PROJECT: N/A
PURPOSE:
Orange County, Florida (County) has designed improvements to Ocoee Apopka Road Drainage System (project) between West 13th Street and South Hawthorne Avenue. This project is in response to localized flooding that occurred along this road segment during Hurricane Milton (see attached map for project location).
During the design phase, a utility conflict was identified. The County and the City of Apopka (City) have determined that the project is in the best interest of both parties. To avoid delays in the project schedule, the County and the City have agreed that, upon completion of the work, the City will reimburse the County for costs associated with the utility relocation required as a result of the project, in an amount not to exceed $200,000.
The County Attorney’s Office and Risk Management have reviewed the Agreement and found it acceptable as to form.
