Request Award of Indian Little Jim Camp Sanitary Improvements Construction Contract to R.K. Contractors, Inc. - Bid No. 2025-008
Submitted For:
John Andrews

SUBJECT:

Approval of award of the Little Jim Camp Sanitary Improvements to the low bidder, R.K. Contractors, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $390,648.22.

SUMMARY:

This project proposes connecting the Little Jim Fish Camp sanitary sewer effluent discharge to the St. Lucie County Utilities public low pressure sewer system located at the Stan Blum Memorial Boat Launch Facility.  The proposed improvements include construction of a private lift station complete with an 8" gravity sewer service connection to the existing Little Jim restaurant and bathroom facilities located on site, 640 LF of a 2" directional bore under the Indian River Lagoon, with a final connection to the existing 2" low pressure force main servicing the facilities at the Stan Blum Memorial Boat Launch Facility. The current sanitary sewer treatment facilities servicing the Little Jim property consist of an on-site sewage disposal system which is failing and insufficient to handle the current flow and there are concerns that contamination is possible to the Indian River Lagoon Estuary due to the proximity of the site.
