Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final March 5, 2024 <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />Amendment No 4 to Agreement No LPQ0019 <br />Approved staffs recommendation <br />83. 24-0206 Work Order No. 9 to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., Indian River Boulevard <br />Pedestrian & Bicycle Access Improvements Utility Relocation Project, IRCDUS PID <br />41.21.021 <br />Recommended action: Staff recommends the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approve <br />Work Order No. 9 to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. in the amount of $ <br />149,880.00, to provide engineering, design, permitting, and construction phase <br />services related to utility conflicts for the Indian River Boulevard Pedestrian & Bicycle <br />Access Improvements Utility Relocation Project. So long as there are no changes in <br />the dollar amount under the amount approved, upon adequate completion of the work <br />set forth in the work order, staff is directed to make final payments to Kimley-Horn <br />and Associates, Inc. after review and approval by the Purchasing Manager and the <br />County Attorney's Office. <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />WO No 9 <br />Commissioner Moss inquired about the width of the bicycle lane on the Indian River <br />Boulevard Pedestrian and Bicycle Access Improvements Utility Relocation Project. <br />County Administrator John Titkanich responded that the previously approved width <br />was five feet. However, the seven -foot lane was subject to the availability of <br />right-of-way. Due to conflicts with other utilities in the area, the County could not <br />move forward with the wider width of seven feet. <br />Acting Public Works Director Sean Lieske confirmed that the width of the <br />right-of-way could not accommodate the seven -foot bike lanes, as there were <br />drainage issues and other utility conflicts. He stated future projects, provided they <br />had the right-of-way width to accommodate seven -foot bike lanes, would be <br />evaluated. <br />Discussion ensued between the Commissioners and Mr. Lieske on the intention to <br />assess the feasibility of accommodating seven -foot bike lanes. If it was possible, the <br />County would proceed with implementing them since that was the standard being <br />aimed for. However, there were some limitations that could not be overcome, like <br />canals, limited right-of-way, and utilities. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Earman, seconded by Vice Chairman <br />Flescher, to approve staff's recommendation. The motion carried by the following <br />vote: <br />Indian River County Florida Page 8 <br />
