Summary

Commissioners approved a negotiated award to CW Roberts for asphalt resurfacing (about $191 per tonne, estimated $1.5M program) and adopted the annual resurfacing list; staff also authorized submission of $4.3M in Resilient Florida grant applications for drainage projects covering Nub and Slough/Berman Road and Lake Montanze Estates.

Procurement staff recommended awarding an asphalt resurfacing and new road construction contract (RFP 2024‑01) to CW Roberts after negotiations under statute yielded a price of approximately $191 per tonne all‑in. Staff estimated the program at roughly $1.5M for the coming year and proposed a 3‑year contract with renewal options; the board approved the award unanimously.

Road department staff then presented the annual resurfacing list for fiscal 2024 and addressed a small adjustment: three Pine Ridge Park roads will be moved to FY25 because of ongoing OUA contractor work; staff will do a site walk and finalize the list. Separately, staff recommended submitting two Resilient Florida grant applications totaling $4.3M (no county match): a $2.5M application for the Nub and Slough regional drainage project (Berman Road/Spot in the Sun/4 Seasons area) and a $1.8M request for Lake Montanze Estates drainage improvements. The board approved the grant submissions and the resurfacing list.
