...body
EXPLANATION: The Wellington Environmental Greenway Project provides a new 8 ft. to 10 ft. wide paved multi-use path paralleling Flying Cow Road from the Wellington Environmental Preserve to approximately 900 feet south of Southern Boulevard. The path will connect to the new C-23 multi-use path near the south end (just north of the Wellington Environmental Preserve) and a new Binks Forest multi-use path near the north end, creating connectivity to the multi-use path system in Wellington. Shade structures and landscaping will be provided along the path. A condensed version of the project plans is provided as Exhibit A.
This project primarily is funded by a Local Agency Program (LAP) Grant administered by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Wellington's Council approved the formal agreement with FDOT for this project on February 10, 2015. Pursuant to the agreement, Wellington must adhere to the requirements of FDOT, including stringent reporting requirements (payroll - Davis Bacon Act, disadvantaged business participation) and construction standards. In an effort to ensure compliance with these provisions and receipt of grant proceeds, staff required contractors to be FDOT certified and to have a minimum of five (5) years' experience with similar projects.
On March 23, 2015, Wellington released ITB #001-15/DZ on Demandstar. The solicitation was also advertised in the Palm Beach Post and posted on Wellington's website. On April 29, 2015, three (3) proposals were received.
