Major revision items include redesign of the headworks structure due to <br />elimination of the perforated plate screen, deletion of an aeration system, and deletion <br />of a biogas removal system. Staff estimates these revisions and deductions will equal <br />approximately $275,985. <br />Note that landscaping is not included in Table 4 due to permitting delays encountered <br />while interfacing with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) regarding the Florida <br />scrub jay. FWS determined the Florida scrub jay may utilize the site for feeding or other <br />purposes and therefore, FWS requires the site be landscaped with scrub jay friendly <br />plants. Staff is preparing this design with the assistance of the County's environmental <br />consultant, G.K. Environmental, Inc. under an existing Work Order. Staff estimates the <br />landscaping and required five-year maintenance and exotic plant control costs to be <br />approximately $160,000. The landscaping work will be performed in a separate <br />contract in coordination with the selected site contractor. Estimated landscaping costs <br />are included in Table 5, below. <br />Construction testing (e.g. density testing, concrete testing, etc.) will be performed by a <br />geotechnical testing firm selected and paid for by the County independently of the <br />construction contracts. The estimated fee for construction testing is $100,000 and it is <br />not included in Table 4 but it is included in Table 5, below. <br />7 <br />F:\Public Works\KeithM\Stormwater Projects\PC South Construction\Agenda Items\Agenda - PC South Recommendation of Bid <br />Award for Construction.doc 183 <br />
