Site work and paving for a mixed-use development in Gonzalez, Florida. Completed plans call for site work for a sidewalk / parking lot; for paving for a sidewalk / parking lot; and water / sewer project.

**As of April 10, 2025, this project has not yet been awarded. A timeline for the award has not yet been established.** This project is located at the old Cantonment Wastewater Treatment Plant and will consist of removing all site improvements except the controls building, asphalt driveway around the perimeter, and stormwater system. Once the site has been demolished, the contractor shall prepare for, and install, an 80x100 concrete slab to be located just west of the office building where the RBC Units are currently located. There will also need to be a concrete walkway installed between the controls building and new concrete slab. This scope of work will be to remove all site improvements except the Controls Building, asphalt driveway around the perimeter, and the stormwater system. This site was once used as a wastewater treatment plant for the area and has large concrete structures that will need to be removed, along with the lift stations and associated piping for the wastewater treatment system. There is an existing 4" sewer pipe that runs along the north side of the driveway that will need to remain in place for future sewer connection from the Control Building. Also, all stormwater piping shall remain in-place and shall be protected during demolition. The County's Solid Waste Department will be receiving all the concrete removed from the site but the contractor must remove all reinforcement from the concrete. The County's Road Department will be transporting the concrete to Solid Waste for recycling. Additionally, the County Road Department will be providing all necessary fill material to backfill the areas where the concrete structures are removed. This project will also include construction of a 80x100 concrete slab to be installed approximately 20' west of the existing Controls Building, with a concrete sidewalk connecting to the Controls Building. For all buried wastewater pipes that are 20' outside the proposed footprint of the new concrete slab, the contractor will have the option to leave the buried pipe in place and flow-fill them instead of removing.
