JOHN ROBBINS, ENGINEER FOR THE JOINT VENTURE, REVIEWED THE <br />SOUTH BEACH WATER SYSTEM ANALYSIS DATED MARCH 5TH AND THE SUPPLEMENT <br />TO THIS ANALYSIS PREPARED BY THE JOINT VENTURE. (COPIES OF THESE <br />REPORTS ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK.) <br />MR. ROBBINS REPORTED THAT HE CONFERRED WITH GEE & JENSEN, <br />ENGINEERS FOR THE CITY OF VERO BEACH, AND THE CITY IS INSISTING ON A <br />DESIGN CRITERIA BASED ON 950 GALLONS PER DAY WATER CONSUMPTION PER <br />LIVING UNIT. THE PROPOSED 24' LINE IS BASED ON PEAK -HOUR FLOW; THE <br />CONNECTION POINT BEING THE INTERSECTION OF 17TH ST. AND S.R. AlA AND <br />THEN SOUTH TO THE COUNTY LINE. THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE LINE TO <br />THE SOUTHERN CITY LIMIT IS $200,340 AND FOR THE AREA WITHIN THE COUNTY <br />$1,176,000. THESE FIGURES PLUS CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCIES AND <br />TECHNICAL SERVICES ADD UP TO A TOTAL COST OF $1,787,000. MR. ROBBINS <br />NOTED THAT THIS COST DOES NOT INCLUDE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS NOTED IN THE <br />GEE & JENSEN REPORT TO THE CITY, I.E., A 1.5 MILLION GALLON GROUND <br />STORAGE TANK AND PUMP STATION OR INTEREST COSTS DURING CONSTRUCTION. <br />CHAIRMAN LYONS ASKED IF THE GROUND STORAGE TANK AND PUMP <br />STATION ARE A NECESSARY PART OF THE INSTALLATION, AND MR. ROBBINS <br />STATED THAT TO MAKE THIS SYSTEM FUNCTION AND BE ABLE TO PROVIDE PEAK <br />HOUR FLOWS AND FIRE SERVICE, THEY ARE NECESSARY. MR. ROBBINS <br />EXPLAINED THAT THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY DID NOT ADDRESS ITSELF TO <br />THE ADDITIONAL PUMPING STATION OR STORAGE TANK, AND HE,. -THEREFORE, <br />DID NOT HAVE AUTHORITY TO GO INTO THIS DESIGN. HE FELT SUCH A GROUND <br />STORAGE TANK WOULD COST SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $270,000 TO $300,000, NOT <br />INCLUDING LAND. <br />DISCUSSION FOLLOWED REGARDING LOCATION OF THE TANK, AND MR. <br />ROBBINS STATED IT WOULD BE ON COUNTY LAND BY THE MOORINGS. <br />COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK BROUGHT UP THE MATTER OF PROPERTY <br />OWNERS WITH VESTED WATER RIGHTS WHO ALREADY HAVE FIRE SERVICE, AND <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS DISCUSSED FIRE PROTECTION AND THE CRITERIA OF 950 <br />GALLONS PER DAY PER LIVING UNIT.
