FPRA approves PO increase, lease addendum and multiple facade extensions; authorizes environmental study
Summary
At its June 9 meeting the FPRA approved a $25,349.50 PO increase for JCPenney parking-lot work, extended Cobb's Landing to month‑to‑month while staff readies an RFP, approved several commercial facade extension requests, and authorized a Phase 2 environmental study for 1238 Avenue D.
The Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency approved a series of routine procurement and agreement actions June 9, including a limited purchase order increase, two commercial facade extension approvals and authorization for an environmental study tied to a potential acquisition site.
The board approved a $25,349.50 increase to purchase order PO 26.001035 to complete improvements to the JCPenney parking lot after the city engineer described needed curb and gate modifications to accommodate trash‑truck access. The vote was unanimous.
FPRA also adopted Resolution 26‑14 to put the Cobb's Landing lease on a month‑to‑month basis while staff finalizes an RFP tied to an updated purchasing code; staff said the RFP is drafted and could be issued after the new purchasing code is adopted (staff estimated August for posting and hoped for a tenant by year-end). The vote to authorize the addendum was unanimous.
The board approved two commercial facade‑grant extension requests: a six‑month extension for Remnant Construction LLC at 706 S US Highway 1 (formerly advertising office work) and a six‑month extension for 2210 Orange Avenue (VEDEX LLC) as the applicants obtain building permits to convert the site for childcare and related uses. Both motions passed by roll call.
Finally, FPRA authorized Director Richard Chess to execute an agreement for a Phase 2 environmental study at 1238 Avenue D — a property under contract adjacent to the Highwaymen Museum — at an estimated cost of roughly $9,550 and an estimated one‑month turnaround. Staff said Phase 1 results and nearby historic uses (dry cleaner, fueling station) prompted the recommendation for further testing; the authorization passed by roll call.
Votes on routine items were recorded by roll call and carried with the full commission present except where items were postponed for further information.
