SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:

Title

(consent)

 

Body

SUMMARY: 

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has a project (ID #256881-5-52-01) to construct a pedestrian bridge from the south side of Harn Blvd. and crossing US Highway 19 in Clearwater.  This will involve the removal of approximately 220 feet of 2-inch gas main, which is in conflict with the bridge construction.

Under the Utility Work By Highway Contractor Agreement (UWHCA), the State of Florida’s Department of Transportation general contractor will perform the removal of our existing natural gas mains.  A replacement gas main will be installed by Clearwater Gas System’s sub-contractor on the north side of Harn Blvd before the State bridge construction begins.

Having the State of Florida’s Department of Transportation general contractor remove the natural gas mains allows for work to be done in a timely manner and releases Clearwater Gas System from penalty payments in the event we cause delays on the pipe removal.

 

APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:

Funding for this agreement is budgeted and available in capital project 3237323-96377 (Pinellas New Mains and Service Lines).
