Explanation:
The City of Hollywood has applied for and received funding from the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (“MPO”) for varied Complete Streets and other Localized Initiatives Projects (“CSLIP”), in the seven annual CSLIP Cycles managed by the MPO to date. On November 18, 2018, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2018-362, approving and authorizing the appropriate City Officials to apply for and if awarded accept the MPO CSLIP grant for Johnson Street from North 35th Avenue to North 14th Avenue, the scope included lighting, sharrow bike lanes, railroad pedestrian crossing and some sidewalk infill.
On November 6, 2019, the MPO issued an award letter indicating the project had been included in the Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”) Work Program for Fiscal Year 2025 Construction in the amount of $1,413,007. The project would be delivered as a Local Agency Program (“LAP”) Project with the City of Hollywood funding the design phase.
In November 2018, Broward County voters approved a 30-year sales surtax (also known as “Penny for Transportation”) to fund statutorily-permissible transportation expenditures. The Johnson Streets Complete Streets project was ranked by the MPO and Mobility Advancement Program (“MAP”) oversight board and has been determined statutorily eligible for surtax funding and subsequently approved for funding by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners.
On February 5, 2021, Broward County issued the MAP Municipal Capital Projects grant awards Cycle 1, for projects either in Planning, Design or Construction Phase, including a Johnson Street HOLL-038 Complete Streets-Johnson Street Planning Award of $150,000, from just west of I-95 to Dixie Highway, with a total funding of $5,000,000 for planning, design and construction. In order to complete all project scope covered in both grants while keeping the projects under separate grants, City Staff has requested of MPO and FDOT to remove the Broward MAP project limits from the CSLIP LAP project, thus revising the limits from North 35th Avenue to North 30th Road and North 21st Avenue to North 14th Avenue (leaving the railroad pedestrian crossing in the LAP project), the response to this request is pending.
In anticipation of grant funded capital improvement opportunities, City staff issued a Request for Qualifications for varied engineering disciplines to be selected on a Continuing Services basis for future projects yet to be determined. On September 1, 2021, the City Commission adopted Resolution R-2021-208, ranking engineering firms and approving the execution of Continuing Services Professional Services Agreements, which included Marling Engineering, Inc. under RFQ-4666-21-DCM.
The Department of Design and Construction Management (“DCM”) negotiated with Marlin Engineering, Inc. a project scope and fee in an amount not to exceed $298,942.00. The Director of DCM recommends the City Commission approve and authorize the appropriate City officials to execute the attached Authorization to Proceed with Marlin Engineering for Johnson Street LAP, from North 35th Avenue to North 30th Road and North 21st Avenue to North 14th Avenue, FDOT Project, in an Amount Not to Exceed $298,924.00 relating to survey, design and permitting.
