REQUESTED ACTION:
MOTION TO APPROVE: Budget Amendment 2 for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Approved Budget.
WHAT THIS ACTION ACCOMPLISHES:
This provides the required budget adjustments to adjust to add the pedestrian crossing to the design phase for the Pembroke Pines Mobility Hub Project and to make adjustments to the overall project cost allocations to the Fort Lauderdale SE 17th Street Mobility Hub Project to add funding for design, construction and CEI for adding the upgrade of the traffic signals along the corridor.
SUMMARY EXPLANATION/BACKGROUND:
Budget Amendment 2 includes updates to the following two key items:
· Pembroke Pines Mobility Hub Project – After a lengthy process and prior denials, FDOT approved a Pedestrian Signal on Pines Blvd. as part of the overall project. This requires an extension of time and changes to Work Order 1 for the CTS Engineering design services team. We are also in discussions with the City of Pembroke Pines for updates to the over project scope as the estimated costs for the current scope exceeds the overall grant budget based on the estimated project costs at the 60% plans stage. This budget amendment will allows the CTS Engineering design services to continue to complete the design. We anticipate a second budget amendment once project design is complete and construction and CEI services have been acquired and the amounts known to complete the project.
· Fort Lauderdale SE 17th Street Mobility Hub – Discussions with the City and County have yielded solid results where the County indicated construction for two signal upgrades will be added to the FY 26-27 County budget recommendation to partner with the Federal grant to provide the design and CEI services for three signal upgrades and construction of one signal upgrade. This will upgrade all major signal intersections in the project during construction of the project. This requires an update to the Work Order 1 for the CHA Consulting design team. This also adds additional construction and CEI services for the overall project. The Budget Amendment updates the overall project budget to be prepared to provide the signal upgrades design, CEI and construction.
The details are included in the Attached proposed Budget Amendment 2 to the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget on pages 6, 7, 9 and 10.
