The request of staff for City Council is to review and consider for approval the Final Deductive Change Order in the amount of seven thousand five hundred sixty-one dollars and sixty-one cents ($7,561.61) and the Final Pay Request in the amount of ninety-eight thousand five hundred forty-four dollars and forty-nine cents $98,544.49 from Florida Safety Contractors, Inc. for the completion of the 2014/2015 Plathe Road Improvements Project.     

As Council may recall, this project was the result of Council's directive to construct a paved surface to the Grey Preserve.  Subsequent to the inter-local agreement transferring ownership of the unimproved road from the County to the City, the road paving project was designed and advertised for competitive bidding.  Florida Safety Contractors, Inc. submitted a low bid of three hundred twenty-nine thousand four hundred ninety-one dollars and zero cents $329,491.00 and was awarded the project by City Council during its June 16, 2015 regularly scheduled meeting.  A notice to proceed was agreed on by both parties and construction started on July 27, 2015.  The project was completed and a substantial completion was issued to the contractor from the City on October 26, 2015.  This project was constructed in accordance with the contract documents and completed under the do not exceed bid amount approved by City Council.
