Summary:
Summary
This project consists of the construction of approximately 3,200 linear feet of 8-inch diameter PVC force main installed in Palm Harbor, Florida. Once the proposed force main is operational, the existing former 8-inch force main, which has reached its useful life, will be grouted and abandoned in place. The project will require road, sidewalk, and landscaping restorations.
Body
Background Information:
The County currently has an 8-inch diameter force main along CR 95 that is situated behind houses along Langstaff Drive in a County easement. The force main is ductile iron and in poor condition in some areas, which has caused multiple failures, resulting in the execution of frequent point repairs by the County. Since the force main is in a County easement behind residences, it is difficult to obtain access to make any necessary repairs as it can cause disruptions to the homeowners. This project will upgrade and relocate the force main which is approximately 3,200 linear feet and located along Cheltenham Drive, Langstaff Drive, and Lake St George Drive.
Fiscal Impact:
Expenditure not-to-exceed: $728,077.00
Funding for this project is derived from Sewer Renewal & Replacement Fund.
