This is a Summary of Addendum #3 Plan Changes document for the Lake Ferns Road Industrial Park infrastructure improvement project being procured by the City of Umatilla, Florida. The addendum specifies a modification to the original contract plans: the addition of 4-inch water service (Item C-720). The Lake Ferns Road Improvements project (ITB-25-PW-001) encompasses approximately 19.835 acres of infrastructure development including new water lines (10-inch PVC water mains), 4-inch force mains, sewer lines, roadway construction with ribbon curbs, drainage systems, and stormwater management systems across three proposed industrial lots. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on January 16, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. in the City of Umatilla Council Chambers. Sealed bids were due by 2:00 p.m. on February 13, 2025, with City Council contract award scheduled for March 4, 2025, final contract approval on March 18, 2025, and Notice to Proceed anticipated prior to March 31, 2025. Bidders were required to submit two physical copies and one digital copy of their proposals.

The project is funded through $4.8 million in grant funding, with original project estimates of approximately $2.7 million. Bidders must provide a bid bond, corporate resolution, non-collusion affidavit, trench safety affidavit, proof of adequate insurance, and current licensing documentation. The contract includes liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day for failure to meet project completion deadlines. Environmental considerations include a 0.205-acre wetland area with a proposed 25-foot buffer zone, and the site involves multiple soil types requiring careful soil management during site preparation. The site is zoned as Planned Unit Development (PUD) with adjacent zoning designations including Planned Development Future (PDF) and Limited Manufacturing (LM).
