Consent Item <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />Department of Utility Services <br />Board Memorandum <br />Date: April 19, 2023 <br />To: Board of County Commissioners <br />From: Sean C. Lieske, Director of Utility Services <br />Prepared by: Michael Loveday, Wastewater Superintendent <br />Subject: Final Pay to Paragon Electric of Vero, Inc., for Installation of Variable Frequency Drives <br />and Electronic Controls at the South Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility <br />Descriptions and Conditions: <br />In May 2020, Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) contacted Kimley-Horn and <br />Associates (KHA) to provide professional engineering evaluation services of the South Regional Wastewater <br />Treatment Facility reclaim water pump station variable frequency drives and electronic controls. KHA <br />provided Work Order No. 34 to provide design specifications, bid documents and construction support <br />services. At the July 7, 2020, Indian River County (IRC) Board of County Commissioners (BCC) meeting, the <br />work order received approval. With KHA assistance the project was put out for bid (Bid #2022020), and two <br />responsive bids were received. Paragon Electric of Vero, Inc. (Paragon) provided the lowest cost responsive <br />bid in the amount of $606,527.00. Bid #2022020 was awarded to Paragon at the February 1, 2022, IRC BCC <br />meeting. <br />Analysis: <br />Paragon has submitted Payment Application No. 5 in the amount of $40,111.95 for final pay. KHA has <br />recommended approval for the final payment. Paragon has received $536,355.47 for the project so far. <br />Payment in the amount of $40,111.95 will complete IRCDUS' obligation to Paragon for the amount of <br />$576,467.42. Contingency funds of $30,059.58 were not needed to complete the project. Thus, the <br />project was under budget by that amount. <br />Funding: <br />Funds, in the amount of $40,111.95, for the final payment will be split between two accounts: the <br />Utilities/Retainage/Retainage-Paragon Electric account, number 471-206000-20531, from which <br />$28,229.25 will be used; and the Utilities/WIP/SWWTF Reuse Control Panels account, number 471- <br />169000-20531, from which $11,882.70 will be used. Utilities operating funds are generated from water <br />and sewer sales. <br />ACCOUNT NAME ACCOUNT NUMBER AMOUNT <br />Utilities/WIP/SWWTF Reuse Control Panels 471-169000-20531 $11,882.70 <br />Utilities/Retainage/Retainage-Paragon Electric 471-206000-20531 $28,229.25 <br />205 <br />
