CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of September 22, 2008 - Regular Meeting Page 16 of 2] MOTION: Commissioner Miner moved to approve Ordinance 08- 1252 on first reading as amended. Motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Hufford. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 5 - O. 11. RESOLUTIONS A. Resolution 08-1926 - Change Order No. I to the Agreement with CDM. Inc. for Additional Design Services for Lake Concord Stormwater Park! Anniversary Park The City Clerk read Resolution 08-1926 by title as follows: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF CHANGE ORDER NO.1 TO AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN CDM, INC. AND THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING DESIGN AND PERMITTING SERVICES FOR THE LAKE CONCORD STORMWATER PARK (ALSO KNOWN AS ANNIVERSARY PARK) PROJECT; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: Ms. Barbara Lipscomb, City Manager, stated Resolution 08-1926 provides for additional engineering design services for the redevelopment of Lake Concord Stormwater Park! Anniversary Park. Several unexpected engineering and permitting challenges have arisen as a result of the design process including minimizing wetland impacts due to the proposed boardwalk and park construction, as well as design of stormwater retrofit elements that would blend well with the park. Requirements from St. Johns River Water Management District have resulted in the need to reduce the size of the boardwalk and adjust its geometry. Additional information regarding lightning and other impacts is also being required by the Water Management District. Staff has determined that additional lighting and audio wiring should be provided at this time and changes to the interactive water feature, cafe area, landscaping, boardwalk railing, and stage area have also been recommended in order to provide a park that blends well with the City Center and other infrastructure improvements. Changes to the stomrwater retrofits and structural elements have also been requested to provide systems that are more environmentally responsible and blend better with the park. These elements were not fully addressed in the conceptual plans. Budget Impact: CDM has provided a proposal for additional services not to exceed $77,773. Included in this cost is $5,597 for an optional second response to St. Johns River Water Management District. Should such a response not be required, the total for additional services under this change order would be $72,176. This change order will be funded from one of the capital outlay schedule items in the Storm water Utility Fund for the park in the Fiscal Year 2008 budget Account 110-740-539-67.84, total $450,000 designated). This will lower the amount of Storm water Utility funds available for construction of the park. The Public Works Department has applied for several additional grants to supplement funding. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Public Works Director recommended approval of Resolution 08-1926.
