BOUNDARY CANAL BAFFLE BOX RETROFIT

The contract is for the retrofit of a baffle box located on the south side of Port Malabar Boulevard, where the Boundary Canal discharges into Turkey Creek. The project involves modifying the baffles within the box, installing turbulence deflectors and a trash screen, and replacing the top slab with an observation window. The contract was awarded to Johnson-Davis Inc for a total of $51,400.00. Some key points about this contract include: • The baffle box is located at the point where the Boundary Canal discharges into Turkey Creek and at the head of the multi-use Boundary Canal Trail. • The project involves retrofitting the existing baffle box by modifying the baffles within the box up to the elevation of the outfall pipe invert elevation. • Turbulence deflectors and a trash screen will be installed to reduce the turbulent flow action within the baffle box that is causing the re-suspension of sediment. • A skimmer and oil boom will also be installed. • The top slab of the baffle box is to be replaced with an observation window that will allow viewing and inspection of internal components. • All disturbed areas shall be restored.
