Commission advances budget amendment to cover GMP shortfall for DOFLEX project
Summary
City staff presented a budget amendment related to the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for DOFLEX improvements and advanced Ordinance O-26-15 to second reading; staff identified transfers and cost savings to cover a funding gap.
On May 11 the Winter Haven City Commission advanced Ordinance O-26-15 to second reading to authorize budget adjustments related to a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for improvements at DOFLEX associated with RFQ 1215.
Staff said the GMP for the improvements is not to exceed the contract amount presented at the meeting; a budget amendment was requested to authorize additional expenditures and clarify funding sources. Staff listed transfers of $100,000 from the construction fund, approximately $32,858 from the transportation fund (primarily for sidewalks), and $15,000 from the general fund to cover roughly $188,859 in additional expenditures; staff said remaining funding would come from cost savings in the Diamond Flex Softball improvement project. The item was advanced to second reading for formal adoption on May 26, 2026.
The transcript contains some numerical transcription inconsistencies; the commission advanced the ordinance to second reading and staff will return with the finalized ordinance and supporting documentation.
