5-8.0 - FINAL EXECUTION 2023-2073, 520362013.pdf

This is a final execution contract document for the Beckett Bridge Watermain and Force Main Relocation project in Tarpon Springs, Florida, involving the installation of subaqueous water and wastewater infrastructure. The project scope encompasses the installation of approximately 1,150 feet each of new 8-inch potable water main and new 12-inch wastewater force main using horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technology beneath Beckett Bridge. The contractor is responsible for connecting the new mains to existing, active potable and force mains respectively. The contract is effective from 2023 through 2073, providing a 50-year term for infrastructure maintenance and operation. The estimated construction magnitude ranges between $2,000,000 and $4,000,000, reflecting the specialized nature of the subaqueous drilling work and materials required.

The contract document represents the final execution phase of the procurement process, indicating that all negotiations, reviews, and approvals have been completed and the agreement is now binding. The extended contract term of fifty years suggests this is a long-term infrastructure arrangement rather than a standard construction contract, likely accounting for ongoing operation, maintenance, and potential renewal obligations related to the installed water and force main systems. The specific focus on horizontal directional drilling technology indicates this is a specialized marine construction project designed to minimize environmental disruption while installing critical water utility infrastructure.
