DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On May 21, 2024, the Board approved Ordinance 2024-13 for the addition of the In-House Water Line Extension Program to include projects funded by the Board and construction/installation by Marion County Utilities (MCU) In-House Construction Crew. The Program requires the Board to establish, by Resolution, a one-time Capital Connection Fee establishing a pro rata-share for the parcels connecting residential dwellings (Benefitting Lots) participating in the Program and the payment terms and conditions applicable.
MCU is presenting a Resolution for the work required to complete all water main gaps within Marion Oaks Unit 4, which includes the installation of approximately 64,427 feet of six-inch and eight-inch water main and appurtenances to serve the project area as identified in the Resolution under Exhibit A. The total project cost is defined in the Resolution under Exhibit B, which includes a 10% contingency to allow for unforeseen circumstances during construction. The Resolution defines the project area, total project cost, capital connection fee per parcel, and identifies 745 benefitting lots.
The total anticipated project cost is derived from MCU construction cost ($23,026.60), right-of-way permitting fee (2 x $200), 10% contingency ($338,407.43), and plan design fee (37 x $700). When the pro rata share cost is derived for each parcel located within the project area, each owner will pay the anticipated pro rata share of $4,996.62 per parcel. Once the work is complete, a final resolution will be presented to the Board certifying MCU’s actual costs. Any overage paid by any benefitting lot owner will be refunded.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral; project cost is estimated to not exceed $3,722,481.77, which includes $25,900 design fee. Funding is from line ZF448536-563102 with Project Code UTC000099.
