Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution
Explanation:
The State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is currently in the production stage of a project along Hollywood Boulevard from Presidential Circle to N. 35th Avenue, which also consists of mobility improvements on City streets including Park Road, Fillmore Street, Polk Street and Van Buren Street.
Pursuant to Resolution No. R-2018-200, the City approved, on June 20, 2018, to execute the Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement, which combines FDOT road work and the City’s 8-inch water main replacement as a joint project.
During the final design phase of the project, the City together with FDOT desire certain roadway improvements to enhance the pedestrian experience to include, but not limited to adjustment of utility sewer manholes and water valves.
The City is responsible for the adjustment of nine utility sewer manholes and 20 water valves on City streets where FDOT is working.
These utility sewer manholes and water valve adjustments are in the best interest of both the City and FDOT, and it would be practical, expeditious and economical for FDOT’s contractor to perform such activities in conjunction with the FDOT's scheduled City mobility improvements project.
Pursuant to Section 38.40(C)(8) of the City’s Code of Ordinances, the City Commission may, when in the best interest of the City, by a 5/7th vote, waive competitive bidding and competitive proposal requirements for the purchase of, and contracts for, supplies or services.
FDOT requires this understanding between the City and FDOT be formalized through the execution of a second FDOT Utility Work By Highway Contractor Agreement for the project to address adjustment of sewer manholes and water valves.
Funding has been provided pursuant to Resolution No. R-2018-XXX which continued the appropriation for previously approved capital projects from FY 2018 to FY 2019.
Funding is available in account number 42.4000.85889.536.006302 and 42.4000.76671.536.006301.
The estimated construction time for this project is nine months per FDOT schedule.
