This is a Master Plan document prepared for McIntosh Park, a 363-acre park located within the City of Plant City, Florida. The plan outlines the City's comprehensive approach to integrated water management and wetland restoration at the preserve. The project objective involves constructing and restoring wetlands to provide stormwater treatment and augment existing wetlands to maintain hydroperiods using reclaimed water sourced from the City's water reclamation facility. Key project components include excavation of wetlands with on-site soil retention and stacking to create a 50-foot hill shaped like Florida, planting of native wetland vegetation, installation of reclaimed water pipe infrastructure with associated apparatus, and bid alternates for recreational amenities including restrooms and wetland boardwalks. The plan serves as the basis for the related McIntosh Park Wetland Construction contract opportunity that will implement these design and restoration strategies.

The project is partially funded through a grant awarded by the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection under Grant Agreement No. LPA0038. All work performed, expenditures incurred, and project-related actions must be conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this grant agreement. The Master Plan establishes the technical and environmental framework for the wetland restoration initiative, providing detailed specifications and design requirements that contractors must follow when bidding on and executing the construction phase of the project.
