Manufactured Home Communities(MHC's) Wastewater System Improvements Project Package 2 (PID 005015A) ARPA

The purpose of this project is to provide upgrades to outdated and problematic wastewater systems within fourteen (14) Manufactured Home Communities (MHCs). Specifically within Package 2, work includes the decommissioning, replacement, and construction of the existing MHC wastewater collection system, namely Lake Seminole Resort South Residence, Inc. (also known as (a.k.a.) Lake Seminole Estates). Additionally, there are four (4) additives which are labeled as optional work that is conditional based on availability of additional grant funds is the is the decommissioning, replacement, and construction of four (4) MHC’s wastewater collection system, namely Oasis Home Owners, Inc., Midway AM/CAN Home Owners, Inc., Grosse Pointe Co-Op, Inc., and Four Seasons Estates Resident Owned Community (ROC), Inc. The construction of this project is funded by the United States (U.S.) Department of the Treasury Award SLFRP4653 and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s (FDEP) Resilient

Florida Grant No. 22FRP09; therefore substantial completion has a deadline of June 30, 2026.Project benefits include, but are not limited to, mitigating the adverse impacts from wetter climate conditions, flooding, and sea level rise by improving critical wastewater infrastructure to reduce sanitary sewer overflows. Overall replacement of the wastewater collection systems within these communities would eliminate leaking pipes, leaking manholes, and illegal connections from storm and roof drains. This would result in a contribution to higher water quality in the area and nearby water bodies, a contribution to the protection of living coastal and marine resources and their environments, and a more resilient wastewater collection system in an environmentally vulnerable area. BackgroundThis package is part of a larger integrated MHC project with the goal of improving wastewater collection systems of up to 14 MHCs within Pinellas County. The project’s approach includes both decommissioning of existing outdated and problematic wastewater collection systems and the construction of new wastewater collection systems. The replacement of outdated and problematic wastewater collection systems will reduce repair costs paid for by the residents, reduce the amount of Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) being contributed to the County’s public wastewater collection system, and lower the risk of Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) and consequently, adverse environmental impacts.TimelineIssue Date:April 23, 2024Step 1 Question Submission Deadline:May 3, 2024, 3:00pmStep 1 Bid Submission Deadline:May 9, 2024, 3:00pmStep 2 Bid Submission Deadline:June 6, 2024, 3:00pm
