SUMMARY:
On August 4, 2016, the Council approved the use of Construction Manager at Risk Services (CMR) for Continuing Contracts Biltmore Construction Co., Inc. of Belleair, FL; Cathey Construction and Development, LLC of Mexico Beach, FL; Certus Builders, Inc. of Tampa, FL; J. Kokolakis Contracting, Inc. of Tarpons Springs, FL; J.O. Delotto & Sons, Inc. of Tampa, FL; Keystone Excavators, Inc. of Oldsmar, FL; Khors Construction, Inc. of Thonotosassa, FL; and Wharton-Smith, Inc. of Sanford, FL for a period of four years.
These firms were selected in accordance with Florida Statutes 255.103 and 287.055 under Request for Qualifications #24-16 based upon construction experience, financial capability, availability of qualified staff, local knowledge and involvement in the community.
Pier 60 Bait House, located on Pier 60 approximately 1,000 feet from the mainland, has been in operation since the inception of Pier 60. The bait house is a full-service retail store selling merchandise such as bait, fishing tackle, prepackaged food and snacks, souvenirs, admission to the fishing pier, etc. Public restrooms are provided in the shop for those using the pier and visiting the bait house.
A lift station is required to operate the restrooms in the bait house. The current lift station is outdated and failing as odors from the lift station are backing up into the bait house. Staff is currently managing the odors with sprays and antiseptics until such time as a new system can be installed.
This contract will completely replace the current sanitary system with a new grinder pump pneumatic injector system, including a Carter Pump, demolition, carpentry, thermal and moisture barrier, electrical, plumbing and finishes.
Once operational this new system will be easier to maintain, and it will remove all waste and odors from the restroom and bait house.
This is a 120-day contract and will be completed in September of 2020.
The bait house will remain open to the public throughout the majority of this contract as it will take up to 75 days lead time to construct and ship the new injector system to Clearwater to be reassembled and installed in the lift station pit. The bait house will need to be closed for a period of 14 days for this installation.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
