BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: March 19, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Marler Park Boat Parking Expansion & Convention Center Exhibit Pad
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: Two
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: As part of the design review process, the Army Corps of Engineers
(ACOE) has determined that wetland impacts from the proposed project will require mitigation.
The design, permitting, construction inspection and long term monitoring activities that are
required as part of the ACOE permit are beyond the scope of the existing task order to Atkins.
The scope and fee to perform the necessary services is provided for acceptance by the Board of
County Commissioners.
BACKGROUND: Originally approved on November 15, 2011, Atkins is working on the design
plans for the expansion of the boat parking area at Marler Park along with a new exhibit pad for
the Convention Center. Proposed improvements will have an impact on small wetland areas on
site and the ACOE is requiring mitigation for the environmental impacts.
In order to satisfy the application and permit requirements, Atkins has provided a scope and fee
to perform the necessary work (attached for reference). Included with the proposed scope is the
permit design, permit acquisition, construction oversight and long term monitoring/reporting.
All of these elements are required as part of the ACOE wetland permit. Without these elements
being approved the permit will not be issued.
The original task order to Atkins was approved by the Board of County Commissioners for a
total fee of $64,615.00. Amendments 1 through 3 have increased the task total to the current
approved value of $83,815.00. Proposed Amendment 4 requires approval by the Board of
County Commissioners because the value of the proposed amendment is greater than 10% of the
initial contract (per Purchasing Policy). The proposed amendment is for a not to exceed amount
of $14,078.00. If approved, the resulting task order total would be $97,893.00. Costs associated
with the design of this project are being split equally between the Tourist Development and
Public Works Departments.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove amendment number 4 in the amount of $14,078.00 for task
order number 3 to Atkins for the Marler Park Boat Parking Expansion and Convention Center
Exhibit Pad design project.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve amendment number 4 in the amount of $14,078.00 for task
order number 3 to Atkins for the Marler Park Boat Parking Expansion and Convention Center
Exhibit Pad design project.
