South Gifford Road. The Utilities Division is therefore proposing that a 16 inch water main be installed in accordance with the Master Plan to enhance the fire protection capabilities throughout the South Gifford Area. In cases where the oversizing of lines is required to conform to the water system Master Plan, the Utility Division participates by sharing the cost of the oversized line. In this case, the Utilities Division contribution in funding the replacement of.the subject water main would be one half of the cost, since the proposed 16 inch line is twice as large as the 8 inch line required to serve the County's new jail complex. Furthermore, the Utilities Division proposes the remainder of the costs of the project be funded by the General Services Division/Jail Project since the County's new jail complex will directly benefit from the improvements. The Utilities Division has received a proposal for engineering services from Masteller & Moler Associates, Inc., in the amount of $8,650.00 and a budget estimate for construction in the amount of $102,050.00 for the 3350 linear feet of piping, necessary valves- and appurtenances, making the total project cost $110,700.00. Applying the above outlined funding methodology, the Utilities Division would be responsible for 50 percent of the total construction cost or $55,350.00, the remaining 50 percent being the responsibility of the General Services-Division/Jail Project. _ RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the subject water distribution improvements and approve the. above outlined funding for the project. Director Pinto noted that since the line is going to facilitate the needs of the Jail specifically, we are proposing that part of the funds are to be paid by the Jail and part paid from utility impact fees. Administrator Wright pointed out that this will save us from having to install a booster pump. Commissioner Lyons asked if there will be additional fireplugs, and Director Pinto confirmed there will be a hydrant every 1,000' and that is included in the cost. This will loop into the existing system and increase the fire flow throughout the community. He noted that staff needs approval to proceed with the'engineers and go out to bid. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commis- sioner Bowman, the Board unanimously authorized the water distribution improvements described in the above memo, approved the outlined funding, and approved Work Authorization No. 5 for Consulting Services with Sippel, Masteller, Lorenz & Hoover, Inc. 59 APR 2 1996 BOOK 64 PAGE 5.9 I
