This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Edgewater, Florida. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The City of Edgewater was awarded CDBG-MIT funds for the reconstruction of the G-2 and G-11 canal service areas. The G-11 Canal is a minor tributary to the Gabordy Canal which runs perpendicular to the 10th Street right-of-way. The G-2 Canal conveys the majority of the runoff from south to north and empties into the Gabordy Canal which flows east to the Indian River. The G2 and G-11 Drainage Basin is approximately 350 acres of urbanized low land elevations that are especially prone to flooding. During events like Hurricane Irma where there is heavy rainfall and a significant tidal surge, backflow from the Indian River through the Gabordy Canal prevents the G-2 and G-11 canals from effectively preventing flooding in the service area. When the canals are unable to properly drain the service area, floodwaters damage homes and create the risk of permanent housing loss. The project will focus on preventing backflow and expanding the stormwater capacity of the G-2 and G-11 service areas. Beginning at the point where the G-2 and G-11 Canals intersect with the Gabordy Canal at 10th Street west of Palmetto Avenue, mechanisms will be installed to prevent water from Gabordy Canal from entering its tributary G-2 and G-11 Canals. A new pond, pump station, and pipe will be constructed near Knapp Ave and Perdita Ave to quickly remove water between Park Ave and 10th St. Backflow preventers will be installed near Park Ave and a new pump station and pipe will be constructed on Pine Bluff St to quickly remove water between Park Ave and Marion Ave. Culvert improvements and opportunities for treatment ponds will be evaluated during design. These drainage improvements will eliminate the flooding that occurs in the G-2 and G-11 Canal Drainage Basin every time there is a significant storm surge or tidal event. The project will also include the acquisition of a residential housing unit at 125 Cheeta Drive that has experienced frequent and significant flooding.
