The project consisted of constructing a four lane divided roadway along <br />with water and re -use main relocations/extensions on 66th Avenue and the side streets. The original design <br />included extending the watermain and the re -use main to the west side of the proposed 4 -lane 66th Avenue <br />Roadway. Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) staff determined that it was prudent <br />to extend the existing infrastructure concurrently with the roadway improvements for the following reasons: <br />• Avoid open -cutting a newly constructed four (4) lane roadway at a future date <br />• Minimize cost and design changes to the new bridges at 33rd, 37th, 41st, 45th and 49tH streets <br />• Minimize cost on mobilization and maintenance of traffic <br />• Avoid inconveniences to the residents <br />Upon request from residents along 33rd Street, the Indian River County Department of Utility Services <br />(IRCDUS) researched ways to extend the watermain west from the original 66th avenue utility relocation <br />design that terminated at Trillium. On October 5, 2010, BCC approved the subject extension along with <br />upsizing of the watermain from an 8" to 12" to terminate at the Florida Research Center For Ag <br />Sustainability, Inc. Further request from a resident on 33rd Street extended the same 12" watermain another <br />500 -LF to the west and that addition was approved by BCC on June 18, 2013. These additions were approved <br />without a cost recovery option. <br />F:\Utilities\UTILITY - Engineering\Projects - Utility Construction Permits\IRC - 66th Avenue from South of SR 60 to 57th St (FY 2011) UCP <br />4098\Admin\BCC Agenda -Capital Recovery 33rd Street-rev4.doc <br />3131 <br />
