BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: September 2, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: Constantine Task Order 11
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: OCWS has requested the services of Constantine Engineering under
Task Order 11 per the terms of Contract #C13-2068-WS for a total not to exceed cost of
$400,000. Task Order 11, for Sunshine State One-Call of Florida (SSOCOF) Services (AKA
"line locating"), is attached for your review.
BACKGROUND: The Water and Sewer Department has maintained a contract with
Constantine Engineering for more than 10 years to perform line location services for responding
to Sunshine State One-Call of Florida service location tickets. This project continues to
authorize Constantine Engineering to perform the SSOCOF services. This project is necessary to
comply with the Underground Facility Damage Prevention and Safety Act, Florida Statute 556,
Sunshine State One-Call of Florida Requirements. The scope of services for this project includes
professional and technical services for locating, verifying, installing permanent markers, ticket
management, and line location services for responding to Sunshine State One-Call of Florida
service location tickets for components of the water and sewer systems.
This Task Order/Engineering Scope of Services negotiated with Constantine Engineering
includes the necessary work tasks to complete the scope of work and is for a not to exceed cost
of $400,000. This is an increase from FY2014 budget amount to account for the increased
number of locate tickets being received over the past 18 months. Funds are available in the
FY2015 budget. The amount spent on this Task Order is a direct reflection on the amount of
construction occurring in our service area - when a contractor digs, by law he must notify
SSOCOF, and by law the underground utilities must be marked. Staff will monitor the budget
closely. If construction continues to pick up, a Task Order Revision may be necessary.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: OCWS requests BCC approval to authorize the Chairman to execute
Constantine Task Order 11, for a not to exceed amount of $400,000.00.
