WHEREAS, the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners has made the following determinations: 1. On April 21, 2009, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 09-008. The Board determined that a state of local economic emergency exists which necessitates a local economic stimulus program. 2. On April 28, 2009, the Board adopted Resolution No. 09-119, which provided for a list of local economic stimulus projects. The list includes the Admiral Street at Cortez Boulevard and Esplanade Court at Cortez Boulevard project. 3. The estimated cost of the Admiral Street at Cortez Boulevard and Esplanade Court at Cortez Boulevard project is $550,000.00. The estimated time to complete the project is 60 days. 4. Based on the publication Estimates of Job Creation From The American Recover~and Reinvestment Act of 2009, published by the U.S. Council of Economic Advisors, the number of job years directly and indirectly created by the project is approximately 3.83 and the number of induced job years created by the project is approximately 2.15. A job year is defined as employment in one job for one year. Direct jobs are jobs created in the actual government-sponsored project. Indirect jobs are jobs created at suppliers who make materials used in the project. Induced jobs are jobs created elsewhere in the economy as increased income from the direct government spending leads to additional increases in spending by workers and firms. 5. Unless waived, the Contractor would be required to hire a minimum of 75% local laborers and subcontractors and purchase materials from 75% local vendors. 6. Based on the above, the Board has determined that the Admiral Street at Cortez Boulevard and Esplanade Court at Cortez Boulevard project will provide a significant local economic stimulus. 7. The contract will be awarded through competitive sealed biddin~ from licensed, responsible contractors. 8. On June 16, 2009, the Board held a public hearin~ to consider whether to authorize for bids for Admiral Street at Cortez Boulevard and Esplanade Court at Cortez Boulevard project as a local stimulus project, after publishing a notice of such hearing in the St. Lucie News Tribune on June 3, 2009.
