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

**As of January 11, 2024 this project has been awarded to D.S. Eakins Construction Corporation for $ 5,621,838.74.** The OWNER for the Project is the Town of Lake Park. The ENGINEER for the Project is Water Resources Management Associates, Inc. The Project Objective is described as follows: Storm-water modeling has indicated that the Town's southern storm-water collection system is under significant loading during moderate to high intensity storm events and can potentially produce surcharge flooding up-stream from the southern outfall discharge. The proposed solution, "subsurface storm chambers" will provide a storm-water detention facility which will be directly adjacent to the upstream end of the southern outfall. The proposed subsurface storm chambers will provide: 1) Flood relief by detaining and infiltrating a portion of the flow contributed to the Southern Outfall. 2) Provide water quality treatment to the detained pollutant-laden storm-water runoff, that will eventually reach the ecologically sensitive Intracoastal Waterway; and 3) Preserve the existing greenspace and thereby land use of the property as a recreational park area with athletic fields. The Project Scope is described as follows: The Bert Bostrom Green Infrastructure project consists of the reconfiguring of the existing underground storm-water piping network to accommodate the natural flow of storm-water into new underground storm-water storage chambers, "StormTech Chambers". The chambers will provide temporary storage before gradually releasing the water-flow out to the existing southern outfall piping system. In addition to the new storm-water piping system and storage chambers, the project includes pavement resurfacing of disturbed areas, a reconstruction of the athletic sports fields including irrigation and sodding, which will be constructed over the top of the storage chambers; and finally, the project includes ground landscape work at various side-street locations of the project. The project is partially funded with a Federal Grant managed by Florida Commerce.
