IConsent Agenda Item <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />Date: July 1, 2016 <br />To: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />From: Arjuna Weragoda, Capital Projects M1ffa'gf r <br />Through: Vincent Burke, Director of Utilities <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 <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />Louisiana Ave. Force Main <br />472-169000-16522 <br />$11,329.00 <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.
