River Ridge awards $1.11M drainage contract to Clark Construction
Summary
The Board approved Clark Construction Group, Inc. for a four‑phase stormwater improvement project across River Ridge neighborhoods in a not‑to‑exceed amount of $1,111,860, including additional contingency to cover unknown costs and unit‑price items such as tree removal and replanting.
The River Ridge Community Development District Board on April 28 approved a not‑to‑exceed contract of $1,111,860 with Clark Construction Group, Inc. for four stormwater management phases covering Oak Run, Turnberry, Palmetto Dunes and Seaside IV.
District staff presented a Summary of Drainage Improvement Bids and said an additional 5% contingency was added "in addition to the 15% already added into the contractor’s bid," which "increases the Grand Total from $1,058,914.45 to $1,111,860." District Engineer Charlie Krebs highlighted unit costs that could consume contingency funds, such as raising 30–40 sprinkler heads and tree removal and replanting work; staff said the contractor will provide a tally against invoices for verification.
Board members discussed including Oak Run HOA's optional connection cost of $197,201.47 in the bid spreadsheet and confirmed the HOA would need its own contract if it chooses to proceed. The motion to award Clark Construction the contract passed on a motion by Mr. Blumenthal and seconded by Mr. Mountford, with all in favor.
The Board directed staff and the district engineer to monitor unit‑price charges during construction, verify quantities against invoiced work, and report back on any significant draws against contingency. Permit approvals for related work were reported as in process; SFWMD approval is pending.
