BACKGROUND
On February of 2012, Pure Technologies, the City's consultant in this matter, submitted a
Condition Assessment Report of the existing 54" Pre-Stressed Concrete Cylinder Plpe (PCCP)
force main connecting to the Government Cut force main. lt was discovered of the 260 pipes
analyzed, 8 pipes (3%) were found with electromagnetic anomalies representing broken steel
pre-stressing wire wraps. Although these anomalies do not pose an imminent threat to the
performance of the City's sanitary sewer service, a redundant 54" force main would ensure
sanitary sewer service in the event of an emergency or during maintenance. The force main is
of importance since the existing 54" force main conveys the City's entire sanitary sewer to the
water treatment plant on Virginia Key. ln addition the intent would be to rehabilitate the existing
54" force main's electromagnetic anomalies after bringing the proposed 54" force main into
service.

best suited for this project, As a result, the Department prepared a Design Criteria Package,

submission of their price proposal. The Project consists of micro-tunneling for the installation
of the 54" force main, open trench construction at the launch and retrieval shafts, possible
replacement, restoration, relocation or abandonment of existing water and/or sewer facilities,
maintenance of traffic, landscaping, restoration of disturbed drainage features, roadway
reconstruction / pavement markings, repair and/or extension of existing sidewalks to comply
with ADA requirements, and the incorporation and the undergrounding of utilities, including
Florida Power and Light (FPL), Atlantic Broadband (ABB) and AT&T.
