The Broward County UAZ 307 / 315 Utilities project included replacing existing water main and providing sanitary sewer for County Service Areas in the City of Dania Beach, near Griffin Road and Ravenswood Road. The main technical components included replacing a twelve inch water main on Ravenswood Road, replacing the residential water distribution system, providing sanitary sewer to connect existing septic tanks and rehabilitating and installation of new lift stations and force main. In order to achieve the necessary information, site visits concentrated on contacting residents to determine the location of existing tanks. A great deal of coordination was required to accommodate developer projects, tie into County projects and obtain easements for crossing private properties. GIS was used to keep track of all ongoing projects and determine / update projected utility flow rates. A total of 20,000 linear feet of water main replacement, 3 lift stations and 14,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer, which will tie in over 400 parcels were designed for this project. All permits have been completed and issued for this project. Design services were completed in December 2008.
Chen and Associates is also performing construction administration for this project. Construction costs are estimated at $9,600,000.
