Recommended Action
Approve Contract No. 2018-06 between the City of North Port and V & H Construction Inc. for Water Control Structure (WCS) No. 115 Replacement Project, in the amount of $1,064,496.00 plus contingency funding of $106,449.60 for a total of $1,170,945.60. The project was budgeted and funding is available in Fiscal Year 2018.
Background Information
The existing WCS No. 115 is located on the Snover Waterway just west of Chamberlain Boulevard in the City of North Port. The Snover Waterway discharges to Myakkahatchee Creek. The existing structure is equipped with four gates which are operated in the closed position to allow storage of water similar to a reservoir. In anticipation of pending rain storm events and as the water level rises, the gates are opened as needed to reduce flooding. The water in the Creek serves as a raw water supply for the City’s Water Treatment Plant. Thus, the proper functioning of these gates and structure is critical to the City's ability to control water levels, minimize adverse impacts from a storm event and supplement the City’s potable water supply. This structure was constructed in the early 1960's. Over time, extensive corrosion has developed in the sheet metal weir, supports, gates and catwalk and the entire structure needs to be replaced.
The scope of this project is to construct a new WCS No. 115 just upstream of the existing structure. The new WCS No. 115 structure will include coated sheet metal weir with reinforced concrete cap, catwalk, four automated gates with the capability of manual or remote gate operation via telemetry control, cameras, a lighting system and rip-rap for erosion control. Work will include dewatering, flow by-passing and removal and disposal of all demolished material of the existing WCS No. 115 structure.
