DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:

On May 4, 2021, the Board approved a grant agreement for decommissioning the wastewater package plant at Oak Bend and connecting to Marion County Utilities (MCU) central wastewater collection system.  The Oak Bend wastewater treatment plant services the community of 242 homes.

 

On August 1, 2023, the Board approved Amendment No. 2, which extended the expiration date from October 31, 2023, to December 31, 2025, due to delays in reaching a wastewater service agreement with MHC Oak Bend, LLC (Developer).

 

Amendment No. 3 extends the completion date from December 31, 2025, to February 28, 2026, due to contractor discussions with Florida Department of Environmental Protection to expand the scope of the grant.  The scope includes expanding the construction of 13,000 linear feet of 6” wastewater force mains to connect the Oak Bend mobile home park to the MCU centralized system. 

 

BUDGET/IMPACT:

None
