ANAL YSIS:
On September 22, 1999, the Mayor and City Commission authorized the award of a contract in the
amount of $390,045.70 to Vila and Son Landscaping Corporation for the rehabilitation of Lummus
Park.
In July of 1999, a Construction Permit Application, regarding the proposed improvements to the park
was filed before the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. In mid September 1999, the
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) imposed certain conditions for the issuance
of the permit. Among those, 83 square yards of ADA compliant paver-block walkway proposed
seaward of the erosion control line had to be deleted, and 405 concrete square yards of concrete walk
as well as 694 square yards of concrete base for the playground safety surfacing tiles needed to be
replaced with frangible materials.
AGENDA ITEM elM....
12-\ s-ct9
These mandatory FDEP revisions were made to the construction documents by the City's consultant
and the cost to do the same negotiated with the contractor by City Staff and the City's consultants.
As a result, the City received a credit of$6,897.30 for the deleted work required by FDEP. At the
same time, a Change Order increase in the amount of $24,840.45 was issued for the additional work.
The Administration, in order to avoid a delay in the construction of this project, allowed the
contractor to continue with the revised scope of the work while seeking a retroactive approval from
the Commission.
Change Order No.2 is to plant an additional 45 Maypan Coconut Palms each with 5' gray wood,
20 Maypan Coconut Palms each with 10' gray wood and to install the additional irrigation necessary
to water the new palms. The installation of these new elements will further highlight the current
design composed of 389 trees of the aforementioned species, seagrape trees, sod, irrigation and
playground area. The total cost for this Change Order is $38,475. The City's consultants have
evaluated those Change Orders and agree with the cost estimates submitted.
Funding is available from the saving resulted, due to the fact that the lowest bidder, Vila and Son
Landscaping Corporation's lump sum proposal came below the City's allocated construction budget
estimate. The City is seeking authorization to approve those Change Orders.
The City Commission should adopt the Resolution.
