I <br />f <br />Consent Agenda Item <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />Date: January 17, 2018 <br />To: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />From: Vincent Burke, P.E., Director of Utility Services <br />Prepared By: John M. Boyer, P.E., Utilities Engineer <br />Subject: Approval of Blue Goose Construction Work Authorization No. 2018-001 <br />"128th Court Water Main Extension" <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br />County residents recently approached the Indian River County Department of Utilities Services (IRCDUS) and <br />requested that the County water system be extended to serve their properties. These residents have entered <br />into a "complex connection" agreement with IRCDUS, and paid a deposit for the design and construction of <br />the water main extension. <br />The resident's cost is based on the construction of a 4" water main, which would be the minimum pipe size <br />forthis application. However, staff also considered the provision of fire protection and phase 2 of the future <br />North County Septic to Sewer project, which will include the construction of 6" water main in the subject <br />neighborhood. Staff therefore decided to construct a 6" water main. <br />Since the fire protection and future connectivity will provide public benefit beyond the participating <br />residents, subject to Board approval, IRCDUS will cover the additional cost for the larger pipe. There are six <br />participating residents that own 9 benefitting properties. The costs are summarized as follows: <br />Estimated Cost of 6" Main: $65,967.85 <br />Residents' Share: $39,355.00 <br />County's Cost: $26,612.85 <br />A breakdown of labor and material cost for the 6" main is presented in the Analysis below. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Staff has determined the most efficient and timely method to construct the subject water main is to utilize <br />the IRCDUS labor contractor, Blue Goose Construction. A list of the anticipated labor and material quantities <br />was prepared, and bid prices from the Blue Goose Construction contract were used to calculate the labor <br />expense. The total material cost was based on unit prices derived from the Annual Contract for Utility <br />Warehouse Stock. <br />62 <br />
