Consent Item <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />Department of Utility Services <br />Board Memorandum <br />Date: November 17, 2022 <br />To: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />From: Sean C. Lieske, Director of Utility Services <br />Prepared By: Richard Meckes, Operations Manager <br />Subject: Central Wastewater Treatment Facility Odor Control Improvements, CCNA Work <br />Order No. 8 With Atkins <br />Descriptions and Conditions: <br />Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) operates the Central Wastewater Treatment <br />Facility (CWWTF) located at 3550 49th Street. The existing sludge holding tank was originally built in 1994, <br />and was reconfigured during the sludge holding tank modifications in 2012. Staff was concerned that there <br />are significant odors produced by this portion of the treatment process and with the recent proposed <br />residential development in the area, the staff felt the need to address these concerns before they become <br />an issue with the future residents. <br />Analysis: <br />In March 2022, staff requested a representative from Atkins, an engineering firm, to visit the site to make <br />a quick assessment as to the current status of odors that are emanating from the treatment tank. Atkins <br />has a Continuing Contract Agreement for Continuing Engineering Services that was approved by the Board <br />of County Commissioners (BCC) on April 17, 2018, and renewed on May 18, 2021. After the initial <br />assessment, it was determined that there are significant concerns affiliated with the odors produced by <br />this portion of the treatment process. Thus, staff requested a scope of services to evaluate, design, and <br />perform bid services for an odor control project. <br />Funding: <br />Total funding for Work Order No. 8 will be $129,149. The project is budgeted as a Utility Operating Capital <br />project in the Utilities/WIP/CWWTF Odor Control Construction account, number 471-169000-22513. <br />Since this is a Utilities operating capital fund account, the funds will come from fund balance. Utilities <br />operating funds are derived from water and sewer sales. <br />Description <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />Utilities/WIP/CWWTF Odor Control Construction <br />471-169000-22513 <br />$ 129,149 <br />10 <br />
