15-048 Naples Beach Stormwater Outfalls RFQ

The City would like to determine the feasibility of siting a stormwater pump station in a location that would receive all or a portion of the stormwater within the Drainage Basin II and discharge collected stormwater through a pipe offshore, deep within the Gulf and away from the public swim area.  A pump station is expected to improve the level of stormwater service within the drainage basin.  Currently, flooding is common during high tides and heavy rain events. The stormwater system currently discharges directly to the shoreline of the beach and is tidally influenced; therefore high tides and heavy rain events cause flooding on the local roads.  Additionally, the City is requesting the preparation of a Technical Report or Memorandum for a modified stormwater discharge system (with or without a pump station) that would consolidate the piped outfall system, potentially improve water quality beyond the measures currently employed by the City, and discharge through a deep ocean release.
