* The construction cost is an estimate only, based on the Engineers Estimated Opinion of Probably Cost (OPC)for Phase 3. Note that the project has not yet been bid and these prices could be subject to change for material and labor prices that are outside the control of IRCDUS. The design and engineering costs are provided through Work Order #3 and the ilmpact fees are set as approved by the Board that remain unchanged from years past and were formally approved to go into effect. March 2019. The Phase III S2S project is a continuation of work IRCDUS started in 2010 when the County installed sewer services for the West Wabasso Community, north of county road 510, as part of Phase I. Phase 11, south of CR510, was completed in late 2019. Phase III is shown in Attachment 2. For tracking purposes, the two geographically separated areas are.divided into Phase IIIA (along 61St Drive) and Phase 1116 (59th Avenue and 58th Court). At the time of Phase 11, residents along 61St Drive voiced strong support for sewer, but the economics of including that area in Phase II did not work. There is an opportunity to continue the needed S2S conversions in the area with the award of the IRL WQ grant, but there is a funding deficit that requires board approval. The table below outlines the funding deficit that is requested for the project: Total Project Cost $1,888,218 SJRWMD Grant ($1,250,000) Design/Engineering paid by IRCDUS ($155,562) Deficit $482,656 Optional sales tax dollars can be used to offset infrastructure projects, and it is recommended that the BCC approve the proposed allocation of funds for this project as outlined in the table below: Description Funding Source Funding Account Amount Percent of Project Cost Design/ Engineering IRCDUS 472-169000-21512 $ 155,562 8.2% Construction SJRWMD IRL WQ Grant* 472-169000-21512 $1,250,000 66.3% Deficit Optional Sales Tax 31526836-066510-21512. $ 482,656 25.5% Total $1,888,218 100.0% * The IRL WQ grant is a reimbursable grant based on qualified expenses On March 20, 2018, the BCC approved an update to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 3A Sanitary Sewer Sub -Element. Upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Board, an emphasis on applying for and obtaining grants to assist the conversions from septic systems to sanitary sewer systems was incorporated into Policy 5.6, which states: The County Shall identify and pursue opportunities for state and federal funding for the improvements and expansion of the utility services to include septic to sewer conversion projects and sewer connections. Pursuant to BCC direction, IRCDUS applied for and obtained state funding for the S2S project while continuing the tradition of assisting the West Wabasso community. This funding opportunity was not known in advance, and IRCDUS had little time to prepare an application for the IRL WQ grant. However, this project scored well enough to obtain SJRWMD funding, and it is recommended for approval in order to continue S2S conversions that benefit both the environment and the community that it will serve. 218
