Also enclosed is a lien waiver from Okeechobee Asphalt and Concrete, Inc. This office has no record of any other subcontractors or vendors having provided materials or services on this project. Therefore, if the City has received no other Notices to Owner, we have no reason to believe that there are outstanding claims. The Contractor has forwarded a record set of specifications and drawings, which indicate no changes from the design. One item remains outstanding - a letter from the property owner on which the Contractor stored excess spoil. We have informed the Contractor that he must provide the City a letter of release from the property owner, with a copy to Knepper & Willard, Inc. This office previously conducted a final inspection and, with the exception of the letter, we are satisfied that the work has been completed and all terms of the contract have been fulfilled. ]hen the letter is provided, we recommend that the City release the final payment. Should you have any questions or require additional information in this regard, please contact us. Very truly yours, z 71"M INC. Daniel S.

The proposal is this, and the County is looking forward to formal acceptance by the City. 1. As a result of the appraisal process, the City Water System will be contributed to the "Authority". The value as derived by the appraisal will be matched by the County and contributed to the "Authority". No funding will be afforded to the City for the contribution to the Authority. 2. The County would request that spending of the recent bond issue (5.5 million) money, be curtailed until the process of the Utility Formation has a clear direction between the City and the County. 3. The County would request that any additional indebtedness not take place until the process of the Utility Formation has a clear direction between the City and the County. Please let me know the City's position on this matter as soon as Possible, as any delays on this matter can be costly to the resident users of the system.

Bion's proposal will describe an MSR based permittable wastewater treatment system that has the following features: 1. Provide the City with 1.3 million gallons per day (average daily flow) of FDER permitted wastewater treatment capacity. 2. Produce final effluent quality that meets or exceeds regulatory requirements. 3. Provide the City with a design, permit and build, fixed cost system for 2.6 million dollars. 4. Provide a system with low operation and maintenance costs. 5. Provide full capacity by the end of 1994. 6. Provide expansion capability at low cost to treat 2.0 million gallons per day (average daily flow) through adding offsite reuse or securing a discharge permit. 7. Meet FDER environmental enhancement goals for wastewater treatment and reuse. Okeechobee City Council April 2, 1993 Page 2 8. Provide distinct enhancement of the public image of the City by creating a large wetlands -like environmentally sound habitat. 9. Eliminate need for immediate acquisition (through lease or purchase) of additional offsite water disposal areas. 10. Provide the City with Bion's assistance in all regulatory interfaces concerning this project. 11. Will not require the City to pay for the plant until the modifications are complete and the plant is accepted by FDER. Bion believes that this represents an extremely sound wastewater treatment system expansion for the City. It will enhance the economic attractiveness of Okeechobee by providing additional capacity at an early date while holding debt service costs and customer rate charges at a lower level than might otherwise be possible. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Drago, City Administrator RE: Groundwater Treatment Plant Bids Dear Mr. Drago: C] March 11, 1993 / On February 18, 1993, fourteen bids on the referenced project were received. A bid tabulation is enclosed for your reference. The low bid is from Butler Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $2,765,000. This is well within the original construction cost estimate. We have investigated the qualifications of the low bidder and the various named subcontractors. Copies of the information supplied by the low bidder are enclosed. Our investigation has revealed that, in our opinion, Butler Construction Company, Inc. has suitable credentials to perform this work. This project will be amongst the largest of this type they have completed. However, they received an excellent reference from Indian River County on a similar size effort. We do have some reservations related to some of the named subcontractors. Under the contract we have the right to request a change in subcontractors after award, subject to adjustment of cost. We will plan to watch this very closely and make the adjustments if performance so dictates. We recommend award to Butler Construction Company, Inc. in the low bid amount of $2,765,000. Please advise if Council elects to proceed with this recommendation. We will prepare contract documents and direct the Contractor to proceed with securing bonds immediately after award. If you have questions or wish to discuss this further, please call. wdr-056 90-171.1 Very truly yours, William D. Reese, P.E. E 9121 N.
