DESCRIPTION
The Utilities Division requested Procurement to solicit bids from qualified contractors who were interested in constructing one Upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA) supplemental supply well with a flow rate of 1,200 gallons per minute. The UFA well is necessary to augment the amount of water delivered to the east regional utility service area alternative water supply receiving facility located near the intersection of Masterpiece Road and Timberlane Road.
