Cooperator Agreement Expiration 10/1/07 12/31/11
Status As Of: August 24, 2009
Status History: The Cooperative Funding Agreement was executed on December 29, 2004. The City contracted with
Jones Edmunds & Associates (JEA) to perform the engineering work on the project. Topographic surveying and
geo-technical work were completed and existing hydraulic & hydrologic data were collected. The City requested
additional cooperative funding for FY2006 and a contract amendment to incorporate the FY2006 funds was executed on
September 21, 2006. A preliminary hydrologic and hydraulic report was submitted. The City applied for FY2007 funding
to perform additional field survey work, to perform additional hydraulic and hydrologic studies and to begin construction of
the 9th Avenue Bridge. The Preliminary Design Report was submitted on June 12, 2006 and comments were provided to
the City. The hydraulic modeling of Wares Creek was submitted for review and comments on October 20, 2006. District
staff met with the City's consultant in March 2007 to discuss the results of the hydraulic modeling. A pre-application
meeting with Sarasota Regulatory staff was held on April 25, 2007 to discuss the project. City staff is concerned with the
status of the water quality certificate (WQC) which the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) is requesting from the FDEP, in
particular, with the conditions which might be attached to the WQC and what additional work may be required in order for
the City to obtain a permit from the District. The consultant is continuing work on the modeling of the creek hydraulics
and hydrology. A progress meeting was held at District headquarters on April 28, 2008 to discuss the modeling effort,
future cooperative funding, ACOE permitting status and other items. The City's consultant (JEA) met with the Sarasota
Regulatory staff on August 20, 2008 for a second pre-application meeting. District staff met with the city project manager
and the consultant on October 16, 2008 to discuss project status and progress. Action-to-date: This project has been
delayed partly in response to the delays in the ACOE proceeding with the Wares Creek Dredging project. The City is
working with FDOT to see if Federal stimulus funding is available for this project. The City's consultant is continuing with
data gathering and modeling in preparation for submitting a permit application for the 9th Avenue Bridge. The fourth
amendment to the cooperative funding agreement was executed. This amendment adds the FY2009 cooperative funding
and revises the project schedule.
