Summary Explanation and Background:
Construction of the Flamingo Drive - Basin 1280 B Denitrification Project provides for the installation of an underground treatment chamber filled with biosorption-activated media that will reduce nutrient discharges to the Banana River Lagoon.
This cost-sharing agreement, #38968 with the SJRWMD, is a replacement for the cost-sharing agreement #37977, dated December 5, 2022. The prior agreement was for 25% of the total construction costs not to exceed $54,732.00 for the Flamingo Drive - Basin 1280 B Denitrification Project. The proposed agreement is for 100% of the estimated construction cost for the project or $220,000.00, whichever is less.
The increase in grant funds offered will provide savings of both Stormwater fees and Save Our Indian River Lagoon cost share previously approved by the County Commission for this project.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
Provide two executed copies of the agreement to NRM.
