SYNOPSIS: This construction project consists of the acquisition and installation of a nutrient removing filtration system and associated piping, headwall extension, existing structure modifications, and sediment removal at the Solary Canal Stormwater Treatment Area. This agenda item is to award the construction contract to Carr & Collier Inc., the lowest responsive bidder, in the amount of $169,074.00 plus a 10% contingency. The construction is funded by SJRWMD. CONSIDERATIONS: Lake Jesup is a Class 3 water body suitable for recreational use and propagation and maintenance of a healthy, well - balanced population of fish and wildlife. Due to high levels of nutrients, Lake Jesup does not fully support these uses. Water quality restoration targets, called Total Maximum Daily Loads, have been adopted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and provide numerical water quality restoration targets for Lake Jesup. . In December of 2009, the City and St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) entered into an agreement for the City's construction of the Solary Canal Regional Stormwater Treatment Facility. The purpose of the facility is to reduce nutrient discharges into Lake Jesup by intercepting and treating stormwater Consent 302 PAGE 1 OF 3 - January 22, 2018 in Solary Canal, which discharges directly into Lake Jesup. The construction was completed in 2011, and the 30 -acre property was subsequently conveyed to the City. The City currently owns and operates the Stormwater Treatment Facility. On July 20, 2016, in conjunction with the adjacent Southern Oaks subdivision by Taylor Morrison, the City entered into an agreement with SJRWMD in which the City will be reimbursed up to $195,555 for additional improvements made at the Solary Canal Regional Stormwater Treatment Facility. This funding resulted from the sale of approximately two acres on the south edge of the property to Taylor Morrison to construct a dry retention pond to handle stormwater associated with the planned subdivision. Taylor Morrison was required to pay the SJRWMD the value of the reverter, in the sum of $195,555, which are the funds being used to reimburse the City for improvements to Solary Canal. . To best utilize the additional funds, Staff consulted with CDM Smith to design a nutrient removing filtration system and associated infrastructure to help reduce the amount of nutrients being delivered to Lake Jesup through Solary Canal. This project falls inline with the water quality treatment goals of Lake Jesup and should further the goals of the Lake Jesup Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP). .
