The bill was later signed into law by Governor DeSantis. One of the requirements of <br />HB 53 is to provide a 20 -year needs analysis of Indian River County's (COUNTY) stormwater <br />management program. There is a further requirement for the COUNTY to compile the same <br />information for municipalities and applicable dependent special districts in the COUNTY. We <br />understand that the COUNTY includes the municipalities of Fellsmere, Indian River Shores, <br />Orchid, Sebastian, and Vero Beach. <br />For the first cycle of reports, local governments and applicable dependent special districts <br />must submit their reports to Indian COUNTY by June 30, 2022, and the COUNTY must <br />compile them along with their own report and submit them to the Office of Economic and <br />Demographic Research (EDR) and the Secretary of the Department of Environmental <br />Protection by July 31, 2022. <br />The Needs Analysis consists of general information on the COUNTY's stormwater program, a <br />summary of program/project funding, summaries of the COUNTY's assets and the operation <br />and maintenance performed on them, future expansion projects (i.e., capital improvement <br />projects), future resiliency projects, and projected replacement projects. The purpose of this <br />Work Order is to assist the COUNTY with preparing the Stormwater Needs Analysis. <br />This Work Order will be completed in accordance with the Agreement for Continuing <br />Engineering Services between Jones Edmunds & Associates, Inc. (CONSULTANT) and Indian <br />River County (COUNTY) dated April 17, 2018, as renewed by Amendment No. 1 expiring <br />April 16, 2023 (Agreement). <br />800.237.1053 1 JONESEDMUNDS.COM <br />
