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

**As of May 28, 2025, the project was awarded to Tampa Bay Marine, Inc., with an awarded amount of $ 410,835.81.** The Venice Public Fishing Pier is located at 1600 S. Harbor Drive, Venice, Sarasota County, Florida. The scope of the project includes removal and replacement of hurricane damaged framing, decking and railing, on the T section leaving concrete pile caps, piles, and stainless-steel connectors in place, and removal and replacement hurricane damaged deck on the west end of the main pier, leaving primary structural components (beams, pile caps, piles, and railings) in place. The work also includes replacement of damaged pigeon deterrent system, blocking access to horizontal surfaces on the pier structure. Existing fish cleaning stations will remain. Existing water and electrical services damaged will be restored as is. Existing light fixtures that were damaged by the hurricane will be replaced to match existing. The existing pier footprint and heights will remain unchanged. There will be no foundation work. Contractor will be required to relocate the existing fence that was installed to close the damaged portion of the pier and restore any impacts to the pier from the fence removal/relocation. The contractor shall relocate the fence to a location seaward of the landward most fish cleaning station at a maximum to allow continued use of the pier and at least one fish washing station. Materials may be staged on the fenced area of the pier that was not damaged, however, care must be taken when transporting materials to and from the pier as the areas will have pedestrians present. The bait shop and restaurant will remain open during construction, therefore, coordination with the restaurant owner will be required. If an additional laydown area is needed, that will be coordinated with the City and the business owner. Contractor shall provide Forest Stewardship Council chain of custody documentation identifying where all IPE wood used on this project has been harvested and certifying that it was harvested legally. Project bid shall include all elements necessary to complete the project as defined. It is the contractor's responsibility to inspect the site and bid a complete project including all required elements. Award of the contract will be based on the Total Not to Exceed Lump Sum Base Bid.
