Background Information
The City of North Port Utilities Department (NPU) owns and operates an extensive wastewater collection system within the City of North Port. NPU has received a Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), for I&I mitigation projects.
This scope of services will focus on the Cured-in-Place-Pipe Lining (CIPP) improvements as part of the I&I mitigation project. NPU was awarded CDBG Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) funds under Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) Agreement No. IR025 to replace pipe-lining due to storm damage causing excessive inflow and infiltration into NPU's wastewater collection system. During the storm events of Hurricane Irma, NPU's wastewater plant recorded high levels of excess sanitary sewer inflow. This was caused by the cracking in the NPU's vitrified clay pipes (VCP) that are currently in use. The project will utilize CIPP lining for sewer rehabilitation to mitigate and correct increases in the City's VCP cracking. The VCP are at the end of expected life and will continue to worsen if not remedied; potentially resulting in sewage backup in residences. The completion of this project will give reliable and resilient sewer service to City residents within the project areas.
The CDBG-MIT grant will be the only funding used for this project. This project will benefit 3,750 households. 59% of these households are considered low- and moderate-income according to U.S....
