Title
RJP Enterprises Emergency Restoration Work Amendment (B)
This item is a request for City Commission approval to amend an agreement with RJP Enterprises to perform emergency restoration work to stormwater management facilities.
Explanation
Hurricane Irma damaged several stormwater facilities within the City’s limits. City Commission item 170954 authorized emergency restoration work to remove sediment from the Sweetwater Wetlands and the Tumblin Creek Sediment trap facilities. The goal of the work effort was to clean the sediment traps prior to the commencement of the 2018 hurricane season. The work was not started prior to June 1, 2018. The delay resulted in additional sediment accumulation in the sediment trap facilities and removal cost overruns of approximately 20%.
Fiscal Note
The total cost carried out under the RJP Enterprises agreement with the necessary adjustment will not exceed $610,000. The increase of $110,000 will be allocated from the undesignated Stormwater Utility Fund balance.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) authorize the City Manager, or designee to execute an amendment to the agreement with RJP Enterprises for sediment removal at Sweetwater Wetlands and Tumblin Creek, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
