SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title

Body
SUMMARY:
The original contract was approved by City Council on February 16, 2017, in the amount of $527,468.98. Central Florida was the lowest responsible bidder. The contract included two one-year renewals. Council approved adding $527.468 in 2018 and $1,400,000 in 2019, with the final extension expiring June 30, 2020. No additional funds are needed for this proposed extension.
Due to the COVID-19 stay at home mandate, the contractor was not able to acquire necessary materials to complete citywide projects and city staff were also delayed in advertising the new annual contract. This time extension will allow the current contractor to continue work, utilizing the remaining contract funds and provide time to advertise a new annual sidewalk contract.
This project scope includes significant amounts of American Disabilities Act (ADA) related upgrades as well as repair and replacement work to existing sidewalks, curbing and driveway aprons throughout Clearwater.
The contractor has performed well and agrees to honor the unit prices established in the original 2017 bid.
