Brown, County Administrator <br /> From: Arjuna Weragoda, Capital Projects M r ko <br /> Through: Vincent Burke, Director of Utilities <br /> 6) <br /> Subject: Approval to Cover Costs Affiliated with Louisiana Ave Force Main <br /> DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS: <br /> In the fall of 2014, staff met with the City of Sebastian, the Sebastian Chapter of the VFW and The <br /> Sebastian Chapter of the American Legion regarding the possible connection to the County's sewer <br /> system. The existing septic systems serving the two properties were failing. <br /> ANALYSIS: <br /> During the meeting, the City of Sebastian agreed to contribute $50,000 in City grant funds to connect <br /> the two commercial properties to County sewer. In the best interest of the County due to timing, costs <br /> and environmental concerns, staff agreed to cover the County's share of the project at the completion <br /> of construction. That work entailed the design and construction of an extension to an existing force <br /> main 196 linear feet to accommodate service to the two properties and future potential connections <br /> along Louisiana Ave. Specifics of the hiring of the engineer and contractor were left up to the VFW and <br /> American Legion. Now that construction is complete and the properties are served by county sewer, <br /> the County's costs for design and construction total $11,329. <br /> `FUNDING: <br /> Funds for this project are derived from capital funding. Capital fund revenues are generated from <br /> impact fees. Furthermore, new customers have created the need for the expansion or construction of <br /> the facilities, and those customers will benefit from this project. <br /> ACCOUNT NO.: <br /> Description Account Number Amount <br /> Louisiana Ave. Force Main 472-169000-16522 $11,329.00 <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Staff recommends that The Board of County Commissioners approve the expenditure for the expansion <br /> of the Louisiana Ave. force main in order to serve the American <br /> Legion and VFW.
