body

BACKGROUND:

The School Board of Marion County notified City of Ocala of its intent to construct a new central warehouse facility located at 2091 NE 35^th St, Ocala, Florida. The new warehouse needs an 8-inch water supply for fire protection purposes. The City of Ocala water system can provide the connection and water supply needed.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:

The School Board of Marion County and City of Ocala Water Resources have agreed to design and construct a water main extension which is approximately 1,950 feet along NE 35^th St to serve the new warehouse.  Although the School Board requires an 8-inch water line, the City will extend a 12-inch water line to provide for future extension and capacity at a project cost of $349,844.50.  The cost to construct an 8-inch water line to meet the School Board’s needs is $255,099.50.  The School Board has agreed to pay half of the cost for the extension of an 8-inch water line that would meet their need. Extension of a 12-inch water line will allow the School Board of Marion County to accomplish their project and will give the opportunity for citizens nearby to have a water connection available which reduces the cost for the planned extension of City water infrastructure. Staff recommends approval.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total cost of the project is $349,844.50. This agreement is for a total amount of $255,099.50, with the School Board being responsible to provide $127,549.75.  The balance of funds from the City equal to $222,294.75 are available in 615-030-485-536-69-65010.
