RESOLUTION NO. 09-18$
A RESOI.UTION OF THE BDARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF ST. LUCIE COUNTY, F~ORIDA,
FINDING THAT IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE
CITIZENS OF ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA, TO ALLOW
FORMAL BIDS ON COURTHOVSE ANNEX PHASE 1-A
PROJECT AS LOCAL ECONOMIC STIMUWS PROJECTS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ORDINANCE NQ. 09-008.
WHEREAS, the St. Lucie County Board of Caunty Commissioners has made the
following determinations:
1. On April 21, 2009, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 09-OQ8. 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 Na. Q9-119, which provided
for a list of local economic stimulus pro jects. The list includes the Courthouse Annex
Phase 1-A project.
3. The estimated cost of the pro ject is two million six hundred thousand
($2,600,OOO.QO) and time to complete the pro ject is nine to twelve months.
4. Based on the publication Estimates of Job Creation From The American
Recovery 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 pro ject is
approximately 18.09 and the number of induced job years created by the pro ject is
approximately 10.17. 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 pro ject. Induced jobs are jobs
created elsewhere in the economy as increased income from the direct government
spending lead 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 Courthouse Annex
Phase 1-A project will provide a significant local economic stimulus.

authorize for formal bids for Gourthouse Annex Phase 1-A pro ject as a local stimulus
project, after publishing a notice of such hearing in the St. Lucie News Tribune on June
18, 2009.
9. It is in the best interests of the citizens of St. Lucie County, Florida, to
award the Gourthouse Annex Phase 1-A pro ject to an appropriately licensed private sector
contractor who fulfills the criteria as set forth in Ordinance No. 09-008.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA:
