HOTCHKISS, P.E. 0WAND STAFFED ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER /T BY: _.DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES SUBJECT: 9TH COURT WATER LINE LOOP CONNECTION AUTHORIZATION FOR DESIGN, PERMITTING AND CONSTRUCTION INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UW -97 -08 -DS WIP NO. 472-000-169-252.01 LABOR CONTRACT NO. 4007 BACKGROUND On October 25, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners authorized the Department of Utility Services to proceed with extending a water main to provide water service to the residents along 9th Court, between 2nd Street and 4th Street (see attached agenda item and meeting minutes). The water main was constructed south along 9th Court from an existing main on 4th Street to within 230 feet of 2nd Street. However, a utility easement was not in place to allow the water main to be connected to an existing main on 2nd Street, thus providing a looped distribution system (this will increase fire flow capacity, improve the quality of drinking water and eliminate the need to periodically flush the line). Since then, staff has obtained the necessary easement to allow connecting the two systems together (see attached copy of utility easement). On September 21, 1993, the Board of County Commissioners approved the award of -the Labor Contract (Bid No. 4007) to. Driveways, Inc. (See attached meeting minutes for contract renewal). We request that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached contract with Driveways, Inc. to construct the necessary facilities to connect the two systems. ANALYSIS In order to provide a looped system, the 4" diameter PVC water main on 9th Court will have to be extended 230 linear feet to an existing 8" diameter water main on 2nd Street. The estimated cost to extend the water main under the labor contract is $10,286.79. This includes $3,944.60 for labor, $2,679.75 for material, a 10% contingency of $662.44 and $3,000.00 for engineering, permitting and administrative cost (see attached cost estimates). All services will be done in-house. Funding for the project will be obtained from the impact fee fund. RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to proceed with design and permitting, approve the contract with Driveways, Inc. in the amount of $3,944.60, and authorize the Chairman to execute same, as presented. 32 JULY 89 1997
