Capital Projects Amendment
Ordinance to Accept and
Appropriate New Funding
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully requested that the City Commission approve the attached emergency ordinance
amending Capital Projects Appropriations Ordinance No. 12451, adopted on November 25, 2003, by
appropriating new funding from Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Homeland
Defense/Neighborhood Improvement Bonds (the Bonds) and Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG). The legislation also provides for the acceptance of an $85,000 grant from FDOT and the
execution of an agreement for drainage improvements along SW 64th Court.
BACKGROUND
The attached Ordinance seeks to accept funds from FDOT, in the amount of $85,000, and appropriate
said funds into CIP Project No. 341330, to be used by the Department of Capital Improvements for
drainage improvements along SW 64th Court, Job No. B-50701.
There is currently a major flooding problem in the Flaami and West End areas of the City, with the
most critical impact along SW 64th Court from SW 8th Street to SW 6th Street. Therefore, the City
sought the cooperation of FDOT for drainage improvements in the area. The City and FDOT
determined that it would be in the best interest of the general public and the citizens of the City to
enter into a Joint Participation Agreement for the stormwater improvements to SW 64th Court (from
SW 8th Street to SW 6th Street) and SW 6th Street (Intersection with SW 64th Court).
The attached Agreement provides for drainage improvements for the above mentioned area. This
project will serve as an integral part of a larger drainage improvement, providing relief for immediate
area residents until the ultimate Master Plan, which entails the addition of pump stations and new
drainage systems for the entire area, is completed in phases. The improvements for this grant project
involve removing and replacing the existing stormwater management system in the identified area
with new inlets and exfiltration trenches to reduce the volume of runoff, catch debris, and treat the
runoff within the exfiltration trenches.
The City will administer and supervise the construction of the project and FDOT will contribute
funds, in the amount of $85,000, to the City towards this project. The balance of this $183,000
project, $98,000, is available through CIP Project No. 341330, entitled "Citywide Transportation &
Transit". The attached ordinance accepts and appropriates said funds into the Capital Improvement
Plan for this fiscal year.
The Ordinance also includes appropriations from Homeland Defense/Neighborhood Improvement
Bonds and CDBG. The additional funds from the Bonds in the amount of $202,000 will be
appropriated into CIP No. 331416 entitled "Virginia Key Park Improvements" for professional
consulting services. The CDBG appropriations in the amount of $1,335,500 are pursuant to various
resolutions allocating funding for street and drainage projects throughout the City, as well as capital
improvements to the Manuel Artime Center.
Fiscal Impact:
This item has a positive fiscal impact by reducing the City's contribution to the SW 64`h Court
project, B-50701, by $85,000.
