INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />Date: February 27, 2017 <br />To: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />From: Vincent Burke, P.E., Director of Utility Services <br />Prepared By: Arjuna Weragoda, P.E., Capital Projects Manager <br />Subject: Comprehensive Countywide Septic to Sewer Priority Ranking Study Technical <br />Assistance Grant <br />DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS: <br />On October 18, 2016, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) authorized Schulke, Bittle <br />& Stoddard, LLC to prepare a comprehensive, countywide septic -to -sewer priority ranking study based upon <br />various physical and environmental factors, as well as construction cost estimates for a sum amount of <br />$86,300.00. Since the approval, the Assistant County Attorney has solicited additional funding for the subject <br />study from the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). The DEO, under the Fiscal Year 16/17 Technical <br />Assistance Grant, has committed to fund $35,000.00 towards the study. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />The scope of work has been approved and finalized by both parties. The DEO is currently preparing the <br />agreement for signature. Therefore, in the essence of time, efficiency and simplicity, staff recommends <br />adopting a new resolution whereby signature authority is granted to the County Administrator when the <br />agreement is finalized by the DEO for signature. <br />FUNDING: <br />Total cost of the study previously approved by the BCC is $86,300 and is funded from the Capital Funds account; <br />the $35,000 grant will reduce the county's net cost of the study to $51,300. Funds for this project are derived <br />from capital funding. Capital fund revenues are generated from impact fees. Furthermore, new growth has <br />created the need for the expansion or construction of the facilities, and that new growth will benefit from the <br />expansion or construction of the facilities. <br />Description <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />Countywide Septic to Sewer <br />472-169000-17501 <br />$51,300 <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff requests the BCC recommend the adoption of Resolution No. 2017-XXXX and authorize the Chairman to sign <br />same. <br />ATTACHMENT(s): <br />1.
