Seminole Road is budgeted to be reconstructed from Atlantic Blvd to 5
points. Features desired in the project were stormwater, water,
sidewalk and streetscaping improvements. Genesis was selected as
the design firm and the Commission awarded a design contract to
Genesis early in 2014. On September 30, 2014, a neighborhood
meeting was held to obtain public input on the 30% conceptual design.
Approximately 30% of the neighborhood attended the 9/30 meeting.
On October 13, 2014, the Commission discussed the design features
contained in the conceptual design. Public Works was asked to hold
the design at the conceptual stage and come back to the Commission
with more illustrative graphics and further consideration of design
options.
On 1/26/15, the Commission gave specific guidance on many of the
project's design features. The design guidance from that meeting is
attached for easy reference.
During discussion of the planned improvements with DOT on June 11,
2015, DOT suggested realignment of the intersection of Seminole Road
with Atlantic Blvd. As this design option aligns with one of the
Commission's strategic goals of improving the main entrances to the
City we felt it necessary to bring this option to the Commission for
consideration.
The project is ready to bid in its current design.
$1,600,000 was budget for this work in FY 14/15 and reaffirmed and
included in the FY'15/16 budget.

Our Design Consultant prepared the attached memo dated 6/24/15
explaining the additional cost for realigning the intersection could be as
much as:
Design:
Construction:
$ 53,500
$655,000
$708,500
These funds are not currently budgeted.
RECOMMENDATION: Obtain a consensus of the Commission to move forward with bidding of
the project utilizing the current design options without realigning the
intersection.
