Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the Attached Resolution
Explanation:
The City of Hollywood, Florida supports the undergrounding of utility facilities, for reasons of public safety and aesthetics. The Hollywood, Florida, Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") directed staff to proceed with a Streetscape Project of fifteen (15) blocks between A1A, the Broadwalk, Oklahoma Street and New Mexico Street consisting of streetscape and underground utilities conversion (the "Project"). City staff prepared streetscape plans for the Project and these plans were given to FPL to prepare a construction cost estimate together with the necessary agreements for the implantation of the overhead conversion. On September 4, 2013 the CRA Board passed and adopted Resolution No. R-Beach-CRA-2013-38 which authorized the execution of the Underground Facilities Conversion Agreement with FPL for this Project. On January 15, 2014, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2014-005 which authorized the execution of the Right of Way Agreement with FPL for this Project. As part of the overall project, installation of the underground facilities is now required and as the work is being completed in City of Right-of-Way and within certain portions of private properties, FPL requires the City to enter into the attached Applicant Installed Facilities Agreement for Underground Facilities.
