ANALYSIS

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is planning to construct improvements on Alton Road/SR 907 from Ed Sullivan Street/43rd Street to 63rd Street (Project). Construction is scheduled to begin in April 2020. The Project will include roadway reconstruction, drainage improvements (including storm water pump stations), intersection improvements, milling and resurfacing, adjustment of valves and manholes, sidewalk and curb ramps, signing and pavement markings, and signalization. The Project will impact existing City-owned utility facilities on Alton Road. As such, the impacted utilities require relocation. The design of the City-owned utilities relocation and upgrades by the engineer designing the project for FDOT requires the execution of a Utility Design Consultant Agreement between the FDOT and the City.

On May 11th, 2016, City Commission Resolution 2016-29393 approved and authorized the City manager to executed both the Utility Design Consultant and the Third Party Escrow Agreements (attached), in order to provide for the implementation of the necessary roadway reconstruction, drainage improvements (including storm water pump stations), intersection improvements, milling and resurfacing, adjustment of valves and manholes, sidewalk and curb ramps, signing and pavement markings and signalization along Alton Road/S.R. 907 from 43rd Street to 63rd Street, as part of the Project (FM No. 430444-1-56-01).

These agreements stipulate that the engineering consultant designing the Project for FDOT will be responsible for the design of the City-owned utilities, including relocation and upgrades to be constructed as part of the future Alton Road project. The design fees shall be funded by the City. The FDOT Consultant shall be responsible for the design of all utility work, including location (vertically and horizontally), protection, relocation, installation, adjustment, or removal of utilities owned by the City that are affected by the Project.

The Department of Public Works received from Stantec (FDOT Consultant) a cost proposal to complete the design. The total cost of the design is $386,772. The Department of Public Works has reviewed the proposal and deemed it acceptable for the work included.
