PLANT ODOR -CONTROL <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UW -95 -03 -WC <br />On July 27, 1993, the Indian River County Board of County <br />Commissioners approved a work authorization with Camp Dresser and <br />McKee Inc., for a pilot test on an unconventional odor control <br />system. (See attached agenda item and minutes.) The immediate <br />construction of the odor control system has been necessitated by the <br />opening of the South County Middle School in August of 1995. (See <br />attached correspondence from the School Board.) The results of the <br />pilot test system were inconclusive (please reference the attached <br />letter dated February 6, 1995 from CDM). We, therefore, would like <br />to proceed with a work authorization with CDM for engineering <br />services covering design and construction of a conventional odor <br />control system. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The estimated construction cost of the odor control system is <br />$500,000.00 ± with proposed engineering fees of $75,826.00.. (for <br />details of the required work, please see the attached work <br />authorization). Due to the complexity of this project, the fee has <br />been negotiated based on the staff's estimation of the actual hours <br />to be expended by CDM staff on the project. Both the process and <br />instrumentation control associated with a facility of this nature <br />are quite detailed. We, therefore, feel the proposed fee is <br />equitable to both the County and the Engineer. Funding for this <br />project will be from the impact fee fund. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends approval <br />of the attached Work Authorization with CDM as presented. <br />Director Terry Pinto recalled there were not many neighbors <br />when the water treatment plant was constructed. Development now <br />has now closed in on the plant and, in order to be good neighbors, <br />we are now at the point where we are going to have to provide odor <br />control. The odor control system has nothing to do with the <br />quality of the water produced. The South County middle school is <br />being built nearby and development is taking place near the water <br />plant, and several of the commissioners have received complaints <br />BOOK 94 PAr,- <br />FEBRUARY 14, 1995 29 <br />
