Summary
The City of Largo will be constructing roadway and drainage system improvements along 127th Avenue, 122nd avenue, 103rd and 104th Street N. This Agreement and construction scope provide for relocation and replacement of the County’s existing 2” and 6” water distribution mains with an approximate total length of 5,000 linear feet. This includes fire hydrants, valves, fittings, blow offs, and miscellaneous incidentals and service connections in conflict with the City’s proposed project improvements. The utilities must be relocated and replaced to accommodate the City’s proposed road and drainage improvements due to being located in the City’s right of way jurisdiction.
Should the contractor bid for utility work under the Agreement, inclusive of mobilization, maintenance of traffic, and miscellaneous administrative fees, exceed $2,000,000.00, then an amendment to the agreement will be required.
Body
Background Information:
The County is required by law to relocate or replace all utilities in its right-of-way in conflict with the City’s proposed project improvement area. Utilizing the City’s construction contractor is a cost-effective method to limit disruption and inconvenience to area residents resulting in project efficiencies for all stakeholders. The City’s contractor will perform the County’s water system infrastructure relocations and replacements as part of the project to achieve expedited repair, minimize maintenance of traffic, staging area and mobilization costs due to the contractor already being onsite.
A Joint Project Agreement between the City and County for design is currently in place. The County’s utility relocation design is approximately 90% complete. The City’s Engineering Consultant is responsible for the design of the roadway and drainage improvements. Construction is expected to begin in October 2024.
Fiscal Impact:
The County agrees to pay a not to exceed amount of $2,000,000.00 to the City of Largo for construction services. This amount includes $200,000.00 for mobilization, maintenance of traffic and miscellaneous administrative fees.
The total estimated project cost is $2,540,000.00. This amount includes the value of County Public Works Construction Engineering Inspection, Consultant Services and Staff time.
Funding is budgeted under 127th Place, 127th Ave, 122nd Ave, 103rd and 104th St. N, Utility Relocation Project 004902A, included in the Capital Improvement Plan, funded by the Water Renewal and Replacement Fund.
