Summary:
The primary purpose of the First Amendment (Phase II) to the Agreement is to increase the total contract value and extend the term of the agreement by fifty-five (55) months, now that Phase I is complete. The overall purpose of this Project is to remove organic sediments within Lake Seminole (Lake). Nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) associated with these organic sediments are linked to the impairment of the Lake’s water quality. Phase I of the Project consisted of professional engineering and permit modification services. During Phase II, Gator Dredging will be tasked with construction and operation of the dredge material management area and associated infrastructure, dredging and dewatering of sediments, and site restoration. The staging and dewatering site is County owned Parks and Conservation Resources land adjacent to the Lake. This approach is consistent with the award of the contract by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on July 18, 2017.
Background Information:
The Board approved Phase I of this Project on July 18, 2018 which included design work and tasks related to modifying state and federal permits. This work was completed in early August 2018. The entire Project is priced at $18,663,220.00, inclusive of Phase I pricing. Phase II of the Project is anticipated to take fifty-five (55) months to complete and upon completion will complete the Project.
