BACKGROUND:

The City of Ocala (“City”) Wastewater Master Plan, prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (“Kimley-Horn”) in August 2019 identified and recommended a list of improvements needed for the City’s wastewater system. The wastewater force main upgrade from Lift Station No. 5 to No. 17 was listed as Improvement No. 9. This improvement will allow the option of redirecting wastewater flows from Lift Station No.5 to both Water Reclamation Facilities providing redundancy to the system. This project is listed on the FY23 Engineering Business Plan.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:

Kimley-Horn will provide engineering services for the design of a new force main to route the existing wastewater flows from Lift Station No.5 to No.17 and the required pump upgrades for Lift Stations No. 38, No. 88 and No. 57. Kimley-Horn will prepare the construction documents and permitting and assist the City with the bidding and construction phase services. The design will consist of approximately 9,000 linear feet of new 18-inch force main along Southwest 17^th Street (SR 464) and Southwest 19^th Avenue Road (Easy St.). The design will divide the construction into three phases.
