Analysis: <br />The scope of work proposed by Sitecrafters includes the completion of the western portion of the yard <br />waste site so that there is a complete uniformity with the eastern improvements. Specifically, this <br />includes scraping and leveling the work area; proof rolling, importing, spreading and compacting <br />clean/fill dirt (7,800 cubic yards); and setting final grades consistent with previous work. In addition, this <br />scope includes ditch maintenance to include removal of overgrown and non-native vegetation, <br />regrading of banks and installing sod to stabilize the bank slopes, and to provide conveyance channels <br />that are able to be maintained. <br />Sitecrafters has proposed a lump sum total of $158,030 for this additional work, to be billed on a <br />percent complete basis and to be billed on a monthly basis in accordance with the contract agreement. <br />The total project cost upon approval of this change orderwould be $729,810. <br />Staff is recommending that the requirements for bids for the additional work be waived as time is of the <br />essence. Proceeding with this work will minimize delay with the original site work project, as well as to <br />make improvements prior to the rainy season, otherwise we could incur additional cost and time for the <br />overall site improvements. <br />Funding: <br />Funds in the amount of $750,000 for the first year of site improvements are budgeted in the SWDD <br />Landfill Other Improvements Capital account, which is funded from SWDD assessments and user fees. <br />This funding has been specifically allocated for the yard waste improvements and is sufficient to cover <br />the recommended amendment to Sitecrafters. <br />Description <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />Other Improvements - Capital <br />411-164051 <br />$158,030 <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the Board <br />1. Waive requirements for bids for the additional work as Sitecrafters of Florida, Inc. is under an <br />existing contract agreement for yard waste site improvements, and this is an extension of their <br />work. <br />. Approve Amendment No. 2 to Sitecrafters of Florida, Inc., and authorize the Chairman to sign the <br />agreement, after review and approval of the additional public construction bond by the County <br />Attorney as to form and legal sufficiency. <br />Attachments: <br />1.
