BACKGROUND (Why is this Action Necessary, and What Action will be accomplished)
body
Background:
On January 26, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners approved the ranking and negotiations for the Design-Charlotte Harbor Water Quality Initiative - Phase 2 with Giffels-Webster Engineers, Inc. to provide professional design services to complete a preliminary engineering report and design of the wastewater system and potable water system improvements for the Charlotte Harbor Water Quality Initiative - Phase 2 Project including the area generally south of Edgewater Drive, between Lakeview Boulevard and Cabaret Street, Port Charlotte, Florida. The project included additional potable water mains to serve areas that were not presently served as well as the replacement of existing water mains and storm/drainage improvements.
Amendment #1 eliminated areas of the project that are either inconsistent with the Board of County Commissioners approved MSBU boundary or the sewer shed of the vacuum station. In addition, as a result of water and wastewater modeling (after the initial scope was developed), it is necessary to add water and force mains lines and a water booster station as well as an upgraded lift station 23 at the Ohara site.
This Amendment would restart the O’Hara Lift Station design tasks and provide additional support services for Ackerman Zones 3, 4, and the LPS Zone under a revised project scope.
The O’Hara Wastewater Lift Station No. 23 and Water Booster Station No. 10 was rejected by the BCC due to lack of available funding. Now it is intended to advance the project under a revised scope that aligns the work with available funding while preserving the existing site approvals and entitlements. This amendment includes design and construction support services for the wastewater lift station, site civil improvements, and the building shell and exterior architectural and structural components. Booster station process and mechanical equipment, building interior systems and finishes, and associated disciplines will be procured under a separate request for proposals in the future.
