WA No. 5 provides for the repair of approximately 1,000 ft. of 30" wastewater force mains along 40th Street North west of 110th Avenue North. The Project will replace an existing 30" PVC force main with a new 30" ductile iron force main.  The Project is necessary to provide for infrastructure improvements due to the failure of the previous force main and to provide greater resiliency for the infrastructure in the area. The failure is believed to have occurred due to the presence of a rock layer in the area that the pipe was imbedded in causing stress on the PVC.  The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance (R2002-0064) is 15% overall. The Contract with Johnson-Davis Incorporated provides for SBE participation of 3.28%. Johnson-Davis, Incorporated initially submitted the bid to provide for SBE participation of 15.43% but after the Office of Small Business Assistance review, their SBE participation was reduced to 3.28% due to their two subcontractors not being certified to perform the work as stated on the contract at the time of bidding. One of the subcontractors has now been certified and another subcontractor is in the process of being certified, which will increase Johnson-Davis, Incorporated SBE participation percentage to the initial bid submittal amount of over 15%.  Work Authorization No. 5 includes 16.43% 4.19% overall participation. The cumulative SBE participation, including WA No. 5 is 16.43% 8.28% overall. Johnson-Davis Incorporated is a Palm Beach County company.
