Consent Item Indian River County, Florida Department of Utility Services Board Memorandum Date: May 17, 2024 To: Indian River County Board of County Commissioners Through: John A. Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator Sean C. Lieske, Director of Utility Services From: Howard G. Richards, PE, Manager—Capital Projects Prepared by: Robert J. Tobar, E.I., Associate Engineer Subject: Amendment No.3 to Work Order No. 14 to Bowman Consulting Group, Ltd., and Payment to Escape Ranch for North County 24 -Inch Force Main Replacement IRCDUS Project ID: 21.23.503 Background: Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) manages lift station 203, which is located at the decommissioned North Wastewater Treatment Facility (NWWTF). Lift Station 203 receives sewage from a 24 -inch ductile iron force main that runs west to the facility from Old Dixie Highway. The 24 -inch force main is the primary force main carrying sewage from Indian River County's north wastewater service area directly to lift station 203, then pumped to the IRCDUS Central Wastewater Treatment Facility (CWWTF). The pipeline is significantly corroded, and it has been determined that the likelihood of failure is very high. In addition, the consequences of failure include significant damage to private property thus exposing IRCDUS to significant risk. On February 21, 2023, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Work Order No. 14 (WO 14) to Bowman Consulting Group, Ltd. (Bowman) — pursuant to Bowman's CCNA 2018 contract, renewed, and extended in 2021— in the amount of $88,230.00 to provide design, bid support, and services during construction (SDC) for the North County 24 -Inch Force Main Replacement ("Project"). On October 17, 2023, the BCC approved Amendment 1 to WO 14, for Bowman to provide additional services to change the alignment of the force main, in the amount not -to -exceed $20,296.34. Then on February 20, 2024, the BCC approved Amendment 2 to WO 14 in the amount of $1,320.00, for additional tortoise survey. Design for the Project is now complete and is transitioning to the bid phase. However, additional project requirements have been identified that will impact Bowman's scope of service and the overall project budget. To proceed with the bid phase and subsequent construction phase, IRCDUS seeks to amend WO 14 to revise the bid document to provide off-site gopher tortoise relocation, and to request approval to pay management and monitoring fees to a permitted relocation site.
