Consent Item vAE <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />Department of Utility Services <br />Board Memorandum <br />Date: June 8, 2023 <br />To: Indian River County Board of County Commissioners <br />Through: John A. Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />Sean C. Lieske, Director of Utility Services <br />From: Howard G. Richards, PE, Manager, Capital Projects <br />Prepared by: Robert J. Tobar, EI, Utility Design Engineer <br />Subject: Amendment No. 1 to Centerline, Inc. for West Wabasso Septic to Sewer Phase 3B Project <br />Background: <br />The Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) is undertaking a multi -phase Septic to <br />Sewer (S2S) Program to convert residential and commercial properties on septic systems to connect with <br />the IRCDUS sewer network. <br />The current phase of the S2S Program comprises the West Wabasso Phase 3 S2S project, which originally <br />included all the work associated with 58th Court, 59th Avenue, and 61St Drive. Grants from Saint Johns River <br />Water Management District (SJRWMD) and Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) were <br />obtained for the entire project. Both grants imposed strict deadlines for completion of the project. <br />Due to difficulties with location (siting) for a new lift station for 6152 Drive, the project was divided into <br />two phases, Phase 3A (61st Dr.) and Phase 3B (58th Ct. & 59th Ave), to mitigate the ensuing schedule delays. <br />Dividing Phase 3 enabled IRCDUS to move forward with construction of Phase 3B while working out the <br />lift station siting needs for Phase 3A. <br />On September 13, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) awarded Bid 2022050 West Wabasso <br />S2S Phase 3B to Centerline, Inc. (Centerline), the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. West Wabasso <br />S2S Phase 3B is currently under construction, and Phase 3A is approaching completion of design and <br />permitting. <br />Discussion: <br />A competitive solicitation has already been awarded for West Wabasso S2S Phase 3B that received two <br />(2) qualified respondents. West Wabasso S2S Phases 3A and 3B are under the same multiple grants, <br />deadlines of completion, and scope of work. Due to delays caused by the siting of the lift station for Phase <br />3A, there is now very limited time to meet the schedule deadline imposed by the SJRWMD grant. IRCDUS <br />has deemed that it is most expeditious to amend the Centerline contract to incorporate the construction <br />of Phase 3A. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />275 <br />
