Summary:
The Public Works Department is requesting an emergency expenditure for materials and fencing to complete the Orange Street overpass project in Ozona as part of the Orange Street Overpass Project for the Pinellas Trail.

Although the County has a contract with Smith Fence for services, the contract is not established for such large expenditures and this purchase would deplete the contract. County staff has requested an emergency purchase to replace the existing fence material that has deteriorated significantly, resulting in a potential safety hazard to the public. Smith Fence will invoice the County at the established contract rates.

Total expenditure not to exceed: $241,670.00
Funding is derived from Public Works’ Operating Budget.
