Winter Haven has negotiated Task Order #5 with RES for wetland and aquifer recharge design and permitting totaling 1727282 before credits, covering North and South Wetland Systems, reclaimed water connections, the aquifer recharge intake system, treatment train, and booster pump to the recharge well. RES will produce permit-ready engineering drawings, draft specifications, engineering calculations, construction cost estimates, and an operations and maintenance plan and cost, with specific subtasks for reclaimed water connections, modeling, pre-permit design, and landscape architectural 3D graphics. The Coca-Cola Company is providing 500000 in funding through RES, reducing the City’s cost for Task Order #5 to 1227282, and the work is to be funded with a combination of FDEP grants and Water Department capital funds across FY 2025/2026 and subsequent years. For engineering, modeling, and environmental services firms, this pre-permit design phase is a strong indicator of substantial downstream construction, instrumentation, SCADA, and O&M needs for which RES may seek specialty partners and the City will later procure construction services.
