BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: August 19, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: TownePlace Suites Hotel Right Turn Lane Performance Bond
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: Two
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The developer has requested acceptance, by the Board of County
Commissioners, of the Performance Bond #20BSBGP5944 in the amount of $100,000 as a
guarantee for the construction of a proposed right turn lane including a relocation of an existing
sewer force main that has conflict with the right turn lane.
BACKGROUND: Plans for the TownePlace Suites Hotel project were approved on 3/12/13.
The plans include the proposed construction of a right turn lane at the project entrance (off SR
89/Eglin Parkway) in order to mitigate the project’s traffic operational impact and enhance the
safety of access to proposed and future developments. Due to a major and unexpected conflict
with an existing sewer force main in the proposed right turn lane location, the construction of the
right turn lane was delayed until the existing force main is relocated. The hotel project has been
completed (with a temporary driveway connection installed) and a six-month temporary
certificate of occupancy (TCO) has been issued with a condition that the developer will relocate
the existing sewer force main and construct the proposed right turn lane, at their expense, within
six (6) months from the issuance of the TCO. A performance bond in the amount of $100,000
payable to Okaloosa County BCC was provided by the developer to serve as a guarantee for the
construction of the above improvements.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove the developer’s request.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve acceptance of Performance Bond #20BSBGP5944 issued
by Hartford Fire Insurance Company on July 25, 2014 in the amount of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000.00) as a guarantee for the relocation of the existing sewer force main and
construction of the proposed right turn lane.
