The Polk Regional Water Cooperative is seeking approval for encroachment agreements with Tampa Electric Company for the Southeast Wellfield Transmission Main Project. This project involves the construction of a transmission main, which is a large pipe that will carry water from a wellfield to the treatment or distribution system. The item is currently pending review and has not yet been approved, so the opportunity is still in the early planning stages. The scope of work would include site clearing and grading, underground utility installation, and the laying of the transmission main pipe. This would also involve coordination with existing utility lines and potential road or driveway crossings. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in the heavy civil, utility, and excavation sectors could compete for this work. Reaching out early, before final plans and permits are settled, is the best way to position your business for this project.
