Fire Station #2 Hardening - CDBG Project

Project Description and Information
The City of Winter Haven has secured Infrastructure Hardening funds through a Florida Commerce grant
agreement. This funding will be used to construct improvements to Winter Haven Fire Station #2 in
order to increase weather resiliency to the fire station and provide a safer and more consistent service
to the community. A full task list is described below. These types of projects allow for the improvements
to critical infrastructure that benefit from the improvements, identified by Florida Commerce. This
facility has completed its required Environmental Review for this project.
Project Location
The project location incorporating hardening improvements is 4700 Lucerne Park Road, located on the
north side of Lucerne Park Rd across from Lake Fannie. While there are specific design plans for this
project, they may not preclude additional work to tie-in the project with adjacent or nearby
public/private parcels or rights of way. Any additional work not included in the plans may be contingent
on acceptance of change order agreements.
Due to grant deadlines, the project must achieve completion 120 days from the issuance of the notice to
proceed and will have liquidated damages of $5,000 per day that may go into effect after that date. The
project must then have all punch list items completed within 30 days after substantial completion has
been achieved. The project must demonstrate successful fulfillment of all work during an inspection by
City staff to be considered complete.
