Summary Explanation and Background:
On April 21, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) regarding the St. Johns Heritage Parkway Intersection and Babcock Street with the City of Palm Bay. On April 30, 2020, the executed ILA was recorded which serves as the effective date. The ILA was entered into by the County and City to facilitate the completion of the intersection improvements at Babcock Street and the newly constructed St. Johns Heritage Parkway and for the future widening of Babcock Street south of Malabar Road. The ILA set out certain deadlines by which the City would acquire the right-of-way for Phase 3 of the intersection project. The ILA provided that an extension to the deadlines may be agreed to in writing by the County and City at least ninety days prior to the date of the specific deadline.
Due to the complexity of the right-of-way acquisition, the City preemptively requested an extension to the Phase 3 deadline. The ILA is amended that if the City does not complete the right-of-way acquisition by December 31, 2021, the City shall submit a written request seeking an extension of the acquisition deadline to the County Manager’s Office at least thirty calendar days prior to said deadline. The County Manager is authorized to grant two time extensions: (1) the first is up to an additional 120 days; and (2) the second is up to an additional 90 days. Any subsequent extensions must be granted by the Board of County Commissioners.
On July 15, 2021, the City Council of Palm Bay approved the Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement Regarding the St. Johns Heritage Parkway and Babcock Street Intersection. In accordance with Administrative Order 29, the Amendment has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney’s Office, Risk Management and Purchasing Services.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
Please return the Amendment to the Public Works Department for recordation.
