BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: July 1, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: College Blvd Eglin Easement Amendment #1
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: District: 1
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Staff requests the Board of County Commissioners execute
Amendment #1 of a previous utility easement between Okaloosa County Water & Sewer and
Eglin Air Force Base for the East County Sewer Conveyance Improvements Project.
BACKGROUND: In 2011, OCWS staff identified the need for an Eglin AFB easement to
install approximately 5 miles of 16'' sewer force main in the Rocky Bayou area. A portion of the
new force main that was to be replaced in the area was located along East College Blvd along
Eglin Air Force Base property. An Eglin AFB utilities easement was obtained by OCWS for that
portion of the project using a description based off latitude & longitude calls. Since that time,
OCWS has the need for an additional 100' x 100' parcel along the same before mentioned route
for a sewer lift station. This lift station, called the "East County Repump Station" is needed in
order to divert East County flow (Bluewater Bay area) from the Niceville-Valparaiso Regional
Sewer Board WWTP to the Arbennie Pritchett WRF. Additionally, staff has also rewritten the
30'-wide easement for the pipe alignment using bearing and distances based off Florida State
Plain North. This easement amendment is conceptually depicted on the attached "East County
Master Sewer Plan" as Phase 2 (pipeline) and Phase 9 (lift station).
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends BCC approval for the Chairman to execute
Amendment #1of the Air Force’s “Grant of Easement” for the East County Sewer Conveyance
Improvements Project.
