MM File #1422 August 25, 2014 NON-EXCLUSIVE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING AGREEMENT CONTINUING CONSULTING SERVICES "EXHIBIT 1" WORK ORDER NO.7 (Scope of Work) Project Description Masteller & Moler, Inc. (MM) is pleased to present you with Work Order #7 which provides professional engineering services for design and preparation of construction plans, and permitting applications covering the proposed sanitary sewer collection and conveyance project. The project covers the two (2) commercial areas which are part of Study Area #1 covered in the "Sanitary Sewer Feasibility Study and Report for the North Sebastian Area" prepared by Masteller Moler Inc. and dated November 2013. The feasibility study provided the preliminary design of a gravity sanitary sewer collection and conveyance system along with project cost estimates for Study Area #1. Several meetings have been held with the City of Sebastian Staff, the Indian River County Utilities Director, and Masteller & Moler, Inc. during which it was determined that the commercial areas of Study Area #1 should move forward with design, construction plans, and permitting. A project which is "bid ready" will have a greater probability of securing construction grant funding than a project only at the "study" phase. The two (2) commercial areas of Study Area #1 which will be included in this project are generally described as follows: • The commercial area in the unincorporated part of Indian River County along the east side of US Highway #1 from the Sebastian Cemetery north to Bay Street. • The commercial area in the City of Sebastian including North Central Avenue, Jackson Street, Madison Street and Davis Street. Indian River County and the City of Sebastian both recognize the numerous benefits to be gained by the construction of a sanitary sewer gravity collection and conveyance system in these two (2) commercial areas. One benefit of constructing a public sewer system is the elimination of numerous existing and future septic systems which result in pollution of the groundwater table and ultimately pollution of the Indian River Lagoon to the east. Also, in many cases these septic systems represent inconvenience and expense to the users due to their malfunction. The lack of public sewer prevents or limits the orderly growth of commercial development. Since both of these areas included in the project are designated for commercial development, the availability of public sanitary gravity sewer will facilitate the development of these areas. The accelerated commercial development growth will increase employment in the area and provide increased economic activity and stability in the north County and Sebastian area.
