The construction of this project is being funded by an appropriation from funds received from the Deep Water Horizon Oil settlement. FDEP is contributing $414,432.00 towards the construction of this project. BACKGROUND: As a result of a settlement related to the Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill, FDEP has allocated funds to assist with stormwater improvement projects. FDEP staff has identified two projects from the Gap Creek Watershed Water Quality Study (performed in 2008) for funding with this agreement. The two projects include improvements to the Tanglewood Stormwater Basins and the Overbrook retention area. Funding provided from FDEP is required to be strictly utilized for project construction. Final plans have been completed by the Northwest Florida Water Management District (WMD) and have been submitted to Public Works. Once all permits are received, staff will advertise the RFB and both projects will be bid together with an anticipated construction duration of 180 days.
