Mediated Settlement. (Assistant City Attorney Solik)
Request for approval of mediated settlement agreement in case of City of Ocoee v. Lakendon. et aI.,
Parcel 102, Lakendon. This case is an eminent domain action to acquire the ROW necessary to
construct the Maguire Road Phase V project.
6. CDBG Project Agreement for Pioneer Key I Mobile Home Park Reconstruction.
(project Manager Butler)
The City of Ocoee applied for and was awarded a total of $1.2 million to undertake a public
infrastructure reconstruction project in the Pioneer Key I Mobile Home Park under the Orange County
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, a federally funded initiative. Proposed
improvements include upgrades to roads, storm water management, potable water service, and sanitary
sewer utilities. Construction plans are presently being prepared by Inwood Engineering at City
expense, as were plans for other project components, such as reconstructing Lift Station 22 and
connecting the Pioneer Key I storm sewer system to the recently constructed Pioneer Key Regional
Stormwater Treatment Pond. Orange County has asked the City to be responsible for bidding the work
and providing progress payments to the selected contractor as work is accomplished. Orange County
will reimburse the City as payments are made. Having the City shoulder front-line responsibilities for
design, procurement, and construction provides the greatest chance for success. The City Engineer
recommends that the City Commission authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Project
Agreement as the most efficient way for the City to make improvements to this area.
7. Approval to Amend the Lift Station 7 and SR 50 Force Main Relocation Project
Inspection Contract with DRMP, Inc., to Extend the Period of Service by an
Additional 200 Hours, Resulting in an Additional Fee of $12,400.00. (project
Manager Butler)
The construction phase of the project during which DRMP is to provide inspection services is nearing
completion. Due to changes to the scope of the project, the construction phase has extended longer
than expected and additional inspection hours are required to complete the work. In response to the
City's request for the period of inspection to be expanded, DRMP has provided a supplemental
proposal in the amount of$12,400.00 for 200 additional hours of work.
