Consent Item <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />Department of Utility Services <br />Board Memorandum <br />Date: April 21, 2022 <br />To: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />From: Sean C. Lieske, Director of Utility Services <br />Through: Jennifer Hyde, Purchasing Manager <br />Prepared by: Harrison Youngblood, PE, Utilities Engineer, Utility Services <br />Subject: Force Main Replacement Under 49t' Street along 58th Avenue <br />Background: <br />On July 16, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Work Order (WO) 17 for Kimley- <br />Horn and Associates, Inc., (KHA) to prepare a utility relocation design for the roadway improvements to <br />58th Avenue from 491h Street to 57th Street. The project was put to bid, and Timothy Rose Contracting, Inc. <br />(TRC), was awarded the project. In the course of the project, the Indian River County Department of Utility <br />Services (IRCDUS) staff has realized the need to replace a segment of existing 8" diameter force main in <br />the work area along 58th Avenue under 49th Street due to the "bottleneck" creating erratic pressure issues <br />within the sanitary sewer force main. Since TRC is already performing work along 58th Avenue just north of <br />the 49th Street intersection, it would be beneficial, both time -wise and financially, to utilize them to <br />perform this work. <br />Funding: <br />Funds in the amount of $172,293.87 for this project are accounted for in the Utilities/WIP/58th Ave Util <br />Relocations -49th -57th account. Funds for Utilities Operating fund WIPs are derived from the operating <br />fund balance. Operating funds are derived from water and sewer sales. <br />Description <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />Utilities/WIP/58th Ave Util Relocations -49th -57th <br />471-169000-21509 <br />$172,293.87 <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners waive the requirement for bids and <br />authorize the issuance of a purchase order for the work to Timothy Rose Contracting, Inc., to perform <br />the utility replacement for the amount of $172,293.87. <br />Attachment: <br />1.
