Baird, County Administrator <br />Vincent Burke, P.E., Director of Utility Services IP <br />Arjuna Weragoda, P.E., Capital Projects Manager Aw <br />Work Order No.3 with Kimley Horn and Associates for <br />Rehabilitation of Four (4) Existing Floridan Wells and Construction of Well <br />No.7 at South County RO Plant (SCRO) <br />DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS: <br />Indian River County Utilities (IRCU) owns and operates six (6) Floridan supply wells which are the raw <br />water supply and source water for the SCRO water treatment facility located on Oslo Rd. These wells <br />are the lifeblood of the treatment facilities and maintaining efficient operation of these well fields is <br />critical to the sustainability of the water system. <br />In November 2013, Kimley-Horn and Associates, completed an evaluation of the well field <br />performance. From that evaluation, it was determined that the rehabilitation of several wells is <br />necessary in order to restore capacity and reliability of the raw water supply to the water treatment <br />plant. In addition, the planned and previously permitted well No.7 was recommended to be <br />constructed concurrently with the well rehabilitation work in order to provide long term sustainability <br />of the raw water supply to the South plant. Please note that the construction of the additional well, <br />well No.7, is not meant to increase the withdrawal capacity from the Floridan Aquifer but merely to <br />add redundancy to the system. <br />The Engineers opinion of probable construction cost for well No.7 and the rehabilitation of four (4) <br />existing wells is approximately $1,842,000.00. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Staff requested that Kimley-Horn create a proposal for a rehabilitation program and technical <br />specifications for four (4) Floridan aquifer supply wells and a proposal for design, bidding, <br />construction and testing phase services for construction of well No. 7 at the SCRO Water Treatment <br />plant. The work order will be provided in accordance with the Extension and Amendment of the <br />Continuing Services Contract Agreement for Professional Services with Kimley-Horn and Associates <br />dated November 4, 2014. The scope is more specifically described in the attached Work Order No.3. <br />The total negotiated cost for the Floridan Well Rehabilitation and Construction of Well No. 7 outlined <br />F:\Utllitles\UTILITY - Engineering\WATER\WTP - South Ro\Well No. 7 Construction\Admin\Agenda WO No.3-Well Rehab and Construction of No.7 v2 <br />cmc.docx <br />105 <br />
