As a part of the <br /> contract. the County agreed to expand the water distribution system . On June 18 , 1996, the Indian River <br /> County Board of County Commissioners approved Staff' s recommendation for the County to proceed <br /> with the installation of water lines as set forth in the Inter- local Agreement between Indian River County <br /> and the City of Sebastian . ( See attached copy of minutes-Attachment 1 . ) Said Agreement provided for <br /> the transfer of the City of Sebastian ' s water and wastewater system to Indian River County . <br /> On March 20. 2001 , at a public hearing. the Board of County Commissioners approved Phase III-B , ( See <br /> attached agenda item and copy of minutes —Attachment 2 . ) . <br /> A \ALYSIS <br /> For bidding and construction efficiency staff proposes combining Phases III-B & III-C. When the final <br /> assessment is prepared at the completion of the two phases a single assessment roll will be prepared at an <br /> equalized tate. Staff is now ready to proceed with Phase III-C . <br /> Within the Phase III-C project, between Laconia & Barber Streets & between Crystal Mist Avenue . <br /> Rolling Hill ' s Drive & Bayfront Terrace, there are 899 lots and approximately 414 homes . to benefit from <br /> this project. Typical platted lot sizes are . 25 acre, plus or minus . <br /> Although more effective management of project construction , inspections . cash flows , and interaction <br /> with property owners is being accomplished by having divided Phases II and III into smaller projects staff <br /> believes that by combining Phase III-B and III-C and perhaps combining III-D and III-E property owners <br /> will benefit and obtain a more equalized cost. This is a result of input received at informational meetings . <br /> This may enable more utility construction contractors to bid on these projects possibly making the bid <br /> process more competitive. The attached map displays the area to benefit from the assessment projects , as <br /> divided into parts A, B , C, D & E . for Phase III ( Attachment 3 ) . This project will provide potable water <br /> and Fire protection to an area noted for failing well systems . The City of Sebastian is waiting for the <br /> completion of the water line installation in order to complete road & drainage improvements and comply <br /> with their roadway improvement bonding requirements . <br /> JULY 312001 8K J <br /> PG <br /> . 80 - <br /> 7777 <br /> 7 9 <br /> - 80 - <br /> sr <br />
