PROJECT BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY

SECTION 1

PROJECT INFORMATION

1.1 PROJECT SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND

This project (IQ Main Relocation) consists of the construction to adjust and relocate Collier County Public Utilities Department’s (PUD) existing 20” irrigation quality (IQ) water main that will be in conflict with the roadway and interchange improvements proposed at the Pine Ridge Road and Interstate 75 (I-75) interchange. The roadway and interchange improvement project is administered by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The Collier County IQ Main Relocation project will be administered by Collier Couty Public Utilities Department (PUD).

FDOT has administered a roadway and interchange improvement project that commenced construction in March of 2025. The FDOT financial project identification number is 445296-1-52-

01. The roadway improvement design professional is HDR Engineering, Inc. The FDOT Project Manager is Joshua A. Jester, P.E. The FDOT project includes roadway, stormwater and ponds, lighting, signal and traffic operations improvements, in addition to the relocation of other utilities in the project area. All bidders are encouraged to request the entire set of FDOT design plans from FDOT and review them prior to bidding.

FDOT requires Collier County to relocate PUD’s existing 20” PVC Irrigation Quality (IQ) Water Main located along the center median and center divider of Pine Ridge Road, on either side of I- 75.

In addition to the 20” IQ main relocation, the awarded contractor for the IQ Main Relocation project will be responsible for coordinating the construction activities and schedules with FDOT’s project administrator(s), FDOT’s contractor(s), other utility providers, and with Collier County Project Management and Operations staff.

The FDOT project’s construction commenced prior to the issuance of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) of this IQ Main Relocations project administered by Collier County. The Collier County IQ Main Relocation project is anticipated to be performed concurrent with the FDOT project’s construction.

This project also includes the restoration of all areas disturbed by the IQ Main Relocation project, which may include, but not limited to, the replacement of sidewalks, light poles, fences, grading of swales and ditches, sodding, roadway restoration, street lighting, signs and pavement markings, and the replacement of all landscaping and hardscaping that is damaged or disturbed during construction.

A majority of the construction activities are located within FDOT Right-of-Ways (ROWs), however, there are portions of the project located within Collier County ROWs and Collier County properties. The Contractor is required to acquire the Collier County Right-of-Way Permit.
