Recommendation Concerning an Agreement for Professional Services for Crescent Lake Dam Restoration - Stephan Hall, Management and Budget Services Interim Department Director
That the Board approve and authorize the County Administrator to sign the Agreement between Escambia County and Volkert, Inc., per the terms and conditions of PD 13-14.061, Professional Services for Crescent Lake Dam Restoration, for a lump sum of $131,405, optional services of $23,744, and CEI Services of $49,981.50, for a total of $205,130.50.
[Funding: Fund 352, LOST III, Cost Center 210107, Object Code 56301, Project #15EN3252] |
| BACKGROUND: |
On April 29 and 30 Escambia County, Florida experienced rainfall in excess of 20 inches. During the rainfall event a portion of the existing earthen dam on the south end of Crescent Lake failed causing the lake to drain and deposit sediment and debris in the adjacent wetland. Crescent Lake is approximately 72 acres in size and serves as a recreational facility for surrounding residents as well as a storm water discharge point for the surrounding area.
The purpose of the project is to restore the dam so that functionality can return to the lake. This repair will include repairing the breach and installation of an emergency overflow to convey excess runoff beyond a 100 year storm event to help prevent future failure. This repair will be a joint funded project by the National Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) Emergency Watershed Protection program (EWP) and Escambia County through LOST. The County intends to acquire an easement over the dam from East Shore Dr. to West Shore Dr. which will include a narrow easement along the north toe of the dam in the lake for future maintenance and also an easement south of the dam to Michigan Ave. to convey the discharge.
The timeline provided in the NRCS EWP program is aggressive and describes a construction completion date of October 19, 2015.
