BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: April 16, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: Gator Boring Task Order 61
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: Four
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: OCWS has requested the services of Gator Boring under Task
Order #61 per the terms of Contract #C05-1117-WS for a total cost of $128,306.15. Task Order
#61 is attached for your review.
BACKGROUND: OCWS has a 16" water main on the south side of Highway 98 near Hurlburt
Field. FDOT is planning to build a new interchange (FDOT project # 415067-2-52-01) at the
entrance to Hurlburt (Cody Avenue). As you are aware, this Cody Avenue Interchange is being
fast-tracked by the state. In our early stage plan review and coordination with FDOT no utility
conflicts with our 16" water main were identified. A few months ago, the design was changed to
extend the turn lanes. This then created a conflict with the drainage scheme, resulting in a 1,015
LF portion of the water main that will have to be relocated. The water main will need to be
significantly lower in its present location. A new 20" diameter directional bore is needed to
relocate the water main - see attached aerial photo, which depicts the approximate location of the
proposed bore. The roadway construction is scheduled to start in July, and FDOT has requested
that all utilities be completed with relocations by then.
OCWS currently has $75,000 in the FY2013 budget for FDOT relocation projects. This Task
Order is the largest component of this relocation project, but there are other costs to be accounted
for, such as: engineering, permitting, material/labor/equipment for the connections, concrete
encasement, etc. This total project could cost up to $300,000. Whatever is spent above $75,000
will come out of OCWS reserves, which are adequate to fund this project.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: OCWS requests BCC approval to authorize the Chairman to execute
Gator Boring Task Order 61, for a not to exceed amount of $128,306.15.
