EXTENSION OF TOLLING AGREEMENT FOR CITY'S CLAIMS AGAINST JONES EDMUNDS REGARDING THE DESIGN AND ENGINEERING OF CERTAIN ELEMENTS OF THE SWEETWATER BRANCH/PAYNES PRAIRIE SHEETFLOW RESTORATION PROJECT (B)
explanation
On September 24, 2013, the City discovered that the sediment basin of the Sweetwater Branch/Paynes Prairie Sheetflow Restoration Project, located at 325 S.W. Williston Road, Gainesville, Florida, was not functioning as intended and as necessary for the Project. Mediation was conducted on April 12, 2017, and October 13, 2017, and a tentative settlement was reached subject to review and recommendation of the Utility Advisory Board, and approval by the City Commission. The City's last tolling agreement with Jones Edmunds, the engineer for the Sweetwater Branch/Paynes Prairie Sheetflow Restoration Project, extended the applicable Statute of Limitations date to November 13, 2017 in order to preserve the City's legal rights. The parties' representatives wish to extend the tolling period to December 15, 2017, to provide time for review and recommendation of the proposed settlement by the Utility Advisory Board and approval by the City Commission.
recommendation
The City Commission approve the Seventh Amendment to Tolling Agreement.
