bt 1��e ooK .04 F�nc 357 11.G.2. GIFFORD PARK- FLORIDA RECREATION DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (FRDAP) PROJECT NO. 32074 - IMPROVEMENTS TO GIFFORD PARK - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION The Board reviewed a Memorandum of January 30, 1998: TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E-. DATE: January 30. 1998 Public Works Director SUBJECT: Gifford Park-FRDAP Project No. 32074 Time Extension REF. LETTER: Luanda Coverston, FDEP to Jim Davis dated Jan. 22. 1998 Back in August, 1995, the Florida DEP granted Gifford Park funding in the amount of $97,500 for improvements to the park. In September, 1997, the County requested an extension to bid out construction of a large picnic pavilion. The delay was due to a change of construction method. At that time, construction had been in-house, and staff determined that it would be more practical to bid out the pavilion. The bidding and award process would require several weeks beyond the current final date, and it would require several months to complete the construction. Attached are the amendments to extend the construction completion date for the project. Staff recommends approval of Amendment # 1 to the Agreement. MOTION was made by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, that the Board approve Amendment #I to the Agreement with the Department of Environmental Protection extending the construction completion date for the improvements to Gifford Park, as recommended by staff. Commissioner Adams questioned whether this would affect the coming grants for August, and Public Works Director Jim Davis replied that it would not. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion passed unanimously. DOCUMENTS ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD FEBRUARY 10, 1998 -46-
