1412206079 Appendix C - Brandy Branch to Normandy Route Study.pdf

This is an Appendix C route study document for the Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) supporting a progressive design-build services solicitation for a new 230kV transmission line project. The project involves engineering, permitting, surveying, design, procurement, and construction services for circuit 979, extending approximately from the Brandy Branch substation located at 15701 Beaver Street West, Jacksonville, Florida 32234 to the Normandy Substation at 9801 Crystal Springs Road, Jacksonville, Florida 32221. The route study provides technical analysis and documentation supporting the project scope, including transmission line routing alternatives, environmental considerations, and engineering feasibility assessments necessary for design-build teams to develop comprehensive proposals. The solicitation deadline for interested and qualified design and construction teams is September 15, 2026.

The appendix serves as a supporting technical document enabling bidders to understand the project parameters and constraints for the new overhead 230kV transmission circuit installation. This route study information is essential for design teams to evaluate engineering requirements, permitting pathways, and construction methodologies. The document supports JEA's progressive design-build delivery method, which allows for collaborative development between the agency and selected design-build teams throughout project development and execution phases.
