Yellow - Proposed Phase 3

  Orange - Phase 1 and 2 (completed in 2018 and 2021) 

  

This project is part of the comprehensive sidewalk plan for the southern area of the Immokalee Community. Phases 1 and 2 were completed in 2018 and 2021.  This phase will further the goal to provide an interconnected sidewalk network to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety, connecting residential areas to community facilities and commercial services.  


Phase 3 will consist of constructing 6-foot-wide concrete sidewalks as well as drainage improvements associated with the sidewalks, along Eustis Street and W. Delaware from South 5th Street to South 1st Street (approximately 2500 linear feet).     


Agnoli, Barber and Brundage (ABB) has been selected to complete the design and permitting for this project. The ICRA has been tentatively awarded federal appropriations grant funds in the estimated amount of $987,000 for the construction portion of this project. 

  

On December 13, 2022, the Board of County Commissions (BCC) approved the Application and executed the federal forms for the Application. The Application was submitted on December 21, 2022, to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Application package included the Key Contacts Form, Project Narrative, Project Budget, and three (3) Federal Forms (Standard Form SF-424, SF-424D and SF-LLL).


The total cost for the Eustis & Delaware Project (design and construction) was estimated at $1.14M. The Immokalee Beautification MSTU and the Immokalee CRA will partner on this project.
 

Notice to proceed was issued to ABB on August 16,2021. ABB finalized their 100% design plans on September 8, 2022, and provided an Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Costs in the amount of $1,007,822.50.

 

Total  Municipal Solutions, Inc. (TMS) is the Project’s Certified Engineer & Inspector (CEI). TMS submitted a finalized Proposal for CEI Services in the amount of $101,215.60 and is on hold until the Grant Agreement requirements are finalized and the solicitation for a General Contractor is completed so the work may commence.  

 

The Environmental Review was completed reflecting no significant impact and the County Manager’s letters were sent by the Community Human Services Division to the tribal leaders for comment. The Tribal 30-day comments period expired on May 24, 2023. Staff prepared the required Notices for the Environmental Review Report for publication on August 22, 2023, for a 15-day public comments period. The  Request for Release of Funds and Certificate (RROF) was submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review on September 1, 2023. Upon OMB’s approval the  RROF  it will be forwarded to the County Manager for execution as the Responsible Entity. Thereafter the Environmental Review Report and the executed RROF will be sent to  HUD’s Regional Field Officer in Miami, Florida for approval. 


The County cannot commit or spend funds (HUD or non-HUD funds) on hard costs or take any choice limiting actions until the project completes an Environmental Review. Examples of choice limiting action include, but are not limited to, entering a contract for construction or physical work on the project. Failure to comply with the prohibition on choice limiting actions can result in forfeiture of grant funds.


The environmental review process is completed when the Responsible Entity certifies the review and the RROF is approved by HUD’s CPD Field Office Director through the issuance of the Standard Form 7015.16 Authority to Use Grant Funds. The environmental review process is complete when certified by the HUD authorizing officer in Washington, D.C.

 

HUD provided Collier County with a corrected Grant Agreement on May 31, 2023. The  Grant Agreement was reviewed by the County Attorney’s Office.  An Executive Summary is being prepared for the Grant Agreement to be executed  on the September 26, 2023, or the October 10, 2023, BCC Agenda.  

  

Staff shall draft a Scope of Work for the Invitation to Bid Solicitation for Contractors to bid on the project. The Scope of Work shall be reviewed by Procurement Services. Upon approval of the environmental review process, Procurement Services may proceed with the advertisement for bids. The estimated date for the award of the construction contract is April/May 2024 with eight (8) months for construction of the project.
