CONSTRUCTION ALERT! Pinellas County Subaqueous Force Main Crossing…

WARNING CONSTRUCTION - gif

Please be advised that Pinellas County is beginning construction in the area of Dockway in the public right-of-way.  This project is to bring over a new force main that will service the existing lift stations at this location.  This is just south of Bay & Beach Club Condos and north of the empty lot that is adjacent to The Swim Boutique.  (Yes, the shuffleboard court is being taken up but will be put back at the end of construction.)

Door hanger that will be provided to adjacent property owners to advise them of the project. Please see image below.

A sound barrier wall that stands approximately 13′ will be erected around the construction site to help minimize noise.  The contractors are aware of the Town’s ordinance regarding work hours between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.  It is my understanding from our meeting that they will be petitioning Council at the May meeting to consider a request to start work at 7 a.m. vs. 8 a.m.  Yet, until Council makes a decision with regard to any alternate, the construction start time remains at 8 a.m.

Pinellas County will also be providing me with a press release that I will send out when it is received to the Mayor’s Email Update list; the press release will also be posted on our website.

Chief Hughes requested “No Trespassing” signs be erected on site to aid his troops in enforcing any potential problems that might crop up due to this being an active construction site. 

 As noted on the door hanger, the 24 hour number to call for any problems or questions is 727-464-8864.  This number may be given to any person from the community that has questions, concerns or complaints regarding the project.

The project is scheduled to go through March of 2016 with the biggest anticipated impact to our Town being that of construction vehicles entering and exiting on Gulf Boulevard.
