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

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is planning to award a construction contract for the Southeast County Force Main Improvements - Segment 2, Construction project. This project involves building new 20-inch PVC and 24-inch HDPE force mains along Alico Road. The work is part of the FY26 Utilities Capital Improvement Program and aims to connect existing collection system force mains to the new Southeast Advanced Water Reclamation Facility, which will also divert flow from the Three Oaks Plant to increase treatment capacity. The estimated total cost for this project is $4,937,585, with construction expected to start in late spring 2026. This project will involve site clearing and grading, underground utility work for the force mains, and potentially paving and restoration. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, heavy civil construction, utility installation, and material supply could find opportunities by engaging early, before final bids and permits are set.
