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 the water main across the entire parcel’s frontage and end the system at the farthest end of the property. The County has the necessary funding in place to extend the water main an additional 231 feet beyond the property owner's 310-foot obligation to interconnect the system, improving the hydraulic benefit to the neighborhood.
In accordance with Resolution No. 21-R-381 approved by the Board on August 17, 2021, for a Share Agreement, the developer/property owner only pays the pro-rata share of the project based upon MCU low bid contactor’s price for the work. The 541-foot water main extension will serve one (1) additional parcel along the route of the water main extension. The project includes a road crossing and associated fittings, and FDEP permitting which is MCU’s sole responsibility. The County’s portion of the total cost is $36,174. The cost less County’s portion is the owners’ obligation totaling $45,121.50, for a pro-rata share or per parcel cost of $22,560.75.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral; Project cost is $81,295.50, and construction purchase order includes 10% contingency in accordance with the Procurement Manual. Funding is from ZF448536-563102 with project code UTC000094.
