SUMMARY:
On September 17, 2020, Council approved the use of thirteen firms to serve as construction managers for the City under RFQ 40-20 and Certus Builders, Inc., was selected as one of the approved firms.
Cliff Stephens Park is a 46-acre parcel of land sitting on two separate ponds fed by Alligator Creek. The park contains a frequently utilized disc golf course and multiple trails, most notably a portion of the Ream Wilson Trail. It connects with Kapok Park on its eastern side, forming a popular and highly visited outdoor amenity for the residents of Clearwater. The surrounding neighborhood and residents have expressed interest to city staff for the construction of a new dock overlooking the eastern lake, following the recent demolition of a previously existing dock that had reached its useful life.
This proposal is for all work needed for the project, which includes the construction of structural and marine elements, decking, paneling, and handrails. The proposed dock will be located in the same location as it existed previously and will provide for compliance with accessibility standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This is a 120-day contract which will commence upon issuance of a Notice to Proceed.
