MEM <br />Regular Agenda Item <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />Date: August 26, 2014 <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 Ac° <br />Subject: North Sebastian Sewer Design —Commercial Area of Phase 1 <br />DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS: <br />On August 20th, 2013, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Work <br />Order No. 6 with Masteller and Moler, Inc. (M&M) to provide professional services to investigate the <br />feasibility of installing centralized sewer services in the North Sebastian area. On February 11, 2014, <br />the results of the study were presented to BCC and the board directed staff to present the findings to <br />the City of Sebastian. Staff presented the findings on February 12th 2014 to the City Council and a <br />workshop was held at the City of Sebastian chambers on March 19th 2014. Staff also presented the <br />information to the Friends of Sebastian River on May 27th 2014. <br />ANALYSIS/ENGINEERING: <br />Masteller and Moler, Inc. evaluated four (4) alternatives in the Sewer Feasibility study for the North <br />Sebastian Area. The subject study recommended the gravity alternative as the preferred method <br />for a centralized sewer system. The construction of the centralized sewer in the north Sebastian <br />area will be accomplished on a phased approached. The commercial area east of US Hwy 1 will be <br />designed and constructed in the first phase. <br />In the spring of 2014, two grant applications for consideration were submitted for the subject <br />project, without a positive outcome. Staff feels that having a shovel ready project may increase the <br />likelihood of securing grants. Therefore, per the CCNA procurement guidelines, staff requested <br />M&M submit a proposal for design, permitting and preparation of construction plans for the <br />Commercial Area of Phase 1 portion of the study. On November 15th, 2011, the Indian River County <br />Board of County Commissioners approved the Continuing Contract Agreement for Professional <br />Services with Masteller & Moler, Inc and under that contract they (M&M) submitted Work Order <br />No.7 to perform the work outlined above. <br />The total negotiated cost to include the engineering services is a lump sum amount of $155,220.00. <br />The estimated construction cost for the commercial area of Phase 1 centralized sewer system is <br />approximately $1,967,394.70. <br />128 <br />
