Body
SUMMARY:
ITB 20-0028-EN closed September 9, 2020 with Steve’s Excavating and Paving Inc. as the lowest most responsible bidder.
The project intent is to establish an annual contract for the installation of stormwater underdrain infrastructure at various locations throughout the City of Clearwater.
High groundwater table elevation often causes visible seepage, or subsurface impacts to roadway infrastructure and its integrity. The installation of an underdrain system provides a means for groundwater to travel, minimizing impacts to surrounding assets.
The Engineering Department will direct the contractor to high priority areas as established by review of inspection reports and maintenance records.
This is a unit price contract not to exceed a total of $300,000 annually with an estimated start date of December 1, 2020.
The city reserves the option to extend the contract on a yearly basis up to three additional one-year renewal terms.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
ENST180001-CONS-CNSTRC $300,000
Funds are available in Capital Improvement Project ENST180001, Storm System Improvements, to fund the contract and will be included in FY2022 through FY2024 Capital Improvement Program for future renewals in the amount of $300,000 per year.
