Lee County Utilities Technical Specifications Summary
This document is a comprehensive technical specifications manual prepared by Lee County Utilities for water and wastewater infrastructure projects, establishing standards for construction, materials, equipment, and installation procedures across multiple engineering disciplines. The specifications cover general requirements, concrete work, structural metals, finishes, plumbing, and electrical systems, with detailed guidelines for surface preparation, quality assurance, testing protocols, and operational procedures. The manual encompasses divisions addressing demolition, lead abatement, concrete formwork and reinforcement, precast structures, metal fabrication, painting and coating systems, submersible pump installations, basic electrical materials and methods, low-voltage wiring and cables, grounding and bonding systems, conduit installations, underground ductbanks, equipment identification, wiring devices, short-circuit coordination studies with arc-flash analysis, acceptance testing and performance verification, transformers, panelboards, motors, electrical service connections, circuit breakers, and control panel fabrication. The document references numerous industry standards including NEC (National Electrical Code), NEMA, ASTM, IEEE, ANSI, OSHA, AWWA, and Florida Department of Environmental Protection regulations, with submission requirements for shop drawings, test reports, operation and maintenance manuals, and record documents submitted throughout construction phases. Bidders' meetings, site inspections, and coordination with the Engineer of Record (designated as Bowman Consulting Group, Ltd. in the related Arthrex Shovel Ready Project) are integral to project execution, with substantial completion targeted for July 30, 2027, and final completion by September 17, 2027.
Pricing structures are established through unit pricing for measured quantities and lump-sum compensation for general conditions, with all costs including labor, materials, equipment, and ancillary expenses subject to field adjustments by the Authority. The specifications mandate compliance with Lee County Utilities' approved materials lists for potable water and wastewater infrastructure and FDOT Standard Specifications for Fiscal Year 2025-26, with particular emphasis on corrosion-resistant materials for exterior installations, NSF-61 certification for potable water contact materials, and comprehensive testing and inspection protocols including thermographic surveys, insulation resistance testing, and acceptance testing performed by certified independent firms. Funding sources derive from FAA Airport Improvement Program grants requiring Buy American preferences and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance, with DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) participation targets established per federal requirements. Contractors must maintain performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of contract value, comprehensive insurance coverage including general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and pollution/professional liability of $2,000,000 per occurrence, and AOA (Airport Operations Area) security clearance compliance with TSA regulations. Liquidated damages of $1,500 per calendar day apply for delays beyond the final completion date, and the contractor must comply with all South Florida Water Management District Environmental Resource Permit conditions while adhering to specified warranties, typically ranging from one to five years depending on equipment and system components.

4. Review of the Schedule by the ENGINEER will not constitute ENGINEER's representation that the Work can be completed as shown on the Schedule.
C. Submittals Schedule: In addition to the above scheduling requirements, submit a complete and detailed listing of anticipated submittals during the course of the Contract. Coordinate these submittals with those of subcontractors and suppliers.
Identify each submittal by Contract drawing number and Specification section number. Show the anticipated submission due date for each submittal along with the date on which its return is required. For planning purposes, average turn-around time for shop drawings will be 14 Calendar Days after receipt. Longer durations for review may be required and will not be considered a basis for a claim for additional time or compensation. For submittals on the critical path, at the time of submission mark transmittal in red with the words "Critical Path".
1. Submit Submittal schedule within 10 Days from the Notice to Proceed. Revise as required and incorporate the dates and review durations into the CPM Schedule.
1.4 NETWORK REQUIREMENTS
A. Diagram: Show in the network diagram the order and interdependence of activities and the sequence in which the Work is to be accomplished. The purpose of the network analysis diagram is to show how the start of a given activity is dependent on the completion of preceding activities and its completion restricts the start of succeeding activities. Follow a time scaled precedence format. Time scale the detailed network diagram showing a continuous flow from left to right.
B. Develop the schedule activities into two major groups; procurement activities; and construction activities:
1. Include the following procurement activities as a minimum:
a. Permits
b. Easements
c. Submittal items
d. Approval of submittal items
e. Fabrication and delivery of submittal items.
Tie each of the above procurement items logically to the correct construction activity in the overall CPM construction schedule.
2. Under construction activities section utilize physical work activities to describe how the job will be constructed.
C. Activity Durations: Break the work into activities with durations of 1 to 20 Days each, except for nonconstruction activities, such as procurement of materials and delivery of equipment, and other activities which may require longer durations. To the extent feasible, group activities related to a specific physical area of the project on the network for ease of understanding and simplification. The ENGINEER and OWNER will review the selection and number of activities.
1. For each activity on the network indicate the following:
a. A single duration, no longer than 20 Days (i.e., the single best estimate of the expected elapsed time considering the scope of work involved in the activity) expressed in Days. Include normal holidays and weather delay.
Show critical path for the schedule.
b. Assign an activity I.D. number to each activity. The I.D. number will be numeric with a maximum of 5 digits.
c. Include a brief description of the activity. If this description is not definitive, a separate listing of each activity and a descriptive narrative may be required.
d. Cost load each activity, except for procurement activities, to indicate the total estimated costs of the activity. No activity shall exceed $60,000 except for equipment items. Assign material costs to delivery activities.
e. Load each activity with the estimated work hours to be expended on each activity.
D. Incomplete Schedule: Failure to include on the network any element of work required for the performance of this Contract does not excuse the CONTRACTOR from completing all Work required within the applicable completion time, notwithstanding the network review by the ENGINEER or the OWNER and OWNER's Authorized Representative.
1.5 COST LOADING
A. Schedule of Values: Allocate a dollar value to each activity on the construction schedule as specified. Include in dollar value the cost of labor, equipment, and material, and a pro rata contribution to overhead and profit. The sum of the activities cost shall be equal to the total contract price. In submitting cost data the CONTRACTOR certifies that it is not unbalanced and that the value assigned to each activity represents the CONTRACTOR's estimate of the actual costs of performing that activity.
B. Documentation: If, in the opinion of the ENGINEER, the cost data does not meet the requirements for a balanced Contract Price breakdown, present documentation to the ENGINEER substantiating any cost allocation. If an activity on the construction schedule has been assigned a disproportionate allocation of direct costs, overhead and profit the cost allocations will be considered unbalanced.
1.6 PROGRESS OF THE WORK
A. Delays to Critical Path: Whenever it becomes apparent from the current monthly CPM Schedule update that delays to the critical path have resulted and these delays are through no fault of the OWNER, and hence, that the Contract completion date will not be met, or when so directed by the OWNER, take one or more of the following actions to improve the Completion Date at no additional cost to the OWNER.
