III project is substantially done and coming on line and that was <br />$.1149 a square foot. From Phase II to Phase III the assessment <br />went up around 20% and now we're actually about 60% above Phase II. <br />He questioned the accelerating costs and stressed that the water <br />assessments in .Oslo Park are going to be more than 500 of the <br />assessed value of the lots. Mr. Hawkins urged the Commission to <br />take a look at the costs for the entire water expansion project and <br />thanked the Commissioners for their consideration. <br />Mr. Chastain addressed Mr. Hawkins' concerns and explained it <br />is difficult to compare one project to the next. For Phase I the <br />average square footage of the properties served was 15,724 square <br />feet. For Phase V the average square footage of the properties <br />served is 11,416 square feet. In Phase I we had 15,700,000 square <br />feet of assessment and Phase V only has 12,318,000 square feet, so <br />it is not a fair comparison to say Phase V is $.15 a square foot <br />and 40 or s_o.percent higher than Phase I. <br />Director Pinto emphasized that this is not a cost of <br />government but a cost to government. We have set this up so no one <br />engineering firm is doing all of the projects and to keep the phase <br />sizes close to the same. It is set up to make it attractive enough <br />to get competitive bidding, and fair enough to keep all of the <br />consulting firms on sort of an even basis so that one is not <br />getting more work than the other. When the projects are bid, we <br />are fortunate enough in Indian River County that we get a large _ <br />participation in competitive bidding, anywhere from 5 to 10 or 12 <br />bidders, with bidders from local contractors and from contractors <br />out of Michigan. One of the problems that we run into -involves the <br />time in getting the project approved, which means that the <br />difference between our estimates of the cost and the actual cost <br />varies a great deal, but it should be understood that the numbers <br />being discussed today are the maximum numbers that can be assessed. <br />Any comparison should be based on linear feet of pipe with a <br />reference to the total square footage of the property. This <br />project has a lot of linear feet of pipe and minimal linear feet <br />which is being funded through impact fees so that virtually <br />everything in this project is being assessed. <br />Mr. Hawkins still urged the Commission to compare what we have <br />been paying for these various factors of construction, engineering, <br />and administration, because he does not see any justification why <br />the price per square foot is going up 28% from the other 3 phases. <br />Attorney James Wilson stated that he represents Mr. and Mrs. <br />Dale Jacobs, owner of property on the outer edge of the assessment <br />district near Grovenor Estates. Mr. Jacobs' address is 3590 11th <br />OCTOBER 4, 1994 23 rM <br />BOOK JJ F,1 E � <br />
