| BACKGROUND: |
Per Florida Administrative Code 62-701, the professional engineer responsible for landfill construction quality assurance shall provide signed, sealed final reports and record drawings to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) upon project completion. Due to unplanned construction delays, additional costs for engineering professional services is required to complete landfill expansion project in accordance with FDEP requirements. Original substantial completion of the project was scheduled for July, 2018. Most current construction schedule has substantial completion scheduled for December, 2018. The project is approximately 55% complete.
Professional Engineering Services provider, Jones Edmunds and Associates, Inc. (JEA), original budget contained contingencies for project delays. However, a five-month delay was not anticipated in the construction services budget. During the current construction process contractor has received two potential notices of default of the Agreement with the Board of County Commissioners. Notices reference key construction components, (i.e. dewatering and protection of work), which directly impacted construction schedule. Since receiving notices, contractor's performance has improved and project appears to be on track for substantial completion, December 2018. |
