DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Marion County Utilities (MCU) has assigned Tillman and Associates Engineering, LLC, to provide comprehensive engineering design services for the relocation of the Salt Springs Water Treatment Plant. The scope of work includes stormwater pipe design and gutter spread analysis, a critical component of drainage planning that determines the extent to which water travels across the roadway surface before being captured by inlets or other drainage infrastructure. This analysis is essential to ensure compliance with regulations established by the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).
Additional services will include geotechnical investigations, tree protection measures, landscape design, preparation of a major site plan, and a preliminary design report. Tillman and Associates Engineering, LLC, will also be responsible for obtaining necessary permits from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), engineering services for well construction, and submitting a modification request for the existing Consumptive Use Permit. The task order encompasses the development of technical specifications, final design of the new water treatment plant, and coordination of demolition and relocation activities to a site located approximately one mile northwest of the current facility. These efforts will support the effective planning, regulatory compliance, and implementation of the new facility.
Attached for review is a draft contract. If approved at today’s meeting, it will be forwarded to the firm for execution, and upon return, will be forwarded to Legal, the Clerk and Chairman for signatures.
