Summary Explanation and Background:
The Board of County Commissioners, in regular session on February 9, 2021, approved the 2021 Save Our Indian River Lagoon Plan Update. This update and all prior plan versions included partial funding through the Save Our Indian River Lagoon Trust Fund for the City of Palm Bay North Area Water Reclamation Facility Upgrade.
Construction of the City of Palm Bay North Area Water Reclamation Facility Upgrade is approximately 80% complete. The contractor has been waiting over four months for the remaining construction supplies to be delivered and now anticipates a final completion date in December 2021. However, final completion is dependent on the suppliers’ and manufacturers’ receipt of raw materials.
Per the Save Our Indian River Lagoon contract, time extensions for longer than two six-month periods must be approved by the Board. The City has requested a third 6-month extension.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
Please execute two original copies of Amendment 3 as provided in Attachment A.
