RE: Reuse Main and Sewer Force Main
Through the Ocoee Commons PUD Development
ISSUE
Should the Mayor and City Commission approve the designing of the upsizing on the reuse main
and the relocation of the sewer force main through the Ocoee Commons PUD Development and
authorize Public Works Department to employ the services of Design Service Group, Inc. (DSG,
Inc.).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Ocoee Commons PUD Development is planned for the area between Blackwood Avenue,
north of SR 50, and the West Orange Professional Center north to the Highlands of Ocoee
subdivision. The development will include commercial, medium density residential, and low
density residential developments and a roadway system that will join SR 50 to Montgomery
Avenue. The development will also be installing water, sewer, and reuse mains for their
development in accordance with City standards.
The City currently has a reuse distribution system along Clarke Road from the Orchard Park
subdivision on the north end to the West Oaks Mall on the south end of Clarke Road. There is
also a reuse distribution system along Maguire Road from Roberson Road north to Professional
Parkway. This southern service area will be expanded during the improvements to Old Winter
Garden Road and Professional Parkway to add the area from Maguire Road east to Blackwood
Avenue. In looking at the map this leaves a missing link between Old Winter Garden Road at
Blackwood Avenue and Clarke Road at White Road.
In designing for the upsizing of the reuse mains through the Ocoee Commons development this
would start to fill in that missing link to connecting Ocoee's two reuse service areas. The
upsizing would only be for the pipeline running from the intersection of Blackwood Avenue and
SR 50 north to where the new development connects to Montgomery Road. Staff proposes to
upsize the pipeline to 16 inch diameter to match the pipelines on Clarke and Maguire Roads.
The project would be bid with both options and the developer would pay for the pipeline
required by their development and the City would pay for the difference from installing the 16
inch pipeline and the 8 inch pipeline needed by the developer. The approval of the construction
dollars will be brought to the City Commission after the project bids are received for separate
approval. This project has been coordinated with the developers, Ustler Fagan, Inc., and they are
all for getting reuse water to their development. DSG Inc. is the engineer of record for Ustler
Fagen on the Ocoee Commons PUD development.
In addition, this development site is in line with where the relocated force main from SR 50
would generally be located. Because of the leaks of the SR 50 force main and the relocation
needed because of the future widening of SR 50, the force main can be relocated to the Maine
Street right-of-way and be upsized at the same time. The new force main would only be
designed where it runs through the Ocoee Commons development at this time.
By performing the design at this time and in using the service of DSG, Inc., it allows the City to
save money on the design because we are using the same engineer and they are using their
survey and background design data. If the City were to perform the design by itself and do all
the work from the start, the design costs would probably be triple what DSG, Inc. is proposing.
In addition if the City waits to perform the design and construction at a later date, after the
development has been built out, the costs would be significantly higher than those expected if we
perform the work while the development is being constructed.
DSG, Inc. proposed fee for design and permitting of the pipeline projects is $9,950 plus
expenses. It is anticipated that those expenses will not exceed $1,000. Therefore the projected
design services will not exceed $10,950. This project will be funded through the Waste Water
Capitol Funds account.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the employment of Design
Service Group, Inc. to perform the design of the upsizing of the reuse main and new master force
main through the Ocoee Commons PUD development. In addition, staff recommends that the
Mayor and City Commission approve the award of the design to Design Service Group, Inc. in
the amount not to exceed $10,950 and authorize staff to prepare a contact for execution at a later
date.

Re: Engineering Proposal
Sanitary Force Main Improvements
Ocoee Commons PUD
City of Ocoee, Florida
DSG Project No.04-012
Dear Mr. Wheeler:
We appreciate the opportunity to offer our proposal to provide Site Engineering services for the above-
referenced project. We have included an allowance for the time needed to coordinate our efforts with
City staff or other consultants whose services may be required to complete the sanitary force main design.
Our proposal is based on the utilization of geotechnical, environmental engineering, and surveying
services previously performed for and certified to our client, the PUD developer, Ocoee Commons, LLC.
Further, this proposal assumes that the design and specifications for the City sanitary force main will be
provided within the Ocoee PUD Final Subdivision Plans, prepared for Ocoee Commons, LLC, by
modifying and/or adding information or specifications to the final plans as necessary for the City to
review, approve, permit and bid the construction as a separate line item within those plans and
specifications. The intent of these services is to assist the City in the planning and construction of utility
infrastructure concurrently with the installation of Ocoee Commons PUD subdivision improvements.
The limits of our sanitary force main design and route are based on the reduced size, partial subdivision
plan sketch attached herewith. Our proposal assumes that you have obtained permission from Ocoee
Commons, LLC to modify their plans and utilize their subconsultant services. Any increase in our scope
of services or additional subconsultant services (i.e., surveying, geotechnical) will be considered
Additional Services and invoiced separately per our Standard Rate Schedule, Exhibit "A," contained
within the Contract for Engineering Services attached herewith.
We are forwarding herewith two `original" copies of our proposal. Should you find our proposal
acceptable, please sign both copies and return one to our office. We will be able to commence work
immediately upon their receipt.
