Department:Utilities Caption:Notice of Award of an Emergency Task Order in the Amount of $379,560.30 for the Highway 56 24" Water Main - Phase II project by Blair Construction Co. Inc. Background:In December 2013 AUD was informed by AED that the Marvin Griffin Ph. 2 project was scheduled to go to bid in February 2014 or March 2014, thereby making the start of construction in May or June. At that time, the required feed from Highway 56 was not complete and would need to be in place for the utility work associated with the Marvin Griffin Ph. 2 project. AUD coordinated with AED on the work required to connect the existing infrastructure, and thereby provided the feed for the new 16-inch water line scheduled to be installed during the Marvin Griffin Ph. 2 project. Due to the time constraints, AUD determined the work would need to be done as an emergency task order to ensure the infrastructure was in place for the projected construction start date. AUD tasked Blair Construction based upon their prior execution and familiarity of the associated Highway 56 work completed North and South of Marvin Griffin Road (Sprint Gas Station). AUD’s contractor, Blair Construction, started the work after the Masters Tournament was complete on April 15, substantial completion was on May 13 and final acceptance of this project was on August 26, 2014. Analysis:Due to the urgency of the situation, AUD instructed Blair Construction Co., Inc. to mobilize to the project site and construct the infrastructure at a cost of $379,560.30. Financial Impact:$379,560.30, under account number 507043490- 5425410/88886666-5425410 Alternatives:No alternatives are recommended.

FTD has requested that AUD install a fence and gate, to safeguard their property.
