4. Understanding of Scope
Water and Wastewater - FY2016 Operating Budget FY16-20 Capital Program
Septic Tank Elimination Program 9291
Priorities (District 1, 2, 3A)
Impacted Utilities
System Reliability/Quality
Facility replacements/improvements along with water treatment improvements support reliable service goals for our customers.
• Reduce sewer backups
• Reduce water and sewer main breaks
• Reduce system-wide boil water events
Septic Tank Elimination
• Over 15,500 septic tanks eliminated since 2001.
• Approximately 3,200 remain (5.5% of our customers). Most eliminated by 2020.
• FY16-20 Septic Tank Elimination Capital Program focuses on District 1 and District 2 and capital projects in District 3A.
• Prioritization is based on availability of sewer service in close proximity to target areas.
• Feasibility study for Pembroke Pines and Hollywood portions of District 3BC sewer will start shortly.

5. Specific Project Approach
Phase 1: Preliminary Design
Scope and budget meeting with the County
Internal kick off meeting
Data Collection and Analysis
Preliminary Design and stakeholder input
Pre-app meetings
Phase 2: Final Design
Soft digs
Permitting
Final Design
Community Outreach
Phase 3: Engineering Services During Construction
Data Collection and Analysis:
During this phase Survey and utility investigation, and initial anlysis begins. The analysis includes identifying the Service Area, Design Flows, possible Lift Station locations, Property Finish floor elevations and taking note of clean-out locations, particularly ones that are located far from the R/W line.
Project Scope Determination:
Water Main Improvements
Fire Flow – Additional Fire Hydrants
Roadway Improvements & Sidewalk/ADA
Drainage Improvements

8. Similar Project Experience

2.0 MGD LS Services 50% of Town
24” force main partially constructed w/ Directional Drilling to WWTP
Public Outreach / Community Meetings
Assisted Town w/ acquiring funding through Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan program

9. Lessons Learned
Keep local municipality and residents informed early and often
Evaluate neighborhood impact upfront
Obtain good survey including location of all clean-outs
Identify controlling elements early on
Existing lift station invert elevation
Existing force main and lift station capacities
Potential new lift station sites
FFE elevations
Clean-outs far from the R/W
Affected utilities
Since these projects predominately occur within local municipalities it is important to coordinate with them up front to consider opportunities for other improvements and discuss their budgets. They may want to include other component to the project to improve drainage, water mains, ADA, ect while the neighborhood is being disturbed by the construction.
Obtain good survey including location of all clean-outs (Curt notes - this will be necessary when determining elevations/depths of “shallow” manhole. If the clean-outs are far from the R/W or the FF is lower than average this will have an impact on the depth of the structures and the overall gravity system.
These controlling elements need to be taken into consideration in the analysis and preliminary layout phase to reduce the overall depth of the system and reduce costs and construction impacts.
