Infrastructure Improvements

The primary function of the Engineering Division is to implement the City's Capital Improvement Projects. A staff of licensed engineers, designers, and technical assistants provides technical support to all departments of the City. This includes the design and bid document preparation, permitting, inspection, and construction management for water and sewer projects, drainage projects, roads and traffic projects, and other infrastructure projects. Engineering is also responsible for reviewing infrastructure site plans as part of the City's development review process. 

Engineering also oversees contracting for services from consultants for specialized designs, planning functions, and miscellaneous studies. Direct services to the general public include providing utility atlas maps, right-of-way and easement information, drainage inquiries, and construction progress information. 

Are drinking water, reclaimed water, or sanitary sewer services available to my property? If so, where are they located?

The Engineering Section maintains current utility atlases for all Dunedin public utilities. These atlases give the general location, size and type of each utility available to a property. In the case of sanitary sewers, we can identify the approximate location of your sewer lateral as measured from the nearest downstream manhole. To determine utility availability, contact (727) 298-3178 or visit our office.

Easements provide a corridor across private property for ingress/egress, public or private utilities, stormwater conveyance, conservation or other public purposes as specified in the easement declaration. Easements are typically required at time of platting and/or site plan review. Easements are typically, but not always, along property lines. Due to their importance, property owners are restricted from using these easements for certain purposes. To find out whether or not an easement exists across your property, check your property survey, contact (727) 298-3178 or stop by our office.

We apologize for any inconveniences that occur from construction activity necessitated by the repair, maintenance or expansion of public infrastructure in the City of Dunedin. However, not all construction activity in Dunedin is attributable to the actions of the City workforce. Some construction may be Federal, State or County projects. Other construction may be private sector activity. Whatever the case, we usually have design drawings and permit information on file for projects in our community. You are welcome to visit our office to review these documents and obtain answers to your questions. If we have no information on file, or cannot answer your questions directly, we will make every effort to ascertain the purpose and schedule for the work and provide you with a contact person from that agency for future reference. If we can help in that regard, contact (727) 298-3178. For current project information, visit the Engineering page.

Project

Pavement Management Program

About the Project

The City of Dunedin has an ongoing pavement management program that seeks to preserve and repair its streets. Projects range from minor rejuvenation, to major reconstruction depending on the condition of street.

Known as Milling and Paving, it is the process of removing the existing asphalt with a milling machine that grinds off the asphalt. Then a new layer of asphalt is put down.

The Pavement program utilizes annual funding approved by the City Commission.

Dates / Times

The scheduling of streets is typically not known until several days before a start date and that can change with delays. The contractor Gator Grading & Paving is required to place a door hanger indicating the start of milling 48 hours prior to start. Any questions on the schedule and details of the work call Mike Blanton at (727) 298-3177.

Typically, work will be completed Monday - Friday, 7:00 am- 5:00 pm unless otherwise notified, and unless there is an emergency.

Project

Annual Sanitary Sewer CIPP Lining Project

About the Project

The City of Dunedin owns and operates its wastewater collection system within the City limits and areas of unincorporated Pinellas County. In an effort to protect and preserve the City’s sewer collection system, prevent sanitary sewer overflows, and protect the natural environment, the Wastewater Division has enacted an annual sewer lining program using Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining technology, which will extend the useful life of the sewer collection system.

Location

Based upon operational assessments, the City has identified the Lift Station #32 Basin in the Greenbriar Subdivision for lining. The subdivision’s sewer work area has been divided into two parts. Work in the Greenbriar Subdivision will occur in the neighborhood area south of Greenbriar Boulevard this year (FY22).

Dates / Times

• Phase 1, consisting of sewer main inspections and cleaning, will begin on February 21, 2022.
• The project’s expected completion date is December 31, 2022.
• (weather permitting)
• Normal construction hours: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, Monday - Friday

Residents Should Know

The sanitary sewer system in the Greenbriar Subdivision is predominantly located in the rear easements of the neighborhood residences. Work crews will need access to the easements in which the affected sanitary sewer utilities are placed. Contractor work crews will place door hangers during each phase of work 48 hours prior to the work starting. Specific needs for area utilities will be addressed by the contractor and affected residents.

Please anticipate 3 phases of work to be done in your neighborhood.

• Phase 1: There will be crews performing inspections & cleaning of the sewer main.
• Phase 2: There will be crews rehabilitating the sewer main and service connections.
• Phase 3: There will be crews performing final inspections as well as smoke testing the sewer system.
  This work will be performed by accessing sewer manholes, no excavation is required.

Project

Santa Barbara Brick Street Improvements

About the Project

The City of Dunedin is undertaking the restoration of a portion of Santa Barbara Drive, a brick street, between San Salvador Drive, south to the dead end, approximately 725 feet. The street condition has degraded with areas of settlement and separation of brick, resulting in an uneven street surface. The existing gutters will be replaced as settling and cracking has impeded the flow to the receiving inlets to the north and south. The primary cause of the settling of the bricks was determined through geotechnical testing which identified poor underlying soils. The plan is to first replace the gutters on both sides of the street. This will require replacement of sections of driveway aprons. The existing bricks are to be temporarily removed and approximately two (2) feet of underlying soils removed and replaced with suitable material followed by resetting of the brick. It’s expected that there will be a loss of existing brick due to existing damage and removal. Replacement brick will be purchased. The replacement brick will be matched to the existing brick as closely as possible in size and color.

Construction is expected to begin in April and may take up to 130 days to complete. Access to homes, emergency vehicles, trash collection and deliveries will be maintained throughout the project. There will be traffic safety measures taken throughout.

Location

Santa Barbara Drive, south of San Salvador Drive.

Dates / Times

The project was awarded to Evolution Contracting, LLC. on February 21, 2023. The contractor will provide a schedule to the residents and maintain continuous communication with updates on construction activities. Any questions on the schedule and details of the work should be directed to Mike Blanton.

Typically, work will be conducted between Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm unless otherwise notified, and unless there is an emergency.
