• <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />THROUGH: Richard B. Szpyrka P.E., Public Works Director <br />FROM: W. Keith McCully,,P.E., Stormwater Engineer <br />SUBJECT: Approval of Four -Month Extension to SJRWMD Cost -Share Grant for Osprey Acres <br />Floway and Nature Preserve <br />DATE: November 15, 2018 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />On August 29, 2016, the County and St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) entered into a <br />$1,200,250 Cost -Share Grant Agreement for Osprey Acres Floway and Nature Preserve construction <br />(Contract #28730). Construction progress has fallen behind schedule. A six-month grant extension <br />(Amendment #1) extended the Agreement to December 27, 2018. However, a second extension is now <br />necessary and it will extend the Agreement for four more months to April 30, 2019. SJRWMD agrees with <br />the extension and has prepared attached Amendment #2 to the Agreement. Neither the grant amount nor <br />any other grant terms are affected by the Amendment. In its latest construction completion schedule, West <br />Construction lists an estimated construction completion date of February 11, 2019. Staff believes a more <br />realistic construction completion date is mid-March 2019. <br />FUNDING <br />The construction contract is $7,436,921.35. An FDEP grant and the aforementioned SJRWMD grant will <br />fund up to $3,634,536, or 48.9 percent of the project cost. The remainder of the project is funded and <br />budgeted in Optional Sales Tax/Public Works / Osprey Acres Stormwater Park. Account No. 31524338- <br />066510-16022. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the County Commission approve the attached Amendment#2 to the SJRWMD Cost - <br />Share Agreement and authorize the Chairman to execute it on behalf of the County. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />SJRWMD Cost -Share Agreement Amendment #2 (Contract #28730) <br />DISTRIBUTION <br />William K.
