Under the guidelines of the SUN Trail Program, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has reviewed and approved the negotiated GMP.

Body
Background Information:
This project consists of two phases - Phase One (1) included the design development which is inclusive of design and sixty percent construction documents and GMP. Phase two will initiate the construction phase. Actual construction is anticipated to commence by June 1, 2020 with anticipated completion on July 21, 2022.
The GMP does not include the segment between Northside Drive and Meadow Wood Drive in Clearwater. A separate GMP will be brought to the Board once a design and cost estimate are completed for the final alignment of the gap. This item does not include cost of optional easements or estimated Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) costs.
Fiscal Impact:
Phase One (Design) Total $ 1,599,461.80
Phase Two Construction $ 9,347,046.69
Phase Two Owner Contingency $ 1,300,000.00
Phase Two Total $ 10,647,046.69
Total for Phase One and Phase Two $ 12,246,508.49
During the 720 days of project construction schedule, it is reasonable to anticipate unforeseen conditions requiring the use of contingency funds for resolution. Owner controlled contingency is intended to be utilized for any necessary items as directed by the Owner on a case-by case basis.
Negotiated GMP for the construction amount is $9,347,046.69. The project will be partially funded by FDOT as part of the $6,200,000.00 Florida SUN Trail grant. The County will fund the remaining amount of $6,046,508.49 through the adopted Capital Improvement Program.
The funding source for the County’s portion will be derived from the Local Infrastructure Sales Tax (Penny for Pinellas III): Pinellas Trail Projects, Pinellas Trail North Segment - PID No. 000967A, and Local Infrastructure Sales Tax (Penny for Pinellas IV): Pinellas Trail Projects, Trail Projects PID No., 003682A. The current project budget will need to be revised during the Fiscal Year 2021 budget process to add the additional grant funds and reallocate funds.
