Utility Coordination Utility Agency Owners (UAO) with existing overhead (aerial) cables attached to poles along Collins Street between Alabama Street and Laura Street are relocating their facilities to underground. Any conflicts between the WORK that the CONTRACTOR is to perform and the utility owner’s facilities shall be resolved by the CONTRACTOR and the utility owner with the CITY’S concurrence. Utility Relocation Schedules are included in the Contract Documents as an Exhibit. Utility Adjustment plans included in the construction plans are provided for information purposes only. Direct coordination by the CONTRACTOR and Utilities is required during the course of the project.

Soil and Groundwater Management The project area abuts properties with known soil and groundwater contamination.

Contractor’s operations may encounter contaminated soil and groundwater. See General Requirements.

Permits A. The CITY has obtained the following permit exemption:

1. Southwest Florida Water Management District, ERP Project Evaluation- Project

Exempt Permit, File Number 823413, May 13, 2021.

B. The CONTRACTOR is responsible to apply and obtain NPDES permit and shall meet the following requirements:

1. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for meeting the requirements of the National

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program in the State of Florida, found in DEP Document No. 62-621.300(4)(a). This includes: submittal of a Notice of Intent to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Stormwater Notices Center and posting of Notice of Intent (NOI) or acknowledgement letter from DEP at the site: construction and documenting inspections for erosion control measures and Stormwater Management: the development and implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP): and, filing Notice of Termination (NOT) within fourteen days of final stabilization of the site and retention of reports for three (3) years after final stabilization. The SWPPP must be prepared under the direction of a Florida Licensed professional engineer. Prior to implementation, the SWPPP is to be submitted to the CITY for review and approval.

2. The CONTRACTOR shall review and understand the project construction limits, areas specified for clearing and grubbing, wetland delineations, and areas specified per the project permits for temporary and permanent impacts against their means and methods of construction prior to bidding on the Contract. If the CONTRACTOR’s means and methods of construction require permit modifications, the CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for all impacts, including project costs and delays associated with pursuing the modifications to the permits.

3. Since erosion control on the project site is performance based, simply installing

Scope of Work - Page 3 of 3 erosion control devices shown on the SWPPP may not be sufficient in certain cases. If inspections by the CONTRACTOR or the CITY reveal that controls are insufficient, the CONTRACTOR is to install additional erosion control devices as necessary to prevent off-site discharge of sediment and other possible sources of pollution, such as stormwater runoff.

4. All Construction General Permit (CGP) compliance violations and/or SWPPP deficiencies identified through site inspections shall be resolved in a timely manner, dependent upon the severity of the violation. Failure to resolve all compliance violations in a timeframe agreeable to the CITY shall result in requisite enforcement actions. All costs associated with enforcement actions shall be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR.

5. CONTRACTOR shall adhere to all Florida Department of Environmental

Protection guidelines regarding CGP compliance and SWPPP implementation.
