ANALYSIS
<br />On April 18, 2002 at 7:00 p.m., an informational meeting was held for the benefit of the property owners, in the
<br />multi—purpose room at the Pelican Island Elementary School in Sebastian.
<br />Within the Phase III -D & III -E project area, East & West of Laconia Street, between Clearmont Street & Capon
<br />Terrace, and between Granduer & Gladiola Avenue's there are 1433 lots and approximately 602 homes, to benefit
<br />from this project. Typical platted lot sizes are .25 acre, plus or minus.
<br />More effective management of project construction, inspections, cash flows, and interaction with property owners is
<br />being accomplished by having divided Phases II and 11I into smaller projects, possibly making the bid process more
<br />competitive. The attached map displays the area to benefit from the assessment projects, as divided into parts A, B,
<br />C, D & E, for Phase [II (Attachment 2) This project will provide potable water and fire protection to an area noted
<br />for failing well systems. The City of Sebastian is waiting for the completion of the water line installation in order to
<br />complete road & drainage improvements and comply with bonding requirements.
<br />Engineering design has been completed by the staff of the Department of Utility Services for Phase III -D & III -E
<br />and we are now ready to begin the assessment process associated with this project, as outlined herein. A summary
<br />assessment roll for Phase III -D & II[ -E is attached (Attachment 4). The full assessment roll is on file in the
<br />commission office. This project is to be paid through the assessment of property owners along the proposed water
<br />line route. Financing will be from the assessment fund 473. If needed, inter -fund borrowing will be available from
<br />the capacity fee fund 472. The estimated project cost and amount to be assessed for Phase's II1-D and III -E is
<br />$3,166,394.30 (Attachment -3). The estimated cost per square foot is $0.217507 (rounded). The actual assessed
<br />cost, as with any project will be determined based on actual competitive bid prices.
<br />On April 1, 2002, a letter was sent to the City Manager, of the City of Sebastian, with a copy of a draft agenda item,
<br />summary assessment roll and a map of the project area (Attachment 5).
<br />RECOMMENDATION
<br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the
<br />attached Resolution III, which affirms the preliminary assessment on the subject project.
<br />Manager of Assessment Projects Dan Chastain briefly reviewed the project for the
<br />Board.
