US -95 -2 -1 -DC BACKGROUND On June 24, 1997, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approved a contract with Florida Design Contractors Inc., for the above - referenced project. The project is now complete and the department is prepared to make final payment. ANALYSIS The original contract amount for this project was $522,253.43. The proposed change order is for a deduction of $24,535.59 equating to a final contract price of $497,717.84. The cost reduction is the result of final quantity adjustments and minor re-engineering in the field during construction. The final pay request is in the amount of $52,623.00 and is attached along with a copy of the proposed final change order. A portion of the cost reduction is associated with the (Radio Telemetry Unit) RTU purchase for the main lift station (i.e., $7000.00).

The direct purchase price is $9,600.00 and will be accomplished by a purchase order. A portion of this contract was for improvements to the County's golf course irrigation system and will be funded by the Public Works Department. The final contract split between Indian River County Utilities and the Public Works Department is as follows: Utilities $478,720.30 Public Works $ 18,997.54 Total Project Cost $497,717.84 *Additional expenditure by the Utilities Department at a cost of $9,600.00 for the RTU, equates to a total project cost to Utilities of $488,320.30.
