Body
BACKGROUND: The project involves replacement of approximately 5,000 lineal feet of 12-inch sewer force main pipe starting on the east side of SR-7 and NW 9th Street to the Wastewater Treatment Plant located west of NW 66th Ave. The existing pipe is under sized for the current flows and the proposed 20-inch pipe will provide additional capacity needed to service the eastern portions of the City, including the anticipated City Center development. The duration to complete the project is 270 calendar days. All permit approvals and easements required for the project are on file.
Bid specifications for the above project were approved and the bid advertised.
