BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
The Medical Examiner for the 19th Judicial Circuit ("ME"), the District Board of Trustees of Indian River State College (the "Trustees"), and Indian River County, Martin County, Okeechobee County, and St. Lucie County (the "Counties") (the ME, Trustees and Counties will be collectively referred to as the "Parties") entered into an Interlocal Agreement to locate, design, permit and construct a new facility for the ME. The Parties have since secured a site for the facility through a long-term lease with the Trustees, completed and approved the architectural design, initiated the permitting process, and received an estimated construction cost for the new facility from the architect. Each of the Counties has budgeted and appropriated the monies needed to fund the construction of the new facility based on the County share calculation set out in Section 4a ix in the Interlocal Agreement officially recorded on February 23, 2023.
The Parties desire to amend the 2023 Interlocal Agreement. The attached First Amendment to the 2023 Interlocal Agreement Proposed Medical Examiner Facility (the “First Amendment”) would, if approved, provide additional detail regarding the funding and procurement process for the construction phase. It outlines the procurement method to be led by St. Lucie County, confirms use of the approved construction budget, and sets forth procedures for contractor selection, contract execution, and handling of excess funds, change orders, and potential cost overruns.
