Demolition, site work and new construction of a civil project in St Petersburg, Florida. Completed plans call for the construction of a water / sewer project; for site work for a water / sewer project; and for the demolition of a water / sewer project.

The Albert Whitted Water Reclamation Facility (AWWRF) was decommissioned in 2015, and the structures comprising the facility currently remain intact. Following the decommission, the City of St. Petersburg (City) constructed Lift Station 85 (LS85) to redirect influent flows to the City's Southwest Water Reclamation Facility. This project consists of the demolition of the remaining plant facilities, the construction of new wet weather storage/equalization tanks, and the construction of a new administrative building. The new administrative building will be used as a base of operations during storm events. Scope of Work Intent The City of St. Petersburg is seeking responses from qualified vendors to provide Progressive Design-Build services for the demolition of the remaining plant facilities, the construction of new wet weather storage/equalization tanks, and the construction of a new administrative building at the Albert Whitted Water Reclamation Facility.

As a temporary wet weather storage solution, the City directs wet weather flows to the existing aeration basin and two (2) clarifiers located at the northern half of the site (approximately 3.8 MG of storage capacity). This storage shall also remain fully operational until the new wet weather storage is accepted into service.
