3. Staff recommends motion to approve: Supplement No. 2 to Work Order (WO) No.

Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

Palm Beach County is considering a supplement to an existing construction contract for work related to the Turnpike Widening project. This supplement, for Work Order No. 12, involves relocating approximately 560 linear feet of a 30-inch water main under the Florida Turnpike. The proposed method is microtunneling, which differs from the previously planned jack and bore method. This supplement also requests a 90-day extension to the project timeline. The project is part of the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department's FY 2026 Budget. This item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners, with staff recommending approval. The work will involve specialized underground utility construction, including microtunneling, material procurement, and labor. Contractors specializing in utility relocation, microtunneling, and heavy civil construction may find opportunities. Reaching out to the contractor and county early could provide an advantage before final permits and schedules are set.
