11.G.3. KINGS HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS - ENGINEERING <br />SERVICES - AMENDMENT #13 - KIMLEY-HORN, INC. <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of December 11, 2001: <br />TO: James Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E. / <br />Public Works Director <br />FROM: Terry B. Thompson, P.E. <br />Capital Projects Manage <br />SUBJECT: Kings Highway Improvements <br />Engineering Services <br />Amendment No. 13 <br />DATE: December 11, 2001 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Kimley-Horn, Inc. is under contract with Indian River County to provide professional <br />engineering and surveying services for improvements to Kings Highway. The attached <br />Amendment No. 13 provides for revising the design of Kings Highway south of Oslo Road. <br />The County has been unable to acquire right-of-way for Kings Highway south of Oslo <br />Road. The new alignment of Kings Highway is 50 feet west of the existing roadway and <br />will not line up with the existing dirt road. The intersection of Oslo Road and Kings <br />Highway will be redesigned to eliminate the south leg of the intersection. When the County <br />obtains right-of-way in the future through purchase or a Developer's Agreement, Kings <br />Highway will be continued south of Oslo Road. The dirt road on the west side of the <br />Lateral "B" Canal will still be accessible from the south, but will dead end at Kings Highway. <br />This existing dirt road is located within the Indian River Farms Water Control District <br />(IRFWCD) right-of-way; there is no existing road right-of-way for Kings Highway south of <br />Oslo Road. <br />The proposed roadway revisions in Amendment No. 13 include elimination of the south leg <br />of the Oslo Road/Kings Highway intersection and a gated driveway turnout for IRFWCD <br />access to the canal. Any modifications to the Oslo Road/Kings Highway signal plans will <br />be conducted under a separate work order. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 13 in the amount of $6,000.00. Funding <br />is from Account 101-158-541-067.31 <br />DECEMBER 18, 2001 <br />-95- <br />
