Florida Department of Environmental Protection Grant Agreement Amendment #1 for the Pine Lake Preserve Project
The City applied for and received a grant for stormwater improvements at the Pine Lake Preserve. The property is located at the southwest corner of Bonita Grande Drive and East Terry Street. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) agreement was fully executed by both the City and FDEP on June 18, 2020. The contract expires September 30, 2024.
The construction improvements are complete and came in under budget. Staff is currently in the yearlong monitoring phase. FDEP is offering the City the ability to reallocate any unused construction funds to other tasks identified in the original contract before reallocating those funds to other statewide projects. The attached Amendment #1 allows additional grant funds for Task 3 – Monitoring and Task 5 - Final Report. Both tasks require additional consultants to perform the monitoring requirements, as well as completing the final report for the project.
