Body
SUMMARY:
February 2020, RFQ 29-20 was issued seeking an engineering firm to design improvements for Nash Street and Old Clearwater Bay.
The RFQ selection committee, consisting of four representatives from the Engineering, Public Utilities and Stormwater Maintenance departments, reviewed eight submitted qualifications. The committee selected Advanced Engineering and Design to design the improvements to Nash Street and Old Clearwater Bay based on the broad amount of relevant experience designing similar projects.
The existing stormwater infrastructure in the Old Clearwater Bay and Nash Street neighborhoods is undersized and surcharges onto private property. Upon investigation, the water & wastewater collection systems are also nearing the end of their useful lifespan.
The project will consist of replacing and or improving the potable water, wastewater, stormwater systems, and reconstruction of the roadway, providing reliable infrastructure for many years.
Anticipated services include, but are not limited to, design development, cost estimating, construction drawings, specifications, bid documents, as-needed permit acquisition and limited post-design construction services through the duration of the project.
This project will be solicited using two separate construction contracts. Design of the Gulf to Bay Estates neighborhood (referred to as Nash St.) will begin immediately. Design of the Old Clearwater Bay neighborhood is anticipated to begin Summer 2021. Construction is anticipated to start in spring of 2022.
