Description of Project: The project is a turn-key project to reduce pollutant discharges into the impaired Indian River Lagoon by installing nutrient separating baffle boxes at five (5) drainage outfalls within the City of Palm Bay. The five locations are strategically located to benefit basins 3, 6, and 7, and together create a treatment train. The benefit of the five (5) baffle boxes is that they will help to reduce the amount of Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus and Total Suspended Solids from the drainage system and will help to improve water quality for the impaired Indian River Lagoon. The third (3rd) generation nutrient separating baffle boxes shall be precast concrete boxes per the details and specifications shown on the two design plans for the five (5) locations. The box concrete strength will be 5,000 PSI minimum with reinforcing rebar per ASTM and FDOT standards. The details and specifications shown on the plans are provided to show minimum required designs; City will accept any equivalent baffle boxes that meet the plans' same specifications. The box dimensions will be sized for existing concrete pipe as shown on the plan sheet for each individual location. The filter material shall provide the required DEP threshold for the percentage of reduction in the amount of Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus and Total Suspended Solids from the drainage system. The filter material shall be removable for cleaning and replacement. The box top shall be installed with rectangular hatches instead of manhole lids when possible and the hatch opening large enough to a person to access the boxes' internal components for cleaning and maintenance. If there are no other options and manholes need to be installed, they shall be 36" in diameter. This turn-key project is to construct stormwater treatment trains in accordance with the final design plans, Grant requirements and permits. The project construction will take place in five locations as shown on pages 4, 6, 9, and 10 of the plan set titled Palm Bay Inlet Treatment Train, and associated detail sheets; and as shown on page 4 of the plan set titled Turkey Creek Nutrient Baffle Box, and associated detail sheets.
