Item # 16.B.1
ID# 2025-2033
Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve a License Agreement with Hardesty & Hanover Construction Services, LLC to allow
occupancy of the demised premises at 1080 16th Street NE, Naples, FL for the duration of the 16th St. NE Bridge project
for the purpose of an on-site field office.
OBJECTIVE: To allow occupancy of the demised premises at 1080 16th Street NE, Naples, FL for the duration of the
project for the purpose of an on-site field office for the 16th St. NE Bridge Project.
CONSIDERATIONS: On October 22, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners (the "Board"), approved the CEI
contract for the 16th Street NE Bridge project. The project consists of constructing a bridge over the Golden Gate Canal
and widening approximately 3.3 miles of 16th Street NE from Golden Gate Boulevard to Randall Boulevard. A six-foot
sidewalk will be constructed to the west of the roadway. The typical section of the proposed bridge consists of two
twelve-foot travel lanes, with a six-foot shoulder and a six-foot sidewalk on the west side and a twelve-foot shoulder on
the east side of the bridge.
The contract for the CEI services for the 16th Street NE bridge includes $84,000 for the County compensating the firm
for a field office/utility, which is a typical practice. It was determined the County could save funding by providing the
demised premises, which are located within the project limits, to the firm for an on-site field office. The County will be
co-sharing this office with the consultant, and it is anticipated for the consultant to use roughly 200 square feet of space.
Co-sharing the office with Transportation Engineering staff will enable the County to utilize the property for continuing
construction projects that are planned in the future for Golden Gate Estates and eastern Collier County.
The proposed License Agreement is for occupancy of the demised premises by Hardesty & Hanover until such time that
the 16th St. NE Bridge Project is completed.
The County’s License Agreement is proposed with notable terms:
1) Allow for continued occupancy until either party provides thirty days’ written notice to terminate.
2) Tenant is responsible for paying $1.00 monthly as a license fee towards monthly water and electric service.
3) Demised premises shall be open and operational for business Monday through Friday during the hours of 7:00 AM
thru 5:00 PM unless abridged hours are approved by Transportation Engineering Staff with at least 24 hours advance
written notice.
4) County Transportation Engineering staff will co-share the use of the property for other County construction projects.
This item is consistent with the Collier County strategic plan objective to design and maintain an effective transportation
system to reduce traffic congestion and improve the mobility of our residents and visitors
FISCAL IMPACT: The monthly contribution of $1.00 shall be deposited into Fund 3081 for Project No. 60212.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This recommendation is consistent with the Long-Range Transportation Plan
and Objective 1 of the Transportation Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan to maintain the major
roadway system at an acceptable Level of Service.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires a majority vote for approval
- SAA
RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve the License Agreement with Hardesty & Hanover Construction Services, LLC
and authorize the Chairman to sign the attached Agreement.
