Rtblic 1%'orks Director SUBJECT: Status Report 1) Gifford Street Light Project 2) R.D. Carter Road Paving Project 3. Traffic Signal Installation - 8th Street and 28th Avenue REFERENCES: The status of the above subject projects are as follows: 1) Gifford Street Lighting Project: The City of Vero Beach is 90o complete with street light installation as per conversation witR ruzzy Cox, City of Vero Beach Electrical Engineering Manager on March 5, 1982. The City is primarily responsible for the Southern and Eastern portion of the Street Light District. Mr. Herman Firsh, Florida Power and Light Co., via telephone conversation on March 8, 1982 stated that Florida Power & Light has not begun instal- lation yet, however, by March 10, 1982, he should have a fira schedule. It is anticipated that all lights in the City's service area will be installed by March 11; 1982 (approx. 184 lights). There are complaints received that lights are not in a desirable location or not bright enough. To relocate a light would cost about 5300. if a - pole were required.. 2) R. D. Carter Rd. A survey was ordered in October 1981 from Surveying Consultants, Paul Ro-sskamp, Registered Land -Surveyor, as approved by the Roard'bf County Commissioners in Sept. 1981. Most of the survey work is complete and the Public Works Department has received a -preliminary drawin . The individual lot lines are being researched. Unfortunately, the surveyor Paul Rosskamp, has had a number of heart attacks and has been in tho hospital for a number of weeks. This has delayed the project. Also, the Indian River Farms Drainage District has informed the Count` that a Bridge is required across the 35th avenue canal where a culvert now exists. This shall require the staff requesting additional funds bevond the $50,000 appropriated for this 1 mile length of road. If the completed survey is not delivered by March 31, 1932, I recommend having another local surveyor complete the survey. The County has not paid for any survey work to date. 3) Traffic.Signal Installation - 8th St. and 27th Avenue: The poles for the flashing beacon will be installed Nlonda)• morning, March 8, 1982. The County has received permission from Florida Potter and Light for electrical service. This installation should be complete during the month of March.
