do <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />Department of Utility Services <br />Board Memorandum <br />Date: September 28, 2020 <br />To: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />From: IVincent Burke, PE, Director of Utility Services <br />Prepared By: John M. Boyer, PE, Utilities Engineer <br />Subject: 511t Avenue Water Assessment — 65th Street to 69th Street, Petition, Surveying, and <br />Engineering Design Services <br />Description and Conditions: <br />The property owners along 51St Avenue between 65th Street and 69th Street (see Assessment Area Map, <br />Attachment 1) have submitted a valid preliminary petition (see Attachment 2) to the Indian River County <br />Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) requesting that the county supply potable water to their subdivisions. <br />Staff is now seeking authorization to begin data collection (survey) and engineering design. <br />Analysis: <br />The described area has a total of thirty-one (31) benefitting -lots in the assessment area. Signed petitions <br />indicating affirmative votes were received from 24 of the benefitting lots. Thus, 24 of the 31 (77.4%) <br />benefitting lots are in favor of the assessment project. Some of the properties already have water due to a <br />complex agreement and are not included in the assessment area. <br />The preliminary estimated project cost is $291,400.00, which includes staff administration, right-of-way <br />survey, engineering design by staff, permits, construction, and contingency. This is subject to change once a <br />detailed design is complete. The only cost at this point will be to a licensed surveyor for the right-of-way <br />survey ($9,800.00). Carter Associates, Inc., has provided a proposal under their continuing surveying services <br />agreement for the survey. <br />Funding: <br />Funds for this project are derived from the Assessment Fund. Assessment Fund revenues are generated from <br />assessment fees paid by the benefitting property owners. If the assessment does not come to fruition, the <br />$9,800.00 will have to be expensed to the Utilities Operating Fund. Utilities operating funds are derived from <br />water and sewer sales. <br />Description <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />511t Area Water Assessment <br />473-169000-21501 <br />$9,800.00 <br />108 <br />
