US -97 -01 -CS WIP NO. 472-000-169-320.00 BACKGROUND On January 15, 1997 The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a developer's agreement to construct the first phase of a wastewater collection system between U.S. Highway 1 and the Indian River, north of Cleveland Street up to Washington Street in Sebastian (see attached copy of meeting minutes). Construction of the project is now complete and the system has been cleared by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to accept sewage. On January 20, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved staff to proceed with engineering, design, permitting and bid of the above -referenced project (see attached copy of meeting minutes). Only one bid was submitted on April 8, 1998 by Driveways, Inc. in the amount of $65,493.00(see attached bid proposal). However, after further evaluation of the site, the contractor expressed concern that construction of the gravity line could result in extensive change orders that would drive project costs above the estimated $92,400.00.
