Site work for a water / sewer project in Tampa, Florida. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The City of Tampa desires to obtain Professional Design-Build Services for the construction of the Southeast Seminole Heights Flooding Relief Project, Stormwater Capital Improvement Project. The project includes but is not limited to design, construction and perform public relations for a major storm water conveyance system; Segments 1 and 2 as shown on the feasibility analysis document. Segments 1 and 2 consists of the design and construction of approximately 11,600 and 3700. Linear feet of box culvert, laterals, inlets, interconnections to the existing stormwater system, and associated utility construction. The location, length, and corridor of the drainage system will be sited and confirmed by the Design-Build team. The Design-Build effort shall incorporate, to a practical extent, green solutions as part of the proposed stormwater infrastructure. Solutions include, but are not limited to, treatment systems appropriate for an urban area such as pervious pavement, rain gardens, filters, baffle boxes, pocket ponds and wetlands to reduce pollutant loading on the Hillsborough River and Hillsborough Bay. Services will also include coordination and scheduling during the permitting and design phase, cost estimating, public relations, administering subcontracts and all related work required for a completed project. Services will be provided under a contract for a negotiated guaranteed maximum price with appropriate Public Construction Bonds. The contract is expected to be performed over a three year period with a budget of $23.5 million, funded in part by the Southwest Florida Water Management District. The purpose of the conceptual drawings was to attain feasibility for the construction of the box culverts, and the route of the conveyance system. They do not include the design for the upgrade of the local drainage and any green infrastructure elements that will be included in this project. The drawings were not prepared based on topographic survey, nor benefit of a tree survey by an arborist and the existing utilities were shown based on the best information available. It shall be the responsibility of the design team to perform topographic survey and create new base drawings for their design, which shall include the design of the local drainage systems and utility relocations. Questions may be directed to Jim Greiner, P.E., Contract Administration, City of Tampa, (813) 274-8598, or E-Mail jim.greiner@tampagov.net.
