CITY OF OCOEE AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET Date: September 1, 2004 Meeting Date: September 7, 2004 Subject: Road Closure of Brushy Creek Court Issue: The City has received a request to temporarily close Brushy Creek Court to allow for Prime Construction Group, Inc. to use this area for an office trailer location and equipment and material storage site. Therefore, the Public Works Department is requesting that the City Commission approve of the closure of Brushy Creek Court for a duration from September 2004 until May 2006,the projected completion end date for the Old Winter Garden Road Improvements Project. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Commission approve the request to temporarily close Brushy Creek Court from September 2004 until May 2006 to allow Prime Construction Group, Inc. to locate theirs and the City's project office trailers there and to use the area for equipment and material storage. Background Summary: Prime Construction Group, Inc. (PCG, Inc.) is the contractor constructing the improvements to Old Winter Garden Road and Professional Parkway. PCG, Inc. has looked for a site along the project limits and has been unable to secure a location to set up theirs and the City's office trailers for the project offices. This is a condition of the project's contract documents to have on- site offices for the contractor and the City personnel for the project. Brushy Creek Court is a short cul-de-sac running south of and intersecting with Professional Parkway. This road will ultimately become the south leg of a four way signalized intersection with the realigned Bluford Avenue between SR 50 and Old Winter Garden Road. There are currently no developed lots on Brushy Creek Court; the surrounding property is part of the Heller Brothers development south of Professional Parkway. PCG, Inc. has agreed to maintain the site and to perform any repairs required to return the site to its original condition upon completion of the project. Cleaning and repair of the right-of-way and roadway will be a condition of project completion. The site is located in the approximate center of the project and is probably the only available undeveloped property along the project corridor. The site will be fenced along the right-of-way limits to prohibit any incursion on to the Heller Brothers property. Staff does not foresee any problem with allowing PCG, Inc. to use the Brushy Creek Court right- of-way for its location of PCG's and the City's office trailers from September 2004 until the project completion date of May 2006 or longer as required. This similar type request was made for Wharton-Smith, Inc. for the construction of the new Fire Station No. 1. Fiscal Impacts: The fiscal impacts to the City are the ability to keep the Old Winter Garden Road project costs to an acceptable level. The contractor has agreed to keep the site clean and repair any damge to existing facilities prior to completion of the project. Commission Action: Reviewed by City Manager '�..

Wheeler, P.E.4 4/ Director of Public Works DATE: August 31, 2004 RE: Temporary Road Closure of Brushy Creek Court ISSUE The City has received a request to temporarily close Brushy Creek Court to allow for Prime Construction Group, Inc. to use this area for an office trailer location and equipment and material storage site. Therefore, the Public Works Department is requesting that the City Commission approve of the closure of Brushy Creek Court for a duration from September 2004 until May 2006,the projected completion end date for the Old Winter Garden Road Improvements Project. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Prime Construction Group, Inc. (PCG, Inc.) is the contractor constructing the improvements to Old Winter Garden Road and Professional Parkway. PCG, Inc. has looked for a site along the project limits and has been unable to secure a location to set up theirs and the City's office trailers for the project offices. This is a condition of the project's contract documents to have on- site offices for the contractor and the City personnel for the project. Unfortunately, PCG, Inc. has not been able to secure a site along the project at a reasonable cost. Heller Brothers offered a tract off of Brushy Creek Court, but the cost is prohibitive. Heller Brothers had some problems with Ryan, Inc. who was the contractor on the Maguire Road project, so they are probably a little hesitant it working with another contractor. Brushy Creek Court is a short cul-de-sac running south of and intersecting with Professional Parkway. This road will ultimately become the south leg of a four way signalized intersection with the realigned Bluford Avenue between SR 50 and Old Winter Garden Road. There are currently no developed lots on Brushy Creek Court; the surrounding property is part of the Heller Brothers development south of Professional Parkway. Heller Brothers does not have any problem if the City allows PCG, Inc. to locate their trailers and storage area in the road right-of-way. Heller Brothers will probably not be developing the lots off of Brushy Creek Court until after the road improvements project is completed. PCG, Inc. has agreed to maintain the site and to perform any repairs required to return the site to its original condition upon completion of the project. Cleaning and repair of the right-of-way and roadway will be a condition of project completion. The site is located in the approximate center of the project and is probably the only available undeveloped property along the project corridor. The site will be fenced along the right-of-way limits to prohibit any incursion on to the Heller Brothers property. Staff does not foresee any problem with allowing PCG, Inc. to use the Brushy Creek Court right- of-way for its location of PCG's and the City's office trailers from September 2004 until the project completion date of May 2006 or longer as required.
