| | | | | | | | | Background: | | Nassau County and Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA) previously entered into an Interlocal Agreement Relating to the Provision of Utility Services to the Nassau County Amelia Utility (NAU) Water and Wastewater Utility System allowing FGUA to provide utility services to Nassau County by carrying out certain capital repair and replacement project administration services as directed by Nassau County and consistent with the budget. Nassau County recognizes the need to prosecute certain additional capital improvement projects, minor and major, to improve utility infrastructure and expand services beyond repair and replacement as identified in the course of FGUA's management services role. These projects include a complex water and sewer conversion construction project in the American Beach community, a re-metering project and other priority service improvement activities within the NAU service area which may also involve the pursuit, securing and administration of external grant and loan funding sources with other governmental support agencies to support these projects. Certain projects, particularly the American Beach water and sewer conversion project may involve the development of a property special assessment revenue component which will require specialized expertise to comply with applicable law. FGUA has performed this type of work for more than twenty years throughout the state of Florida and possesses the unique, dedicated experience and expertise to provide Nassau County with water and wastewater utility capial project and related grant administration and special assessment services. FGUA also has a unique familiarity with Nassau County's NAU system and has developed relationships with various water and wastewater funding agencies to facilitate Nassau County's funding of and prosecution of the projects. | | Request: | Authorize the Chairman to approve and execute the Interlocal Agreement between Nassau County and the Florida Governmental Utility Authority for Water and Wastewater Utility Capital Project and Related Grant/Loan Administration and Special Assessment Services
