11.G.1. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENTS - <br />RFP 8048 <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 3, 1998: <br />TO: James E. Chandler, <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. <br />Public Works Director <br />SUBJECT: Indian River County Stomiwater Management Improvements - RFP 8048 <br />DATE: March 3, 1998 <br />In the FY 98/99 Local Option Sales Tax Capital Improvement Program, $1.1 Million has <br />been allocated for drainage improvement throughout the County. The County staff has <br />designed the Vero Beach Highlands - Highland Drive Culvert Replacement project in- <br />house(approximate cost $160,000). Additional projects will require professional <br />engineering and environmental services that staff will be hard pressed to perform in-house. <br />Two of the drainage projects, the Gifford area west of the FEC Railroad and the Roseland <br />Area Flood plains, will require extensive environmental permitting. Staff is of the opinion <br />that outside drainage and environmental consultants are needed. The alternatives <br />presented are: <br />Alternative No_ 1 <br />Authorize staff to publish the attached request for-proposal(RFP # 8048) and <br />receive proposals from qualified consultants. <br />Perform design work in-house but use outside environmental consultants for <br />wetland delineation and protected species. <br />Staff recommends Alternative No. 1. Funding shall be by Local Option Sales Tax <br />Program. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, that the <br />Board authorize staff to publish the request for <br />proposal (RFP 8048) and receive proposals from <br />qualified consultants, as recommended by staff. <br />MARCH 10, 1998 <br />• -64- <br />• <br />
