Summary Explanation/Background
THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
This action allows BCAD to accept grant funding from FDEP for the Hilton Parcel Interconnection Project (“Project”) at FLL.
The Project will provide for the design and construction of a new proposed Stormwater Management System within the abandoned Hilton Parcel, which Broward County (“County”) acquired in 2013 and is located west of FLL’s South Runway (“South Runway”). The Project will provide flood protection to the South Runway and include the installation of a new stormwater pump station and connector pipe to allow stormwater to flow from the south airfield to the new proposed Stormwater Management System. Completion of the Project will provide a consistent discharge of water flow into the Dania Cutoff Canal and prepare FLL for potential impacts of future sea level rise.
The Project’s total estimated cost is $6,099,818 (“Project Cost”). As outlined in the SGA, FDEP will provide grant funding for 50% of the Project Cost, estimated to be $3,049,909. The County will fund the remaining 50% of the Project Cost, estimated to be $3,049,909, while covering any Project Cost overruns.
The proposed SGA has been reviewed by the Office of the County Attorney. The SGA does not include the County's standard Agreement provisions, as FDEP requires the County to use its form Agreement.
