The attached amendment also provides for upgrading the golf cart wash -down and fueling area. The Indian River County Health Department will no longer allow cart wash -down water to be discharged in swales. They are requiring that the water be used for irrigation so that any hydrocarbons will evaporate. The compensation due the Consultant for Amendment No. 4 is $7,698. This, added to the current contract amount of $83,610 will result in a new contract amount of $91,308. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends that the Board authorize the Chairman to sign the attached Amendment No. 4. Funding is from Account 418-000-169-018.00 - WIP Sandridge Phase II. Commissioner Scurlock stated that $7,698.00 does not sound like a lot of money but he recalled that this same Kimley-Horn did not realize Kings Highway had a 60 -foot right-of-way and the County incurred the expense of a resurvey. It was Kimley-Horn's responsibility as the engineer to use due diligence and be aware of our ordinances. It was not a critical mistake but it was an additional expense for the County. Commissioner Scurlock felt the work in Amendment No. 4 could have been traded out for the past mistake. He further noted that the additional work is basically labor and felt staff should give Kimley-Horn the opportunity to contribute to the County for that past mistake. Golf Club Director Bob Komarinetz explained that the consumptive use permit caused additional work, calling for numerous meetings between Kimley-Horn's engineers and County staff in trying to resolve the situation of the golf cart washdown area. We committed to go with a water -oil separator and drain the water into the swale system, but St. Johns required a filtration'system and reuse of the water to irrigate the clubhouse area. County Administrator Jim Chandler confirmed that the permitting has turned into a nightmare. We thought we were near completion of the permitting process; then St. Johns reviewed our existing wells, so engineering time has been and will be expended on that permit. He understood Commissioner Scurlock's point about negotiating a setoff, but assured the Board the permitting work must be done and engineering time has been expended. Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that sometimes when we negotiate engineering services agreements initiating a project, we negotiate them so hard that we start getting very detailed on the scope of services to get a reasonable cost. Later, when some items are not included in the scope of services, they come back for the additional items. Commissioner Scurlock acknowledged that more work has been done and will be done, but urged staff to attempt to trade out. 25 r� JUL 2-1'1992
