AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: March 19,2003
Division:
Growth Management
Bulk Item: Yes X
No
Department: Planning & Env. Res.
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of Amendment (No.6) to contract between Monroe County and URS
Corporation Southern for provision of transportation services under the current contract.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The contract between Monroe County and URS Corporation Southern was amended
in April, 2002, to increase the amount of funding authorizing a consultant study to evaluate alternatives for a
proposed Big Pine Key cross-island connector from $595,000 to $688,000. This study was funded with
transportation impact fees as authorized by the BOCC in its initial resolution.
The existing Monroe County - URS Corporation Southern Contract is proposed to be amended by $25,000,
bringing the total contract amount from $688,000 to $713,000. URS Corporation Southern has already billed
the County or has been authorized work totaling $688,000.
The Department is, therefore, requesting Board approval to amend the contract for additional funds made
available by the FDOT (an additional $25,000). This amendment will provide funds for the Planning
Department and Consultant to identify additional work to be accomplished, including concurrency, management
policies and procedures.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On March 3, 1997, the BOCC approved the execution of an
agreement with URS Greiner, Inc. (now URS Corporation Southern) for provision of transportation services.
On January 13, 1999, the BOCC approved the execution of an amendment and the amount was increased to
$295,000. The contract was again amended on September 9,1999 to $395,000 and again on April 19, 2001 to
$495,000. The contract was then amended again on February 14,2002 to $595,000 and again on April 17, 2002
to $688, 000.
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT CHANGES: Increase the amount payable to URS Corporation Southern by
$25,000 to $713,000.

2. Conceptual Corridor and Alignment Alternatives: The consultant shall
identify potential route corridors for the connector with input from the
Technical Steering Committee that help achieve the specific purposes and
need for the facility based on the Livable CommuniKeys Planning Process
and the draft Habitat Conservation Plan and in consultation with the
Technical Steering Committee. Based on the selection of viable corridors,
the consultant shall prepare up to two alternative alignments for each
corridor with multiple typical sections and sub-alternatives for each main
alignment. The consultant shall model each main alignment for existing

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE
COUNTY, FLORIDA:
Section 1.1
This ordinanc~ applies to all change orders to contracts for the
construction of capital improvements, regardless of whether the change order is subject to
approval by the County Administrator pursuant to Sec. 2-1 (b), M.C.C.. or approval by the Board
of County Commissioners. A purchase order may not be used to circumvent the requirements of
this Ordinance.
Section 2.)
A proposed contract for capital improvements may not be presented to
the Board for approval containing a provision with such elasticity that it allows for change orders
that could alter the contract's scope of work as initially approved. As an example (and not by
way of limitation), a contract for the construction of a children's playground should not contain
within it a change order provision of sufficient elasticity that it would allow for the construction of
a softball field.
Section 3.1
All change orders must contain the following information:
a.)
the project for which the change order ~ sought;
b.)
the specific item(s) for which the change order is sought:
c.)
the price of the change order;
d.)
the price of the change order expressed as a percentage of the original
contract price and as a percentage of the contract price after prior change orders.
Section 4.1 All change orders must be accompanied by the following Information:
a.) a written explanation of why the change order is needed, containing the
following information:
(i) why the items) for which the change order is sought were not
included in the original contract specifications:
(ii) if the item(s) for which the change order is sought were included in
the original specifications, then what event or circumstance compels an increase in the
contract price:
(iii) if the price of the item(s) for, which the change order is sought
exceeds $25,000 or 5% of the contract price, whichever is greater, then why are the items not
the subject of a separate call for bic;is. By way of example (and not by limitation), evidence of
delay of the project or impairment of project coordination, could be reasons not to call for bids
outside the contract.
b.) if the project architect did not approve the items for which the change
order is sought, then a detailed explanation as to why.
c.) if the change order is intended to correct an error or omission in design
document. a statement whether a claim under the applicC':~le professional liability policy has or
should be made.
Section 5.) If a change order results in a decrease in the contract price (either the
original contract price or the contract after prior change orders), the amount of that decrease
may not be utilized by employees, agents or contractors of the County to fund a subsequent
change order, contract amendment or any other alteration of the original scope of work
without following the procedures set forth in this Ordinance.
Section 6. After the effective date of this Ordinance, no contract for the
construction of a capital improvement may be entered into that is at variance with the
provisions of this Ordinance.
2
Section 7.
The provisions of this Ordinance supersede the provisions of any contrary
resolutions or administrative instructions.
Section 8.
If any section. subsection. sentence. clause or provision of this Ordinance
is held invalid. the remainder of this Ordinance shall not be affected by such invalidity.
Section 9.
All Ordinances or ports of Ordinances in conflict with this Ordinance ore
hereby repealed to the extent of said conflict.
Section 10.
The provisions of this Ordinance shall be included and incorporated in the
Code of Ordinances of the County of Monroe. Florida. as an addition to amendment thereto.
and shall be appropriately renumbered to conform to the uniform numbering system of the
Code.
Section 11.

notice from the Office of the Secretory of State of the State of Florida that this Ordinance has
