Title
A Resolution Of The City Commission Of The City Of Hollywood, Florida, Authorizing The Appropriate City Officials To Execute The Attached Contract Between Southeastern Engineering Contractors, Inc. And The City Of Hollywood For Construction Services Related To The North Lake Tidal Control Structures, For The Base Bid Amount Of $662,812.50. (City Project No. 15-11035).
Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The area lying north of Hollywood Boulevard, south of Johnson Street, and generally east of and including 13th Avenue routinely experiences tidal inflows into the lower lying streets during the biannual spring tides.
The City has multiple gravity storm water outfalls into North Lake which act as conduits for tidal inflows.
In an effort to prevent tidal inflows through the drainage system, the Department of Public Utilities staff determined that the best and most reasonable course of action is to install control structures with self-activating flap gates made of non-corrosive High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) material
Department of Public Utilities staff prepared the project scope, technical specifications and construction documents.
On September 4, 2015, the Department of Public Utilities staff advertised the project soliciting qualified construction services, and on October 15, 2015, six (6) bid proposals were received at the Office of the City Clerk and were publicly opened at the City of Hollywood Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant with the following results.
