11. Approve Easement Purchase for Billy Creek Septic Conversion - 8681 Ortiz Circle

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

Lee County is planning a septic conversion project at 8681 Ortiz Circle. This project involves acquiring a perpetual utility easement of approximately 49,004 square feet and a temporary easement. The purpose is to install a sewer line and residential connections as part of the Billy Creek & Orange River Impaired Water Area Septic Conversion Project. This project is currently in the design phase, meaning work is planned but not yet underway. The scope of work will likely include site preparation for utility installation, excavation for sewer lines, and connection to residential properties. Following this, underground utility work and final site restoration will be necessary. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, utility installation, concrete, and landscaping could find opportunities. Engaging early, before final plans and permits are issued, offers the best chance to compete for this upcoming work.
