SUBJECT:
Title
Request Approval of Water Main Extension Connection Agreement WME-066-S Between Quick Flip Rentals, Inc. and Marion County Utilities (Budget Impact - Neutral; estimated expenditure of $62,902)
Body
INITIATOR: DEPARTMENT:
Tony Cunningham, P.E., Director Utilities
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
In accordance with Land Development Code section 6.14.2, developers (property owners) are required to connect to public utilities if the property is within connection distance. For a single-family residence, the connection distance is 400 feet from the parcel’s closest corner to the public water main. In this case, the property owner is required to connect to the public water main provided by Marion County Utilities (MCU) and would be required to install 350 feet of eight-inch water main, which includes the parcel’s frontage ending at the farthest end of the property. This extension project will create a benefit for six (6) additional parcels along the route.
A Board approved Resolution No. 21-R-381 authorizes certain circumstances to permit MCU to enter into a Share Agreement whereby each parcel connection to MCU centralized water system pays only a share of the project cost based upon MCU low bid contractor’s price for the work. The total project cost is $62,901.50, which includes construction ($62,201.50) and design ($700) costs. The fire hydrant cost of $8,700 will be at MCU sole expense. The total share cost is $54,201.50, which is divided by six (6) benefitting parcels totaling $9,033.58 per parcel.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral; project cost is $62,901.50 and construction purchase order includes 10% contingency in accordance with the Procurement Manual. Funding is from ZF448536-563102 with project code UTC000094.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
