Body
SUMMARY:
Phase III of the streetscape program will extend from Missouri Avenue to Sam Remo Avenue to the east. In addition, the streetscape will include Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard from its intersection with Cleveland Street up to the Downtown Gateway at Court Street to the south. This phase of the Cleveland Street Streetscape efforts will provide the final piece for a unified, cohesive, pedestrian-friendly corridor from the Gateway to the Downtown waterfront.
April 6, 2017, City Council approved a work order to Bellomo Herbert, for design of above ground streetscape features associated with Cleveland Streetscape Phase III in the amount of $217,520.00. Minimal underground work was included.
October 5, 2018, City Manager approved Supplemental 1 work order for review of design plans showing the streetscape improvements to determine level of effort required to design a complete roadway and utility reconstruction project, in the amount of $11,400.
During the design process it became apparent that the roadway needed a full reconstruction due to irregular cross sections and drainage issues, along with the full replacement of the potable and sanitary systems that are nearing the end of their useful life.
Bellomo Herbert and Company was purchased by GAI Consultants and are now combined as one firm. This Supplemental 2 work order is for design of a biddable plan set that includes all streetscape features, road reconstruction and utility replacement for a new work order value of $656,475.
