Consent Agenda Item <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />8-K <br />Date: November 17, 2015 <br />To: Joseph A. Baird, County Administrator <br />From: Vincent Burke, P.E., Director of Utility Services <br />Prepared By: Arjuna Weragoda, P.E., Capital Projects Manager <br />Subject: <br />12th Street Watermain Design Contract with MBV Engineering, Inc. <br />DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS: <br />Over the last year the Indian River County Department of Utilities Services (IRCDUS) has been called to <br />12th Street adjacent to the Vero Beach Elementary school for emergency repairs to the existing water <br />main. The existing 6" asbestos concrete (AC) main was installed in 1959. Given the age of the <br />infrastructure, material type and the frequency of the breaks staff is evaluating replacing the old lines in <br />order to minimize further interruption of service to our customers in this area. Furthermore, staff elects <br />to correct an existing condition where the service laterals and water meters located in the rear lots are <br />moved to the road right-of-way within the Rivenbark Subdivision located east of 16th Avenue north <br />of 12th Street. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Staff requested that MBV Engineering, Inc. (MBV) prepare a proposal for surveying, design, permitting <br />and construction phase assistance to replace the existing AC watermain. The design will cover an <br />area generally described as having a western limit of 20th Avenue, an eastern limit of Old Dixie Hwy, <br />a northern limit of 14th Street, and a southern limit as 12th Street. The work order will be provided in <br />accordance with the Extension and Amendment of the Continuing Services Contract Agreement for <br />Professional Services with MBV, Engineering, Inc. dated November 4, 2014. The scope is more <br />specifically described in the attached Work Order No.2. The total negotiated cost for the surveying, <br />design, and permitting, bidding and construction phase assistance for the watermain replacement on <br />12th Street is outlined in Work Order No.2 for a lump sum amount of $105,000.00 separated into five <br />(5) tasks. Therefore, payment will only be made for the work completed under the specific task. The <br />engineer's opinion of probable cost to replace the existing watermain along 12th Street between 20th <br />Avenue and Old Dixie Hwy and to correct the existing condition within the Rivenbark Subdivision is <br />approximated at $850,000.00. The Department's intention is to have a fully completed design with <br />all the necessary permits on hand and phase the construction. <br />68 <br />
