Brief History
The City of Coral Gables entered into Agreement No. LP8911 with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) on June 26, 2009, for the purpose of receiving grant funds in the amount of $500,000.00 for the construction of the Old Cutler Road Sanitary Sewer Force Main Replacement Project. This project is a requirement of Consent Order No. OGC08-2788 issued by the DEP. The project was completed in May 2010 and the sewer main has been operational since that time. The City has thus far received partial reimbursement from the DEP in the amount of $392,233.00. However, since completion of the project, the contractor has also been working to secure all releases of liens from suppliers and subcontractors on the project. It is anticipated that all documentation, including releases of liens, will be in final form from the contractor within the month and a check subsequently issued by the City to the contractor. The proof of payment along with other documents will then be submitted to the DEP for final acceptance and reimbursement in the amount of $107,767.00. Since this activity will extend beyond the term of this Agreement, Amendment No. 1 is needed to allow sufficient time to prepare and submit all documents for final reimbursement.
