!7,20123 CONSENTBCC Meeting March <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />AGENDA ITEM <br />Department of General Services / <br />Parks & Recreation <br />Date: February 24, 2023 <br />To: The Honorable Board of County Commissioners <br />Through: Michael C. Zito, Interim County Administrator <br />Beth Powell, Director Parks and Recreation/Acting General Services Director <br />From: Wendy Swindell, Conservation Lands Manager <br />Subject: Jones' Pier Conservation Area — Modification of Existing Purchase Order to <br />Accommodate Unforeseen Work Associated with the Elevation of the Historic <br />Bungalow. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On November 8, 2022, the Board approved the Gordian proposal (Gordian Work Order #10749.00) <br />in the amount of $460,629.70 to raise and shore up the existing Jones Pier historic bungalow. The <br />County subsequently issued PO #95258 for this work. Work was initiated in January 2023, and the <br />house has been partially elevated. Work is underway to construct the concrete piers and other <br />elements of the house elevation project. <br />Once the house was elevated, the contractor began the work beneath the house in preparation for <br />installation of the concrete piers. One of the main tasks is to remove any materials on, and below, <br />the soil surface that would impede the construction of the piers. The approved Gordian Work Order <br />#10749.00 included removal of materials within two feet of the ground surface as part of their <br />scope. Unfortunately, the original construction of the house, as well as subsequent additions, <br />included a significant amount of concrete work well below the two -foot threshold required for <br />successful installation of the piers. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />The removal of the additional concrete below the bungalow will require the following additional <br />work: (1) extended rental of a skid steer to move the concrete that is excavated; (2) two extra <br />dumpsters to accommodate the extra tonnage of concrete; and (3) demolition of the extra concrete. <br />Gordian has provided a Work Order Modification (#10749.01), which itemizes all of the additional <br />costs associated with this work, in the amount of $7,436.93. This house elevation project has a very <br />short time schedule to allow for the County to request reimbursement from FEMA for the Hazard <br />Mitigation Grant for this project (FEMA Grant: DR -4283 Hurricane Matthew — 4283-91-R). <br />FUNDING: <br />C:\Granicus\Legistar5US\Temp\d87a5bec-3997-40b9-91d8-a7edc55a8e16.doc <br />88 <br />
