Bittle and Stoddard, LLC, for an additional amount of $18,741.88, for a new total contract amount of $78,241.88, as recommended in the memorandum of January 6, 2014. DOCUMENT ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD 12..!.2. COST RECOVERY OPTIONS ON THE 66TH AVENUE WATER MAIN PROJECT FROM 8TH STREET TO 16TH STREET - INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT No: UCP 4040 Director Burke provided background, description, and analysis on the 66th Avenue Water Main Project, which will enable certain property owners outside of the Urban Service Area (USA) on 66th Avenue to connect to the County's water line if they wish. He noted that as part of the project, the Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) chose to extend the piping across the relief canal for a looped system that would benefit the Utilities Department. He explained that this project is unique because the property owners will not be assessed 100% for the project costs; connection is voluntary, and it will be hard to recoup costs, due to the low density of rate payers who will be tying into the system. After providing an analysis of five scenarios for recouping project costs, Director Burke recommended that the Board select Scenario No. 2, a 70/30 split with the property owners from 8t11 Street to 16th Street, who connect to the water line, paying 70% of the project costs ($13, 637.29 per parcel minus impact and connection fees), and the County paying the remaining 30%. The Board questioned Director Burke on the scenarios he had presented, and asked why the IRCDUS decided to loop the water system across the relief canal. Deliberations ensued on the best way to recoup the County's costs while dividing them fairly among the property owners who tap into the line. January 21, 2014 11
