landscaping or Hole Montes Inc.
In Phase I the utility providers buried the conduit. Phases II and III construction
conduit was buried by the MSTU.

Light, Comcast and Century Link indicates a cost savings to the Vanderbilt Beach M.S.T.U.
of approximately $300K for performing the work for Phases II and II themselves. Cost
conclusions are highlighted as follows:
• FPL estimated cost per mile
o Phase I- $1,078,956. (FPL Did Construction)
o Phase II and III- $ 661,517. (FPL to do construction)
• FPL Actual cost per mile
o Phase I - $1,010,060.
o Phase II and III- $ 691,300 (County did Construction. Includes conduit for
CenturyLink and Comcast)

o Phase II and III- $72,715. (Does not include conduit)

o Phase I—no charge.
o Phases II and III - $79,945. (Does not include conduit)

section of wire to be repaired as the area was not properly marked.

F. PHASE IV STATUS
Mr. Sells recapped the status of Phase IV Construction from Bluebill Avenue north to Wiggins
Pass Road. The MSTU's project is "on hold" pending notification of start and completion dates
for the Vanderbilt Drive Pathway Project.
During Committee discussion the following was noted:
• MSTU construction for Phase IV should follow behind the County project.
• Construction renovation of two bridges is estimated to be completed in 1'/2 to 2 years.
• The MSTU should consider allowing Florida Power& Light to perform their services for
Phase IV independently, similar to the methodology utilized in Phase I, and coordinate
the project with Comcast and Century Link.
• The MSTU has sufficient funds available to fund the Phase IV project.

benches for Committee consideration.

• Removal of the first 104 feet(42 plus 62 feet)of vegetation will provide an appealing
view of the water.
• Irrigation should be extended to the area.
• Fence alternatives to protect the natural slope revealed by plant removal should be
reviewed.
