Authorization
REQUEST: Public Works Department Reporting on the Status of the Winding Hollow Traffic
Signal and Requesting Direction as the Commission Deems Appropriate.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is for the City Commission to determine what direction
to give staff in order for the developer's contractor to complete the installation of the
Winding Hollow traffic signal.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
This agenda item is needed to determine if the City Commission wants to advance the
financial obligations of the developer to the contractor for work completed on the Winding
Hollow traffic signal. The contractor will not complete the work until all outstanding invoices
are paid and a commitment for payment of the balance of the work is in place.
The City Commission authorized staff to participate in the construction costs of the
Winding Hollow traffic signal on February 12,2001. The City's share is $39,889.80 for the
Parkstone portion of the intersection and the decorative mast arm upgrade. The Pizzuti
Companies entered into a contract for $143,329.85 with Chinchor Electric, Inc. on May I,
200 I for the construction of the signal. City staff authorized an increase of $2,000 to the
City's share for the addition of a westbound left turn signal and conversion of the control
cabinet to a black round top. To date, Chinchor has billed Pizzuti for $88,313.75 since
November and has not received payment. Remobilization fees of $2,500 and late fees of
approximately $2,000 are now being added to the project. Pizzuti indicated to the City
Manager on March 1 ih that payment was forthcoming, but it hasn't happened.
