The Scope of Services included increasing water/wastewater capacity for expansion and future growth, demolition of two existing water storage facilities, determining location of existing water/wastewater lines and other utilities (telecommunications and natural gas) to extend services, identifying fire protection needs, roadway and parking area improvements, and Landscape and irrigation design.

Notable: The Largest Communities Development Block Grant – Economic Development Grant Award Ever Funded by the State of Florida – $3.2 million dollars for infrastructure improvements

DHM provided FULL GRANT ADMINISTRATION SERVICES for the project., in addition to design and inspection services for the required infrastructure to accommodate the manufacturer coming in, including a 300,000-gallon pedosphere water facility, access and entry road widening and resurfacing, stormwater drainage improvements, water/wastewater/natural gas extensions, landscape and irrigation design, and increased fire protection.

Collaboration: A manufacturer was recruited to the area by the Jackson County and City of Marianna economic development teams and chose to locate in a 270,000sf space formerly owned by the City.

The project consisted of construction of a 6.75-acre stormwater pond, north of Prough Drive, to retrofit what was untreated watershed, making treated stormwater available to irrigate 7.22-acres on the Chipola College campus. This project will reduce groundwater use for irrigation, improving water quality of discharge downstream into the Chipola River, and reduce flooding to the campus and to River Forest Road. In addition, this project brings aesthetic beauty to the campus, for its staff, students, and community members.

The DHM team was responsible for planning, civil design, permitting, grant funding and administration, project management, and construction engineering inspection.

The project included earthwork, installation of a bentonite clay pond liner, irrigation system with irrigation pump system, drainage culverts, concrete ditch paving and structures, sod and landscaping.

Collaboration: The DHM team coordinated efforts with the City of Marianna, Chipola College, Northwest Florida Water Management District, FEMA, and all other stakeholders and contractors to achieve successful project completion.

Construction Cost: $1.4 Million
