BOOK 99 Fact 164 <br />FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT POWER POLE RELOCATIONS - <br />58TH AVENUE BIPROVEMENTS <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of September 9, 1996: <br />TO: <br />James E. Chandler. <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: <br />Terry B. Thompson, P. <br />Capital Project Mang <br />James W. Davis. P.E.. <br />Public Works Directo <br />SUBJECT: <br />Florida Power & Light Power Pole Relocations <br />58th Avenue Improvements <br />DATE: <br />September 9. 1996 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Attached is a Facilities Relocation Agreement between Indian River County and <br />Florida Power & Light Company (FP&L) for the relocation of transmission and <br />distribution facilities on the west side of Kings Highway north and south of SR60. <br />The estimated cost for this relocation work is $153.251. The agreement notes that <br />final billing will reflect actual field costs not to exceed 110% of the estimated cost <br />($168.576.10). After the relocation work is completed. FP&L will send a final <br />invoice to the County for remittance. <br />FP&L has requested that the County execute and return three copies of the <br />Agreement. After the Agreements have been executed by FP& L. one original will <br />be returned to the County. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Staff recommends that the Board approve the attached agreement at a not -to - <br />exceed cost of $168.576.10. Funding is from Account #101-158-541-067.31 <br />Commissioner Bird questioned whether any agency has any <br />authority to check FPL's charges as some the charges seem <br />outrageous, and Public Works Director Jim Davis stated that staff <br />does the best it can to look into all charges and if they see <br />something that looks unreasonable, they bring it to their <br />attention. In 1982 a pole at 8th Street was moved at a cost of <br />approximately $8,000. This many years later, a charge of $40,000 <br />to $50,000 a pole does not seem to be out of line. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously approved <br />the Facilities Relocation Agreement with Florida <br />Power & Light Company, as recommended by staff. <br />AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE <br />CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 40 <br />
