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 Staffs 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. Said Agreement provided for the transfer of the City of Sebastian's water and wastewater system to Indian River County. On July 24, 2001, at a public hearing, the Board of County Commissioners approved combining Phase's III -B & III -C for construction and bidding purposes. Construction of Phase III -B is complete and III -C should be completed by September 2002. (See attached agenda item and copy of minutes —Attachment 1.) Staff is now ready to proceed with Phase's III -D & IH -E, which will complete the installation of approximately 109.4 miles of water lines in Sebastian Highlands. ANALYSIS Within the Phase III -D & III -E project area. East & West of Laconia Street. between Clearmont Street & Capon Terrace. and between Granduer & Gladiola Avenue's there are 1433 lots and tracts, and approximately 602 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 has enabled 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 2) 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 fine installation in order to complete road & drainage improvements and comply with bonding requirements. Engineering design has been completed by the staff of the Department of Utility Services and we are now ready to begin the assessment process associated with this project, as outlined herein. A summary assessment roll for Phase III -D & E is attached (Attachment 4). The full assessment roll is on file in the commission office. This project is to be paid through the assessment of property owners along the proposed water line route. Financing will be from the assessment fund 473. If needed, inter -fund borrowing will be available from the capacity fee fund 472. The estimated project cost and amount to be assessed for Phase's III -D & III -E is S 3,166,394.30 (rounded) (Attachment -3). The estimated cost per square foot is 50.217507 (rounded). The actual assessed cost. as with any project will be determined based on actual competitive bid prices April 9, 2002 52 3U� Project No. Lots Parcel Nos./ Homes I.D. -ALL OF PHASE Locations SOUTH OF CR 512 & HI IS SOUTHWEST OF BARBER STREET III -A UW -97 -I6 -DS 891 786 / 384 South of Caravan Terrace with Periwinkle Drive along the South & West III -B UW -97 -17 -DS 530 458 / 239 East of Laconia St.& West of Shakespeare Si.
