Summary Fact Sheet F: App APPROVE 6-0 There was a lengthy discussion on this particular item on
the agenda. Tom Fallin, Chief,
Engineering Construction Management Division, Public Works Department,
explained what the proposed legislation entailed and fielded numerous
questions, primarily on the ranking of projects on a list that had been
electronically delivered to Committee members. There were questions on how
long it took to begin construction on projects after design had been
approved. Mr. Fallin explained the bridge development report process that had
to be in place before construction.
Council Member John Crescimbeni asked Mr. Fallin to explain the
rationale for the department’s ranking for bridge projects. Mr. Fallin explained the design-build
procedure that the department uses. Council Member Reggie Brown remarked that he was uneasy
about moving forward with this ordinance.
Council Member Al Ferraro favored moving forward with the ordinance in
light of the bridge and road work that needed to be completed in his Council
District. Council Member Reggie Gaffney referenced the dilapidated
condition of a bridge on Old Kings Road that had been brought to the
Council’s attention during Public Comment section at the February 8, 2016
Council meeting. John Pappas,
Director, Public Works Department, remarked on this particular project and
explained that the department had to be in compliance with certain
requirements that the Florida Department of Transportation had. Mr. Pappas also responded to questions that
Council Member Hazouri had about the project ranking and priorities
issues. Council Member Joyce Morgan wanted to know if the Public
Works Department could put projects such as the Old Kings Road bridge on a
fast track. Council Member Crescimbeni
requested Mr. Fallin to provide him with additional information on the status
of every project on the ranking list.
He wanted this additional information before the next City Council
meeting (March 22, 2016). |
