Body
Background Information:
The County and City mutually agree it is economically beneficial to have the County’s contractor perform the City’s utility work as part of construction of the overall project. The Agreement provides the funding mechanism for the City to pay the County in advance of commencement of construction activities and further identifies both the County and City responsibilities throughout the project duration. It will result in savings to both the County and City by reducing costs for mobilization, maintenance of traffic, site restoration, and project administration.
Fiscal Impact:
The City has verified that funding in the amount of $1,656,165.00 for the City’s portion of the utility work is available. The City’s estimated utility work is projected to cost $1,577,300.00 plus an additional five percent (5%), or $78,865.00 for County construction, contract administration, and compaction and backfill testing costs. There is no fiscal impact to the County for the City’s portion of work. This JPA represents the City’s portion of work only and is part of a larger County capital improvement planned project.
The County's project will be funded by the Local Infrastructure Sales Surtax (Penny for Pinellas): Transportation Function, Arterial Roads Projects program, PID 000087A 22nd Avenue South Sidewalk and Roadway Improvements from 58th Street South to 34th Street South and is included in the FY23-28 Capital Improvement Program.
