Summary:
The Second Amendment increases the contract by $29,927.14 allowing time for HDR to perform the detailed analysis of the recommended eastern alignment alternative that was selected by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) at the June 12, 2018 meeting.
The time extension of twenty-four (24) months is requested in order to comply with changes made by Florida Highway Administration (FHWA), which delegated lead agency responsibilities to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Office of Environmental Management. FDOT Office of Environmental Management is now responsible for review and issuance of the Location and Design Concept Acceptance of the proposed replacement of such structures, which were formerly the responsibility of FHWA. The extension also allows the Board adequate time to review the supplemental information and to ensure the required public hearing is scheduled for a date when most seasonal residents are in Florida.
