REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to approve:

reimbursement of additional utility line relocation costs to the Scripps Research Institute associated with the construction of its permanent facilities on the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) Jupiter Campus in the amount of $784,161.80 $831,000. SUMMARY: The Grant Agreement established estimates of $1,500,000 for the relocation of the existing utility lines to facilitate construction of Scripps permanent facilities on the John D. McArthur Campus of FAU in Jupiter. The Grant Agreement required Scripps to obtain a binding estimate from Florida Power and Light (FPL). The binding estimate has been established at $2,284,161.80 $2,331,000. The Grant Agreement provides, that in the event FPL's binding estimate is more than $1,500,000, the County may agree to reimburse Scripps for the difference between $1,500,000 and the binding estimate. If the County does not agree to reimburse Scripps for the additional utility relocation costs, the Grant Agreement gives Scripps the right to terminate the Grant Agreement. Upon termination of the Grant Agreement, Scripps would be released from its obligations to County. FP&L is unable to provide a binding estimate. This estimate includes contingency allowances (10%) which will be reimbursed to the County if not expended. Countywide (JM) (Administration)
