ENT PROJECTS BY: DEPARTMENT • ILITY SERVICES SUBJECT: SEBASTIAN WATER EXPANSION PHASE III -B INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO UW -97 -17 -DS RESOLUTIONS I AND II BACKGROUND On September 29, 1995. Indian River County entered into an 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 Staff's recommendation 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 copy of minutes -Attachment 1.) Said Agreement provided for the transfer of the City of Sebastian's water and wastewater system to Indian River County. On October 24, 2000, at a public hearing, the Board of County Commissioners approved Phase III -A, which is presently under construction and should be completed by August 2001. (See attached agenda item and copy of minutes —Attachment 2.) Staff is now ready to proceed with Phase III -B ANALYSIS Within the Phase III -B project, East of Laconia Street & West of Shakespeare Street, between Crystal Mist & Lanfair Avenue's, there are 530 lots and tracts, and approximately 239 homes, to benefit from this project. Typical platted lot sizes are .25 acre, plus or minus. 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. This may enable more utility construction contractors to bid on these projects possibly 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 III (Attachment 3) This project will provide potable water and fire protection to an area noted for failing well systems. The City of Sebastian is waiting for the completion of the water line installation in order to complete road & drainage improvements and comply with bonding requirements.
