The Petitioner owns and operates the Southwind Marina facility located on Big Lagoon, and the Petitioner's property lying south of Sinton Drive is where the marina/dry storage facility and boat launch facility are located.

Engineering staff has reviewed this request and has no objections to the proposed vacation provided that a public access easement is retained over the vacated portion of Sinton Drive, with the understanding that the County will not be responsible for maintenance of the easement. All utility companies concerned have been contacted and have no objections to the requested vacation provided that a utility easement is retained over the area being vacated, with the understanding that the County will not be responsible for the maintenance of the easement. Staff has made no representations to the Petitioner or to the Petitioners' agent that Board approval of this request operates to confirm the vesting or return of title to the land to the Petitioner or to any other interested party.

[Funding: Fund 152, “Southwest Sector CRA,” Cost Center 110269, Object Code 56301, Project No. 08EN0662 - $71,542.50; Fund 152, “Southwest Sector CRA,” Cost Center 210507, Object Code 56301, Project No. 08EN0662 - $71,542.50; and Fund 352, “LOST III,” Cost Center 210107, Object Code 56301, Project #06EN0522 - $135,191]

On November 15, 2012, the Board agreed to transfer the Perdido Key Drive (State Road 292) Project to the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for completion. The current Locally Funded Agreement, in the amount of $217,724, was also approved at that time. It has since been determined that an additional $278,276 should be provided by the County to FDOT in order to complete the environmental portion of the Project, amending the amount of Escambia County’s portion from $217,724 to $496,000.
 
13. 3937   Recommendation Concerning Change Order to Rebol-Battle & Associates, LLC, for Design Services for Muscogee Road between U.S. Highway 29 and Perdido River - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director

That the Board approve and authorize the Interim County Administrator to execute the following Change Order:

Department: Public Works
Division: Engineering/Infrastructure Division
Type: Addition
Amount: $122,714
Vendor: Rebol-Battle & Associates, LLC
Project Name: Muscogee Road
Contract: PD 11-12.014
PO No. 121251
CO No. 2
Original Award Amount: $906,213
Cumulative Amount of Change Orders Through this CO: $122,714
New Contract Total: $1,028,927

Meeting in regular session on May 3, 2012, the Board voted to award a Lump Sum Contract to Rebol-Battle & Associates, LLC (RBA), on Contract PD 11-12.014 for "Design Services for Muscogee Road between U.S. Highway 29 and Perdido River." RBA is providing engineering/survey services and coordinating geotechnical, traffic, permitting and environmental services to develop final roadway construction plans for the widening, shoulder addition, and drainage improvements to Muscogee Road from U.S. Highway 29 to Perdido River Bridge. Change Order #1 was an administrative Change Order to transfer funds within tasks.

This Change Order will add an additional Corridor Study, in the amount of $67,264, and add Subsurface Utility Exploration (SUE), in the amount of $55,450, to the Contract.

The Corridor Study will provide three routes from which to choose for an access to the proposed industrial site off Muscogee Road.

The SUE data will consist of underground verification of an existing, currently out-of-service gas line, most of which is directly in the path of the proposed widening of Muscogee Road. Because the Perdido Landfill wants to use this gas line to transport leachate to International Paper, RBA will provide accurate elevations along the gas line where it comes in contact with the proposed widening, to avoid any possible conflicts.

14. 3967   Recommendation Concerning a Change Order to American Consulting Engineers of Florida, LLC, for Design Services for the Market Street Drainage Project - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director

That the Board approve and authorize the Interim County Administrator to execute the following Change Order:

Department: Public Works
Division: Engineering/Infrastructure Division
Type: Addition
Amount: $15,706
Vendor: American Consulting Engineers of Florida, LLC
Project Name: Market Street Drainage Design
Contract: PD 02-03.79
PO No. 120721
CO No. 2
Original Award Amount: $40,137
Cumulative Amount of Change Orders Through this CO: $15,706
New Contract Total: $55,843

On November 10, 2011, a Task Order was issued to American Consulting Engineers of Florida, LLC, on Contract PD 02-03.79, for the Market Street Drainage Improvements Project, to design drainage improvements on Market Street. The original scope was to take the stormwater from Michael Drive to the drainage system on "W" Street. Upon investigation of that drainage system, it was determined that to tie the system from Michael Drive into "W" Street was not feasible for several reasons (including closing "W" Street for an extended period of time).

Consequently, County staff asked the Engineer of Record (EOR) to identify and coordinate acquisition of a pond site on Market Street. This modification to the original scope of work caused additional design fees to accumulate, which led to this Change Order request.

Change Order #1 added time to the Contract. The amount indicated in Change Order #2 will provide the necessary compensation as American Consulting Engineering of Florida, LLC, takes the Project from the bidding process through construction, including completion of the Project's design.

Change Order #1 transferred funds from the geotechnical allowance to the surveying allowance. Additional surveying was needed for McArthur Lane and minor related areas to accommodate the drainage system outfall to the Dovefield Pond.

Change Order #2 was an additive Change Order, in the amount of $49,762.54, for additional time and funding for this Project. The original scope excluded railroad crossing improvements; however, it was determined that to meet roadway design standards, an upgrade would need to be implemented to include the railroad crossing improvements. This Change Order also added 730 calendar days to the Contract.

This Change Order #3 is an additive Change Order, in the amount of $12,650, to provide signalization services for this project, which includes a complete set of signalization modification plans for the intersection of Ten Mile Road and Ashton Brosnaham Road. These changes were deemed to be necessary upon 60% plan review by the Traffic and Transportation Division. The modifications will include the addition of countdown pedestrian signal crossings for the north and east legs, new vehicle detector loops, underground and under pavement conduit, pull boxes, saw-cut runs, and adjustments to the existing signal head locations where feasible.
