The City of Port Richey has selected Taylor Engineering to provide professional engineering services during the continued permitting, final design, and construction of its dredging projects. The current project focuses on dredging 12 channels within the Miller’s Bayou area, and 11 channels within the Pithlachascotee River area.

 Taylor Engineering will provide the City with a preliminary opinion of probable cost for the channels in the Miller’s Bayou, Pithlachascotee River, and North Bay Boulevard area. The cost opinions will include all expected engineering, modification of the existing Florida Department of Environmental Protection and U. S. Army Corps of Engineers permits, establishment of a special assessment district (provided by Government Services Group), construction, and final permit certification expenses.

Other members of the Taylor Engineering team will provide important project data. Ardaman & Associates will collect geotechnical data from both the Miller’s Bayou and Pithlachascotee River project areas. Ardaman & Associates will also collect geotechnical data from a proposed upland dredged material management area (DMMA). Scheda Ecological Associates will perform a natural resources survey and report for the DMMA, and Group 3 Surveying and Mapping will perform topographic, boundary, and hydrographic surveying at the DMMA.

Taylor Engineering will use the gathered information to prepare final construction documents for the Miller’s Bayou and Pithlachascotee River dredging project. With the assistance of Government Services Group, Taylor Engineering will help the City establish a special assessment district and ballot for this project. Taylor Engineering will assist the City in selecting a contractor to perform the work, and provide construction administration and contract certification services during the dredging project.
