Background:
The County is requesting $2,485,500 from the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Drinking Water Revolving Fund Priority list for Fiscal Year 2023/2024. The FDEP has authorized the loan amount to Seminole County for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Lead Service Line Priority List. The attached BAR 24-031 will recognize $1,217,895 (49%) in grant revenue; it will transfer $1,167,605 from Water Utility Fund Reserves; and will transfer $100,000 from an existing Regulatory Compliance Support budget for a total project cost of $2,485,500.
Due to EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revision (LCRR), all public water systems are required to submit an initial service line material inventory as part of their system by Oct 16, 2024. The project will involve CDM Smith assisting Seminole County with identifying unknown water service lines and compiling initial material service line inventory. The engineering services to be provided include assistance with preparation of service line inventory, verification of unknown service lines, replacement planning and SOP, and other relevant LCRR requirements.
