Summary Explanation and Background:
The County will be constructing drainage improvements along N. Riverside Drive located in Indialantic. These improvements will mitigate flooding issues created by large storm events. There are existing abandoned utilities owned by the City of Melbourne within the County’s project limits. The City desires to have these abandoned utilities removed that, in certain locations, conflict with the County’s construction of the drainage improvements. Specifically, a portion of two (2) existing 12” abandoned water mains will be removed on behalf of the City.
To promote efficiency and prevent unnecessary duplication of effort, the County and the City have agreed that the abandoned utilities in conflict will be removed in conjunction with the County’s construction of the drainage improvements being performed by the County’s Construction Manager at Risk, RUSH Construction, Inc. The City of Melbourne will fully fund the removal of its abandoned utilities, estimated at $15,000.
The terms and conditions of this partnership are established in the Interlocal Agreement. In accordance with Administrative Order 29, the Agreement has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney’s Office, Risk Management, and Purchasing Services. The City of Melbourne approved the Interlocal Agreement at its January 14, 2025, Council meeting.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
Please return the fully executed Interlocal Agreement (original) to the Public Works Department for further recording in the public records of Brevard County.
