The City of Melbourne is planning to use its existing Horizontal Directional Drill Services contract for additional work on the Sarno Road Emergency Force Main Replacement. This project, identified as Project No. 32726, involves utility conflict deflections. The estimated cost for this additional work is $152,344.67. This item is currently under review by the City Council. The scope of work will involve specialized directional drilling to navigate and relocate existing underground utilities that conflict with the force main replacement. This phase of the project is expected to involve site preparation for drilling access and the actual drilling operations. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in utility construction, directional drilling, and related site services could find opportunities by engaging with the city or the contracted service provider early in the process, before final work orders are issued.
