Introduction City of Jacksonville (CoJ) intends to issue a Contract for the manufacture and installation of a flood proof hatch at the Shoreline Drive Pump Station.
The purpose of this flood proof hatch is to prevent the entry of outside water into the sewage pumping system.
- Hatch must be made of Stainless Steel in order to prevent corrosion. Diagram 1 depicts the measurements of the opening of the pump station.
- Hatch must be attached to an insert that fits snugly inside, is bolted to the concrete structure housing the pump station and sealed from any possible exterior intrusion.
- Due to the pump station’s proximity to the nearby waterway, installation must ensure that the pump station remains sealed against all elements, to include flood waters that exceed three (3) feet above its surface.
- Must have hardware for assisted opening and the ability to prop open to access pump station for maintenance.
- Hatch can be mounted in a manner where it is flush with the terrain in which it is installed or may have no more than a six inch rise from the terrain.
- Final product must include PE sealed engineering calculations and drawings.
It is the Bidder’s responsibility to verify measurements prior to manufacture. Bidders are welcome to contact the City to arrange for a site visit to perform measurements prior to submitting a bid. Contacts for arranging a site visit are:
