Consent Agenda Item = �� . ��,{�y INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES Date: December 29, 2015 To: Joseph A. Baird, County Administrator From: Vincent Burke, P.E., Director of Utility Services Prepared By: Arjuna Weragoda, P.E., Capital Projects Manager Aw Subject: North Sebastian Sewer Design—Phase II DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS: On August 20th, 2013, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Work Order No. 6 with Masteller and Moler, Inc. (M&M) to provide professional services to investigate the feasibility of installing centralized sewer services in the North Sebastian area. On February 11, 2014, the results of the study were presented to the BCC and the Board directed staff to present the findings to the City of Sebastian. Staff presented the findings on February 12th 2014 to the City Council and a workshop was held at the City of Sebastian chambers on March 191h 2014. Staff also presented the information to the Friends of Sebastian River on May 27th 2014. On October 21, 2014 BCC approved Work Order No. 7 with Masteller and Moler, Inc. (M&M) to provide for design, permitting, preparation of construction plans for North Sebastian Sewer and Water Main Design for the Commercial Area of Phase 1. ANALYSIS/ENGINEERING: Masteller and Moler, Inc. evaluated four (4) alternatives in the Sewer Feasibility study for the North Sebastian Area. The study recommended the gravity alternative as the preferred method for a centralized sewer system. The construction of the centralized sewer in the north Sebastian area will be accomplished on a phased approached. The commercial area east of US Hwy 1 will be designed and constructed in the first phase. Now that the design and permitting is complete for the Commercial Area of Phase 1 which is part of the Study Area No.1, staff requested a proposal to complete the design for Study Area No.2 and the remainder of Study Area No.1, which is labeled as Phase II. Due to site conditions and other construction logistics these phases may have to be divided into sub-phases during bidding/construction. In the spring of 2014, two grant applications for consideration were submitted for the project, without a positive outcome. Currently the County Attorney's office is working on another legislative priority grant for both study areas. Staff feels that having a shovel ready project may increase the likelihood of securing grants. Therefore, per the Continuing Contract Services Agreement for Professional Services (CCNA) procurement guidelines, staff requested M&M submit a proposal for design, surveying, permitting and preparation of construction plans for the Phase II portion of the study. The work order will be provided in accordance with the Extension and Amendment of the Continuing Services Contract Agreement for Professional Services with 195
