BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST DATE: December 17, 2013 TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board FROM: John Hofstad SUBJECT: 2013/2014 Project Carry-forward Request DEPARTMENT: Public Works BCC DISTRICT: One & Three STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Due to weather, materials complications and contractor delays, staff is requesting that the following projects be carried forward from the Road and Bridge 2012/2013 capital budget to the 2013/2014 budget to allow vendors and staff sufficient time to complete this work. The projects include: Foxwood Phase 2, Gilmore Road, Robinson Road, Lighthouse Church Road, Kervin Road and the remainder of the Cold Mix Preservation funds. BACKGROUND: The Public Works Roads Division develops an annual 5-year Capital Improvement Program Budget for roads in Okaloosa County. Funds are budgeted for specific fiscal years and the money must be carried forward from one budget year to the next (or transferred from reserves) if a project will not be completed within the specified budget year. All account numbers and previously budgeted funding will remain the same, although it should be noted that some increases in materials costs for recently bid asphalt and base material contracts have not been taken into consideration and are awaiting contract approval by the Board. If additional funding will be required to complete the projects, transfers may be requested at a later date. OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the carry-forward project list as proposed. RECOMMENDED BY: APPROVED BY: Ernie Padgett, County Administrator
