The County has decided not to proceed further under this contract with the construction of the North Redington Beach Fire Rescue Station portion of the project.
Background/Explanation:
This is a joint project between Pinellas County Utilities (PCU) and Construction Services. Construction Services was to construct a fire rescue station, and the PCU portion of the project was to replace Lift Station 79 at the site of the Town Hall for the City of North Redington Beach.
Lift station 79 collects the wastewater from both the Town of North Redington Beach and the Town of Redington Shores. Both towns are wholesale customers of Pinellas County Utilities whose flows are metered for billing at this lift station. The wastewater is pumped out of the lift station into the wastewater collection system that terminates at the South Cross Bayou Advanced Water Reclamation Facility.
The fire rescue station guaranteed maximum construction price exceeded the project budget and therefore the County has decided not to proceed forward with this portion of the project under this contract.
