Additional Scope of Work and Fee Quote for Professional Services to Develop an Alternative Truck Route Access to the Port Everglades Temporary Dredge Material Management Area (DMMA) for Utilization During the Broward County ICW Deepening Project, Broward County, FL. At the request of Port Everglades, the Navigation District has been working with Taylor Engineering to develop an alternative access road to the existing Port DMMA, On October 18, 2014, the Board reviewed and approved a Scope of Work and Fee Quote from Taylor Engineering in the amount of $49,668,25 to develop the alternative access road. On October 23, 2014 District staff, Port Everglades staff, FPL staff and officials with the City of Dania Beach met to discuss the alternative road access. As a direct result of this meeting and,a subsequent site visit, it became apparent that developing the requested alternative DMMA access road would require additional services, specifically to develop an alternative truck access route along NE 7ch Avenue that would not interfere with current traffic patterns. Taylor Engineering was requested to provide a minimum scope of work and fee quote to complete this initiative. The resultant scope is comprised largely of sub -consultant work with some oversight by Taylor Engineering. The approval of this scope, accompanied by the previously approved scope to construct the access road on FPL and Broward County property, should result in a viable alternative access road that is essential to the District's use of the Port's DMMA. (Please see back up pages 208-232) RECOMMEND; Taylor Engineering, for development of an alternate truck route along NE 7111 Avenue for access to the Port's DMMA site Broward County FL Item17.
