George Liner, Utilities Dept. Indian River County -2- ITEM #2 - GIFFORD AREA SEWERAGE IMPROVEMENTS November 18, 1980 Engineer's Project No. 5675-G Status of Gifford Area Sewerage Improvements is as follows: --Mr. Thomas Hoskins with FmHA in Gainesville, Florida, has verbally given authorization to execute the original Contract Documents with Driveways, Inc. We anticipate formal communication with FmHA by the end of this week. In any event, we will begin negotiating changes in scope.of work to the original contract plans and specifications on Friday, November 21, 1980. The intention of these negotiations is to determine what modifi- cations to unit prices and scope of work are necessary, due to the delay in this project and relocation of the treatment facility. After receiving revised cost figures from the Contractor, we will prepare a change order to incorporate cost changes and adopt the revised techni- cal specifications and construction drawings. Again, this procedure has been approved by FmHA, State Offices in Gainesville. We have received initial review comments on plans and specifications submitted to the Department of Environmental Regulation. These comments will be incorporated into the plans and specifications prior to negotiat- ing with Driveways, Inc. In addition, we have submitted a request to DER for a 10 week extension of the construction schedule required by the original permit for this project. ITEM #3 - PEBBLE BAY AREA SEWERAGE IMPROVEMENTS Engineer's Project No. 6765 Status of Pebble Bay Area Sewerage Improvements is as follows: --We are continuing to work with the Utilities Department and the Town of Indian River Shores to determine the overall system design for implementing this project. We have been requested by the Town of Indian River Shores to submit a proposal to them to perform engineering services to connect the Town's system to the City of Vero Beach. As this project could be viewed as a combined project, it has been noted one overall system design would be in the best interest of the County, City and Town. We will be presenting a basic overall system approach to the Town on Thursday, November 20. In addition, we will be working with the Utilities Department in the mean- time for overall system design. After development of an overall system approach with concurrence by the Town and County, we then would propose to submit the system approach to the City of Vero Beach for their concur- rence. Then, we would be in the position to proceed with final plans and specifications. NOV 191980 31 BOOK 45 PACE275
