f4 <br />Consent Item <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />Department of Utility Services <br />Board Memorandum <br />Date: March 23, 2021 <br />To: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />From: Vincent Burke, PE, Director of Utility Services <br />Prepared By: John M. Boyer, PE, Utilities Engineer <br />Subject: Emergency Replacement of Two 16 -inch Water Valves: 58th Avenue at 4th Street <br />Background: <br />Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) recently discovered that two 16 -inch diameter <br />water valves along 58th Avenue at 4th Street are leaking. The subject valves are located in the median of 58th <br />Avenue and will soon compromise the structure of the roadway. Since this is an immediate threat to public <br />property and safety, IRCDUS requested an emergency purchase order to authorize one of its labor contractors <br />to replace the valves. The purchase order was approved by Assistant County Administrator Mike Zito. <br />Analysis: <br />Labor contractor CK Contractors & Development, LLC., (CK) will perform the valve replacement under the <br />IRCDUS 2020 Labor Contract. However, while the actual cost of the repair may be more or less the <br />anticipated amount, CK's proposal for the repair exceeds the $200,000 amount at which staff would be <br />required to go out to public bid, per statute. Since the cost of the work is anticipated to exceed the <br />$200,000 bid threshold, the purchase order for the repair must be presented to the Board of County <br />Commissioners for ratification in accordance with Florida Statute 255.0525. <br />Funding: <br />Funds for this project are derived from the Replacement and Renewal budget in the operating fund. The <br />operating fund budget is derived from water and sewer revenues. <br />Description <br />I Account Number <br />I Amount <br />Water Distribution Valve Repairs <br />1 47126936-044699-19551 <br />1 $200,932.92 <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve Purchase Order #89917 for a lump sum <br />amount of $200,932.92. <br />Attachments: <br />1.
