HIGHLANDS COUNTYCOUNTY COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM

DATE OF ACTION REQUEST: Feb 20, 2018

PRESENTER: Clinton Howerton Jr., P.E. - County EngineerW. Kyle Green, Road and Bridge Superintendent

SUBJECT/TITLE: Consideration of construction of Sebring Parkway Phase III project usingHighlands County employees, services, and equipment.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE

On August 16, 2011, the Board approved the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) County IncentiveGrant Program (CIGP) Agreement (FDOT financial project ID #420082-2-58-01) in which FDOT agreed to share thecost of Sebring Parkway Phase III Project in the maximum participated amount of three million dollars ($3,000,000.00)for design, construction, and construction engineering and inspection services to construct 4.2 miles of roadway. Thisproject will begin at the existing 90-degree bend in the Sebring Parkway Phase I project and continue north along theabandoned Seaboard Railroad right-of-way and end at Memorial Drive. This project is necessary to maintain thecurrent levels of service for our existing roadways and to accommodate future development in the area. Per the original executed FDOT CIGP Agreement, the Sebring Parkway Phase III construction was required to becompleted by October 2014. In April 2016, the County requested an extension for the second time extending theproject through December 31, 2017. In July, 2017, a revised environmental resource permit was issued bySWFWMD for a revised design by a separate engineering firm hired by the County. In November 2017, FDOTgranted another extension to complete the project prior to December 31, 2019. The current design-build contractor, Preferred Materials Inc., does not wish to incorporate the revised design desiredby Highlands County as their plan for construction without additional compensation provides for construction of only 2separated lanes. The current contract amount is $6,359,550.00 but will require an estimated additional $2 million ormore with no certainty of final future costs. After reviewing the revised plans and reviewing construction prices and costs, staff has determined the complete 4 laneroadway can be constructed for the same approximate cost as needed for the contractor to complete their contract ifbuilt using County employees, services, and equipment. Recommendation by staff is to construct all 4 lanes of theproposed roadway in this method.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Move to direct staff to prepare to complete the construction plans and construct the 4-lane roadway usingHighlands County services, employees and equipment.

FISCAL IMPACT

Total project budget is currently $10,073,280.41. An additional $1,408,460.92 will be needed to fully fund the projectas proposed.
