Title
Bricks on the Avenue Phase 2 (NB)
Explanation
As part of the Northwest 17th Street streetscape project, the CRA approved a plan to brick in the grass strip between the curb and the sidewalk from 20th Street to 13th Street in an effort to expand the width of the sidewalk and to improve the appearance of the corridor. In October 2004, the CRA approved a contract with Brown and Cullen to develop construction documents for the second phase of the project from 13th Street to 6th Street.
The project went to bid, with one bid being received from Anglin Construction for $106,000. A 10% contingency would bring the cost up to $116,600. The CRA has funds in several accounts that could be used for this project.
In order to issue the required permit, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has requested that one additional handicap ramp be added to the project. The additional $1,500 in cost will be covered out of the $116,600 requested.
Fiscal Note
The CRA has $57,009 in the University Ave/ 13th/SW 2nd Avenue account W703; $50,000 in the University Avenue Interim Improvements Account W724; $8,485.67 in the Northwest 17th Street account W709; $811.82 in Northwest 16th Street account W700; and $293.51 from the Sidewalk Account W704.
Recommendation
College Park University Heights Redevelopment Advisory Board to the CRA: Recommend approval of a not to exceed $106,000 plus 10% contingency for a total of $116,600 for the Bricks on the Avenue Phase 2, contingent upon receiving an FDOT permit.
