"EXHIBIT 1" WORK ORDER NO. 8 (Scope of Work) • Project Description Our File #1341 September 9, 2014 Work Order No. 8 provides for professional services for the FDEP permit revision, engineering, design, preparation of construction plans, specifications/bid documents, construction observation, and soils engineering for the Blue Cypress Lake new replacement package concrete Wastewater Treatment Plant and modification of the effluent disposal system. The services will include a plan and criteria for abandonment and demolition of the existing plant. The existing Blue Cypress Wastewater Treatment Plant is a steel package plant which provides tertiary treatment and serves a small fishing resort located along the shore of Blue Cypress Lake. The resort is fully developed and consists of small houses or trailers some of which are occupied full-time and others are used on occasions for recreational activities on Blue Cypress Lake primarily bass fishing. Domestic wastewater is generated by approximately (84) dwelling units and a small commercial fishing tackle shop. The existing steel package wastewater treatment plant has deteriorated badly with the steel tanks rusted and corroded beyond repair. It is estimated that the existing plant was purchased new sometime around 1975 and has been moved several times to different locations at various development projects. The plant was installed at its present location around 1992 to serve the Blue Cypress Lake Resort. Recently, Masteller & Moler, Inc. was authorized by the Indian River County Utilities Department to prepare plans to remove and repair the severely corroded steel sections of the plant in an attempt to salvage the existing plant tankage. During this assignment and based on continued fact gathering, it became evident that it would be impossible to provide reasonable assurance that the repairs would provide satisfactory results. A contractor was requested to evaluate the plant and provide a cost estimate to perform the construction work anticipated by the project design. The construction estimate was in excess of $325,000.00. Based on the cost and inability to repair the plant, the Indian River County Utilities Department has decided to abandon the existing steel package plant and replace the plant with a new 17,000 GPD package concrete tertiary wastewater treatment plant. It is anticipated that the new package plant will utilize the existing modified effluent disposal facilities, provide reliable future service and cost less to construct than to attempt to salvage the existing plant. The work to be performed as part of this Work Order will generally include preparation of an FDEP permit revision application package; preparation of contract plans; preparation of specifications and bid documents for a new replacement package concrete wastewater treatment plant; modification of the effluent disposal system; assistance during bidding and contract administration/periodic construction observation for the project. Our services will also include a plan and criteria for abandonment and demolition of the existing plant. The estimated project cost for the New Replacement Package Concrete Wastewater Treatment Plant and abandon / demolish the existing plant covered in the Scope of Services for Work Order No. 8 is $ 300,000.00. A brief description of the scope of services and deliverables for Work Order No. 8 is provided below:
