JYLP_Valves_Conflict_05_14_2026.pdf

This is a utility conflict analysis document for the City of Fort Myers related to the John Yarbrough Linear Park (JYLP) Trail Construction project, specifically addressing force main adjustments required due to design conflicts with existing sanitary sewer and air release valve infrastructure. The document identifies eight utility facilities requiring adjustment along the proposed trail alignment between Colonial Boulevard and Hanson Street, with conflicts occurring at various station locations spanning approximately 1.83 miles. The utility adjustments include five sanitary sewer valves and three FM air release valves, with most facilities requiring grade adjustment to accommodate the finished trail surface. One air release valve at station 361+99.81 requires relocation rather than simple grade adjustment. The adjustments are categorized under two pay items: Pay Item 1080-24-500 for grade adjustments and Pay Item 1080-24-400 for relocations. The analysis was revised as of December 7, 2022, and is associated with Florida Shared-Use Nonmotorized Trail Network funding under the Department's FY-24/25 work program.

The document serves as design coordination documentation to ensure that utility infrastructure does not conflict with the proposed 912-foot prestressed concrete bridge over SR 886/Colonial Boulevard and the 139-foot prefabricated steel bridge over 10-mile canal. This conflict analysis is essential for constructability planning and cost estimation, as contractors must account for the identification and adjustment of these utilities within their project budgets and schedules. The specific locations, distances from the proposed trail, and adjustment requirements provide critical information for the successful execution of the trail construction project and coordination between the City of Fort Myers and relevant utility operators.
