CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: JAMES W. DAVIS <br />ACTING UTILITIES DIRECTOR <br />STAFFED AND WILLIAM F. McCAIN, P.E <br />PREPARED BY: CAPITAL PROJECTS ENG. <br />4& <br />SUBJECT: CENTRAL REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT <br />PLANT. ADDITIONAL PROPERTY PURCHASE <br />INVESTIGATION. INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />PROJECT NO. US -95 -23 -DC <br />BACKGROUND <br />On September 16, 1997 the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners <br />granted site plan approval of the above referenced project (See attached agenda and <br />minutes). At this meeting several future site constraints were discussed with the primary <br />concern being storm water retention in future phases of expansion. As a result of very <br />tight property constraints and future DEP requirements for on-site non -spec eluent <br />storage, unacceptable additional capital expense would be incurred by the county for <br />construction of subsequent phases. This occurs due to the necessity of constructing a 6 <br />MGD (@ build -out) non -spec storage tank above grade to allow storm water retention <br />areas to remain under the tank. Previous attempts to purchase property to the North and <br />West of the facility have failed in dead locked negotiations. The Utilities Department now <br />wishes to evaluate a property to the east of the central plant site for construction of the <br />required effluent storage facility. Please reference the attached location and tax maps. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The additional future construction cost associated with the construction of the non -spec <br />effluent at the existing site is projected between $500,000.00 and $900,000.00. This cost <br />is due solely to the necessity to elevate this structure. Staff is proposing to investigate a <br />10 acre site, which we feel can be purchased for a substantially lower cost than the <br />additionally projected construction cost. We are therefore before the County Commission <br />to request authorization to perform a survey of the property and proceed with an <br />appraisal. These actions will be accomplished by acquiring the quotes for the services <br />from a list of County approved short listed firms and issuing a purchase order to the <br />lowest quoted firm Following completion of the above staff will proceed with preliminary <br />negotiations for the property and return to the Board with a recommendation. Funding <br />for these professional services will be from account 475-000-169-244.00, and will not <br />exceed $2500.00. <br />January 20, 1998 <br />65 <br />EUUK 104 PACE.it , <br />
