kox.03 punished by a fine not to exceed $500.00 or 6 months in jail or both. Section 201.33 also states that the county may enforce the provisions of this article by seeking injunctive relief or any other remedies provided by law. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS In reviewing the bids, Martin Paving Co. of Sebastian, Florida is the low bidder. The total of the bid items originally included in the Community Development Block Grant application, as submitted by Martin Paving is $638,546.30. The County staff added two items to the project bid scheduled. One item is extending a water line to the newly renovated West Wabasso Park which was bid at $16,000. The second item was paving a short section of 6,e Avenue south of the Douglas School to complete road paving in the area. This paving item was bid at $61,000, which is too high, in staffs opinion. The CDBG bid items came in $10,453.70 under the CDBG grant amount. Staff also save $8,176 in engineering fees allowed by the DCA in the CDBG funding. The following Alternatives are provided: Alternative No. 1 Award the bid to the low bidder, Martin Paving Co. of Sebastian in the amount of $715,546.30. Since the bid item #2,000 for the paving of the southerly extension of W Avenue was above the Engineer's Estimate, Change Order No. 1 will be prepared to delete this work from the contract resulting in a revised contract amount of $654,546.30. Since the bids for the original CDBG scope of work came in at $638,546.30, which is $10,453.70 below the CDBG approved funding, and the engineering costs are $8,176 below the CDBG approved funding, staff can request that the DCA approve funding the $16,000 West Wabasso Park Water Main Extension as an eligible cost under the CDBG program. If DCA approves, the funding would be by the CDBG program. If DCA denies the request, the water main extension will be funded by the 10 Local Option Sales Tax Park Improvements fund. In addition to awarding the bid, the staff recommends directing the County's Consultant, Clark, Roumelis, and Assoc., to amend the CDBG application to reduce the amount of matching SHIP funds to reflect actual demand for SHIP loans. Mandatory hook-up to the water mains under County Ordinance 91-9 is also recommended. Alternative No. 2 Rebid the project. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends Alternative No. 1.
