RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning a License Agreement with the Northwest Florida Water Management District for the Scour Rehabilitation of County Road 184 (Quintette Road) Bridge - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E. - Public Works Department Director

That the Board take the following action concerning a License Agreement between Escambia County and the Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD) for a planned improvement project for the Scour Rehabilitation of County Road (CR) 184 (Quintette Road) bridge over Escambia River (Bridge Number 480045):

A. Rescind the Board's action of August 4, 2016, CAR I-8, approving the License Agreement between Escambia County and NWFWMD for Access and Temporary Construction Workspace at Quintette Landing Boat Ramp, a planned improvement project for the Scour Rehabilitation of CR 184 (Quintette Road) bridge over Escambia River;

B. Approve the updated License Agreement between Escambia County and NWFWMD for Access and Temporary Construction Workspace at Quintette Landing Boat Ramp, a planned improvement project for the Scour Rehabilitation of CR 184 (Quintette Road) bridge over Escambia River; and

C. Authorize the Chairman or Vice Chairman to execute the updated License Agreement, and all other documents related to the conveyance, subject to Legal review and sign-off, without further action of the Board.

[Funding: Funds for incidental expenses associated with recording of documents are available in an Engineering Escrow Account accessed by the Escambia County Clerk's Office]

BACKGROUND:

The rehabilitation plan will be implemented by Escambia County and is intended to protect the bridge located on County Road (CR) 184 (Quintette Road) - Bridge Number 480045 - from additional scouring. This project is Phase II, which will complete the planned rehabilitation scheduled for this bridge. Phase I rehabilitation was completed in late 2015. In order for the construction to commence for Phase II, the Board will need to execute a License Agreement with NWFWMD, which will allow the contractor to utilize the existing Quintette Road Boat Ramp as a staging area. Without the Licensing Agreement, the projected costs for rehabilitation exceed the proposed budget by approximately 250%. NWFWMD’s Governing Board has approved the License Agreement for Quintette Road Boat Ramp.

On the original License Agreement, item # 16 was omitted. Item #16 states, "Pursuant to s. 20055(5), F.S., the County shall and agrees to cooperate with an inspector general in any investigation, audit, inspection, review, or hearing involving or related to a contract, bide, proposal, and application or solicitation for a contract."

The updated License Agreement includes item #16 as stated above.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

All costs associated with accepting and recording of documents will be paid by Escambia County.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

The License Agreement has not been approved as to form and legal sufficiency. Legal concerns will be addressed to the Board by the County Attorney during the meeting.

PERSONNEL:

All work associated with this request is being done in-house and no additional staff is required.
