PINT <br />DIRECTOR OF UTI SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: CONSTRUCTION OF TWO REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER <br />SUPPLY WELLS FOR INDIAN RIVER COUNTY'S <br />NORTH BEACH WATER PLANT <br />PROJECT #89-10—DC <br />PREPARED AND STAFFED BY: WILLIAM F. McCAIN <br />CAPITAL PROJECTS EN NEER <br />DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />BACKGROUND <br />The North Beach Water Plant currently has treatment capabilities of <br />approximately .5 million gallons per day (MGD). Its current raw <br />water source consists of two lower Floridian aquifer wells, one of <br />which is not usable due to the extremely high salt content. We will <br />soon be expanding the existing plant by 1 MGD to accommodate the new <br />development in the North Beach area. <br />ANALYSIS <br />To increase the water treatment capacity by 1 MGD, it is necessary <br />to provide an increase of approximately 1.33 MGD of raw water <br />capacity. The wells need to be in place prior to design of the <br />treatment expansion, as the water quality must be ascertained to do <br />.the design. <br />!Attached you will find the Scope of Work for this project. The <br />services covered are as fo-116ws: <br />1. Hydrogeologic Design <br />2. Permitting <br />3. Bidding Services <br />4. Construction Services <br />The total cost for all of the above services is $56,881.00. Funds <br />for this project will come from Account No. 472-000-169-072.00. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of <br />County Commissioners approve the attached Work Authorization with <br />Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the problems involved with <br />finding a good reliable water source on the Barrier Island. <br />Commissioner Scurlock had a question on this.
