Authorization
REQUEST: Public Works Department is requesting City Commission authorization to
construct a 5-foot wide sidewalk on Northern Way at the Fairway Oaks
subdivision and to increase the project contingency of the Dyson Drive Sidewalk
Project by $25,000.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to request City Commission authorization to
construct a 5-foot wide sidewalk on Northern Way at the Fairway Oaks subdivision
and to increase the project contingency of the Dyson Drive Sidewalk Project by
$25,000.
CONSIDERATIONS:
. At the January 22,2007 City Commission meeting, the Commission approved a construction
contract with Southland Construction in the amount of$506,743.30 plus a 10% contingency
of$50,674 to construct 5-foot wide sidewalks on both sides of Dyson Drive, piggybacking
off of Seminole County's 2007 Public Works Construction Contract CC-1075-061.
. This agenda item proposes to increase the project contingency by $25,000 to a total of
$75,674 and authorize construct a 5-foot wide sidewalk on Northern Way along the Fairway
Oaks subdivision frontage (see Exhibit 1). The total length of the proposed Northern Way
sidewalk segment is approximately 1,200 LF, and it connects to existing sidewalks at both
ends.
. Preliminary pricing from Southland Construction indicates the proposed Northern Way
sidewalk segment will cost approximately $50,000. Final pricing is subject to City and
Seminole County approval per the terms of the lnterlocal Agreement with the County. The
additional $25,000 is requested to ensure that the additional sidewalk segment does not
consume the entire project contingency.
. The entire sidewalk segment is located in the Northern Way right-of-way. A block wall
separates the right-of-way from the Fairway Oaks lots along the entire sidewalk route. A
crosswalk will be provided where the sidewalk crosses the Fairway Oaks main entrance.
