in effect

Jacksonville Ordinance Code § 748.301 Projects performed by contract or by City forces.

Sec. 748.301. - Projects performed by contract or by City forces. Periodic maintenance of the City streets and highway system shall be performed by contractors or by City forces, as the City Highway Engineer considers appropriate in light of the size and complexity of the project and the personnel, material and equipment available to the Division, and provision may be made for a project to be accomplished partly by a contractor and partly by City forces. In each case, the City Highway Engineer shall be responsible for making the certificate required by F.S. § 335.045(4). (Ord. 78-329-131, § 1; Ord. 83-591-400, § 1)

Jacksonville Ordinance Code § 748.302 Scheduling of periodic maintenance projects.

Sec. 748.302. - Scheduling of periodic maintenance projects. Periodic maintenance projects to be funded from the surplus gas tax funds shall be scheduled on the cash flow schedule, except for emergency maintenance and for periodic maintenance projects which cannot be conveniently scheduled. In the latter case, the cash flow schedule may schedule periodic disbursements to pay for such maintenance projects as may have been accomplished and not previously paid for or reimbursed; the periodic disbursement shall be considered an estimate only and disbursements for work actually done made in accordance with the schedule may exceed the estimated disbursements. Amendments of the cash flow schedule shall be made from time to time to reflect emergency maintenance, periodic maintenance projects and actual disbursements, so that the cash flow schedule is as much as possible an accurate historical record of project work and periodic maintenance expenditures and so that the remaining scheduled projects and disbursements can be adjusted in light of past performance and progress. (Ord. 78-329-131, § 1; Ord. 83-591-400, § 1)

Jacksonville Ordinance Code § 748.303 Real Estate Division to acquire interests in land.

Sec. 748.303. - Real Estate Division to acquire interests in land. (a) The Real Estate Division is authorized to negotiate for rights-of-way easements and other interests in real property necessary to undertake and complete periodic maintenance projects and to acquire options therefor, which the Office of General Counsel is authorized to close on behalf of the City. The interests in real property shall be obtained in the most economical and feasible manner, including purchase, gift, donation or condemnation, and the surplus gas tax funds shall be available to pay the costs and expenses of obtaining the interests. In all cases, the acquisition of the interests shall be displayed on the cash flow schedule and there shall be available for payment of costs and expenses of each acquisition only those funds actually scheduled therefor. (b) The Real Estate Division may process and close all real estate transactions to acquire real property with an appraised value of less than $100,000 without the prior review and approval of City Council. All other real estate transactions to acquire real property with an appraised value of $100,000 or more shall be subject to the prior review and approval of City Council. The Real Estate Division shall provide written notice to all City Council Members before closing any real estate transaction with a value of more than $25,000 and less than $100,000. The notice shall contain a legal description or real estate number of the real property, the City Council district in which the property is located, the appraised value of the property, the purchase price of the real property and any other appropriate information.

Jacksonville Ordinance Code § 748.304 Contract payments; expense credit reimbursements.

Sec. 748.304. - Contract payments; expense credit reimbursements. Payments to contractors performing periodic maintenance work shall be made according to a voucher system established in the same manner as the contract voucher system prescribed in Part 4 for construction contractors. The language required by Section 748.404(c) shall be inserted in the contract when a voucher system is used. If the City Highway Engineer finds it administratively economical, the voucher system for payments under this Part shall be combined with the voucher system for payments under Part 4. Periodic maintenance work done by City forces shall be accounted for by means of expense credits reimbursing the operating budget of the Division. No funds shall be disbursed, either directly or by expense credit or other transfer for any work, if an appropriation for a road program project is involved, without the prior approval of the Council.
