Approval for Renewal of EMT /Paramedic Student Affiliation Agreement between City of Ocoee and Valencia College. (Fire Chief McNeil) The City Commission originally approved for the Ocoee Fire Department to enter into an agreement with Valencia College to provide supervised learning experiences for the College's emergency medical services students on August 5, 2008. That agreement was approved for renewal on November 2, 2010. The current agreement is set to expire on December 31, 2013. The Ocoee Fire Department would like to renew the agreement for another two year period from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2015. 5. Approval of 2013/2014 Budgeted Sanitation Side Arm Demonstrator Garbage Truck Purchase. (Public Works Director Krug) The City traditionally purchases vehicles and equipment through bids from the Florida Sheriffs Association's annual contract. Public Works has researched pricing throughout the State and has found the Florida Sheriffs Association continues to provide the lowest competitively bid pricing. The Sanitation Division budget includes the replacement of two (2) side loading garbage trucks. Following the demonstration of a Wayne Curbtender automated side arm loader on a Crane Carrier Corp. chassis, the City was offered a discounted price to purchase the demonstration unit. The discounted price of $229,900.00 includes all warranties and painting the truck in the standard City colors. The quote for the same vehicle on the Florida Sheriffs Assoc. contract is $279,900.00. This provides a $50,000.00 savings to the City's Sanitation Division. Purchasing the demonstration unit will allow Sanitation to evaluate the benefits of this manufacturer's design features for future purchases. 6. Approval of Bluford Avenue Drainage Project Property Acquisition. (Public Works Director Krug) The City has completed the design and permitting for the Bluford Avenue stornwater project extending from Columbus Street to 7th Street which will alleviate roadway flooding in this area. The project requires a small portion of additional right of way be acquired from five (5) parcels on the east side of Bluford Ave. between Orlando Ave. and 7th Street. These acquisitions incorporate a strip of land approximately thirteen feet wide, corner clips at intersections and temporary construction easements to blend the roadway improvements with the remaining property. The appraisal reports for the acquisitions have been completed. Due to the small size of the acquisitions with no severance damages found to the remainder properties, the Attorney would generally recommend proceeding with a voluntary process, however the title work indicates we may not be very successful due to a number Of issues. These issues include a pending bankruptcy, delinquent real estate taxes that exceed the value of the parcel sought to be acquired and mortgages which will require a release. Based on the title information, the Attorney is recommending the City make the statutorily required pre - condemnation offer letters at the appraised values and then proceed to eminent domain, ensuring the quickest resolution to the acquisitions. 211'a c Regular Commission Meeting November 19, 2013 7. Approval to Execute a Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation in Connection with the Widening of SR 50 from the Entrance to the West Oaks Mall to SR 429. (City Engineer Wheeler) The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is completing the detailed design plans to widen SR 50 through the City of Ocoee from the entrance to the West Oaks Mall to SR 429 (FDOT Dash 3 Project). The current schedule has this project being bid in the spring of 2014 with construction to start after July 1, 2014. The construction schedule is expected to last approximately 3 years. FDOT has agreed to allow the City of Ocoee to partner in their project and for the City to have its affected utility pipelines relocated by FDOT's contractor. Such work is done through a Utility Work by Highway Contractor (UWHC) Agreement whereby the City agrees to pay the cost of the work, based on an engineer's cost estimate approved by FDOT. Two separate UWHC Agreements are required for the utility relocations because most of the work is to be paid for by the City and some of the work is to be paid for by FDOT. G. PUBLIC HEARINGS 8. Approval of Resolution for All Sports Senior Living Project Financing Located at 11801 Roberson Road. (Advertised in the Orlando Sentinel on Tuesday, November 5, 2013) (City Attorney Cookson) Windermere Senior Living, LLC (the "Applicant ") intends to construct a senior living facility which will contain approximately 72 assisted living units and approximately 48 memory support units on 6.47 acres of property located on the north side of Roberson Road just east of the Roberson Rd. /Windermere Rd. intersection. The Applicant originally desired the assistance of the City in obtaining conduit financing pursuant to the Florida Industrial Development Financing Act, Chapter 159, Part 11, Florida Statutes (the "Act "). However, the Applicant has obtained a new financing source through the Capital Trust Agency once the Applicant and the City could not come to terms on the financing requirements. On June 18, 2013, the City took action with the adoption of a Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act Resolution (the " TEFRA Resolution "). In order to provide adequate notice to all interested parties and comply with Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code "), the Applicant desires to have the City adopt a new TEFRA Resolution in connection with the new source of financing through the Capital Trust Agency. H. REGULAR AGENDA 9. Ocoee Crown Point Letter of Interest (LOI) Discussion and Direction. (City Planner Rumer) The Mayor and City Commissioners authorized the City Attorney to advertise a request for Letter of Intent (LOI) for sale of residential land within the Ocoee Crown Point PUD. This LOI identified eight (8) criteria the Letter of Intent should provide, leaving the purchase price and closing date for the respondents to provide as their own response. This ensured that all respondents had an equal opportunity to respond with their best terms on the project. Six (6) developers responded to the LOI request. Based upon a detailed review of each respondent's LOI proposal, the City Manager with the aid of other designated staff, short listed the respondents to three for consideration to continue on for further discussions with an ultimate selection for contract negotiations.
