Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />Sean C. Lieske, Director of Utility Services <br />From: Howard G. Richards, PE, Manager - Capital Projects <br />Subject: Ixora Park Sewer Rehabilitation, Approval for FDEP Grant Agreement <br />Descriptions and Conditions: <br />Ixora Park Subdivision contains approximately 9,710 linear feet of vitrified clay pipe (VCP) gravity sewer and <br />23 manholes dating from 1952. A lift station connects the system from the northwest corner of the property <br />into a force main along 15Y Street Southwest. Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) has <br />discovered deficiencies in the VCP through sand buildup and weakening of the roadways, resulting in frequent <br />failures of the sanitary sewer system and sink holes in the community's roadways, presenting a public safety <br />hazard and service interruptions. <br />IRCDUS submitted a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Water Protection grant <br />application for the Ixora Park Sewer Rehabilitation project and was awarded $3,000,000.00 towards <br />"Contractual" costs for the project. Funding will be made available through a cost reimbursement grant, <br />which will require execution of the attached FDEP grant agreement (Agreement No. LPA0306). The FDEP <br />grant has a zero percent (0%) match requirement. Upon execution, Agreement No. LPA0306 will expire on <br />April 30, 2027. <br />Analysis: <br />The FDEP grant has a zero percent (0%) match requirement, and no funding is required for execution of <br />the same. <br />Funding: <br />No funding is required for execution of FDEP grant, Agreement No. LPA0306. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Chairman to sign the Florida <br />Department of Environmental Protection Grant Agreement No. LPA0306, and all necessary documents in <br />order to effectuate the grant agreement. <br />Attachments: <br />• FDEP Agreement No. LPA0306 <br />• Grant Form <br />86 <br />
