BACKGROUND: As part of the 2012/2013 CIP budget, the paving of State Line Road was approved for an estimated total of $100,000. As the design work has proceeded, the location of the State line relative to the roadway has been mapped and it has become clear that there is not sufficient room to shift the paving of the roadway so that it will remain within the boundaries of Okaloosa County. Staff approached adjacent landowners for right of way donation, but was unsuccessful in obtaining right of way for the entire road alignment. Additionally, Staff approached Covington County to see if a joint project was feasible which would allow more room for drainage and centering the roadway in both Counties. As with many local municipalities, Covington County is not in position to assist with the project at this time. Based on the lack of available right of way to shift the roadway, the lack of space to provide for drainage to the extent desired for a formally paved road, and the lack of available assistance from the neighboring municipality, Staff proposes to modify the project to a surface made from Asphalt Millings instead of Hot Mix Asphalt. This change will result in a decrease in the estimated cost for the roadway of approximately $40,000; however, no budget transfers out of the project are requested at this time. OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval to apply asphalt millings in lieu of hot mix asphalt paving as a means to economically complete the project given the constraints that have been encountered.

This amendment will extend the expiration date to September 30, 2013, matching the County’s contract (10DB-4X-01-56-01-F 18) with the State of Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). It also will incorporate Modifications No. 7 and No. 8 to the County’s contract with the State of Florida DEO. BACKGROUND: Through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (then Department of Community Affairs) allocated to Okaloosa County a total of $3,258,435. The Agreement between Okaloosa County BCC and Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (FDEO) was executed on November 24, 2009. Through the request for proposals process, the County selected the Okaloosa Community Development Corporation to act as its developer to utilize the NSP funds. The Okaloosa County BCC and Okaloosa CDC entered into a contract (C10-1798-GM) on April 20, 2010 to enable the CDC to begin utilizing these funds. On November 20, 2012, the FDEO awarded Okaloosa County an additional allocation of $301,917.73 of NSP program funds. The amendment will allow the CDC, as Okaloosa County's developer, to use these funds for activities as specified in the NSP workplan. No County funds are required for the implementation of this program. RECOMMENDATION: The Growth Management Department requests that the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to sign Amendment No. 5 to the NSP Agreement Contract Number C10-1798-GM, between Okaloosa County BCC and Okaloosa County Community Development Corporation.
