Park Presentation-Mr. David Barth: Mr. Barth of Glatting Lopez Karcher Anglin and Jim Van Ostran of Webb & Associates, Civil Engineers, were present and spoke to the Commission about the Central Winds Park. Mr. Barth said we are here to tell you that we are ready to go to bid for the first phase of construction for Central Winds Park. Mr. Barth prepared a project update that has three parts, an update of the documents themselves, an update of the budget and an update of the schedule. Mr. Barth explained the contract documents are between the City, Contractor and Glatting Lopez which have been reviewed by Staff, and pending any additional comments by the City Attorney, that part is complete. The second part of the Bidding Documents is the set of Construction Plans. He explained the Commission has already seen the Design Development set, and this is a refinement of those, and they have been reviewed by Staff. The third component are the technical specifications, Volumes 1 and 2, Volume 1 is the Site Improvements and Volume 2 is the Architectural Improvements. These also have been reviewed by Staff. Mr. Barth said the only issue regarding completion of the documents under Item 1 is that we are still in the midst of discussion with Florida Dept. of Transportation regarding improvements to State Road 434. Mr. Barth said what they are proposing to do if the Commission is in agreement to bid the project is to separate out the improvements on SR 434 as a separate bid package. . Jim Van Ostran, John B. Webb & Associates, spoke about their meetings with D.O.T. He said basically what D.O.T. has done is lengthen the tapers, lengthen the turning lanes and there is a tremendous cross section as far as the amount of asphalt they want on the road. Mr. Van Ostran said we have talked a lot and the costs are higher than what we want. He said they are trying to get the costs down because this will be bypassed in about three years. . Regular Meeting, City Commission, May 13, 1991 Page 2 90-91-16 Mr. Barth estimated the cost of the Phase 1 at $2,574,144.00.
