Pasco County Master Reuse System – Land O’ Lakes Storage Reservoir

Kimmins began work on this project in February 2007 and will complete the job on time at the end of this year. We were hired to build a 111-Million-Gallon Storage Reservoir for existing Pasco County Wastewater Treatment Facility, as well as re-pipe the existing reclaimed water line and force main. The last portion of the project included installing a new transfer pump station and a high service pump station. As the job entailed several layers and complexions, various members of the Kimmins team took on different aspects of the stages. Buz Molennor, General Superintendent; Jim Weber, Site Superintendent; and Dario Muñoz, Project Manager, oversaw the specialized talents of Dennis Cikovic, Joe Fintak, Willie Bisbee, Ben Sanchez, Ricky Torres and Kraig Luckenbill who worked together and skillfully handled this massive undertaking with a perfect safety and budget record.

Manatee County Public Safety Building

PROJECT INCLUDED
• Clearing and grubbing of the original land
• Excavation of ponds on site
• Installation of fire lines, water lines, storm system, and sanitary system
• Design and placement of concrete sidewalks and curbing
• Base, pavement, striping, signing, and sodding

Kimmins is proud to be a part of the continuing development of the west coast of Florida in helping to bring world-class facilities to our expanding cities. The new $55 million Public Safety and Traffic Management Center off U.S. 301 will greatly improve regional traffic flow throughout Sarasota and Manatee counties. Working for the Florida Department of Transportation, Kimmins executed the first phase of the site plan in July 2006 and deliveredthe project in August 2007. The five person pipe crew was lead by Foreman David Rodriguez and used a Cat 330 excavator, a Cat 950 loader and a Cat 416 excavator. The earthwork team was lead by Foreman Tim Andreasen and consisted of six men also using a Cat 330 Excavator, Cat D-3 dozer, Cat 950 loader, tool can, and four dump trucks with operators.

Citywide Intersection Improvements at MacDill Ave and Azeele St. – Tampa, FL

In an on-going effort to keep up with the pace of South Tampa’s growth, City officials have continued their mission to make the roads and neighborhoods as efficient as possible. To that end, Kimmins was contracted to begin work in the early fall of 2007 to widen the intersection at the corner of MacDill Avenue and Azeele Street in all directions, ultimately creating four new turn lanes. The job included new signalization – accomplished by taking the existing overhead signal lines and relocating them underground. The installation of new storm inlets and concrete pipes, as well as the creation of new curbs and gutters made up the bulk of the work. Additionally, new six-feet sidewalks and driveways for all existing businesses that anchor the corners were placed to create a smart and safe car-and-pedestrian flow pattern. The final piece of the project, to be completed in December 2007, consists of milling and overlaying the existing roadway in both directions. Foreman Todd Lantzy headed the concrete crew and Foreman Ron Cook was in charge of the paving operation.
