INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />FROM: Richard B. Szpyrka, P.E., Public Works Director <br />SUBJECT: Sebastian River Improvement District — Lateral "D" Canal <br />Corrigan Ranch Lateral "D" Canal Cleaning Project <br />DATE: April 27, 2018 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The Lateral "D" canal is a Sebastian River Improvement District (SRID) north/south drainage canal on the <br />east side of CR -510 in the Vero Lake Estates area. The SRID owns the right-of-way where the Lateral "D" <br />canal is located. While the SRID owns right-of-way where the Lateral "D" canal was constructed, the SRID <br />does not maintain the canal. <br />Overthe years, the Corrigan Ranch has cleaned the Lateral "D" canal fortheir benefit. The canal cleaning <br />also benefits Vero Lake Estates residents as there are stormwater outfalls from Vero Lake Estates into the <br />Lateral "D" canal. In 1982 and 2004, the Corrigan Ranch cleaned approximately one mile of the Lateral <br />"D" canal, from the Ansin Ranch tojust north of 89th Street, and the County participated in the cost ofthe <br />canal cleaning. Both times the County's participation was 20% of the overall cost. <br />After Hurricane Irma; the Corrigan Ranch again cleaned the Lateral "D" canal. The cleaning is complete <br />and the Corrigan Ranch has invoiced the County for 20% of the overall cost for cleaning the portion ofthe <br />canal that directlyfronts County (VLE) property, including cleaning of debris underthe CR -510 bridge. The <br />total cost for cleaning this area was $25,415 with 20% of this cost being $5,083. <br />Cleaning of the canal is a benefit to the County and to the residents of the VLE community as it will <br />provide improved drainage for the area. <br />FUNDING <br />The County's participation cost for cleaning of the Lateral "D" canal is $5,083.00. Funding is available in <br />Transportation/R&B Other Contractual Services —11121441-033490. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the Board approve 20% participation in the overall costfor the cleaning of the Lateral <br />"D" canal by the Corrigan Ranch in the amount of $5,083.00. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Corrigan Ranch Invoice Letter w/backup <br />APPROVED AGENDA ITEM FOR: May 8, 2018 <br />74 <br />
