Staff feels that Kimley-Horn Associates can best perform the proposed work because the survey data and drawings they are preparing for the other project overlaps with the limits of the County's proposed project. Also, timing is critical because the FDOT is scheduled to resurface A1A from Castaway Cove to St. Lucie County in the fall. Under normal procedures the project would be subject to CCNA procedures; however, if the County is to take advantage of these unforeseen combination of circumstances outlined above it must act immediately. The staff, therefore, recommends that the Board determine that an emergency exists as contemplated under Section 287.055(3)F.S.. Further it should be noted that Kimley-Horn has been found, in the past., under CCNA procedures to be a qualified professional firm. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The alternatives are as follows: Alternative No. 1 Approve the attached Agreement between Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc. and Indian River County in the amount of $31,672. Alternative No. 2 Issue a request for proposal and select a firm to perform the services in accordance with CCNA. This alternative will delay project implementation and will, in all likely hood, result in a higher cost. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING It is recommended that Alternative No. 1 be accepted, whereby the attached Agreement is approved. Funding is from Account 101-152- 541-067.37.
