Okaloosa County BOCC — December 1, 2015 — Request to transfer funds to Foxwood Phase III Improvements Project. — agenda request

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST DATE: December 1, 2015 TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board FROM: Jason Autrey SUBJECT: Request to transfer funds to Foxwood Phase III Improvements Project. DEPARTMENT: Public Works BCC DISTRICT: 3 STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Foxwood Subdivision Drainage Improvement project has been a three phase project that is now in the final phase of construction. Phase III includes replacing the roadway drainage system along Golf Course Drive and Eagle Drive in the Foxwood Subdivision. BACKGROUND: The original estimate for work on all three phases of the Foxwood Storm- water drainage rehabilitation project was done in 2012 with each of the three phases estimated at $250,000. Bids for the final phase of the project were received with the low bidder coming in at $291,319.60. The overages are a result of cost increases over the time from the initial estimate and a modest correction in scope due to lessons learned from the prior two phases. Staff recommends a transfer of funds in the amount of $50,000 from the pipe lining account to offset the deficient budget while still utilizing the funding for storm-water use. OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the approval of the transfer of funds from 3202- 546648 (pipe lining) to 3202-563242 (Foxwood Ph 3). RECOMMENDED BY: APPROVED BY: John Hofstad, County Administrator
