Cohen, City Manager <br />lIans OUinat, City Attorney <br />Jane A. Hines, CMC. City Clerk <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commission <br /> <br />FROM: Alan J. Cohen, City Manager <br />DATE: March 1st, 2012 <br /> <br />RE: Increase in the Cost of the Streetscape Project Landscaping Contract <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the resolution approving an increase <br />in the cost of the Streetscape Project Landscaping Contract <br /> <br />REASONS <br /> <br />At its meeting of January 19th, 2012 the City Commission authorized the City Manager <br />and City Attorney to negotiate and enter into a contract for the addition of landscaping <br />services to the Collins Avenue Streetscape capital project, in an amount not to exceed <br />$750,000. The original quote provided to the Commission did not include elements that <br />are either necessary and/or desirable to include in the contract. <br /> <br />Previous landscaping improvements of this nature were able to access the utilities and <br />utility infrastructure of one large property owner. During this phase of the Collins <br />Avenue Streetscape project the City is dealing with many smaller property owners and it <br />is necessary for the City to provide its own utility infrastructure for the irrigation and <br />lighting components of the project. This includes the installation of conduit, pipes and <br />master meters, and for directional drilling under side streets and driveways for almost <br />30 blocks of Collins Avenue to install this infrastructure. The additional cost of this work <br />will be approximately $157,000. <br /> <br />While the City is performing this installation, it is desirable to piggyback on this work and <br />install conduit for a fiber-optic system that the City will require as part of its city-wide <br />security system. The additional cost of this will be approximately $83,000, and will be <br />paid for by forfeiture funds. <br /> <br />Agenda Item 4b <br /> <br />Date ::? IJJ \ 1-- <br />
