Amendment #7 was executed on October 17, 2025, which extended the contract time only through November 2, 2025.
Amendment #8 was executed by City Council on October 13, 2025, and added $143,990.00 to the contract and extended the contract term through November 30, 2025.
Amendment #9 extended the contract term only through December 31, 2025.
Amendment #10 extended the contract term only through June 30, 2026.
Amendment #11:
Based on conversations at the 12/3/2025 GAP Documentation Meeting, there was an agreement that the contract time on this project should be extended to June 30, 2026, to accommodate the GAP closeout documents and the TRIP Agreement’s current expiration date.
The City was presented with two (2) funding analyses. Scenario #1 - The Senior Inspector would stay on the project through January 31, 2026; and Scenario #2 - The Senior Inspector would stay on the project through June 30, 2026.
• Scenario #1 would cost $264,230.00.
• Scenario #2 would cost $359,830.00.
Upon review of the remaining construction work required to finalize the project, it has been determined that Scenario #1 will provide sufficient inspection coverage while also allowing for concurrent GAP closeout documents to be processed.
Issues/Analysis: Council has approved all previous Amendments and Amendment #9 & #10 were for time extension which did not require Council approval pursuant to City Code of Ordinances, Section 35.09. Since Amendment #11 requires Council approval pursuant to Section 35.09(b), staff is requesting Council ratify Amendments #9 & #10 and approve Amendment #11. Staff has reviewed the Amendments and find them to be fair and reasonable.
Financial Information: Funds are appropriated in the Road & Bridge Fund / Traffic / Improvements O/T Building / SW PSL Blvd. Reconstruction. (#304-4121-563000-Y1717).
Special Consideration: N/A.
Location of Project: SW Port St. Lucie Blvd. west of Gatlin Blvd.
