HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
On October 11, 2018, City Council authorized the Mayor to accept the FSTED Grant #44102729401 in the total amount of $147,600 for the engineering, design and permitting for the dredging of Port Berths 3 and 5. At that time, no additional funding was available for the actual dredging to take place. The City of Pensacola and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) entered into PTGA #4410272940, Version-01 for maintenance dredging at the Port of Pensacola in March 2019. This 1st amendment to the PTGA will add an additional $753,062 in FSTED funds to the project, requiring $251,020 in additional local match.
On May 9, 2013, City Council approved a Joint Participation Agreement between the City and the Florida Department of Transportation for the Berth 6 Rehabilitation Grant for a total amount of $2,600,000. Since then the City has received three (3) additional supplemental grants for the Berth 6 project. The Berth 6 Rehabilitation Project has been completed and the final costs were significantly under budget. The remaining FSTED funds and the Port Matching Grant Funds will be shifted to the Port Berths 3 and 5 dredging project.
Under FSTED program rules, when a project is completed prior to the expiration of the grant with funds remaining in excess of $25,000, the Port to which those funds were allocated can request that the FSTED Council authorize a reallocation of the remaining funds to another approved FSTED project at that Port. The Port of Pensacola made that request at the FSTED Council’s fall meeting last October, and it was approved at that time. The action currently being requested will complete the trailing paperwork required for FDOT to encumber the funds.
Both the grant funds and the Port Matching Grant funds for the Berth 6 Rehabilitation will be transferred from the Berth 6 Rehabilitation account to the Berths 3 and 5 Dredging account and the Berth 6 Rehabilitation Phase 1 project will be closed out.
PRIOR ACTION:
May 9, 2013 - City Council adopted a resolution to accept the Joint Participation Agreement between the City and the Florida Department of Transportation for the Berth 6 Rehabilitation grant in the amount of $1,950,000 with a $650,000 required matching funds for a total amount of $2,600,000.
October 11, 2018 - City Council authorized the mayor to accept the State of Florida, FSTED Grant #44102729401 in the amount of $110,700 with a $36,900 required matching funds for a total amount of $147,600 for the design, engineering and permitting of the Berths 3 and 5 dredging project.
FUNDING:
Budget: $ 110,700 Berths 3 and 5 Dredging Project
36,900 Port Matching Grant Funds Berths 3 and 5 Dredging Project
753,062 Berth 6 Rehabilitation Project

1,004,082 Contracting & Dredging
$1,151,682
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Upon approval by City Council, $753,062 from the Berth 6 Rehabilitation Project will be transferred to the Berths 3 and 5 Dredging Project. Additionally the Port Matching Grant Funds of $251,020 will be transferred from the Berth 6 Rehabilitation Project to the Berths 3 and 5 Dredging Project. This will allow the Port to fully expend the grant funds previously allocated to the Berth 6 Project which would have expired if not transferred to another approved project. The additional funding will allow for the completion of the dredging project.
