THE PARKS AND RECREATION DIVISION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTIONS.
The Everglades Holiday Park Site Improvement project involves construction of new boat ramps, a levee wall, docks, parking, improved vehicular and pedestrian circulation, utilities infrastructure, minor buildings, site lighting, fire protection, landscaping, and irrigation. The project design phase is complete and proceeding to the bid phase. County, State and Federal environmental permits are in the final stages of approval and are expected to be issued by July 2019. Construction is expected to commence in the fall/winter of 2019.
The construction contract scope for the Everglades Holiday Park Site Improvement project is funded through multiple project numbers. The proposed reallocation of funding would include transferring funding from the Everglades Holiday Park Boat Ramp project, in the amount of $2,714,260, and funding from the Everglades Holiday Park Levee Wall project, in the amount of $1,095,214 ($31,114 from the Parks and Land Preservation Bond Fund and $1,064,100 from the General Capital Outlay Fund), to the Everglades Holiday Park Phase 1 and 2 project, which has an available budget amount of $5,727,865. After this consolidation, the new total available budget would be $9,537,339 for the Everglades Holiday Park Phase 1 and 2 project. This combination of existing construction funding to one dedicated project number is required to efficiently manage construction contractor invoicing for the overall project.
