SUMMARY:
November 2, 2017, City Council approved a JPA between Pinellas County and City of Clearwater for Utility Relocations in the amount of $402,948.
The utility relocations were to accommodate conflicts between a City 16-in. potable water main and Pinellas County improvements to its stormwater system along Sunset Point Road from Douglas Avenue to Kings Highway. Construction began in early 2019 and is anticipated to be complete by the end of 2020.
During construction, unforeseen conflicts between the City water main and the County’s proposed stormwater improvements were identified. In addition, some sections of the water main were found to have insufficient cover and required relocation and/or concrete encasement.
This first amendment increases the construction budget in the amount of $333,108.17 to fund the unforeseen work, bringing the total construction budget to $736,056.17.
