Title
Amendment No. 1 to the Emergency Watershed Protection Program (B)
Explanation
On December 13, 2004, the City Commission authorized the Interim City Manager to execute all documents associated with the Emergency Watershed Protection Program for the Lenox Place Subdivision. Since that time, the Public Works Department has decided to utilize this funding program to include 2 additional projects: 1) debris removal to prevent flooding at Lenox Place; and 2) sediment removal to prevent flooding at Hogtown Creek. This action requires an amendment to the agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS).
As the local government sponsor applying for this additional funding, the City of Gainesville is required to provide 25% of the cost of construction and in-kind contribution of project design drawings and inspection services.
Fiscal Note
The amount authorized in the original agreement was $122,500. Amendment No. 1 increased the agreement amount by $221,000. The total revised agreement amount is $343,500. The required 25% of the cost of construction ($221,000) is estimated to be $55,250 and is available in the Stormwater Management Utility Fund capital projects accounts.
Recommendation
The City Commission authorize the Interim City Manager to execute all documents related to Amendment No. 1, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
