Issue:	Permanent Construction of County Road 295A (Old Corry Field Road Bridge) Due to April 2014 Storm Event
From:	Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Department Director
Organization:	Public Works
CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:

Department:	Public Works
Division:	Engineering/Infrastructure Division
Type:	Additive
Amount:	$134,891.82
Vendor:	Baskerville Donovan, Inc.
Project Name:	Old Corry Field Road
Contract:	PD 02-03.79
PO#:	141356
CO#:	3
Original Award Amount:	$82,818.34
Cumulative Amount of Change Orders Through This CO:	$133,691.82
New Contract Total:	$216,510.16

BACKGROUND:

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has notified Escambia County that CR 295A (Old Corry Field Road Bridge) qualifies for funding through the Federal Highway Safety Program, based on the crash rate for this road.

The designed improvements include the permanent construction of CR 295A (Old Corry Field Road Bridge) due to damages caused by the April 2014 Storm Event. The Project will replace damaged box culverts with a precast concrete arched bridge, and associated roadway and drainage infrastructure will also be repaired. The construction project will be administered by Escambia County, and FDOT will reimburse the County as costs are incurred.

There is a possibility that there may be minimal private property impacts associated with construction activities. It is unknown at this time if those impacts will be temporary or permanent.

The submittal must include a Resolution from the Board which authorizes support for the project. The LAP is split 80/20; FDOT will pay for 80% of the project, which is $1,027,967, and Escambia County will pay 20%, which is $256,991, for a total project amount of $1,284,958.

After the April storm it was determined and reported by Baskerville Donovan, Inc., (our consultant) that the existing box culverts had not shifted, so all culverts and the road could be reconstructed to pre-storm condition. Our consultant was then asked to provide a scope and fee for engineering services to design the reconstruction as it existed. The scope and fee were approved, and a notice to proceed was issued.

After further investigation and review of documentation it became known that past storms had caused stormwater to overtop and damage the road. During department discussions, it was determined that a bridge should replace the box culverts to allow stormwater to flow less obstructed under the road and to deter future and repetitive destruction of infrastructure. At the same time, the County had the opportunity to take advantage of available FHWA/FDOT funding for a bridge upgrade at this location. County staff requested that the consultant shift his efforts from the original scope of designing an in-kind repair to designing a pre-cast bridge design, and to submit a revised scope and fee for the requested additional effort.

The initial scope and the revised scope are attached. Change Order #1 deducted $1,200 due to a spreadsheet error. Change Order #2 was to correct the object code number and to add a project number. Change Order #3 will increase the contract by $134,891.82, making the new contract total $216,510.16.

The consultant has performed some surveying, design, geotechnical, and permitting services under the original scope and fee. The change order is intended to cover the additional work required for a precast bridge design which will cover hydraulic analysis, structural analysis and design, additional surveying, geotechnical, environmental permitting and work to satisfy FHWA/FDOT LAP reporting requirements.

Soon after the storm the consultant was asked to provide and implement an emergency MOT plan and provide Construction, Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services for two preliminary clean up efforts to satisfy FHWA/FDOT requirements. That effort will also be captured in Change Order #3.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

A supplemental budget amendment will be prepared by the Office of Management and Budget to recognize the funding for the LAP Agreement for 80% of the project, and for the 20% which will be funded through Fund 352 "LOST III." The Change Order will be funded through Fund 112 "Disaster Recovery Fund", Cost Center 330492, Object Code 54612/56301, Project #ESCPW33.

Kristin Hual, Assistant County Attorney, reviewed and approved the Resolution and the LAP Agreement as to form and legal sufficiency.

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

Public Works Department staff will continue to coordinate this project with FDOT, and will coordinate with the Purchasing Department for procurement of a contractor. Engineering staff will manage the project.

Upon approval of this recommendation, a Change Order will be transmitted to the Office of Purchasing for processing.

Issue:	Countywide Leave Buyback Program
From:	Amy Lovoy, Department Director
Organization:	OMB
CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning the County-wide Leave Buyback - Amy Lovoy, Management and Budget Services Department Director That the Board take the following action concerning the County-wide Leave Buyback: A. Approve allowing all employees of the Board who were employed as of November 16, 2014, to sell back to the County at their current rate of pay, a maximum of 80 hours of accrued Annual Leave, Paid Time Off (PTO), Management Option Benefit (MOB) Leave, Transferred Annual Leave (TAL), Transferred Holiday and Union Compensatory Time (THUC) or Compensatory Time, as long as the combined balance remaining after the sale of the leave is at least 100 hours; B. Waive the Human Resources Policy found in Section 9.3(d) and 9.3(e), that states the amount of hours remaining after the sale of leave will be 240 hours and the maximum amount of hours that can be sold in a year is 40; and C. Approve extending this program to the Offices of the Supervisor of Elections, Property Appraiser, Sheriff, Clerk of the Circuit Court, Tax Collector, and the Santa Rosa Island Authority (SRIA).
BACKGROUND:
At the end of FY 2013 the County's long term compensated absences liability was $27,841,505. This amount has increased about 16.5% in the last 5 years. With wages and leave balances increasing the cost to pay for this leave is cheaper now than it will be at any point in the foreseeable future. The cost of wages is rising by about 3% annually while the County's cash investments are earning an annual rate of return of .20% on the short-term portfolio. About 70% of the total Board workforce will be able to sell some form of leave using these parameters. Of the workforce unable to sell leave their average length of employment is less than 6 years while the average length of the workforce overall is more than 11 years.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
The cost should every eligible employee sell the maximum allowed amount is estimated at $3,100,000 with $2,500,000 paid by the General Fund. This cost includes funding for the Board, Sheriff, Supervisor of Elections, Property Appraiser and the employees of the Clerk of the Circuit Court funded from County derived revenue sources. Should these elected officials choose to participate in this program, the Board will provide funding for this purpose. Should the Tax Collector and the SRIA choose to participate, they will pay their costs from their existing funds. The Board last did an leave buyback in December of 2012. The total Board (not including the other elected officials) cost at this time was about $1,125,000. All necessary funds will be provided via supplemental budget amendment to carry forward fund balances in January.

The authorization for the County Attorney's Office to prepare, and the Chairman or Vice Chairman to execute any documents, subject to Legal review and sign-off, necessary to complete the acquisition of this property without further action of the Board; and D. Approve the reallocation of funds, totaling $95,000, from Fiscal Year 2014/2015 Capital Improvement Program from the Eleven Mile Creek Restoration Project (District 5) to the Ponderosa Drive Project (District 5). The funds allocated for the Eleven Mile Creek Restoration Project (Bristol Park) are anticipated to be funded by RESTORE. [Funding Source: Fund 352, LOST III, Cost Center 210107, Object Code 56101]
BACKGROUND:
The County has a small retention area located behind the property at 1861 Ponderosa Drive, which, after the recent flood event has proven to be inadequate for the stormwater drainage system in the area near Ponderosa Drive and Ashland Avenue. The Donaldson property at 1861 Ponderosa Drive did receive some flooding as did other properties in the area. The property at 1861 Ponderosa Drive and the adjacent property to the west have been identified as suitable to expand the stormwater retention system in this area. Staff contacted the owners, who indicated that they were interested in selling their property. Staff had an appraisal performed by G. Daniel Green & Associates dated 04/28/2014, which placed a value of $75,000 for the property. The Donaldsons indicated that they could not accept that offer and countered with an offer to sell for $85,000, on which they were very firm. While staff understands the Board's position on paying above appraised value, this property would be considered vital to the drainage improvement project in this area, since the location and size of the retention area is controlled by the topography of the area and the scope of design of the proposed drainage improvements. Therefore, staff is requesting the Board to consider approval to purchase a parcel of real property, with house (approximately 1.01 acres) from Jeffrey D. and Marylou Donaldson for the purchase price of $85,000, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Contract for Sale and Purchase.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Funding for this acquisition is available in Fund 352 “LOST III", Cost Center 210107, Object Code 56101.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:
The County Attorney's Office will prepare the closing documents and conduct the closing for the purchase of this property.
PERSONNEL:
All work associated with this acquisition is being done in-house and no additional staff is required.
POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:
These actions are consistent with the provisions of Section 46-139 of the Escambia County Code of Ordinances.
IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:
Upon Board approval, staff will maintain compliance with Section 46-139 of the Escambia County Code of Ordinances.
