Consent Item located along CR -510. There is no need to extend the reuse all the way from CR -510 to CR -512 as there are no reuse customers along this proposed route. Therefore, the elimination of this utility extension will not inadvertently affect any existing customers. For continuation of the design phase into the construction phase of the Utilities Relocation, IRCDUS proposes to enter into subsequent Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreements (UWHCA) with FDOT. FDOT has provided the attached UWHCA for construction of CR-510/85th Street from CR -512 to 87th Street (FDOT Financial Project ID: 405606-7-56-01). FDOT's initial estimate of the cost of the Utility Work is $2,916,664.80. The UWHCA requires the amount payable to FDOT plus 2% for incremental costs for the Utility Work, including mobilization of equipment, additional maintenance of traffic, administrative costs of field work, tabulation of quantities, Final Estimate processing and Project accounting; plus 10% for a contingency fund to be used for changes to the Utility Work during the construction. The total estimate from FDOT with a markup of 12% is $3,266.664.58. IRCDUS proposes an additional 20% contingency, or $653,333.00 based on recent utility relocation work experience on UWHCA project with FDOT. This additional contingency would be retained by IRCDUS for the sole purpose of covering cost escalations over and above the FDOT initial cost estimate plus markup. Funding: Expenses, in the amount of $3,919,997.58, for this project will be recorded in the Utilities/WIP/CR510 Utility Main Relocations account, number 471-169000-20510. Since this is an operating capital project, the funds will come from fund balance. Operating funds are derived from water and sewer sales. Description Account Number Amount Utilities/WIP/CR510 Utility Main Relocations 471-169000-20510 $3,919,997.58 Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Board approve the Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation for construction of CR-510/85th Street from CR -512 to 87th Street utilities relocation and the budget of $3,919,997.58 with $3,266.664.58 payable to Florida Department of Transportation and $653,333.00 retained by Indian River County Department of Utility Services for cost escalations and authorize the Chair to execute the same. So long as there are no changes in the dollar amount under the work orders, upon adequate completion of the work set forth in the work orders, staff is directed to make final payments to the Florida Department of Transportation, after review and approval by the Purchasing Manager and the County Attorney's Office.
