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 includes mobility improvements on city streets including Park Road, Fillmore Street, Polk Street and Van Buren Street.
The City is responsible for the adjustment of utility sewer manholes and water valves on city streets.
On October 17, 2018, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2018-331 which authorized the execution of a Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement (Number 431770-5-52-03) with FDOT for adjustment of nine sewer manholes and 20 water valves on Park Road, Fillmore Street, Polk Street and Van Buren Street in the lump sum amount of $18,760.00.
Due to design changes, FDOT recently notified the City that five additional sewer manholes and 11 additional water valves require field adjustment.
These utility field 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.
FDOT requires the understanding between the City and FDOT be formalized through the execution of the attached Amendment Number One to the Utility Work By Highway Contractor Agreement (Number 431770-5-52-03) for the project to address adjustment of additional five sewer manholes and 11 water valves.
Pursuant to Section 38.40(C)(8) of the City’s Code of Ordinances, the City Commission may, when in the best interests of the City, by a 5/7th affirmative vote, waive competitive bidding and competitive proposal requirements for the purchase of, and contracts for, supplies or services.
Funding has been provided pursuant to Resolution Number R-2018-311 which continued the appropriation for previously approved capital projects from FY2018 to FY2019.
Funding is available in existing account number 442-409901-53600-563020-000734-000-000.
The estimated construction time for this project is nine months per FDOT schedule.
