ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by Vice Chairman Flescher, the Board unanimously approved: Option 1: Change the main County contact page from a phone directory list to a page which lists each department's main phone number and a link to "Email this Department" which would open a secure contact form the user would fill out and press submit. That message would be delivered securely to the director's staff assistant or other department representative, as appropriate for routing to the proper staff to handle the topic of the email. The email form would use "Captcha" technology which requires the user to enter a series of numbers to validate a real person is filling out the form. Each department main webpage would also have an "Email this Department" link. The user would still have the option to view the phone directory from a link on the new contact page. F. Public Works 10:15 1. Award of Bid No. 2016019 IRC GoLine Transfer Hub, 16th Street, a.m. Vero Beach (memorandum dated June 30, 2016) 269-282 ------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Public Works Director Richard Szpyrka recalled the Board's approval on April 14, 2015 for design services for a new GoLine Bus Transfer Hub Facility (Transfer Station) at 1235 16`h Street. He stated that the engineer's original cost estimate to build the project has increased, leaving a shortfall of $597,073.56 in the project budget. He provided details and analysis on the following options with regards to construction of the Transfer Station: (1) to fully fund the project as bid and award it to the low bidder, Barth Construction, Inc, with the additional funding provided from Secondary Road Cash Forward; (2) to eliminate the exterior structures (covered walkways and bus shelters); and (3) to reject both of the bids that were received and redesign the project to reduce costs. Staff Director Phil Matson, Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) stated that some Federal grant money has been received, and that staff was also seeking a grant from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Commissioner O'Bryan wanted to avoid delays to the project. He advocated for Option 1, with the deletion of the provision stating, "...a Notice to Proceed is not to be issued until grant funding from the Florida Department of Transportation has been procured..."
