Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council ratify Amendment #1 and approve Amendment #2 to Contract #20230113 for the Tom Mackie Blvd. Extension Project Phase 4 with Dickerson Infrastructure, Inc. d/b/a Dickerson Florida, Inc.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and ratify Amendment #1 and approve Amendment #2 to Contract #20230113.
2. Move that the Council not ratify Amendment #1 nor approve Amendment #2 to Contract #20230113 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 Grove 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 Agreements.
Amendment #2: This Amendment is for additional pay items to provide for buried conduit for future FPL power to the project corridor, 6-inch-thick sidewalks, driveways and PVC coated metal for the above ground conduit at the lift station. This additional work totals $268,059.91. This additional work requires additional calendar days for a new end date of March 8, 2026.
Amendment #1: This Amendment provided for the Contractor’s change orders #1 - #3 that was not included in the original contract. Change Order #1 provided for excavation, embankment and construction layout & record drawings. Change Order #2 provided for lift station fitting upgrades. Change Order #3 provided for a water deflection and utility PVC 8-inch pipe for gravity sewer. This additional work totaled $102,858.80. This additional work required additional calendar days for a new end date of January 14, 2026.
Issues/Analysis: City Council approval is needed for Amendment #2 pursuant to City Code of Ordinances, Sections 35.09(b) and 35.09(c), because the cumulative total added to the Contract since Council approved the Contract has increased over the stated threshold. Since Amendment #1 was under City Council threshold pursuant to City Code of Ordinances, Section 35.09(b), and its predecessor ordinance, staff is requesting City Council ratify Amendment #1 and approved Amendment #2 for the cumulative impact of the amendments. Staff has reviewed the Amendments and find them to be fair and reasonable.
Financial Information: Funds are appropriated in the CIP General Fund / General Government / Improvement O/T Building (#301-1900-563000-00000).
Special Consideration: This project is partially funded by a DEO Grant and ARPA Funding with the remaining funds being provided by development land sales.
Location of Project: Southern Grove.
