This project’s drainage component proposes to increase capacity of culverts and swales along CR12 and NW Michaux Rd to decrease flooding in the southern portions of the City’s downtown core. The sewer improvements component will replace grinder pumps in three areas hard hit by the Hurricane Sally and Hurricane Michael events with gravity sewers. These sewer improvements will be made in the NW Hall Circle, NW Miller Road, and NW Schmarje Ln. neighborhoods.

A few locations exist where there will be impacts to areas mapped as Flood Zone A by FEMA and as wetlands by the National Wetlands Inventory. The floodplain impacts occur near the NW Hall Circle area and the NW Schmarje Ln area. At NW Hall Circle the potential impact area is approximately 0.25 acres. At NW Schmarje Ln, the impact area is approximately 0.24 acres. In both areas, upon completion of the sewer installations all natural grades will be restored, and surface areas not repaved will be stabilized or sodded. There are proposed project work sites very near areas mapped by the National Wetlands Inventory as wetlands. Unless field work identifies further areas as jurisdictional wetlands, these areas will likely be avoided, and the permitted project should have an impact of 0.0 acres of wetland.

The City of Bristol has considered the following alternatives and mitigation measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values:

The project’s engineer will take all necessary precautions to serve the target homesites without impacting wetland areas unless no tenable alternatives exist. In that case appropriate permitting through the responsible state and federal permitting agencies will be conducted. It is anticipated that the proposed drainage component will actually relieve local flooding; directing floodwaters away from homesites and other fixed personal property toward drainage facilities that have the additional capacity. The sewer work that might affect any wetland or flood-prone area will be restored to natural grades and stabilized leaving no negative impacts to floodways or flood storage.

The City of Bristol has reevaluated the alternatives to the proposed works in the floodplain/ wetland and has determined that it has no practicable alternative due to the scope of the project. The no action alternative is impractical as the need for these proposed improvements has been exacerbated and documented by damage received during recent hurricane events.

There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in the floodplain and wetlands and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplain and wetland issues can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in a floodplain or wetland, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.

Written comments must be received by James Kersey, Mayor,at 12444 NW Virginia G Weaver St, PO Box 207, Bristol, FL 32321, (850) 643-2261 on or before end of business on March 16, 2023.

Eligible persons must be a US Citizen, must own real property inside the municipal limits of Bristol, must reside within the Bristol city limits and shall have been a resident of the City of Bristol for at least 6 months.

The City of Bristol plans to apply to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) for a FFY 2021-2022 Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) in the Neighborhood Revitalization category for grant funding in the amount of $650,000. The activities, dollar amounts and estimated percentage benefit to low- and moderate-income persons are as follows: 

The City of Bristol’s proposed CDBG project will replace aging waterlines and the installation of new water meters in the Neal Subdivision which includes 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Streets, as well as NW First Avenue and 2nd Avenue. The project also includes installation of fire hydrants along these streets and replacement of an aging water tank that supports water supply to Neal Subdivision residents. The proposed project also includes an unaddressed need of waterline replacements and hydrant installations along Clay Street. Unaddressed need means that there is not currently funding to support the project and while it is not budgeted as part of the grant request, should the CDBG program have additional funding to support the project then it has been identified as an unaddressed need and provides demonstrated LMI benefit to residents in this area.

The City of Bristol does not expect that anyone will be displaced because of CDBG-funded activities. If any persons are displaced because of the planned activities, the City will assist them as described in the City’s anti-displacement and relocation policy, which is available for review at 12444 NW Virginia G. Weaver Street, Bristol, FL 32321.

DESIGN-BUILD FIRM FOR BRISTOL FIRE STATION EXPANSION PROJECT 

This Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) from City of Bristol (the “Owner”) invites the submittal of a Statement of Qualifications (“SOQ”) from firms interested in providing Design-Build services for the Expansion of the Bristol Fire House (Project) described below. By submitting a Statement of Qualifications (“SOQ”), the Proposer represents that it has carefully read the terms and conditions of this RFQ, and all attachments and addenda, and agrees to be bound by them. Proposers shall submit the SOQ to Robin M. Hatcher at Bristol City Hall, P.O. Box 207, 12444 NW Virginia G. Weaver St., Bristol, FL 32321, before 4:30 p.m. ET, Tuesday, July 5, 2022.

PURPOSE

The City of Bristol (“City”) is seeking a qualified firm (“Firm”) to provide services for Building Design, Construction Administration and Construction of the Expansion of a Fire Station, as outlined herein.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The existing City Hall / Fire Station building that houses the city clerk office, city files, fire department, and City Commission meeting room was constructed in the early 1990’s and not been renovated since its construction. 

A concept was developed by MLD Architects (Available by request) for constructing an addition to the Fire Station portion of the facility to accommodate the evolving  needs  of  the  Fire  Department.  The above noted concept revolves around the ability to allow the existing City Hall portion to remain undisturbed and in use during construction of the new addition. The purpose of this project would be to enlarge the existing fire station and install emergency generator for emergency and disaster recovery situations. The additional space will enhance training capabilities, fire station functionality and foster community relations. A fire station this size would also be capable of hosting emergency personnel from other areas that may come in and assist the City or County during disaster recovery situations. 

Toward the goal of constructing the new addition, the City of Bristol has already acquired a state legislative appropriation which should cover nearly 65% of the cost of the addition.  The City has been awarded funding through a USDA Rural Housing Service/Community Facilities (RHS-CF) Grant to cover the additional costs of completing this project.  The selected Firm will be required to comply with all relevant Federal requirements.

As stated above, the existing City Hall / Fire Station Building is  inadequate to serve the  needs of the residents of Bristol, Florida moving forward.

OBJECTIVES The City proposes to retain a highly qualified firm to plan, design and construct the Project for a fixed price. The Firm must have a commitment to designing a facility that functionally meets expected growth in the area while adhering to local architecture and history. Therefore, the successful Firm will be familiar with local design themes and development processes.

5. Demonstrated Firm experience navigating local permitting processes.

6.

7. Other work commitments of the project architect and other specified key personnel during the project period.

8. Demonstrated knowledge of City design standards.

9. The extent of work on this project that will be done by consultants or subcontractors. Provide the name, location, discipline, and training of each consultant.

10. Provide a list of client references for related local government work done in the past ten (10) years. Include the name, address, telephone number, and contact person most involved with the project and person with your firm that participated in the design and construction of that project.

11. Historical data on all government projects completed over the past ten (10) years showing schedule performance and change order history. Include original budget, pre-bid estimate, and final cost. Include experience in delivering publicly funded projects on time and on budget.

12. Documented evidence of professional, general liability, and errors of omissions policies and coverages.

13. Document any history of litigation associated with project performance and/or professional liability. Litigation includes pre-suit dispute resolution and all matters settled out-of-court.

14. Limit the submission of the RFQ to 20 pages or less. You may print on both sides.

16. RFQs shall be marked with “Fire House Expansion Project”, sealed, and may be delivered to Bristol City Hall, 12444 NW Virginia G. Weaver St., Bristol, FL  32321 or mailed to: Robin M. Hatcher at Bristol City Hall, P.O.

 The City of Bristol’s CDBG project proposes critical improvements to the sewer system along Miller Road, specifically in the northeast quadrant. The project includes rehabilitating the existing lift station, replacing the aging low-pressure forcemain and appurtenances with a gravity sewer system, and reconnecting households to the new infrastructure. The City’s wastewater infrastructure has faced significant challenges during hurricanes and other severe weather events, including power outages at lift stations and flooding that overwhelms the low-pressure forcemain. These conditions have historically caused system backups, service disruptions and increased maintenance demands. Transitioning to a gravity sewer system will reduce reliance on pumps, mitigate risks associated with storm-related power loss, and enhance resilience against future extreme weather events. By addressing these vulnerabilities, the City seeks to protect public health and ensure uninterrupted service for its residents.

The City of Bristol does not expect that anyone will be displaced because of the CDBG-funded activities proposed above. If any persons are displaced because of the planned activities, the City of Bristol will assist them as described in the City’s anti-displacement and relocation policy, which is available for review at Bristol City Hall located at 12444 NW Virginia G Weaver Street, Bristol, FL.

El proyecto CDBG de la Ciudad de Bristol propone mejoras críticas al sistema de alcantarillado a lo largo de Miller Road, específicamente en el cuadrante noreste. El proyecto incluye la rehabilitación de la estación de bombeo existente, el reemplazo de la antigua línea de impulsión de baja presión y sus accesorios con un sistema de alcantarillado por gravedad, y la reconexión de los hogares a la nueva infraestructura. La infraestructura de aguas residuales de la Ciudad ha enfrentado desafíos significativos durante huracanes y otros eventos climáticos severos, incluyendo cortes de energía en las estaciones de bombeo e inundaciones que sobrecargan la línea de impulsión de baja presión. Estas condiciones han causado históricamente obstrucciones en el sistema, interrupciones del servicio y mayores demandas de mantenimiento. La transición a un sistema de alcantarillado por gravedad reducirá la dependencia de bombas, mitigará los riesgos asociados con la pérdida de energía durante tormentas y mejorará la resiliencia ante futuros eventos climáticos extremos. Al abordar estas vulnerabilidades, la Ciudad busca proteger la salud pública y garantizar un servicio ininterrumpido para sus residentes.

La Ciudad de Bristol no espera que ninguna persona sea desplazada como resultado de las actividades financiadas por CDBG mencionadas anteriormente. Si alguna persona es desplazada debido a las actividades planificadas, la Ciudad de Bristol les brindará asistencia según lo establecido en la política de reubicación y prevención del desplazamiento de la Ciudad, la cual está disponible para su revisión en el Ayuntamiento de Bristol, ubicado en 12444 NW Virginia G Weaver Street, Bristol, FL.
