OCT 24`sa <br />BOOK <br />found the need to construct cross brace timbers and <br />additional connectors to support the entire structure. <br />Since original construction, beach erosion in the area has <br />occurred, and sand support has decreased. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />The alternatives are as follows: <br />Alternative No. 1 <br />Authorize Change Order No. 2 to the original contract <br />in the amount of $1,152. This wouldresult in a total <br />contract price of $10,122. <br />Alternative No. 2 <br />Deny authorization of the Change Order. <br />RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING <br />It is recommended that Change Order No. 2 be approved <br />authorizing an increase in the Contract amount by $1,152. <br />Funding to be from Account 310-143-512-066.51 - Golden Sands <br />Park Account. <br />Commissioner Scurlock had some questions. He referred to <br />the City of Vero Beach spending a significant amount of money on <br />the boardwalk at Conn Beach that subsequently washed out in a <br />storm. He felt that possibly the pilings should go much deeper <br />and stressed the importance of having these designed correctly. <br />He would hope that when we are designing boardwalks along all of <br />our beaches that we spend the time and effort to design them for <br />the worst case scenario. He would have assumed those kind of <br />things would have been incorporated in the original design of the <br />facility and that a medium shift in sand would not necessitate <br />the need for a redesign. <br />Administrator Chandler gathered that the original design had <br />this incorporated, but not as extensively as perhaps we think it <br />should be now. He stressed that this Change Order is not a <br />requirement. It has been suggested we can shore it up addition- <br />ally; so, we looked at it and feel that it is good insurance for <br />the dollars involved. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if there is some question about <br />going ahead and driving pilings deeper as they did at Conn Beach. <br />Public Works Director Davis advised that we have done that <br />at the Tracking Station Park, but at this park we specified an 8' <br />penetration into the dune. Pilings are specified at 8' by the <br />38 <br />
