Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council ratify Amendments #2 through #4 and approve Amendment #5 to Contract #20230077 for the Construction of Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Blvd. Phase 3 Extension with J.W Cheatham, LLC.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and ratify Amendments #2 through #4 and approve Amendment #5 to Contract #20230077.
2. Move that the Council not ratify Amendments #2 through #4 and approve Amendment #5 to Contract #20230077 and provide staff with direction.
Background: The City Council identified the development of the Southern Grove Master Plan to meet the goals of a diverse local economy and employment opportunities with the initiative of building out Southern Grove, as a strategic priority. In February 2021, the City Council adopted the Southern Gove Master Plan, as prepared by the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, which included findings and recommendations pertaining to infrastructure development needs. Most parcels that have access to readily available infrastructure services have been sold or are currently under Purchase and Sale.
Amendment #2 provided adjusted quantities due to quantity changes and material cost increases due to plan revisions.
Amendment #3 provided time extensions for unforeseen weather and holidays.
Amendment #4 provided time extensions for lift station procurement and lake excavation.
Amendment #5 is for modifications required due to the realignment of Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Blvd. extension. It is also needed to facilitate the sale to Costco Warehouse Distribution (Project Everest) and includes providing mainline connection to the irrigation system installed on Hegner Drive, east of Sansone Blvd. The amendment also includes installation of conduit to provide electrical power to the lift station.
Issues/Analysis: Council approved the original Contract on October 9, 2023 and Amendment #1 to the Contract on March 25, 2024. Amendments #2 through #4 were below the Council threshold, per City Code of Ordinances, Section 35.09(b), and therefore, have not been previously approved by Council. However, the increased cost in Amendment #5 requires Council approval. Therefore, staff is requesting Council to ratify the previously entered Amendments #2 through #4, and approve Amendment #5. Staff has reviewed the proposal and find it to be fair and reasonable.
Financial Information: Funds are appropriated in the CIP Fund / General Government / Improvements O/T Building (#301-1900-563000-00000).
Special Consideration: N/A.
Location of Project: Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Blvd., Southern Grove.
