Page 4 of 5 recommends the construction of a storage and re -pump facility. These facilities were also recommended in the 2004 and 2007 Master Plans. Furthermore, the Consultant recommends a phased approach where the first phase would install the transmission and distribution mains along A1A, and the second phase would construct the storage and pumping facility. Although IRCDUS staff can support a phased project, IRCDUS's goal is a long-term sustainable delivery of reclaimed water to the Barrier Island communities, thus a storage and re -pump solution is a necessary part of this project for operational efficiency and future deliveries. Keep in mind that this is a JIWM project, and while the BCC directed staff to research the viability of installing water mains along the A1A corridor, the following information in the report and agenda item is presented to assist the BCC in deciding which option may be the best path forward. However, the County does not have the ability to unilaterally choose the preferred route. Additionally, there may be limitations on the ability of JIWM to utilize the funding, already assessed for the subaqueous line, to be used instead for the A1A route, based on conversations between county staff and JIWM. Options for consideration: A1A Route: If the BCC decides to move forward with the A1A option after hearing the other items pertaining to the directional bore project under the Indian River Lagoon and the right-of-way issues associated with that project, then: 1. Direct staff to re -negotiate with John's Island for the A1A project cost, less the storage and re - pump facilities. The storage and re -pump facilities are not currently programmed in the Utilities capital improvement element. 2. Direct staff to work with Sea Oaks on the logistics and schedule of the storage and re -pump station. Note Sea Oaks property management is currently utilizing the inactive SOWWTF site to conduct daily management tasks. 3. Direct staff to negotiate surveying, design, bidding and construction services assistance contracts and prepare a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) package to solicit qualified consultants in order to comply with the Consultant's Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA). An RFQ process will add approximately three to six months. Subaqueous Route: If the BCC decides to proceed with the sub -aqueous route, then this A1A study can be retained for future use. The subaqueous line will need to gain regulatory approval and all Utility Construction Permit (UCP) approvals not only before the construction begins, but while the construction occurs and post installation. If the installation is deficient or not up to acceptable horizontal directional drill (HDD) installation standards and/or County standards, then the transfer of assets cannot occur and IRCDUS may be unable to accept the operation and maintenance responsibilities. FUNDING: The Barrier Island Reuse water main feasibility was previously approved by the BCC for a total amount of $102,800.00 and was budgeted in the 472-169000-18532 account. If the project does not come to fruition, the Utility Capital Fund reserve expenses, associated with growth and expansion in the system, will have to be transferred to Other Professional Services in the operating fund.
