On July 31, 2019, the Mayor and City Commission awarded a construction contract (ITB 2019-231-KB) for Indian Creek Phase Ill Improvements, from 25th to 41st Street, approving Ric-Man Construction Florida, Inc., as the lowest responsive, responsible bidder to the ITB.

A major project component is the construction of a pump station including, but not limited to, installation of pumps, generator, and control cabinets, all of which need to be serviced by Florida Power and Light (FPL).  In order for FPL to provide electrical service, FPL has to install a new transformer concrete pad on City property.

In order for FPL to install, operate and maintain their facilities, the City must convey to FPL a non-exclusive 10 (ten) foot wide utility easement.  The proposed utility easement will have a total area of approximately 100 square feet, and will include the area from the manhole to the new pad mounted transformer (Easement Area).

The Administration recommends executing the Easement Agreement in favor of FPL, in the form attached to this Resolution, as Exhibit "A", for the non-exclusive use of the Easement Area, as more particularly described in the sketch and legal description attached thereto as Exhibit "A", in order to provide electrical service to an Indian Creek pump station, located on Indian Creek Drive, between 31st and 32nd Streets.

Results from the 2019 Resident Survey regarding Satisfaction with Perceptions of the City show that 47% of residents rated City efforts to plan for growth as very satisfied/satisfied. In order to continue maintaining excellent standards in this area, the City intends to execute the Indian Creek utility easement.
