Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is reviewing a contract amendment for the Downtown Jail Domestic Waterline Replacement project. This project involves replacing the remaining domestic hot and cold-water supply piping within the Downtown Jail, which was originally installed in 1983. The existing copper piping has shown significant corrosion, and the upgrade will use CPVC piping to improve system reliability. This budgeted project is funded through the General Fund with an amount of $3,488,212.07. The work is planned to involve plumbing system upgrades, including the removal of old piping and installation of new CPVC lines. Contractors specializing in plumbing, underground utility work, and potentially site preparation for access could find opportunities. Reaching out to the project managers early, before final bids and permits are settled, offers the best chance to compete for this work.
