The request from staff for City Council is to review and consider for approval the attached deductive change order in the amount of ($24,517.86) and the final pay request in the amount of $237,976.55 from Augustine Construction, Inc., for the Orange Lake Restoration and Improvements Project ITB18-003.

As City Council is aware, historically Orange Lake has discharged stormwater into the river with minimal treatment.  In an effort to satisfy the water quality element of the City's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, Federal and State grant agreements, the dredging and removal of sediments was completed by the City in March of 2018.  Due to the special nature of dredging, it was the recommendation of the design engineer to City staff, the dredging of the lake be performed as a stand-alone project or phase 1 of the restoration and improvements to the lake.

Several other water quality elements were proposed and included in the Orange Lake Restoration and Improvements Project.  They included, the installation of  several pollution control boxes, the installation of a diffusion system, littoral zone creations, slide gates for flood control, and installation of boardwalks on the west and east sides of the lake as part of the outreach portion overlooking the littoral zone creations.  These project elements where considered as phase 2 and completed as part of this project.
