Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />Michael C. Zito, Deputy County Administrator <br />Beth Powell, Acting General Services Director <br />From: Wendy Swindell, Conservation Lands Manager <br />Subject: Florida Inland Navigation District Project Agreement Amendment for <br />#IR -21-71 (Environmental Learning Center Dock Replacement) <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On December 7, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners approved and executed a project grant <br />agreement with the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) for the replacement of the dock at <br />the Environmental Learning Center (ELC). This grant provides funding towards the replacement of <br />the 32 -year old dock. The construction work was awarded by the BCC to Indian River Docks, LLC <br />on March 28, 2023, in the amount of $331,456. An additional FIND grant for this project, in the <br />amount of $50,000, is pending approval by FIND. The current FIND grant Agreement is set to <br />expire on September 30, 2023. <br />Though the project is on schedule for completion in August 2023, staff applied for an extension to <br />the FIND Agreement to allow for unanticipated delays (due to the construction occurring during <br />hurricane season). FIND has provided a Project Agreement Amendment to extend the grant <br />completion period through September 30, 2024. <br />FUNDING <br />This is a no -cost amendment and no additional funds are necessary beyond what has been <br />previously approved by the Board of County Commissioners. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff respectfully recommends the Board accept the Project Agreement Amendment for #IR -21-71 <br />Environmental Learning Center Dock Replacement, and authorize the Chairman to execute the <br />Amendment after review and approval by the County Attorney. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />• Project Agreement Amendment for #IR -21-71 Environmental learning Center Dock <br />Replacement <br />APPROVED AGENDA ITEM FOR AUGUST 15.2023 <br />119 <br />
