The-estimat6d lump -sum fee for the Phase I design services shall be based on an FmHA percentage of total construction. Based on percentage of the estimated contruction cost, the design service fee will total $73,750.00. This fee will be adjusted when firm construction costs are known. The estimated fee for resident project services is $24,400.00. The estimated fee for a geotechnical consultant for Phase I is $55,000.00. The estimated cost for surveying is $10,000.00; the estimated additional general services is $25,000.00. The estimated fee for structgral and soil engineering. is $3,000.00. For Phase II, the estimated fee for the geotechnical consultant services in investigating REWARD system is $15,000.00. All fees shall conform to FmHA guidelines. RECOMMENDATION The Department of Utility Services recommends approval of the agreement with PECI for Phases I and II for design and other services for the estimated fees as stated above. i Commissioner Scurlock clarified the scope of services had been reduced back to what had been originally advertised. He felt comfortable with that, but had one question regarding the permittability of the reward system. We are proposing $40,000 to study the reward system, and Commissioner Scurlock asked if any of these have been permitted. Dave Refling, principal and partner in charge of the environmental department of Professional Engineering Consultants, Inc. answered, "No," but the department of Environmental Regulations and the Water Management District are both very much in favor of the project. He could not make a commitment to the Board that, yes, it is permittable, but it has been identified as a very favorable system to use as a saltwater intrusion barrier in lieu of putting it down a deep well. The cost estimates for a deep well system are in the three, four million dollar range and our estimates are half of that for a concept such as this. Also, it would be easy to recover during peak demand periods for reuse. Commissioner Scurlock assured him he is not opposed to it at all, but is asking if they have ever permitted some reward system for stormwater management. Commissioner Bowman asked if there is a prototype anywhere. Mr. Ref ling responded there have been aquifer recovery systems for potable water that have been permitted. As to stormwater management water, which is not potable -type water, some very small systems have been approved in the Orlando area, in the range of, maybe, a 20 -gallons -a -minute system. Commissioner Scurlock related that down south of us one of these system types was proposed for stormwater and was disallowed and they were forced to reline the lake, et cetera. He commented that the proposed $40,000 is not much, but we don't want to spend it without a good chance of it being permitted. 23
