Fire Station No. 23 Drain Field

The Clay County Board of County Commissioners is initiating a project to upgrade and remediate the drainage system at Fire Station No. 23 in Florida. The scope involves removing a failing drain field and responsibly disposing of contaminated materials, followed by excavating and replacing the compromised soil with clean, uncontaminated soil. To improve system reliability and capacity, the project includes constructing two new drain fields—one to replace the existing one and another on the opposite side of the septic tank. An additional septic tank will be installed, equipped with two effluent pumps, each with control panels and four floats, allowing independent management of each drain field. The design incorporates trench layouts to optimize waste flow and system durability. After completing the structural work, the site will be landscaped with seeding and hay to stabilize the area and restore its appearance. The project aims to ensure the operational safety and efficiency of the station’s wastewater management system, with a budget estimated between $200,000 and $500,000. The solicitation for this project was posted on November 15, 2024, with a response deadline of December 6, 2024. The project is managed under the NAICS code 238910, which pertains to site preparation contractors, and is overseen by the Florida Public Safety agency. The primary point of contact is Jessika Buzzelli, reachable via email or phone. The project details and procurement process are accessible through the county’s online portal. Additionally, an EFT authorization form is included in the documentation, indicating that payments will be processed electronically, with the necessary banking information provided for secure transactions. This comprehensive upgrade is essential for maintaining the station’s operational readiness and ensuring environmental compliance.
