SUBJECT:
Title
Request Approval of Grant Agreement WG064 Change Order Number 2 Between Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Marion County Utilities (Budget Impact - None)
Body
INITIATOR: DEPARTMENT:
Tony Cunningham, P.E., Director Utilities
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On April 4, 2022, the Board approved the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Grant Agreement WG064 to complete an additional phase of the septic-to-sewer initiative in Silver Springs Shores (SSS). The Master Wastewater Feasibility Study prioritized septic-to-sewer project areas within the SSS area because of the proximity to Silver Springs and proximity to existing sewer service. Eliminating septic systems in this area of Marion County would reduce the nutrient loading into Silver Springs. On October 17, 2023, the Board approved Change Order No. 1 to the FDEP Grant Agreement WG064, which eliminated Task 1 Contractor Selection, reallocated funds to construction, and added the GIS web interface of the DEP’s data collection tool.
For the new fiscal year, the FDEP is updating the grant year allocation of the Wastewater Grant funding from FY 2023-24 to FY 2024-25. To comply with these updates, Change Order No. 2 replaces Attachment 5-2 with Attachment 5-3, Revised Special Audit Requirements. All other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the Grant Agreement WG064 Change Order No. 2.
