SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Approve construction contract with Lovin Construction, Inc., in the amount of $464,169.20, for the construction of a culvert on Cooper’s Point Channel at Damascus Road and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
Body
SUMMARY:
The existing pipes under Damascus Road were identified as a chokepoint in the Cooper’s Point Master Plan. This project replaces those pipes with a large box culvert.
The project was determined to be impractical to bid based upon required coordination with the construction of Nova Southeastern University by the contractor currently on-site, the University planned critical opening date, and conflicts associated with two contractors managed by different owners working on the same site simultaneously.
The University will begin making improvements to Damascus Road after the first of the year. The culvert will be constructed at that time, prior to enhancements to the rest of the channel.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
ENST180005-CONS-CNSTRC $464,169.20
Funds are available in capital improvement project ENST180005, Coastal Basins, to fund this contract.
