REVISED GRANT WORK PLAN
DEP AGREEMENT NO. LP47020
ATTACHMENT 3-1
PROJECT TITLE: City of Okeechobee Taylor Creek SE 8th Stormwater Conveyance.
PROJECT LOCATION: The Project will be located in the 400 Block of Southeast 8th Avenue, which
is located within the City of Okeechobee in Okeechobee County, Florida. Latitude/Longitude 27.2394/
-80.8225.
PROJECT BACKGROUND: The City of Okeechobee (Grantee) identified and prioritized drainage
infrastructure improvements within the City. Drainage improvements on Southeast 8th Avenue were
identified as one of the top three priorities.
Currently, this connection does not have any water quality treatment nor environmentally friendly
components and has direct drainage to Taylor Creek, which is directly upstream of Lake Okeechobee.
Increasing water quality in this area will be a direct improvement over the existing conditions and would
achieve observable results. The expected benefit and positive return on investment received includes
reduced pollution entering State’s endangered waters, improved water quality and quantity treatment of
surface water, protection of wildlife (i.e., manatees) and protection of public health.
The Grant funds of $209,036 will address construction of the conveyance. The Grantee’s investment will
include preliminary engineering, final design, bidding, engineering during construction and construction
observation with local funds in the amount of $31,200. The total project is estimated to cost $240,236.
The City of Okeechobee is located in a Rural Area of Economic Opportunity and is a fiscally
disadvantaged community.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Grantee will construct water quality and baffle box drainage
improvements on Southeast 8th Avenue to replace a direct drainage connection to Taylor Creek.
The project includes updating drainage along a residential roadway, that includes drainage piping, inlets,
curbing, water quality baffle box, roadway repairs, earthwork of clearing and grubbing, seeding mulching,
silt fencing and Manatee Grates.
The Grantee does not anticipate that the funding under this agreement will result in a fully completed
project, so this agreement will cover a portion of the work.
TASKS and DELIVERABLES:
Task #1: Construction
Deliverable: The Grantee will construct water quality and baffle box drainage improvements on
Southeast 8th Avenue to replace a direct drainage connection to Taylor Creek that includes updating
drainage along a residential roadway, inlets, curbing, roadway and piping in accordance with the
construction contract documents.
Attachment 3-1, DEP Agreement No. LP47020, Amendment No.1, Page 2 of 2
Documentation: The Grantee will submit a signed acceptance of the completed work to date by
the Grantee and the Engineer’s Certification of Payment Request.
Performance Standard: The Department’s Grant Manager will review the documentation to
verify that the deliverables are completed as described above. Upon review and written acceptance
by the Department’s Grant Manager, the Grantee may proceed with payment request submittal.
Payment Request Schedule: The Grantee may submit a payment request for cost reimbursement
no more frequently than monthly.
PROJECT TIMELINE & BUDGET DETAIL: The tasks must be completed by, and all deliverables
received by, the corresponding task end date.

Note that, per paragraph 8.h. of the agreement, authorization for continuation and completion of
work and any associated payments may be rescinded, with proper notice, at the discretion of the
Department if the Legislature reduces or eliminates appropriations. Extending the contract end date
carries the risk that funds for this project may become unavailable in the future. This should be a
consideration for the Grantee with this and future requests for extension.
