Lagoon Greenway
For your signature, please find attached two originals of a County construction agreement with
Timothy Rose Contracting, Inc., for construction of access improvements on the Flinn Tract of the

On November 2 , 2010 , the Board of County Commissioners approved a project agreement with the Florida
Inland Navigation District (FIND) for construction of public access improvements on the Flinn Tract of the
Lagoon Greenway . That agreement related to a $ 17 , 845 . 00 (50%) grant awarded by FIND , which was applied
for by county staff with assistance from the Indian River Land Trust (IRLT) .

documents and has obtained four bids for the work . The low bid for the Lagoon Greenway Phase 1
construction project was submitted by Timothy Rose Contracting, Inc . ( $ 32 , 701 . 89) .
County Ordinance 2005 - 025 authorizes the County Administrator to approve construction agreement s up to
$ 50 , 000 . 00 . Under that authority, I request that you execute the attached agreement on behalf of the County .
The construction agreement has been reviewed by purchasing department staff and has been signed- off by
county attorney staff.
FUNDING
I
On February 16 , 2010 , the County Commission approved an appropriation of up to $ 100 , 000 in Park Impact
Fees for use as a match towards the public access improvements . Account number 10321072 -066510 - 11001
