Consent Item <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />Department of Utility Services <br />Board Memorandum <br />Date: September 30, 2022 <br />To: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />From: Sean C. Lieske, Director of Utility Services <br />Prepared by: Harrison Youngblood, PE, Utilities Engineer, Utility Services <br />Subject: Work Order 4 to Schulke, Bittle, and Stoddard, LLC <br />Background/Analysis: <br />The proposed project will provide surveying, engineering design, and permitting for the construction of a <br />new 8" water main along 51s' Court from 53rd Street north approximately 330 linear feet crossing the <br />Indian River Farms Water Control District (IRFWCD) 250' canal right-of-way (ROW). The water main will <br />loop the current water distribution system serving the Vero Lago development and Waterway Village <br />development. A portion of the water main will cross the IRFWCD canal on the existing utility shelf of the <br />concrete bridge that spans the canal. <br />The construction will provide redundancy in the water distribution system that serves these two <br />developments by making the connection to a water transmission main on 53rd Street. This connection will <br />provide a higher level of assurance and security of the availability of water to Waterway Village and Vero <br />Lago. In the event of an unforeseen operational failure, maintenance requirement, or other event that <br />could temporarily close the existing water service, both of the developments would be compromised by <br />having to shut down the single feed currently serving them. By making a second connection to the Indian <br />River County (IRC) water distribution system serving this area, the developments would still be supplied <br />water during an event that would temporarily close the existing service line, therefore assuring the 1650 <br />residents in the area will not be without water. <br />Funding: <br />Funds in the amount of $35,000 for this project are accounted for in the Utilities/515` Court Water Main <br />account, number 471-169000-22509, located in the Utilities operating fund. Utilities operating funds <br />are derived from water and sewer sales. <br />Description <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />Utilities/51St Court Water Main <br />471-169000-22509 <br />$35,000 <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve Work Order 4 to Schulke, Bittle, <br />and Stoddard, LLC., in the amount of $35,000, and authorize the Chairman to execute and sign on their <br />behalf. <br />Attachment: <br />1.
