Agenda 11/10/2025 Item #16B 9 (Terminate for convenience Agreement No. 23-8154 for “County Barn Rd Pathways Local Agency Program (LAP) Project” (43091-2-58-01) with RJ Engineering Construction Corp.)11/10/2025
Item # 16.B.9
ID# 2025-4542
Executive Summary
Recommendation to terminate for convenience Agreement No. 23-8154 for “County Barn Rd Pathways Local Agency
Program (LAP) Project” (43091-2-58-01) with RJ Engineering Construction Corp.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain Board approval to terminate for convenience Agreement No. 23-8154 for County Barn Rd
Pathways LAP Project 43091-2-58-01, with RJ Engineering Construction Corp. as the construction contractor.
CONSIDERATIONS: On June 10th, 2025, the Board approved Agreement No. 23-8154 to contract with RJ
Engineering Construction Corp. to perform all work in connection with the County Barn Rd Pathways LAP project. The
contract amount including owners allowance totals $3,223,344.44 for the Agreement. Total contract time is 420 days
from notice to proceed.
The LAP funding is valid through December 31st, 2027 & is eligible for an extension up to 30 days prior to this date,
leaving sufficient time to re-solicit the project and not risk losing the state funds.
This agreement will be replaced through a new competitive solicitation.
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: Total contract amount is $3,023,344.44, with $200,000.00 allocated for Owners Allowance. As of
October 14th, 2025 $0.00 has been dispersed.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney. I have been advised by staff that
the agreement was awarded June 10, 2025, and staff has not received the required documentation to begin construction.
Rather than terminating for cause, which can be disputed, we would like the Board to allow for a termination for
convenience, which cannot be disputed. With that noted, this item is approved as to form and legality and requires a
majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION(S): To terminate for convenience Agreement No. 23-8154 for County Barn Rd Pathways LAP
Project, with RJ Engineering Construction Corp. as the construction contractor.
