Consent Item
<br />River County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) entered into two (2) separate Utility Design by FDOT
<br />Consultant Agreements for design of IRCDUS utilities relocation: 1) CR -512 to West of 82nd Avenue, and 2)
<br />West of 82"d Avenue to 58th Avenue.
<br />For the construction phase of CR-510/85th Street widening related to IRCDUS utilities relocation, the BCC
<br />approved Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement (UWHCA) with FDOT on April 9, 2024, for the
<br />segment from CR -512 to 87th Street (Financial Project ID: 405606.7) for the amount of $2,916,664.80, plus
<br />2% for incremental costs for the Utility Work ($58,333.30) and 10% contingency fund ($291,666.48) for a
<br />total, including markup, of $3,266,664.58. The BCC also approved an additional 20% contingency reserve
<br />($653,332.92) for a total working budget of $3,919,997.50 for construction of this segment of the FDOT
<br />project.
<br />Analysis:
<br />For continuation of the construction phase of CR-510/85th Street widening related to IRCDUS utilities
<br />relocation for the segment from 87th Street to West of 82"d Avenue (Financial Project ID: 405606.8), FDOT
<br />has provided the attached UWHCA. FDOT's initial estimate of the cost of the Utility Work is $ 2,772,403.20.
<br />The UWHCA requires the amount payable to FDOT plus 2% for incremental costs for the Utility Work
<br />($55,448.06), including mobilization of equipment, additional maintenance of traffic, administrative costs
<br />of field work, tabulation of quantities, final estimate processing, and project accounting; plus 10% for a
<br />contingency fund ($277,240.32) to be used for changes to the utility work during the construction. The
<br />total estimate from FDOT with 12% markup is $3,105,091.58.
<br />IRCDUS proposes an additional 20% contingency reserve, or $621,018.32, based on recent utility
<br />relocation work experience on a UWHCA project with FDOT. This additional contingency reserve would
<br />be retained by IRCDUS for the sole purpose of covering cost escalations over and above the FDOT initial
<br />cost estimate, plus markup. The total working budget for the construction phase of CR-510/85th Street
<br />widening, related to utilities relocation from 87th Street to West of 82nd Avenue, is $3,726,109.90.
<br />Funding:
<br />Expenses, in the amount of $3,726,109.90, for this project will be recorded in the Utilities/WIP/CR510 Utility
<br />Main Relocations account, number 471-169000-20510. Since this is an operating capital project, the funds will
<br />come from fund balance. Operating funds are derived from water and sewer sales.
