This is a technical specification image for the McIntosh Park Wetland Construction project for the City of Plant City, Florida. The image depicts detailed construction specifications for silt fence and turbidity barriers, which are erosion control measures required to protect water quality during the wetland excavation and restoration work. These barriers are essential components of the project's environmental compliance strategy, particularly given the project's focus on wetland restoration and stormwater treatment on the 363-acre McIntosh Preserve site located at 775 East Knights Griffin Road in Hillsborough County.

The silt fence and turbidity barrier specifications illustrated in the image establish the engineering standards and installation requirements that contractors must follow to prevent sediment and soil disturbance from entering surrounding water bodies during construction activities. These erosion control devices are critical for maintaining compliance with the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection Grant Agreement No. LPA0038, which partially funds the project and requires all work to adhere to specific environmental protection standards. Contractors bidding on IFB 26-048UO-IFB must incorporate these detailed specifications into their construction methodology and project scheduling, with bids due September 24, 2026, to ensure that erosion control measures are properly implemented throughout the 540-calendar-day construction period.
