DATE: JANUARY 9 , 1996 <br />TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: TERRANCE G. PINTO <br />DIRECTOR OF UTILIT 6a <br />CES <br />PREPARED WILLIAM F. CAIN <br />AND STAFFED CAPITA S ENGINEER <br />BY: DEP O UTILITY SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: NORTH BEACH REPUMP, FORCE MAIN, AND WATER MAIN <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NOS. US -94 -22 -CS AND <br />IIS -95 -22 -DS <br />On October 11, 1994 the Board of County Commissioners approved a <br />contract with Masteller and Moler, Inc., for the North Beach Repump <br />Force Main project. On September 5, 1995 the Board approved <br />Addendum No. 1 to the contract to add a water main to this project <br />as well. (See attached agenda items and minutes.) During the <br />bidding of this project in late September 1995,1 an engineering <br />analysis of the bridge was made available to the Utilities <br />Department. As a result of items (i.e., structural deficiencies) <br />in this report, the pipes could not be placed in their originally - <br />proposed locations, and the bid was suspended. Staff has completed <br />a review of the bridge portiob of this project in conjunction with <br />our engineer, Public. Works;, and several bridge contractors. <br />(Please see the attached minvtgp of our final meeting.) <br />ANALYSIS <br />We have concluded that., -the two 12inch lines can be installed in a <br />parallel location on the north said* of the bridge under the walkway <br />without interfering with future bridge maintenance. The drawback <br />to this is that in the future when wastewater effluent is sent back <br />to the beach, it may be necessary' to directionally bore that <br />portion of the river in lieu of a bridge crossing as the relocation <br />of the force main and water line now will occupy the location <br />previously reserved for effluent. Staff has.negotiated an addendum <br />with the engineer to redesign the bridge crossing as outlined for <br />the amount of $9,270.00. The fee breakdown is as follows: <br />Additional design services $3,000.00 <br />Additional surveying services 1,320.00 <br />Additional structural 4.950.00 <br />Total $9,270.00 <br />For details of the proposed addendum, please see attached. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the <br />Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed addendum as <br />presented. <br />In response to Commissioner Eggert's questions, Capital <br />Projects Engineer Bill McCain and Public Works Director Jim Davis <br />expanded on the reasons and the need for the proposed addendum. <br />45 <br />January 23, 1996 <br />6100K 97 rmu 162 <br />
