CHANDLER COUNTY ADNIINISTRATOR FROM: DONALD R. HUBBS, PX - DIRECTOR OF UTILITY S� PREPARED JAMES D. CHASTAIN AND STAFFED MANAGER OF ASSESSMENT PROJECTS BY: SUBJECT: SEBASTIAN WATER EXPANSION PHASE II -C RESOLUTIONS I AND II INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UW -97 -12 -DS BACKGROUND On September 29, 1995, Indian River County entered into an Inter -local Agreement with the City of Sebastian to assume ownership of the City's water distribution and wastewater collection systems. As a part of the contract, the County agreed to expand the water distribution system. On June 18, 1996, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approved Option 1 in order for the County to proceed with the installation of water lines as set forth in the Inter -local Agreement between Indian River County and the City of Sebastian. (See attached memorandum and copy of minutes.) Said Agreement provided for the transfer of the City of Sebastian's water and wastewater system to Indian River County. On September 1, 1998, at a public hearing, the Board of County Commissioners approved Phase II- B. The bid opening was held on October 27, 1998, and this portion of the Phase II project is now under construction and should be completed by August 1999. (See attached agenda item and copy of minutes.) We are now ready to proceed with Phase II -C. ANALYSIS Within the Phase II project area, between CR 512 and Main Street, there are 3,461 lots. This area will be 160% the size of the recently completed Phase I project. Approximately 50% of the lots have existing residences (some 1,750 homes) to benefit from this project. Typical lot sizes are .25 acre, plus or minus. Phase II -C includes 562 lots and approximately 324 homes. More effective management of project construction, inspections, cash flows and interaction with Property owners is being accomplished by having divided Phases II and III into smaller projects. See attached letter from the Office of the City Manager of the City of Sebastian, who has also requested that this water expansion project include smaller, more manageable projects for the City and the County. This will enable more utility construction companies to bid on these projects making the bid process more competitive. The attached map displays the area to benefit from the assessment projects, as divided into parts A, B, C, D & E, for Phase II. JUNE 19 1999 -31- % B 0 0 K 109 P,,' . J
