Body
Auerbach Associates, on behalf of the property Owner, Dabby Properties, is requesting authorization for an outside sewer connection to the City’s Sanitary Sewer district to serve a community shopping center - retail building with a total combined area of 6,464 sq. ft., which shall be subject to the requirements of the Public Work Department, as set forth in Chapter 62 and 78 of the City Code, Ordinance No. 2007-29 and No. 2009-39, and Resolution No. 2008-07.
The property is located outside of the City’s sewer service area and the project proposes to install a new private pump station which will allow discharge directly through the City of Coral Gables’ force main. As per Miami-Dade Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER), the new Pump Station shall have sufficient capacity for the proposed project and all downstream pump stations, including the treatment plant.
The request consists of a sewer extension of private gravity lines to connect into proposed private pump station discharging through proposed private force main. From this lift station, the flow will ultimately connect through new private force main into the City of Coral Gables’ force main located along Ponce de Leon that flows in the City’s manifold force main system.
The property Owner agrees to comply with the terms outlined in Ordinance Nos. 2007-29 and 2009-39 (City Code Section 78-106), and Resolution No. 2008-07 and enter into an agreement, according to the applicant’s Letter of Agreement, to be approved by the City Attorney.
Concurrently, upon signing the agreement, the property Owner agrees to pay the City of Coral Gables a connection fee based on the estimated daily peak flow. The estimated daily peak flow was estimated based on the proposed additional average flows of 2,158 GPD and a peak factor demand of 4. Based on an estimated peak flow demand of 8,632 GPD, the fee is estimated to be $18,127.20.
The property Owner shall provide a Maintenance or other Surety Bond in the amount of five percent (5%) of the construction cost to assure timely repairs of the property Owner’s facilities, should a failure occur. Said Bond is to run in perpetuity or until the connection is no longer required.
The property Owner shall provide Liability Insurance in the amounts required by Resolution No.2008-07, naming the City as additional insured, and covering any damages to public and private property due to failure in the customer’s facilities. A Certificate of Insurance shall be required at the execution of the agreement in a form acceptable to the City of Coral Gables.
The property Owner shall provide the City with final plans and certifications for approval by the Public Works Department and Miami-Dade’s RER.
The property Owner shall secure all required permits to perform this project.
Upon approval of Aurbach Associates’ Letter of Agreement, an agreement will be executed and shall be made part of this Resolution and be kept in the office of the City Clerk.
