Consent Item <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />Department of Utility Services <br />Board Memorandum <br />Date: January 19, 2023 <br />To: Michael C. Zito, Interim County Administrator <br />From: Sean C. Lieske, Director of Utility Services <br />Prepared by: Harrison Youngblood, PE, Utilities Engineer, Utility Services <br />Subject: Utility Work By Highway Contractor Agreement with FDOT for the Adjustment of Utility <br />Valves for the SR -60 Resurfacing from West of CR -512 to West of 94th Drive. <br />Background: <br />The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is planning to resurface SR -60 from County Road (CR) - <br />512 to west of 94th Drive. The resurfacing project is to begin in the summer of 2023. The resurfacing <br />project will require adjustment of utility valves located along State Route (SR) 60 from 100th Avenue to <br />west of 94th Drive. <br />Analysis: <br />Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) staff has been working with FDOT to provide <br />input into the resurfacing of west SR -60. Staff is of the opinion that the utility work (valve adjustments) <br />should be performed by the same contractor doing the resurfacing construction. Therefore, staff <br />requested FDOT prepare an agreement where the utility work will also be performed by the prospective <br />resurfacing contractor. <br />Funding: <br />The amount is based on the initial estimate that FDOT has included in the agreement, which is <br />$3,460.80, plus a 2% cost for administration and a 10% contingency cost. Since this is an IRCDUS <br />operating project, the total funds of $3,876.10 will come from the Utilities/Water Dist/Hydrants and <br />Valves Maintenance account, number 47126936-044660. Utilities operating funds are derived from <br />water and sewer sales. Upon notification by FDOT of their official estimate, there will be a need to go <br />back to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for approval of the official estimate. <br />Description <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />Utilities/Water Dist/Hydrants and Valves Maintenance <br />47126936-044660 <br />$3,876.10 <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the Florida Department of <br />Transportation - Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement, and authorize the Chairman to <br />execute and sign on their behalf. <br />Attachment: <br />1.
