Subject: Additional Design and Construction Services for the Roberson Road Improvement
Project with Donald W. McIntosh Associates, Inc. — District 4 (Commissioner Rusty Johnson)
Background Summary:
The City Commission approved the Annexation and Development Agreement for the Belmere Planned
Development at the August 5, 2008, Commission meeting. As a part of that Agreement, the City agreed to
have Unicorp, Inc., the developer, design, permit, and construct certain improvements to Roberson Road.
Those improvements generally include widening to four lanes the intersection with Maguire Road and west
across the frontage of the Belmere property and included sidewalks on both sides of the road, a closed
drainage system, and a dedicated left turn lane into the Casa Mirella apartment complex. Unicorp, Inc. was to
employ their site civil engineer, Donald W. McIntosh Associates, Inc. (DWMA), to prepare the roadway
improvement plans. The City would be responsible in securing any additional right -of -way and stormwater
facilities as may be required.
City staff has decided to not pursue condemnation to obtain additional lands outside the right of way and
therefore the design for the road and related work needs to be modified. The additional design services related
to fitting the road project within the existing ROW has exceeded Unicorp's commitment to design the project.
Staff has requested proposals from DWMA to perform this additional design to modify the plans and to also
provide construction related services as may be needed during the construction of the improvements. The
plans modification proposal is in the amount of $15,300 and the construction related services proposal is in the
amount of $10,580.
The project is to be funded from the collection of the Road Impact Fees as spelled out in the Annexation and
Development Agreement from the various phases of the development. The City has already collected Road
Impact Fees from the CVS Pharmacy, commercial strip center, Day Care, and the Casa Mirella apartment
complex that total $926,453, and will collect an additional $123,723 upon completion of the last two buildings in
the apartment complex. This project is not currently funded in the City's budget.
Upon completion of the plan modifications, Unicorp will be tasked with securing bids to construct the road
improvements. In accordance with the Annexation Agreement, Unicorp is responsible for costs associated with
installing the reuse pipeline from Maguire Road to the western property line of the Casa Mirella apartment
complex and the left turn lane into the complex. The City will be reimbursing Unicorp for the remainder of the
project from the Road Impact funds collected from this project. The approval of the construction project will be
brought before the City Commission early next year.
Issue:
Should the City employ the services of Donald W. McIntosh Associates, Inc. for the purpose of modifying the
original design and for construction related services for the Roberson Road Improvements Project?
Recommendations:
The Engineering Department recommends that the City Commission secure the services of Donald W.
McIntosh Associates, Inc. for the purpose of modifying the original design and for construction related services
and authorizes staff to issue a Purchase Order in the amount of $25,880 to Donald W. McIntosh Associates,
Inc. Staff also recommends that the City Commission encumber funds from the Road Impact Fund to cover
these services.

Re: BASIS OF PROPOSAL AND CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Page 6 of 9
BASIS OF PROPOSAL AND CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Our Agreement is also based on the following
conditions and limitations:
BASIS OF PROPOSAL
The CLIENT is advised that concurrency management and
comprehensive plan consistency will impact the land
development process. Regulations regarding concurrency
and consistency vary according to governmental
jurisdiction. The status of concurrency, consistency and, if
applicable, vested rights must be addressed for all projects
within the State of Florida. DWMA presumes the
CLIENT is aware of the issues and resultant impacts
described. DWMA disclaims responsibility for delays that
may be encountered due to failure on the part of the
CLIENT to address concurrency and consistency issues
prior to initiation of Services proposed herein.
DWMA is not responsible for changes to the approved
plans that may alter the concurrency vesting status or for
noncompliance on the part of the property owner with
regard to the performance terms and conditions established
in the vesting certificate.
DWMA will not be responsible for any circumstances,
acts, errors, omissions or events, of any type, beyond its
control including, without limitation, construction costs,
the acts or failures to act of any governmental or judicial
agency, or the existence of hazardous waste of any type
associated with the Project. No Services associated with
hazardous waste of any type are included in any way in
this Agreement.
If construction services or observation of construction are
included herein, the Services included by DWMA will be
to conduct periodic visits and observations to determine
that the Work generally conforms or will conform to the
applicable contract documents in relation to DWMA's
engineering Services.
DWMA's Service shall not include determining,
supervising, implementing, or undertaking the
responsibilities of the contractor, subcontractors or others,
regarding means, methods, techniques, sequences and
procedures of construction, nor for job conditions, safety
precautions or programs.
Without limitation, architectural, traffic engineering (e.g.,
studies, signalization), structural engineering (e.g.,
retaining walls, bridges, docks), mechanical engineering
(e.g., fire pumps), fire protection engineering, geotechnical
engineering and testing, environmental assessment,
landscape and irrigation design, non -civil utility
engineering (e.g., power, gas, telephone, cable television,
site lighting) and any other professional or consultant
F:10ontract'P \cp l 1290. doc
services required by CLIENT and not undertaken by
DWMA, shall be retained separately by the CLIENT.
DWMA may be mandated by regulatory authorities to
incorporate findings, requirements and details of design in
their construction plans that are prepared by professional
geotechnical engineers and not by DWMA. In doing so,
DWMA assumes no responsibility or liability for the
design, construction or operation of geotechnical
engineering components which may include, but not be
limited to, underdrains, ground stabilizers, backfills,
embankments, etc. CLIENT must also recognize that
some of these systems (i.e., underdrains, etc.) usually
require extensive field supervision during construction and
certification after construction. These systems are subject
to damage by other activities during or after infrastructure
construction such as other utility installations (power,
telephone, cable, gas, etc.). DWMA assumes no liability
for damages to any design element caused by the improper
design, construction, operation or maintenance of
improvements designed by others.
No Services are included in this Agreement other than
those specifically listed herein.
No application or submittal for arbor or tree removal
permits is included unless specifically listed in Basic
Services.
Permits and services related to wetlands, threatened or
endangered species, or archaeological related issues, are
not included other than any specifically listed in Basic
Services.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Map
revisions or amendments which may be required by
regulatory agencies or lenders are not included unless
specifically listed in Basic Services.
If locating underground utilities is expressly included in
the Services, we will endeavor to identify those
companies /sery ices in the subject area that may identify
such utilities. DWMA cannot and does not guarantee or
warranty that unidentified utilities will not be encountered.
Services do not include the preparation of Maintenance of
Traffic (M.O.T.) plans for onsile or offske construction.
Any opinion of construction cost prepared by DWMA
represents its judgment as a design professional and is
supplied for the general guidance of the CLIENT only
since DWMA has no control over the cost of labor and
material or over competitive bidding or market conditions.
DWMA does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy of
such opinions.

Re: BASIS OF PROPOSAL AND CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Page 6 of 9
BASIS OF PROPOSAL AND CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Our Agreement is also based on the following
conditions and limitations:
BASIS OF PROPOSAL
The CLIENT is advised that concurrency management and
comprehensive plan consistency will impact the land
development process. Regulations regarding concurrency
and consistency vary according to governmental
jurisdiction. The status of concurrency, consistency and, if
applicable, vested rights must be addressed for all projects
within the State of Florida. DWMA presumes the
CLIENT is aware of the issues and resultant impacts
described. DWMA disclaims responsibility for delays that
may be encountered due to failure on the part of the
CLIENT to address concurrency and consistency issues
prior to initiation of Services proposed herein.
DWMA is not responsible for changes to the approved
plans that may alter the concurrency vesting status or for
noncompliance on the part of the property owner with
regard to the performance terms and conditions established
in the vesting certificate.
DWMA will not be responsible for any circumstances,
acts, errors, omissions or events, of any type, beyond its
control including, without limitation, construction costs,
the acts or failures to act of any governmental or judicial
agency, or the existence of hazardous waste of any type
associated with the Project. No Services associated with
hazardous waste of any type are included in any way in
this Agreement.
If construction services or observation of construction are
included herein, the Services included by DWMA will be
to conduct periodic visits and observations to determine
that the Work generally conforms or will conform to the
applicable contract documents in relation to DWMA's
engineering Services.
DWMA's Service shall not include determining,
supervising, implementing, or undertaking the
responsibilities of the contractor, subcontractors or others,
regarding means, methods, techniques, sequences and
procedures of construction, nor for job conditions, safety
precautions or programs.
Without limitation, architectural, traffic engineering (e.g.,
studies, signalization), structural engineering (e.g.,
retaining walls, bridges, docks), mechanical engineering
(e.g., fire pumps), fire protection engineering, geotechnical
engineering and testing, environmental assessment,
landscape and irrigation design, non -civil utility
engineering (e.g., power, gas, telephone, cable television,
site lighting) and any other professional or consultant
F: \Contract \P \cp 11291. doc
services required by CLIENT and not undertaken by
DWMA, shall be retained separately by the CLIENT.
DWMA may be mandated by regulatory authorities to
incorporate findings, requirements and details of design in
their construction plans that are prepared by professional
geotechnical engineers and not by DWMA. In doing so,
DWMA assumes no responsibility or liability for the
design, construction or operation of geotechnical
engineering components which may include, but not be
limited to, underdrains, ground stabilizers, backfills,
embankments, etc. CLIENT must also recognize that
some of these systems (i.e., underdrains, etc.) usually
require extensive field supervision during construction and
certification after construction. These systems are subject
to damage by other activities during or after infrastructure
construction such as other utility installations (power,
telephone, cable, gas, etc.). DWMA assumes no liability
for damages to any design element caused by the improper
design, construction, operation or maintenance of
improvements designed by others.
No Services are included in this Agreement other than
those specifically listed herein.
No application or submittal for arbor or tree removal
permits is included unless specifically listed in Basic
Services.
Permits and services related to wetlands, threatened or
endangered species, or archaeological related issues, are
not included other than any specifically listed in Basic
Services.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Map
revisions or amendments which may be required by
regulatory agencies or lenders are not included unless
specifically listed in Basic Services.
If locating underground utilities is expressly included in
the Services, we will endeavor to identify those
companies /services in the subject area that may identify
such utilities. DWMA cannot and does not guarantee or
warranty that unidentified utilities will not be encountered.
Services do not include the preparation of Maintenance of
Traffic (M_O.T.) plans for onsite or offsite construction.
Any opinion of construction cost prepared by DWMA
represents its judgment as a design professional and is
supplied for the general guidance of the CLIENT only
since DWMA has no control over the cost of labor and
material or over competitive bidding or market conditions.
DWMA does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy of
such opinions.
