Explanation:
The Hollywood Beach Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") Plan identifies the need to eliminate slum and blight by improving circulation for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists, and to underground the overhead utility lines. The Plan includes the conversion of overhead utility lines to underground within the public right of way of the Beach District.
The CRA Board directed staff to proceed with Streetscape Improvements and Undergrounding from Hollywood Boulevard to the southern City limits, which includes the east west streets from Harrison Street to Magnolia Terrace, Surf Road, the street ends and harmonization to private properties from State Road A1A to the west right of way line of the Broadwalk, and State Road A1A from Hollywood Boulevard to the southern City limits.
On June 3, 2020, the CRA Board passed and adopted Resolution No. R-BCRA-2020-20, which authorized Kimley-Horn and Associates to provide consulting services for the design of Phase IV for both the E/W Streets and State Road A1A from Hollywood Boulevard to the southern City limits.
On May 5, 2022, the CRA through the City submitted a letter of interest to the Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”) to enter into a Joint Partnership Agreement (“JPA”) to combine the CRA’s State Road A1A project scope with the proposed FDOT Resurfacing, Restoration and Rehabilitation (“RRR”) Project and on July 25, 2022, FDOT responded to the letter of interest accepting the request to enter a JPA.
On July 25, 2022, FDOT responded to the letter of interest accepting the request to enter into a JPA for scope that includes milling and resurfacing, upgrades to the existing pedestrian curb ramps, pavement markings and stripping, drainage component, update signalization at existing crossings, lighting upgrades at intersections and signage.
On July 3rd, 2024, the CRA passed and adopted Resolution No. R-BCRA-2024-30, authorizing the appropriate CRA officials to execute an amendment with Burkhardt Construction Inc. for Phase II construction services of Phase IV- Undergrounding of overhead utilities and streetscape beautification and SR A1A from Hollywood Boulevard to the Southern City limits and the FDOT RRR at SR A1A from Monroe Street to Seacrest Parkway.
It is anticipated that the City Commission will review a project funding agreement in September 2024, which will authorize the appropriate City officials to execute a project funding agreement with the FDOT for RRR improvements along State Road A1A between Monroe Street and Seacrest Parkway. This agreement requires the CRA hire a Construction Engineering Inspection (“CEI”) company, approved by FDOT, to provide construction administration oversight during the project construction.
Calvin Giordano and Associates, Inc. (“CGA”) provided a proposal for CEI services for work associated with the FDOT RRR scope of work, however the fees are predicated upon final acceptance of the RRR Project funding Agreement.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this expenditure is available in the Beach CRA FY 2025 account number 163.639901.552.563010.001236.000.000 - Construction Improvement - Underground Ph 4 (A1A South).
