Body
SUMMARY:
In 2008, the City and Pinellas County studied the feasibility of a joint-use city/county facility. City and county staff believe that in order to move forward with a conversation about the possibility of such a venture and the future of a number of city and county sites in downtown Clearwater, an update to that 2008 study is needed. This tri-party agreement determines the funding for the update and the responsibilities of each entity. The City of Clearwater and Pinellas County will split the cost of the update, with each party funding the study to an amount not to exceed $37,434.00, for a combined not to exceed amount of $74,868.00.
The County will be responsible for contracting with the consultant (Williamson Dacar), managing the contract, and paying all invoices, as well as providing the City all deliverables.
The City will provide the county with a liaison for the project who will provide information and pay invoices submitted by the county consistent with the agreement
All parties to the agreement will also be responsible for providing a professional review of the deliverables.
PSTA is a party to the agreement because part of one of the sites being reviewed is owned by PSTA, however PSTA is not being asked to participate financially.
