MEMORANDUM Date: February 2, 2018 To: From: Through: RE: Patrick Lehman, P.E., Executive Director Ford Ritz, P.E., Project Engineer Mike Coates, P.G. Deputy Director Board Approval of Regional Integrated Loop System Phase 1 Pipeline Alignment Resolution 2018-02 Background & Recommendation: Property acquisition for this Project will require formal Board action on the preferred alignment for the Phase 1 Interconnect. Based upon information provided by the design consultant in their Phase 1 Interconnect Basis-of-Design-Report (BODR) and acceptance of the BODR, which included the preferred route, by the Board in February 2017, Authority staff recommends Board approval of Resolution No. 2018-02, A RESOLUTION DETERMINING THE NECESSITY TO CONSTRUCT A TRANSMISSION PIPELINE AND APPURTENANT FACILITIES CONNECTING TERMINUS OF THE PEACE RIVER MANASOTA REGIONAL WATER SUPPLY AUTHORITY DELIVERY SYSTEM ON U.S. 17 NEAR THE DESOTO COUNTY/CHARLOTTE COUNTY LINE, TO THE CITY OF PUNTA GORDA SHELL CREEK WATER TREATMENT PLANT ON SOUTH WASHINGTON LOOP ROAD IN CHARLOTTE COUNTY ( REGIONAL INTEGRATED LOOP SYSTEM, PHASE 1 ). Project Description and Background: The Integrated Regional Loop Phase 1 Project will provide a plant-to-plant connection between the Peace River Facility and the City of Punta Gorda Water Treatment Facility. The Phase 1 Project will extend approximately 6.3 miles from the terminus of the of the PRMRWSA Regional Transmission System on U.S. 17, south along U.S. 17, east along Washington Loop Road North, south along Three Rivers Road and across Shell Creek to the City of Punta Gorda Water Treatment Facility. The project includes approximately 33,000-ft of 24-inch diameter pipeline including a 3,500-lf subaqueous crossing of Shell Creek by horizontal directional drilling west of the Punta Gorda reservoir Hendrickson Dam, metering assemblies and has connection points at the Desoto County South Booster Pump Station on U.S. 17 and the Punta Gorda Water Treatment Facility. The Phase 1 Project will provide emergency water supply backup to Desoto County should there be an interruption in service from the Peace River Facility, provide water service to support future development along the U.S. 17 corridor in Charlotte County, deliver regional water to the City of Punta Gorda and will enhance water system reliability and supply options for the Region. The project is scheduled for completion in 2020. February 2, 2018 Phase 1 Pipeline Alignment
Discussion and Board Acceptance of Preferred Alignment The project will provide a critical regional interconnection between the Regional water supply system, Desoto County and the City of Punta Gorda municipal water systems. This interconnection allows the Region to supply the City with drinking water in case of emergency with the City s water treatment facilities, and allows the City to support the Region and Desoto County in times of need as well. The project design consultant, King Engineering Associates, analyzed multiple alternative alignments for the Phase 1 pipeline project in their Phase 1 Interconnect Basis of Design Report (BODR). King presented the draft Phase 1 Interconnect BODR at the December 7, 2016 Board Meeting. Route evaluations involved analysis of factors including but not limited to; environmental impacts; safety factors; long range planning; and costs for each alternative route. Route alternatives were ranked based on the results of these analyses, and the highest ranked alignment was Route 2 (preferred alignment) as discussed above. At the Authority s February 1, 2017 Board Meeting, King Engineering presented the final version (January 2017) of the Phase 1 Interconnect BODR, which included the preferred Route 2. With Board action to receive and file the January 2017 BODR for the Phase 1 Interconnect, Route 2 became the basis of the ongoing design of the project. A figure of Route 2 is attached, and the route is more completely described in the BODR. The project is currently at approximately 90% design completion. February 2, 2018 Phase 1 Pipeline Alignment
