| TO: | City of New Port Richey City Council | | FROM: | Robert M Rivera, Public Works Director | | DATE: | 6/4/2019 | | RE: | 2017 Hemlock Dr. Stormwater System Improvements Project Close Out |
REQUEST:
The request of staff for the City Council is to review and approve the attached deductive change order in the amount of $(12,624.32) and final pay request in the amount of $68,778.68 from Augustine Construction, Inc.
DISCUSSION:
As City Council may recall, on August 5, 2014 City Council approved the purchase of two (2) residential properties located at 5135 and 5143 Hemlock Dr. with the use of Stormwater Utility Assessment Fee dollars. The purchase of these properties was an effort by staff to reduce repetitive flooding in the northern area of the Heights neighborhood.
This project included the construction of a stormwater pond, street inlets, and a stormwater pond overflow structure connecting into an existing Florida Department of Transportation stormwater system. While this type of project will not eliminate the flooding of streets, it is considered a “betterment” due to the reduction of street flooding frequency and street closures associated with stormwater flooding.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the deductive change order and final pay request is recommended.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding is identified Stormwater Utility Assessment fee dollars in the amount of $38,778.68 account No. 002103-46399 and a State co-operative grant funding administered through the SWFWMD in the amount of $30,000.
