DESIGN REPORT FOR RAW WATER TRANSMISSION MAIN BOOSTER PUMP STATION
PRESENTED BY CONSOER, TOWNSEND AND ASSOCIATES, INC. AND ALTERNATIVE
#2, THE PROPOSED 24" PARALLEL PIPELINE FROM POINT D TO POINT E -
ACCEPTED.
Mr. Fred Bloetchur, Assistant Utilities Administrator, Indicated
that at a previous Board meeting regarding consultant selection inter-
views, a request for Consoer, Townsend and Associates, Inc. to provide
the Board with a report on a design report discrepancy on County needs
was made. Mr. Fred Key of Consoer, Townsend and Associates, Inc.
(CTA) is prepared t() m~lk~- tht' rl~pnx't.
Mr. Key, presented the Board with the summary of the Engineering
report and stated thal Figure !represunts, the existing facilities in
the Golden Gate wellfield, which has sixteen existing wells and a
twenty-four inch pipeline from the wells to point D, and then turns
into a 30 ~nch ]~ne and gems to the existing water treatment facility.
Five alternatives for increasing the capacity ¢,f the wellfield to
an ultimate capacity o£ 24 MGD are available, Mr. Key stated. He
said Figure ~ shows an alternate in which ali existing facilities
are used and the booster pump station is at point D. The initial cost
of construction would be minimized with this plan, he continued,
however, it is not the most attractive.
pipe from point D to point E, with a pare/lei twenty-four inch pipeline
which reduce~ the~ h~d 1o~o~, Mr. K~¥ advI~(]. By addJr~g this sec-
t]on of pipeline, the pump station requirements are reduced from three
hupdred horsepower to two hundred horsepower pumps with a total
requirement of four pumps, he added.
Mr. Key then pointed out that Alternates No. 30 4, & 5 are similar
in design with different pipeline sizes. In each alternative the twenty-
four inch parallel pipeline has been maintained from point D to point E,
and th~ pipeline from point D to C has been adjusted to 20 Inch in
Alternate 3; 24 inch in Alternate 4; and 30 inch in Alternate 5.
Page 4
April 3, 1990
Summarizing the cost for construction with each alternative, Mr,
Key indicated that as the booster pump station horsepower decreases,
the cost decreases tn Alternatives 1 through 4, and in Alternative
5 there is no booster pump or pump station necessary because of the
size of the pipeline.
Mr. Key then explained the costs associated with the parallel and
additional pipeline requirement increases, noting that as the size of
the pipe increases so do the cost, with the exception of Alternate 1
which shows negative numbers because that pipeline ts included in the
proposed expansion project for the wellfteld.
In summarizing the energy costs of operation as shown on Table No.
2, Mr. Key continued, a factor that is considered is the evaluation
of the peak demand, which is three months of the year with a monthly
maintenance operation for the other nine months. The Present
Worth/Energy Cost analysis is shown for both twelve and twenty year
life-cycles at the bottom of Table 2, he noted.
Evaluating the alternatives, Mr. Key indicated that Alternative
2 ts the most cost effective, is the recommended Alternative, and
includes a pump station with four, two hundred horsepower variable
frequency control booster pumps, and the construction of a twenty-four
inch parallel pipeline from point D to point E in the wellfteld contract.
Commissioner Hasse requested additional details on Alternate 5,
and Mr. Keys indicated that the cost for the line from point D to
point C Is estimated at $2.2 million with no associated energy costs.
A cost which ts not reflected, Mr. Key noted, is the cost of land and
easements from private property owners for Alternative 5, luther
staring that there ts no room in the existing easement for another
thirty Inch pipe. He also indicated that in selecting Alternative 5,
the acquisition of easements and the magnitude of construction of tills
size pipeline would be excessive and the February, 1991, deadline
could not be met. He said because the line will only be tn use for
approximately three months out of the year, there would also be a
great deal of settlinG and which would create additional maintenance

problems,
Commissioner Saunders inquired what the needs will be over the
next twenty years and if the proposal will satisfy those needs.
Mr. Key responded, saying that the proposal would be sufficient at
the present rate of growth until the year 2011, and agreed with the
Commission that it is not cost effective to put a~ pipeline in the ground
that will not be needed for another twenty years.
Commissioner Saunders moved, seconded by Commissioner Shanahan
and carried 4/0, that the recommendation by staff of the selection of
Alternative 2 for the purposed twenty-four inch parallel pipeline from
point D to point E, and the associated pumping stations, be accepted.
Item #gE1
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN COLLIER COUNTY AND THE GOLDEN SATE FIRE AND RESCUE
DISTRICT FOR THE PURCHASE OF A FIRETRUCK AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A
GARAQE BAY - APPROVED
Mr. Leo Ochs, Jr., Administrative Services Administrator, stated
that the requested approval Js for the purchase of a fire pumper truck
and a garage bay addition to an existing fire station. He noted that
in 1983, the County and Avatar Properties made an agreement which pro-
vided for the dedication of property to the County to be used for
public facilities construction Jn Go]den Gate Estates.
The request from Fire Chief Hatcher to the Golden Gate Estates
Citizens Advisiory Committee Jn February of 1990, resulted in an
approval for the 50~ matching funds for the acqui,.~ltJon of a fire
pumper truck in an amount not to exceed $100,000, and approval of a
request for up to $20,000 for a fire station addition, Mr. Ochs told
the Commissioners.
The Real Property Management staff drafted the agreements which
detail the terms and conditions of the acquisitions, and they have been
approved by the Advisory Committee and the County Attorney's Offlce,
Mr. Ochs not,,.]. He cor]%Jnued, ~a¥1ng that staff recessed]ds the Board
approve these Agreements, authorize the Chairman to execute them and
authorize the necessary Budget Amendments.
Comm~ssioner Hesse asked if the funds are available in the GAC

Commissioner Hasse asked if anyone has inve~ttgated the possibi-
lity of the purchase of the big tank truck from the City of Naples,
and Chief Norm Hatcher, Chief of the Go]den Gat(~ Fire District, said
the approval has been given to acquire the tanker truck as a water
hauler.
Contsstoner Goodntght moved, seconded by Commissioner Saundero
and carried ¢/0, that the agreementa between Co]lter County and the
Golden Gate Fire and Rescue District for the purchase of a fire pumper
truck and the construction of a garage bay be approved.

SALES TAX REVENUE PROJECTION STUDY - ACCEPTED, A%_ ~RESKNTKD
Assistant County Manager McLemore advised the Board that on March
13, 1990, an agreement with Dr. David Williams to perform a study
relative to th~ r'evenu~ that would be generated by the proposed 1¢
Local Option Infrastructure Sales Tax was authorized.
Mr. McLemore said staff recommendations are based on historical
information of actual collections and those estimates range from
$900,000,000 to $! Billion. With the recent state wide decline in
sales tax beginning to show up on the County books, Mr. McLemore con-
tinned, Dr. Williams was asked to gather some information and recom-
mend some r~v,nue gu[dmlin,s fop the sales tax.
Dr. David Williams, President of the Florida Economics Consulting
Group, Indicated he feels It Is appropriate for Collier County to be
Investigating a sa]es tax option and noted that he feels the County
ts doing the right thing by educating the citizens and establishing
The report, Dr. Wflltams indicated, addresses two Issues whtch
1. Projected revenue collections.
2. The percen~aU,? of non-permanent County residents.
Indicating that his report ts based on a regression model study
for the County, uslnU Collier County and State population totals and
personal income totals, Dr. Wtl]iams said that the State has gone
through some major downward revisions due to actual total sa]es tax
collected.
The economy is, Dr. Williams noted, slower but non-recessive, and
sa]es tax collectIon 1~ v~ry ~,~nsltJv~ It) i. ll~ bUslileSs cycle, 7'lie tax
gPowth rate ts not as high as had been proJect~d, ranging in the 10~
area, and not the projected 15% range. He added that the proposed
servtce tax has made data projections unre]Jab]e.
Dr. Williams, Jn projecting revenue on a purely econGf~lc baais as
opposed to a 13.6% growth rate, said the figures of e~timated sales
Page 8
April 3, 1990
tax revenue over the next ten years should range between $352 and $420
million dollars. He further indicated that these two estimates are a
"comfort" range of projected highs and lows. The range probably will
fall between $3?5 and $400 million, he added.
Calculating the percentage of sales tax to be paid by non-
permanent residents in the CounTy, including both out-of-state and
out-of-county tourists and business commuters, and based on the
available existing studies, the projected per captta tax dollar is
78~ higher in Collier County than the Florida average, Dr. Williams
said. Using these adjustments, the final proJectJon for both in and
out-of-state tourists is 26.3~, he continued. Considering there are
more people coming from Lee County into Collfer County to work than
vice versa, this figure can again be adjusted by 1.5~, Dr. Williams
added, and the final figure of non-permanent resident revenue is 28 -
30~.
Commissioner Shanahan asked Dr. Williams if the figures are
$375-400 million and Dr. Williams responded affirmatively. Dr.
Wtlllams caut]oned the Commissioners that this tax revenue is Just an
estimate.
Commissioner Shanahan noted that the previousJy projected collec-
tions are about $100 million over the numbers presented this date.
Commissioner Hasse asked about the difference in the figures, and Dr.
Wlllfams Indicated that the difference Is due to the slowtng of the
growth rates and not a slowing fn the economy. Collier County, he
commented, will not and cannot sustain /ts present growth rate, and
when the influx, slows the tax revenues will drop.
Commissioner Sounders indicated he would like to have a copy of
the report sent to the School Board and t(~ the City of Naples, so that
they can adjust their figures, and requested that Mr. McLemore be pre-
pared to present projects that reflect the revem,gs as forecasted by
Dr. Williams for the April 10, 1990, Board of County Commissioners
meeting.
Mr. George Keller stated that he feels the report, as presented by
Page 9
April 3, 1990
Dr. Williams, was excellent, however, he is in disagreement w/th the
non-resident tax percentage. He stated that even though there may be
more people coming to Collier County to work than going to Lee County,
these people and the majority of the out-of-state tourists and busi-
ness people do not buy big ticket items in Collier County and that
their contribution is not 28-30~.
Mr. Keller also indicated that Dr. Williams has reinforced pre-
v~ous statements Mr. KeJler has made regarding the inability of anyone
to predict the economy or the growth rates and warned that the dif-
ference in projections and receipts could vary as much as 20%.
Coateetoner Saundere moved, seconded by Co~-ie~loner Ooodntght

5TH A~D 6TH FLOOR SHELLS OF THE COURTHOUSE FOR THE CLERK OF COURTS AND
COURT RELATED OFFICES TO BE COMPLETED; AND A PORTION OF THE SHERIFF'S
OFFICE TO BE ROUSED IN BUILDING "A" WITR MINIMAL RENOVATION WORK FOR A
TOTAL ESTIMATED COST OF $3,720,000.00; AND STAFF TO USE COUNTY'S LINE
OF CREDIT TO START PROJECT - APPROVED
Mr. Thomas Conrecode, Director of the Office of Capital Projects
Management, requested the Board consider the disposition of Building
"A". The staff has developed a new program to better meet the needs
of the Judiciary, the Clerk of the Courts, and the Sheriff, Mr.
Conrecode stated.
Under the new recommendation, Mr. Conrecode continued, the Clerk
of the Court would be placed on the Sixth floor and court related
offices on the Fifth floor. This would allow the Sheriff to occupy
the first two floors of Building "A" after a small amount of re-
novation work, he advised. The staff would be relocated from current
lease space to this area, he added.
The plan, as presented this date, addresses the space needs in a
practical way and would necessitate using the Line of Credit as a
means of beginning the process immediately, Mr. Conrecode concluded.
Commissioner Saunders indicated he feels the i'~n is fine, and
asked if the Jury Room for the coul'ts would be on the upper floor~ and
the Fines/Collections would be on the First floor. Mr. Conrecode con-
firmed this, and also said that some minor renovation wot~ld need to be
done in order to accommodate the Sheriff in Building "A" ~,t a cost of
$275,000.
He also said that the cost est/mate for the rennovation was done
by the Sheriff's Department and the contractors.
Commissioner Hasse noted that the total savings would be $120,000
over the current cost of leased space.
The $~.§ million, which ts a previous funding as shown on the
Executive Report, and is part of the currently executed contract with
Kraft Construct/on Company.
Mr. Dorrill interjected that Kraft's contract currently calls for
them to renovate Building "A", and there will be a Change Order nego-
°OOc8o ;87
Page
April 3, 1990
ttated with Kraft to eliminate the renovation ~d supplant it w/th
the f/n/shed construction project. Mr. Dorrill noted that with the
exception of the Fourth floor, the new Courthouse will be full, and
that the Fourth floor is reserved for the court related additions to
the building. He also indicated that this would open two floors in
Building "F", and will make them available for administrative expan-
sion when they are needed.
Mr. Dorrill indicated there will be no need for trailers on the
County Government Campus and current rentals for the Sheriff.s
Department, the Veteran's Administration office, the Public Service
Administration, and possibly the EMS facility will no longer be
necessary.
Co~misstoner Shanahan moved, seconded by Commteeloner Goodntght
mhd carried 4/0, that the completion of the Fifth and Sixth f~oors for
use b~ the Clerk of Courts and related offices and the rennovation of
Building "A" for use by the Sheriff,s Department, be approved.
County Manager Dorrtl] indicated that housing the Sheriff in
Building "A" should not be considered a permanent move, because the
condition of But]dtn~ "A" is marginal.
Mr. Dorrill told the Board that underneath the building that
currently houses the Sheriff is a foundatio,~ and paling system which
is designed to hold an expansion to a total of five floo~.s i'or the/r
additional needs and he indicated the final p/an is to have a Law
Enforcement Facility, a Judicial Facility, and an Adm].ntstratlvo
Facility in three multi-story buildings on one campus. He further
indicated that current and expanded parking and elevator needs have
been explored and are contained in the Executive Summary.

STAFF TO PREPARE THE NECESSARy DOCUMENTS RELATIVE TO THE BOARD'S
SU____C~ESSION TO PELICAN BAYIMPROV~_~_~NT DISTRICT
Mr. Dorrill indicated that the directive from the Board has been
completed, a meeting with Wilson, Miller, Barton, ~oll& Peek, Inc.
has been held and the engineering report has been prepared with speci-
Page 12
April 3, 1990
fic recommendations.
Mr. Mike Arnold, Utilities Administrator, ]ndAcated that both he
and Mr. Tom Taylor of Hole, Montes and Associates, Inc. have tried
diligently to resolve the Pelican Bay questions regarding the
County's ability to serve the area.
He said the capital costs have been resolved and there is an agreement
on those, however, the engineering firms are not in agreement
regarding the narrative.
Mr. Arnold indicated that the financial analysis relating to
existing debt, the future debt to be incurred by either Pelican Bay
Improvement District or the County, and its translation to the rates
for Pelican Bay under each proposal has not been agreed to and he
understands that several members of the Pelican Bay staff want to be
intimately involved in the process concurrently with the County.
In discussinG the fire consolidation, it Is unlikely that the
fare districts, fire chiefs and the County are going to come to any
kind of agreement on the cost of consolidation, Mr. Arnold noted.
Mr. Taylor, outlining the alternative analysis reports, clarified
some of the minor Issues. Mr. Taylor said the issue began in August
of 1989, when the Pelican Bay Improvement Dtstri~% feasibility study
was completed by Hole, Montes and Associates, Inc. In that study, he
continued, there was a report indicating that the County could provide
utility services to Pelican Bay for a $8.5 million bond issue versus a
$14 million bond issue by Pelican Bay. At the 9amc time, Mr. Taylor
explained, the Pelican Bay Improvement Dlstrict and t't's engineers,
Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll and Peek, Inc., were in the process of
updating the Pelican Bay Improvement DistrAct Master Plan. During the
process, he noted, the two firms were not pel~mitted to discuss the
project with each other which resulted An a diff~rence of opinion
about whether the County or Pelican Bay could provide the services
mo~e efficiently and with Greater coot effectiveness.
After a Board discussion, Mr. Taylor related, the two firms were
authorized to Join forces and analyze, again, the various alternatives
Page 13
April 3, 1990
in providing these services to Pelican Bay in an attempt to reach a
consensus on the improvements and the associat~d costs. He continued,
saying the approach to the project is to identify early in the
meetings what the objectives are and to proceed through those Jointly.
The first objective, Mr. Taylor noted, is to identify the service
needs of Pelican Bay; the second is to identify the system improve-
ments and needed construction t/ming; and the third is the cost of the
improvements.
Mr. Taylor referred the Commission to the costs as reflected in
the report and noted that both firms agree that these costs are the
best available as of February l, 19go.
Identifying two distinctive sets of coats, Mr. Taylor indicated
the first set is the direct cost of the improvements in a plan for
immediate construction. The second set of numbers, he continued,
identifies the additional future costs that can be attributed to
indirectly servicing Pelican Bay by allocating portions of future
County facilities and system components. Adding that some of the com-
ponents are in the County Master Plan and scheduled for construction
at various times, Mr. Taylor said the significance of the two separate
sets of figures is the ~mpact of financing the l~ovements and
determining the theoretical costs of the components that would be used
by either Pelican Bay or by customers of the County.
Table 1 identifies three alternatives, Mr. Taylor aa2d, the first
of which is the Pelican Bay Improvement Distrtet continuing on its
course, providing the expansion of facilities as needed to serve
Pelican Bay through build-out. The second alternative, he continued,
is an option for the County to have th~ existing one million gallon
day by the North County Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility. The
final alternative provides the option for the County to phase out the
existing one million gallon per day facility and provide all of the
service at the North County Regional W~'atewater Treatment F&ci]ity, he
said. Mr. Taylor continued, saying that an attempt was made to iden-
°ooclOo9o
Page 14
Apr]/ 3, 1990
tify all the components, including contingencies, engineering costs
associated with the construction, and capital ~mprovements. The total
alternative cost, based on the Immediate improvements, la $8,340,000
for the Pelican Bay Improvement District Alternative 1; $4,195,000
for Alternative 2, with a possible additional expenditure of $623,000
for upsizlng of pipelines and effluent lines; and Alternative 3 would
provide for the County to immediately proceed with the phasing out of
the Pelican Bay Facility and provide service at the North County
Regional Treatment Plant, which would be $4.6 million, he concluded.
Along with the proposed future improvements, Mr. Taylor continued,
Would be a requirement to provide ultimate service to Pelican Bay.
Outlining the costs, he indicated that staff feels there will be
both connection fees and system development fees, and since those
improvements are a/ready tn the counties Capital Improvements Plan,
they will be constructed regard/ess of the service to Pelican Bay.
Hole, Montes, and Associates has agreed, on behalf of the County, to
provide a cost for a share of the facilities as attributable to
Pelican Bay, even though the facilities would be constructed
he noted.
Additional future improvements are approximately 84,287,000
including engineering and contingencies, for Pelican Bay, and
$6,404,000 for the County including engineering and con~]n~en.~es Mr
Taylor said. ' ·
Mr. Taylor pointed out another item which is an exK,enditure of
$9.2 million with the optional ups/zing including immed~ate and
future costs versus $11 million for the County as immediate and future
costs in Alternative 3.
Mr. Taylor Indicated that both farms agree that the cost for
financing Including the Interest cou3d be a bond Issue, and that this
would directly Impact the customers. He also said both firms recom-
mend to Pelican Bay Improvement District and the County that the
financing be tncorpurated into the final analysis.
A supplemental report has been P~'epared and submitted which lden-
Page
April 3, 1990
rifles the financing costs, the total dollar outlay over a Period of
time and an attempt to identify a pro3ected budget for 1990-91, Mr.
Taylor added.
An immediate expenditure for Pelican Bay will amount to $8.4
million while the county will be able to phase the construct/on and
the expenditure, Mr. Taylor explained. And, he noted, the discussion
of the financing plans between Pelican Bay Improvement D~strlct and
Collier County resulted in Pelican Bay Improvement District stating
that they propose to finance the improvements with a one-third'cash
reserve and two-thirds bank financinG, which would amount to $2.7
million with additional bank financing of' about $5.3 million, and a
five year pay back per/od.
Mr. Taylor noted that this kind of financing will have a minimal
up front expense, however, there will be a substantial amount of
interest paid.
Indicating that Collier County has expressed concern regarding
Pelican Bay's ability to finance the lmprovementc. Mr. Taylor indi-
cated he has asked for some back up information, w2',]ch has not been
received this date.
Collier County will realize a $4.2 million expenditure to service
Pelican Bay, Mr. Taylor stated, and if Pelican Bay Impr'ov~ment
District has $2.7 million available, the County ~ould require a $1.5
million cash reserve to handle their portion of the Imm~diate improve-
ments.
Commissioner Hasse indicated he feels it would be more appropriate
if the County would construct the facilities because it would ultima-
tely result in a substantial savings to the County, result in a posi-
tive cash flow, and enhance Pelican ~Bal,'s future ability to finance.
Indicating the County could produce bulk water for $.70 per 1,O00
gallons to Pelican Bay, Mr. Taylor stated that the County has prepared
an estimated budget to provide service this fiscal year for Pelican
Bay which when thoroughly scrutinized has some line item revisions.

In discussing the projected FY 90-91 Budget Comparison for Pelican
Bay Improvement District and Collier County, he said the first columns
of the table show a $1,347,000 operating expense for Pelican Bay,
while the County could operate it ct $1,213,000.
Mr. Taylor commented that the financing could be done by the
County for a smaller bond issue than what Pelican Bay could do it for,
however, at this time the County can fund the proposed improvements
with cash reserves. He noted Pelican Bay has also changed their
financing to one-th/rd cash with the balance through a bank note.
Mr. Taylor indicated that two-thirds bank financing over a five
year per/od at 7% would result in $1.3 million in debt service over
the next § years, however, if the County were to use the cash without
the optional Pipeline upsizing, it would only bs an additional
$300,000, and with the upsizing it would cost $428,000. The total
debt service expenditure comparisons are approximately $2,566,000 for
Pe~lcan Bay Improvement D~strict versus $1,564,000 or 81,688,000
depending on the optional upsizing for the County. The totals for FY
1990-91 for Pelican Bay Improvement District Would be $3.9 mill/on,
and for Collier County, $2.7 million, Mr. Taylor ,'-.~ncluded.
Commissioner Shanahan noted that the total budget in any situation
is $! million less.
Mr. Taylor said he feels the County can provide equal or better
service at less cost.
Mr. Taylor indicated that one of the line items that will be
significantly different is the payroll. He continued, saying that
the County indicated that the treatment facility will be staffed
twenty-four hours per day, but Wilson, Miller, Barton, Sol/ and Peek,
Inc. did not make that recommendation to Pelican Bay Improvement
District. They have, he noted, recommended automatic monitoring
systems which should be uti//zed during off hours and there would be
no twenty-four hour staffing.
Clarifying the $.70 per 1,000 gallons water cost for Commissioner
Shanahan, Mr. Taylor indicated that the County sells water on a retail
Page
April 3, 1990
baals for $1.50 per 1,000 gallons, and Collier Cottnty has an agreement
to provide that service when able which should be by the end of 1990.
Pelican Bay Improvement District estimated their cost at- $1.0! per
1,000 gallon~ which is considerably more, Mr. Taylor commented.
Commissioner Saunders, indicating that Mr. Taylor was familiar
with the County Master Plan, asked why, if the County can provide
better quality and efficiency at the same or a greater cost savings,
this issue is being considered.
Responding, Mr. Taylor said, it was his understanding that the
County wants to adopt a program of regton~llzatlon. Mr. Taylor said
his opinion ts the Pelican Bay Improvement District service Is not
needed and water could be provided on a more regional basis at the
North Regional Facility.
Mr. Taylor, responding to Commissioner Saunders question regarding
problems with odor and effluent spillage, said Pelican Bay Improvement
District has experienced ef£1uent spillage and citations have been
issued by the Department of Environmental Regular!one. When a system
is operated on timers, he continued, and someone £c£~ets to turn off
the timers, there can be a malfunction.
Commissioner Saunders asked what kind of record Collier County has
with regard to odors and effluent spillage and whether or not they
have been cited. Mr. Taylor indicated the Count-3 was ci<ed for a
pond/berm breakthrough several years ago, but the reuse program now
utilizes the ponds for rainy day storage and back up disposal.
Mr. Taylor told Commissioner &aunders that this facility will not
be described as a package plant facility.
as, Deputy Clerk Hoffman rep/aced Deputy Clark McOlenathsn
County Manager Dorrill stated that this issue has been debated
through the newspapers and media. He remarked that someone may stand
before the Commission this morning, and relate that they feel that
this ts a hostile takeover. He noted that aft,r a 15 y~ar agreement,
master plans, and construction schedules, this is not the case. He
Page iS
April 3, 1990
indicated that he believes that there has been more than sufficient
analysis in this regard, and hopes that the findings of the two con-
sulting engineers will be accepted by the Commission as having met the
requirements for a finding that is a sufficient analysis. He informed
that Staff made its initial recommendations to the Board 9 months ago,
and completed a separate report 6 months ago. Ne noted that a compro-
mise offer was submitted to PBID, but it has been ignored, and Staff
is recommending that the Commission protect its rights and interests in
this system.
Mr. Jim Ward, Assistant Manager, Pelican Bay Improvement District,
advised that in November, 198g, Col//er County and PBID went before
the Legislative Delegation to request amendments to the Enabling Act
which brought the District into compliance with some of the new
Legislation that exists within the State today. He indicated that one
of the provisions in that Act relates to the merger and dissolution
procedures dealing with Districts in the State. He stated that the
Act provided certain mechanisms for Collier County to dissolve the
interests of the PBID into'a County-w/de system. Fe noted that those
provisions in 1974 dealt with the facts at hand, an~ that was that
Pelican Bay was a community that did not exist, and Westinghouse was
an unknown developer in Naples. He affirmed that the PBID has the
rights, duties and obligations as the Board of County Commlssloners to
provide services to the community that they reprc=~nt.
Mr. Ward stated that it has been 1§ years since the Act was
adopted and it has been clearly shown that the PBID has been a
viable, responsible, governmental mguncy tn the State, and it has not
abused the authorities and powers thai t't has been granted by the
State. He indicated that the deal in 1974 was not to do away with the
PBID, but to provide the services to Pelican Bay that were authorized
to tkat community. He noted that this has been reaffirmed by the
Legislature in 1980, 1988, and in 1989, with a Special District
Accountability Act.
Mr. Ward indicated that the bottom line ts what will it cost the
°o ¢w0o95
Page 19
April 3, 1990
residents of Pelican Bay to provide the service that the Board of
County Commissioners is proposing through its utility rates? He noted
that the County's existing rates ar~ higher than PBID's ex/sting
rates. He explained that if the County is trying to succeed to the
powers of the Pelican Bay Improvement District, and is going to merge
that District into the County-wide Water/Sewer District, the residents
will pay the rates in effect by the County's District. He reported
that if the numbers are changed to reflect that, the operation and
maintenance costs are above what it will cost the PBID to provide
those services.
Mr. Ward stated that in terms of the capital costs, Hole, Montes
and Associates, Inc. reported that it will cost PBID $8 million to
provide the service to the Pelican Bay community, and noted that he
does not disagree with that number. He explained that Alternative Two
indicates that Collier County will keep in place the existing PBID
plant and treat the balance of the sewage required for the future
development of Pelican Bay at the North Regional Plant, and that
cost Is $9.2 million. He called attention to Alt~.'nat, Three, which
states if the County desires to tear down the facilities in the PBID
site, the cost will be $1! million. Ne noted that these facilities
are fairly new and they are state-of-the-art facilities add should not
be torn down for the next 30-40 years. He suggested ths~ th~ cost
that should be looked at are either. $8 million to p~ov~de che facili-
ties on behalf of the PBID, or $11 for Collle~ County to do lt.
With regard to operating and maintenance costs, Mr. Ward noted
that Mr. Taylor expressed that the District did not provide certain
information to the County with respect to fin~ncin~. He Indicated
that this is quite the contrary, and affirl~ed that the County has a
copy of the District's Enabling Legislation and a copy of the
District's bond issue resolution, and are aware that the District has
the ability to pledge ad valorem taxes as part of the revenue bond.
He noted that the referendum issue was addressed tn 1979 in the
District, and there is no need for any additional referendums relative
Page 20
April 3, 1990
to long term debt. He affirmed that PBID has th. ability to handle
its financing.
Mr. Ward stated that the difference in the rates of ?0¢ per 1,000
gallons versus $1.50/per 1,000 gallons Is an important issue to be
looked at. He called attention to the issue of whether or not there
will be full time plant operators on staff, 24 hours per day, 7 days
per week, he Indicated that he believes that the only reason this
being recommended is that the certtftcatt.~n for the County's plant is
different than PBID's, and the County would be required to staff the
plant in that way. He noted that PBID staffs its facility ? days per
week, 10 hours per day which Is above the current regulations, to pro-
vide the best possible service to the community of Pelican Bay. He
stated that he believes that the manner and the method that the fac/-
llty has been staffed serves the Interests of the residents of Pelican
Bay better than the proposed County options.
Mr. Ward remarked that he has not seen any information which indi-
cates that the County's rates will be lowered in the future, and noted
that they wlll probably be raised especially with ~he concept of
reglonalization, and he does not believe that the District's rates
will increase anymore than the mate of inflation in the long term.
Mr. Ward explained that he believes that one of the a!te~'natives
that could be looked at would be a financing pr~uosal fr'om Collier
County to provide bulk service, treated service to th~ Pelican Bay com-
munity, but he has been advised that the County is not desirous to
provide any type of a bulk service agreement. He indicated that
does not appear at this time that it would be a viable financing
option for PBID to become a part of the County,s Water/Sewer District.
He informed that he believes that the PBID Board of Supervisors, as an
elected board, has the right, duty, obligation and the responsibility
to provide the best possible service to the PBID and to the community
of Pelican Bay, and he hopes that the Commission will allow the Board
of Supervisors to make the decision relative to the provision for ser-
vice.

Mr. George Keller, President, Collier County Civic Federation,
questioned what the benefits will be to the rest of the people in
Collier County if this system ts taken over?
County Manager Dorrlll related that the County Utility System has
been built through a combination of acquisitions and growth within the
system, but primarily through acquiring other utility systems: Lely,
Glades, Kings Lake and Foxfire Systems. He Informed that the Glades
System was the largest acquisition and the County paid a combination
of'cash and Impact fee credits In the amount of $11.2 million, and in
return, received 970 customers. He noted that the County paid
approximately $11,5OO per customer for sewer only and the acqulsi%ton
costs for water, sewer, and drainage ars approximately $12 million
which is the amount to acquire that outstanding debt to the system
that includes about 4,000 customers. He advised that this la & busi-
ness decision where assets are being acquired for the County
Water/Sewer District to be a part of the Regional District or operate
as an asset tn the Sub-District. He stated that this ts an extremely
good acquisition for customers of the County Water/Sewer District.
Mr. Tom Peek of Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll a Peek, Inc., stated
that hie firm is the district engtnuer for the PBID and noted that
meetings were held with Hole, Montes & Associates on numerous occa-
sions to develop what ts being presented as the al~ernattv? ~nalysis
report. He informed that he has thr~e particular conc~rms. He noted
that he considered the report as a d~afl: report~ and did not realize
that it would be incorporated Into a more formalized report. He
explained that with regard to the portion of the report dealing with
the cost analysis, i'~ is his position that there should have been a
clear summary of the total costs of each of the alternatives presented
tn the body of the report.
Mr. Peek advised that Alternative #1 costs for PBID to expand on
its own site and provide its own service is $8,034,000; costs of
Alternative #2 which keeps Pelican Bay's ! MGD plant operational to
transport the additional 1.64 MG raw sewage to the North Collier
°°OC ooos
Page 22
April 3, 1990
County Treatment Plant is $9,105,000; costs of Alternative #3 which
provides for the total elimination of the Sewage Treatment Plant at
Pelican Bay and transfers all of the raw sewage for treatment at the
North Collier Plant ts $11,004,000. He Informed that he agrees with
these costs, with the exception of Alternative #2 which Identifies
$623,000 for optional Pipeline upstzing, and noted that he believes
that this is a required number to make Alternative #2 operational.
Mr. Peek explained that his firm's Intent with Hole, Montes &
Associates was to Identify the capital costs that were necessary tn
order to provide for the treatment of the total sewage flow at the
buildout of the Pelican Bay subdivision: 2.64 MGD. He advised that
he believes that the numbers and the timing that ts identified In the
report is appropriate, after sufficient debate, other than the excep-
tion as stated.
Attorney Jospeh McMacktn, representing Pelican Bay Improvement
District, requested that the Commission think twice before approving
the recommendation of Staff. He related that there Is a recent
contract between the Board of County Commissioners and the PBID. He
recalled that on November 7, 1989, PBID agreed to w!thdraw their
request for Special Legislation by writing a letter to Representative
Hawkins and Senator Dudely; PBID agreed not to issue bonds or under-
take financing prior to March I, 1990; and PBID agreed to cooperate
and have its engineers discuss the technical issu~-~3 with the County,s
engineers. He informed that PBID Pe~fommed al/ of tho~;~ requests, and
believed in exchange, that there was an ~greement that the County
Commission would not take over the District.
Attorney McMacktn explained that the Enabllng Act contains
language from ~974 which may, at some time in the future, give the
Commission the right to seat Itself as the Board of Supervisors of the
PBID, however, that language is not unlimited. He referred to past
remarks that were made by Messrs. Taylor, Arnold and Peek, and noted
that ~hey clearly Indicate that the installation of the improvements
in the Pelican Bay subdivision have not been completed. He informed
Page 23
April 3, lg90
that the 1974 Act has been changed, and believes that the attempt of
the County Commission to unseat the Supervisors is a violative of the
Florida Constitution, Article 8, Section 4 and Chapter 189 which is a
general law dealing with special districts. He further noted that he
believes that this intent breaches an agreement that the Commission
made with the Board of Supervisors on November 7, 1989. He stated
that the discarding of duly elected officials is not a step which
should be lightly taken, since these peopJ, e have given their time for
community service, and they are elected for a 4 year period.
Mr. McMackin affirmed that if the Boamd of County Commissioners
succeeds the Board of Supervisors, it will have to assume all of their
offices, not Just sewer and water. He indicated that the PBID is an
independent body and has nothing to do with the property owners'
efforts either in favor of or against annexation to the City. He
suggested that the Commission not force regtonalizatton prematurely
with Pelican Bay.
County Attorney Cuyler advised that he has re~'iewed Chapter 189,
and has found nothing in that Legislation that wet, id d~lete or
lessen the powers of the Board under the Special Legislation. With
regard to the utility improvements and facilities having been
constructed and established and being functional and prod',~ctIve, he
informed that this is a factual matter that the Commission will need
to make a finding on. He indicated that he sees nothing ~:~ the
Florida Constitution which prohibits the Board's abil:kty to succeed.
In answer to Commissioner Shanahan, County Attorney Cuyler stated
that he has always stood ready to look at any of the legal arguments
that either Mr. McMackin, Mr. Ward, or the PBID members desired to
submit. He indicated that if they would like to present their legal
authority in some written form, he will be more than happy to review
same.
Attorney David Brunner indicated that he was the County Attorney
In 1973 when the PBID issue first came up, and it was never intended
by the Board of County Commissioners for Pelican Bay to be a separate
Page 24
April 3~ 1990
City or government, but only long enough to get that development off
the ground. He stated that at that time, Collier County was not
sophisticated in the water/sewer business, however, today, all studies
show that there is an economy of scale tn the utility business and
Pelican Bay is dependent upon the County for its water supply, etc.
He noted that it is impractical to parallel utility lines or plants of
systems. He suggested that the Commission considur Staff's report
very seriously.
Mr. Taylor advised that the retail rate of $1.50 per 1,000 gallons
incorporates the operation and maintenance costs of the distribution
system, operation and maintenance costs associated with pumping the
raw water to the treatment plant, the costs of treatment of zhat
water, and also includes the debt service assocla?,d with the
outstanding debt. He explained that when there is a cost for the
maintenance of pipelines, pump stations, pumping facil~ties, etc.,
that ts not included in the additional cost for water production since
that would be double accounting.
Mr. Ward reiterated that if PBID is to be merged into the County-
wide Water/Sewer District, the rates that are charged to the Pelican
Bay residents have to be the same as the rates that are charged to the
County-w/de water/sewer customers.
County Manager Dorrill informed that the proposal is to operate
this system as a sub-d/strict until ~uch time that the rates are com-
parable, and Staff's recommendation is lhat there will be no increased
costs to the customers in Pelican Bay, and there will be no effect on
the current ratepayers of the County Water/Sewer District.
County Manager Dorri]l reported that the inftia] proposal was
responding to complaints from residents who did not want th. s.wag.
treatment plant in the middle of the Pelican Bay Community. He stated
that he is recommending that the Commission direct the County Attorney
and himself to prepare the necessary documents relating to the Board's
succession of PBID. He indicated that the spirit of a compromise
solution can be kept on the table, but he believes that it is time to
00 ¢10101
Page 25
April 3, 1990
see where Pelican Bay's Intentions are.
Oo~iemioner Shanmhan moved, seconded b~ Co.missioner aoodnight,
to direr Staff to prepare the nec~ssa~ do~en~ relative to the
~ard's ~ccesston to PBID, ~d re~eat tn~t from PBID relative to
aw.
Commissioner Saunders noted that within the next several, weeks it
will be determined am to whether or not the City Council will ])lace
the issue of annexation on the ballot, and whether this area will
become a part of the new City of Naples. He indicated that if this
does happen, he believes that it is appropriate for the City to pro-
vide service within its new boundary. He suggested that the
Commission not take any action until the results of the annexation ts
known.
Upon call for the question, the motion carried S/1 (Commissioner
Saundera opposed, and Commissioner Volpe was absent).
STAFF TO PREPARE A STUDY FOR THE PURPOSE OF PURCHASINO MARCO ISLAND
BEAC~ ACCESS NO.'S 2 OR 3 AND 4, 5, AND ?~
Technical Services Supervisor Huber explained that the objective
of this item is to obtain direction as to further action to be taken
relative to the acquisition of easements to provide additional beach
access on Marco Island. He informed that the motion at the December
5, 1989, meeting was that "The Board of County Commissioners is
interested in pursuing discussions concerning pedestrian access, and
staff should examine all four parcels for the purpose of providing
some pedestrian access, apprise the Board of the cost, and the Board
can select one or two for appraisal."
Mr. Huber stated that Staff has investigated all possible loca-
tions of beachfront property along Seaulew Court and Collier
Boulevard, and as a result, eleven sites have been selected for con-
sideration, as depicted in his booklet "Proposed Easement Acquisitions
for Marco Island Beach Access".
Mr. Huber called attention to the listing of beach acquisitions
000C1'.3102
Page 2 6
April 3, 1990
and costs as indicated at the beginning of the booklet, and noted that
the amounts shown in the "Appraisals and Administrative Costs" column
assumes a smooth acquisition and does not include any estimate of
costs resulting from exercisinG the power of eminent domain and taking
the property to condemnation.
With regard to the manner in which the market value was deter-
mined, Mr. Huber stated that due to the fact that the proposed
acquisitions are easements and not fee simple takings, the current
owner would maintain a vested interest in the land underlyinG the
access easements. He indicated that assuminG the natume of the ease-
ment la very restrictive, the underl¥1n~ ~ee simple owner would not
enjoy full right of ownership to the affected lands, therefore, the
compensation to the fee simple o~er was calculated at 90~ of the
fair market value.
Mr. Huber referred to a displayed map, depicting the easements as
follows: the southern end of the i.~land reflects an existinG beach
access 20' wide; Access #? is directly across from Winterberry Drive,
and is a 10' wide proposed easement on the southern property line of
the Hilton Hotel; Access #6 is the northern property line of the unde-
veloped portion of the Surf Club, owned by Deltona; Access #5 is the
northern property line of the undeveloped portion of the ILS
Corporation, Club Regency, and is also a lO' wide easement; Access #4
is the northern property line of the Royal Se~afarer; Access #11 is the
southern property line of the Dutchess, and ~s a 5' wide easement;
Access #'s 2 and 3 are the property of the Resident's Beach, and they
are noted as 20' w~de easements, but could be reduced to 10' wide ease-
ment which would substantially reduce the acquisition costs; Access
#'s 9 and 10 should be considered as one easement, even though they
have separate property owners - #9 is along the northern property line
of the Crescent Beach Condominium and #10 is alonG the property line
of Southwind Condo; Access #1 is along the Tradewinds property line
and is a proposed ~0' wide easement, but could be reduced to 10' wide
to reduce the acquisition costs; Access #8 is along the sout~srn pro-
Page ~7
April 3, 1990
party line of South Seas West and contains a number of physical
conflicts that do not make this desirable; and the final access is
that of Tlgertall Beach which contains public access.
The following persons spoke tn opposition to the proposed beach
accesses:
Mr. Kenneth Hunt
Mr. Milton Leonard
MI'. ~rank Bl&ncherd
Mr. Charles Rue
Mr. Joseph Christy
Mr. George Keller
Mr. Monte Lazarus
Reasons oF opposition were cited as: a fair share study should be
completed; favor a walkover aspect with 5' widths rather than accesses
as proposed; there is a shortage of parking points, and a separate
MSTU should be created to purchase one of the 3 remaining parcels on
the beach for parking to accommodate the in/and residents of Marco;
the current three accesses are sufficient; the original money that was
collected should be used to renourish the beach; additional parking
problems will be created by additional accesses; overcrowding of the
beaches will result ~n another Ft. Lauderdale or Coney Island; there
will be an invasion of privacy to tho~e beachfront property owners;
not opposed to resident access, but opposed to public access; addi-
tional access is reasonable, but not properly planned; Bwales will be
overcrowded with illegal parked vehicles and the ma3orlt¥ of residents
on Marco that Participated in the poll do not favor additional beach
access.
The following persons spoke in favor of the proposed beach
&ccelses:
Mr. Smith Thompson
Mr. Emmett Bailey
Mr. Mike Shaughnessy
Mrs. Jane Hlttler
Mr. Fa]tx Btrnbaum
Those speakers in favor of the proposed beach accesses, ctted the
following: the accesses should be restored and preserved; the high
rises on the beach are Interrupting the accesses; there may be an
Page 28
April 3, 1990
uproar of opposition from the beach front condo owners, but the views
of the inland property owners should also be con~idered; the residents
of Marco should have every opportunity to get to the beach; four beach
accesses are sufficient and the width should be minimized to §'; addi-
tional accesses are imperative for the removal of persons needing
medical attention due to beach accidents or health related problems;
EMS personnel can only be effective after they are able to reach a
victim; everyone is entitled to use the beaches on Marco Island, and
therefore, adequate accesses should be p,.ovided.

Commissioner Shanahan asked MY. Huber if, when the island wide
MSTU was established, reference was made to beach access and when
the MSTU was revised downward, did the minutes reflect that the intent
is to be only for beach access?
Mr. Huber, tn response to the first portion of Commissioner
Shanahan's question, stated the title clearly includes public beach
access, renourishment, storm protection, and all things reasonably
necessary within the boundaries of the unit. Continuing, Mr. Huber
stated that when the .5 mill was reduced to .! in fiscal year 1988-89,
it was for the purpose of beach access acquisition, and nothing else.
Page 29
April 3, 1990
Mr. Huber indicated the approxtmcte total In the fund at the
current time is $511,000.
Commissioner Saunders stated he ts concerned about the Increased
noise and security problems with having a public access between con-
dominiums. He also indicated he is concerned about utilizing eminent
domain to acquire access.points, noting that the County has the legal
authority to acquire beach access but a policy issue needs to be
addressed.
Commissioner Shanahan fndtcated that be has no interest in
the County acquiring any property on the beach through eminent domain,
unless the owners of the property are willing to deed or negotiate a
sale at fair market value. He then recommended that the staff
research and analyze the possibility of utilizing either access No. 2
or 3 at the Residents beach, but not both; and also analyze No. 4, 5
and 7. Out of that group, he continued, and after considering any
reverter clauses Involved, he requested the staff be directed to bring
a report back to the Board for consideration.
Commissioner Hasse asked about the change In the 2,000 foot
requirement between accesses, and Mr. Huber indicated that when
Deltona exercised the provision tn the Ordinance which allowed a
waiver of the ordinance requirements, they provided an aggregate of
those access points and the supporting facilities tn one location.
Commissioner Hasse asked Mr. Huber where, outside the County
Park, there is public access on Marco Island?
Mr. Huber responded that any land seaward of the beach renourtsh-
ment and erosion control line is public property and the only two
access locations are the 20 foot access at Caxambas and Tlgertall
Beach.
Commissioner Shanahan indicated that the original access of every .
one-half mile was waived when Deltona deeded enough property for the
whole thing at the Residents Beach. The Commissioners concurred that
this is not adequate because the Residents Beach ts not a public
beach and the access to Tfgertatl is inadequate.

the County had a meeting which resulted in four items being agreed to
by the contractor:
1. The Contractor agreed to provide an updated and current cert-
Ificate of Insurance.
2. The Contractor agreed to conduct an inspection of the site
with the County's Solid Waste Department to verify that the
excavation site and the material to be screened and In,tailed
Is acceptable to the County with the visit to be completed
by December 15, 1989, and not to utilize the materials from
other sites without prior written approval of the Solid Waste
Department Supervisor, and providing the necessary laboratory
test information.
3. The Contractor agreed to provide to the Purchasing Director
evidence of written permission to excavate materials from
the owners of the site specified for use by the Contractor.
4. The Contractor agreed to furnish and Install all material,
tn compliance with the terms of the contract and within
prescribed schedule.
Mr. Carnell indicated that, at the time of the Executive Summary,
two of the four items had not been satisfied specifically the tonnage
requirement for March had not been met as it was 6,800 tons deficient,
and Sea Con had not provided documentation from the owner of the site
of origin of the materials that authority had been given to excavate
the material. He then noted that the tonnage requirement has been
complied with as of this date, however, the final requirement for site
utilization for excavation has not been received. Because of the out-
come of the December 12, 1989, meeting, Mr. Carnell added, it has been
agreed that this authorization ts necessary due to a conversation Mr.
Russell of the Solid Waste Department had with an on-site represen-
tative who indicated that Sea Con does not have authority to excavate.
Mr. Johnson Indicated he could produce written authority which
allowed him to excavate the site, Mr. Carnell said, however, as of
this date he has not produced such a letter. Referencing letters of
April 2, and April 3, Mr. Carnell tndtcatefl that the owner of the site,
who is Mr. Johnson's brother, has not acknowledged that Mr. Johnson is
authorized to excavate.
Responding to a question from Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Carnell
Indicated that there has been a previous contract for another portion
of landfill, and tn default, Mr. Johnson inadvertently received his
00 C10108
Page 32
April 3, 1990
bond of $31,000 back from the County. Mr. Johnson returned this $31,000
to the County in good faith, Mr. Carnell stated.
A letter marked "copy", received this date at approximately
12:30 P.M. from Bernard Johnson, Trustee for EOS Corporation, indi-
cates that Mr. Johnson does not have use of the site and they have
not agreed to the conditions of sale and removal of the material as
previously indicated.
Mr. Carnell provided further informatlgn which indicated that the
Lee County Sheriff's Department has been called in to evict Mr.
Johnson's crew from the site and shut the site down at the request of
the owner.
Mr. Ca,nell indicated that one option the Board has is to consider
the contractor in default, and another option is that Mr. Johnson
could be directed to utilize an alternative s~te which he has indi-
cated he could do. Should the Board dec~de to direct Mr. Johnson in the
second option, Mr. Carne]l said he would advise the Board to enforce
the requirements as previously imposed, which were:
1. Authority to use the site.
2. Lab tests.
3. An excavation permit.
Mr. Carnell suggested that if the Board were to consider this
option, he would suggest Mr. Johnson be given until Monday, April 9,
1990, to provide this information or be declared in default at the
next commission meeting.
Responding to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Carnell said his recom-
mendation is to give Mr. Johnson one week to provide the necessary
information.
Assistant County Attorney Weige] advised Commissioner Saunders
that if Mr. Johnson could not comply, the contract could terminate
automatically as of April 10, 1990.
Commissioner Saunders asked Mr. Johnson if he would have a problem
complying with staff's request, to which Mr. Johnson replied negatively.

Legal notice having been publishe~ in the Nap/es Daily News
February 21, 1~90, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, bids were received for Bid ~ ~0-~5~5 until March 16,
2:~0 p.m., for the construction of Water =nd Sewer Improvements at the
County Government Center.
Noting that these improvemen~s are required to be completed
to the occupancy of the Courthouse and the Health Building, Mr. Tom
Conrecode, Director of the Office of Capital Improvements,
that thio system ts mainly to provide enough water for fire service
for the facilities under construction.
The low bidder, Mr. Conrecode stated, was Rocket Industrles of Ft.
Myers, and stated that the total cost for the project ts $201,500,
which represents a $72,500 shortfall. Mr. Conrecode recommended that
the funds for the shortfall come from the 301Reaerves or from the
Line of Credit, adding that if the Line of Credit ts used the funds
can be absorbed into the budget in FY91.
Co~/ssfoner Hasse asked why there is such a tremendous short-
fall, and Mr. Conr~codo r~spond~d saying that the initial plan Is to
complete the sewer improvements next year but this improvement ts not
requlred for occupancy of the two bu]ld]ngs, but additional infor-
mation received from the City of Naples /ndtcatea that the impact fees
must be paid for water and sewer and this has resulted tn a cost overrun.

Commissioner Goodnight indicated that staff has previously made a
presentation on recreational open space to be used for child care.
She noted that, at that time, the Board decides it was not tn favor of
the idea, however, the item in question is the Immokalee Child Care
Center. Commissioner GoodniGht added that the YMCA has recreational
open space zoning and there ts a child care center located at that
facility. Should the YMCA wish to expand this child care center, they
would be under the ,ams ~u]~nQ, she explained, stating that she would
like to ask the Board if they would d~rect staff to bring this matter
back for discussion.

Commissioner Goodnight Indicated that the Immokalee Chamber of
Commerce has set April ?, 1990, as the Harvest Festival date, and they
are requesting permission for the festival to take place and with the
new rules in effect with FDOT, she continued, a resolution must be
enacted to close a State Road, which will be necessary for this event.
Commissioner Goodnlght noted that the County Attorney's office has
drawn up the Resolutions at her request and she is asking the Board to

Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
December 17, 1989, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, bids were received until 2:00 P.M., on January 12, 1990, to
consider RFP #89-1504, Water Main Design.
Assistant Utilities Administrator Bloetscher stated that this item
relates to CIE Project Nos. 826 and 827 that are the set of lines tn
the Naples Park area which run up Vanderbtlt Beach Drive to Gulf Shore
Drive, and then through the Naples Park subdivision. He noted that
Staff solicited proposals in September, 1989, and the following pre-
sentations will be made by the three short listed firms.
~li, ~4~a'ber and Brundag~, Inc.
Mr. Dan Brundage of Agnolt, Barber and Brundage, Inc., Introduced
Ms. Loft Swanson and Domtntck D'Amtco. He noted that his firm is tn
the process of doing permitting and design for the Naples Park
Drainage Study, and he believes that a host of materials have been
gathered for that project which will be of help to design the subject
project.
Ms. Loft Swanson Indicated that normally the first step in a pro-
Ject such as this would be the collection of data but because of the work
that her firm has done in this area, the amount of information that is
required has been reduced, l.e. plats for the Naples Park area are
already tn house and drawings of the various utilities In the area
have also been accomplished. She advised that vertical and horizontal
survey controls have already been established in this area because of
00 C10122

AprJ, 1 3, 3990
Commissioner Shanahan questioned the amount ,Df savings that the
County will realize from the reduced amount of time that would nor-
mally be required ~or the collection of data? Mr. Brundage replied
that approximately 1 month of time will be reduced from the schedule
which would translate to a reduction in fees.
Ms. Swanson explained that aerial mapping will be used to develop
a plan of profile sheets, and noted that this information will be ana-
lyzed to carefully choose the location of the main to avoid as many
conflicts as possible. She informed that CAD facilities which are
state-of-the-art drafting techniques will be utilized, and once the
plans are complete, contract documents, technical spt~c]f]catlons, and
permit applications will be prepared.
Ms. Swanson stated that when the project reaches the construct]on
phase, Roger Sanders will oversee the project to ensure that the
County receives a quality constructed project.
Ms. Swanson related that Domlnlck D'Amico will perform a quality
control analysis to ensure that a cost effective design and construc-
tion of the project is obtained.
Mr. Brundage advised that his firm has an in-depth knowledge of
the area, a design team that is familiar with and has walked the site,
vertical and horizontal survey controls have been established for the
Nap]es Park area, and the proximity of the site to the location of his
office is also an advantage.
Gl'eel~F and Hansen, Inc.
Mr. Roger Howell of Greeley and Hansen, Inc., indicated that his
firm is comprised of consulting engineers who are involved strictly
w~th water and wastewater projects, have been ]n business over 75
years, employs 350 persons nationally with 14 employees in the Ft.
Myers office. He informed that all engineering decisions for thls
project will be made locally, and therefore, he believes that his firm
offers the responsiveness of a local firm plus the expertise of a
· national network.
00 fl9!23
Page 42
April 3, 1990
Mr. Howell advised that he has designed over 300 miles of pipe-
lines in Southwest Florida, with a total construction cost of $100
million+. He stated that Mr. Jim Allen will assist him on this pro-
Ject and will oversee construction.
Mr. Howell affirmed that there are s~.veral concerns relating to
this project: easements - which should begin immediately. He advised
that 15 existing service meters are buried underground and Staff has
indicated that they desire that those meters be put above ground so
that they may be read and maintained more easily. He noted that it is
also important to minimize disruption ]n order to maintain the traffic
along Gulfshore Drive, in addition to access in and out of the con-
dominiums and busines~es.
Mr. Howell informed that if the County deslres to have the water
main constructed, In place, and in service prtom to the high season
next year, the work can be split into two phases: the design for Gulf
shore Drive can be fast-tracked with the plans readily available by
July, and the contr~lctor can be on boaz'd by October 1st. He indicated
that construction could commence on November 1st, and the construction
time could be limited to 45 days; and then the rema~ning portion of
the work for Sixth Street could be put out in another contract. He
advised' that the other way this project could be handled, is to do all
the work as one contract: plans ready by the end of August, contrac-
tor on board by November, and construction could commence by mid
December or early 3anuary. He noted that under this later scenario,
constructlon w¢)u]d begln cJrl Sixth Stre,~t alld 1)~, completed about tile same
time the high season ends, and then the work on Gulfshore drive would
be started.
Mr. Howell stated that it fs important to encourage the contractor
to come up with ways to do his surface restoration as he goes along
with the pipe. He noted that one way to ensure this, is not to allow
payment for the ptpellne until the restoration is performed to the
satisfaction of the englneer and the County. lie Indicated that
another way to do this is to limit the amount of the trench width that
Page 43
Apri! 3, 1990
the contractor can cut with his pipeline by putting in a specific
quantity of surface restoration.
Mr. Jim Allen advised that the project consists of 8,000 feet of
16" water main in the North Gulfshore Drive right-of-way, 1,500 feet
of 16" water main tn the Vanderbtlt Beach Read r|ght-of-wa¥, and 1,500
feet of 12" water matnln VanderbIlt Drive and 91st Avenue rights-of-way, and
8,000 feet of 12" water main In the Sixth Street right-of-way. He reported th~
there is also three tnterconnections ]nvolued: North Gulfshore Drive
and Bluebtll Avenue, Vanderbilt Beach Road and Vanderbtlt Drive, and
the Sixth Street and lllth Avenue intersection. He noted that he
anticipates exposing those during design which allow particular infor-
mation to be obtained relative to the pipelines, and would limit the
service interruptions.
Mr. Allen informed that his firm will also prepare the specifica-
tions which would encourage competition between duct liner pipe and
PVC pipe prices which will result In lower costs to the County.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Allen reported that typi-
cally, the smaller diameter PVC piping is less expensive.
Mr. Allen related that he and Mr. Howell performed a preliminary
analysis for the locations of the proposed mains, and he believes that
the west side of right-of-way on Gulfshore Drive ts more advan-
tageous: there are existing water mains on the east side, and to pre-
vent any conflicts, and easier Installation on the west side will
result tn cost savings to the County; the existing services to the hi-
rise condominiums will allow an easier interconnection with their ser-
vices, and the specs will be prepared so that there will be minimum
disturbances to the landscaping.
With regard to Vanderbilt Beach Road, Mr. Allen advised that the
north side of the right-of-way has been chosen; there ~s an ex!sting
water main on the south side of the right-of-way; and the north side
will allow very easy installation, a minimal amount of restoration,
and & lesser expense to the County.
Calling att:entio~ to 01st Avenue, Mr. All,n indicated that the
Page 44
April 3, 1990
north side has been chosen; there is an existing water main on the
south side, and there appears to be some disturbance which has been
repaved and that indicates that there may be another utility in there.
Mr. Allen referred to the right-of-way on Sixth Street and noted
that this is the least difficult; very low traffic, and if necessary,
there will be no problem with detouring; the driveways are standard
concrete construction, as compared to designer driveways on North Gulf-
shore Drive.
Mr. Howell explained that he believes that his firm is the best
team for this project because of their local pipeline design
experience, an understanding of the County's concerns, and because
they want to keep the pro3ect moving work on the easements will be
done early, and disruption will be kept to a minimum.
Wil~, Miller, Barton, & Peek, Inc.
Mr. Tom Peek advised that the correct name of his firm is now
Wilson, Miller, Barton, & Peek, Inc., and noted that they have worked
for the County for a number of years on many utilities projects.
Mr. Peek introduced Mike Kennedy, Pro3ect Engineer and Manager of
the proposed project. He indicated that water lines will be extended
along Vanderbilt Beach Drive, Sixth Street and Gu]fshore Drive.
Mr. Peek stated that he will be the prlnc]pal in charge of the
project, Mr. Kennedy will serve as Project Engineer and Project
Manager, James Anderson will serve as Project Desi~ner, Mike Iamurri
will be the land surveyor, Tim Durham will head the permitting pro-
cess, and Jim Mcgee wi/] head the construct]on management area.
Mr. Peek informed that his firm completed the design of 11,O00
feet of water mains along Airport Road at 20~ below the estimate, and
noted that those lines wtl] be flushed next week and the pro3ect Is
ahead of schedule. He advised that his firm has also been involved
with the Goodlette Road Extension from Pine Ridge Road to the Carica
Road tank, the Seagate Drive water main, and the design of the six-
laning of Airport Road.
Mr. Peek stated that a critical path notice to proceed a~ound May
000£N0126
April 3, 1990
let will put the project through design and permitting around the /st
of September, award a contract in November, commence construction in
December and complete construction around May, 1991.
Mr. Peek advised that he has two concerns that may require DER
Dredge and Fill Permits; Vanderbilt Beach Road near the Ritz Carlton
Hotel, and the intersection of 91st Avenue and Sixth Street. He
informed that if these permits are not required, the time frame may
compressed slightly.
Commissioner Shanahan stated that one of the things that con-
cerns him about these types of pro3ects are disruption of the area and
restoration of same. Mr. Peek replied that he believes that minimum
disruption and satisfactory restoration depends on the manner in which
the specs are written so that the contractor does not get way out in
front of his restoration work.
Commissioner Hasse questioned what type of piping material is
being considered for this pro3ect? Mr. Kennedy stated that 12" and
16" lines will be required. He noted that the 12" lines will probably
be PVC, and typically, the 16" is generally duct liner pipe.
Upon conclusion of the consultants, presentations, the Selection
Tabulation Forms were completed.
Mr. Bloetscher announced that there ts a tie between Agnoli,
Barber and Brundage, Inc. and Wilson, Miller, Barton & Peek, Inc.
Utilities Administrator Arnold advised that in the case of a tie,
the firms prior work with the County is to be considered, and the firm
that has been awarded the least amount of work would be the tie
breaking factor. He noted that AgnolJ, Barber and Brundage, Inc. has
had the least amount of work with the County.
Co~issioner Goodnight moved, seconded by Commissioner Maunders
mnd carried 4/0 that Agnoli, Barber and Brundage, Inc. be selected as
the final consultant for the professional engineering services for the
~ulfshore Drive/Sixth Street water main design project, and staff
negotiate m contract and return same for Board approval.

MI$SIMEI~ & AS$O(IIATES, INC. SELECTED AS PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING FIRM
TO PK~I~IDE HYDRO~EOLOGICAL SERVICES FOR DEEP AQUIFER INVESTIGATIONS
(P.~P e9-~502)
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Dally News on
December 17, 1989, as evidenced by Affi~avlt of Publication filed with
the Clerk, btds were received until 2:00 P.M., on January 12, 1990, to
consider RFP #89-1502, Deep Aquifer Hydrogeologlc Services.
Assistant Utilities Administrator Bloetscher stated that In
October, 1989, discussions were held relative to the future sources of
water In the County, and the need for a review of the deeper saline
sources. He indicated that when Staff put together the RFP on this
issue, three things were to be considered; the geologic strata of
going into the ground to see what would provide the County with viable
aquifers; a disposal source if the County has to go to a RO system;
and a potential aquifer storage and recovery area so that water could
be pumped and stored into an area where it could be retrieved to
alleviate the demands on the Golden Gate Wellfleld durfng the winter
months.
.Cl[!M Rill, Inc.
Mr. Emmette Waite, Office Manager, of CH2M Hill's Ft. Myers office,
advised that his firm has provided hydrogeological and engineering
services tn Collier County since 1953. He stated that the County's
needs as well as the project needs must be unified to interface to
ensure cost effectiveness. He indicated that his firm's approach con-
slders both long and short term goals. He informed that his firm is a
leader in injection well technology and aquifer storage and recovery.
He noted that the results of the project needs to address many fac-
tots, i.e. concurrency.
Mr. Walte introduced Project Manager, Mike Mlcheau, and noted that
he has 15 years experience in Injection of wells, aquifer storage and
recovery, local normal hydrogeologtcal services, and his goal will be
to provide Collier County with a practical and functional system.
<~,",? . Mr. Watte introduced David Pine, who is the country's principle
Page 47
April 3, 1990
designer and developer of the aquifer storage and recovery system, and
has successfully completed 8 of these systems in various states. He
explained that he is the principle designer and engineer for the only
4 aquifer storage and recovery systems that have been permitted and
are operational in the State of Florida. He noted that he has 10
years of experience in the Collier County area developing water
resources.
Mr. Micheau pointed out that the first critical object of the
program is water supply, and to investigate a future expandable water
supply for Collier County. He noted that the second primary objective
is the treatment which has to be a vital part of the investigation.
He indicated that his firm has in-house process engineers that are
current with the latest state-of-the-art membrane technology. He
indicated that a waste stream is developed from the membrane pro-
cessing, and deep well injection is the most viable alternative for
disposal of the brine. He Informed that the final objective to be
addressed is to look at the County's existing resources and to provide
some tnn6vative water supply alternatives relating to aquifer storage
and recovery which is a relatively new concept that will maximize the
resource and treatment facilities while minimizing the environmental
impacts.
Mr. Micheau advised that his firm has developed over 50 wellfields
with a cumulative current potable water supply of 600 MGD, and they
have in-house capabilities to evaluate the data generated from the
investigations and are able to understand the compatibility of the
resource with the latest tuchnolo~y, tle explained that there will be
a smooth interface between water supply and membrane technology which
will lead to a waste drain of brine and in his opinion, deep well
injection is a viable alternative of disposal, and one of the most
cost effective. He stated that his firm is the leader in the State of
Florida in inject]on well technology, design, construction, permitting
and operation, and has designed over 57 injection facilities within
the State.

In answer to Commissioner Shanahan, Mr. Micheau replied that ocean
outfall is another alternative to brine disposal, but this is very
expensive and it is difficult to obtain permits.
Mr. David Pine explained that the problem in Collier County is not
having the water supply where it is neede.l, when it is needed, but
noted that there ~s plenty of water and the solution ts to build a
large reservoir. He advised that over the past few years, his firm
has developed a new concept, aquifer storage recovery, which is simi-
lar to having a big bathtub 800' underground and during the times
of the year when the tourists are gone, and it Is raining and the
demands are down, hundreds of millions of gallons of water can be
stored. He noted that during the year when it has quit raining, and
there Is a great tourist demand, the water is reaped from the ASR
storage.
Mr. Pine reported that feasibility assessments have been done for
the North Collier site, Marco Island, and the City of Naples, and if
the proposed site is implemented, peak demands can be met by 1992. He
explained that he believes that his firm offers strong qualifications
as leaders in deepwell injection and ASR throughout the state, and will
bring Collier County an innovative, cost effective solution which will
save several million dollars within the next 2 years. He stated that
his team is experienced for the project.
~ra~hty and Mtller, Inc.
Mr. Mike Mann, Tampa Office Manager of Geraohty and Miller, Inc.,
introduced Mr. Steve Walker, Project Manager, who is an expert in
hydrogeology and Mr. Jim Wheatley, who has 15 years experience in
water supply development and injection of wells. He explained that his
team has experience in Collier County, and understand its hydrogeology
and geology; has readily available people to be assigned to this pro-
Ject; and is very sensitive to the pressures that Collier County is
facing, and desires to provide the maximum amount of data which allow a
very important decision to be made to provide the needed wate~ during
the next decade. He noted that the need for 6-8 MGD is currently
Page 49
April 3, 1990
recognized, and he understands the future needs.
Mr. Steve Walker reported that several key steps will have 'to be
completed in order to achieve the County's water supply objective. He
noted that the most critical is the project set up phase which will be
to meet with County personnel to fully urderstand the objectives, and
then to move on to define a cost effective project to meet those
Goals. He indicated that the planning process will result tn a plan
for a field investigation designed to develop the maximum amount of
data at the minimum cost, and a drilling and testinG program will be
conducted to find alternatives to meet the 6-8 MGD goals, i.e to look
at ways of b/ending water from different aquifers or through an
aquifer storage and recovery program. He explained that this infor-
mation will be rolled into a modeling effort, if required, which would
be used to further understand the potential for water supply develop-
ment at each of the selected locations. He stated that the next step
will be to look at the wellhead and conveyance piping alternatives
because obtaining the water from the wellfields to the treatment faci-
lities can have a significant cost. He remarked that all the infor-
mation will be documented in final reports and the County will be
provided with recommendations on how to proceed to develop supplies
from these areas, and if appropriate, this information can be used for
the permit application.
Mr. Walker indicated that in order for the program to be effec-
tive, potential impacts to the environment will be addressed: water
level impacts to the lakes, streams, and stressed vegetation. He
reported that since this lsa deep aquifer program, it is unlikely
that productions from these lower zones would cause impacts to the
land surface. He explained that impacts for the groundwater users
will also be considered. He noted that water quality and water quan-
tity are the chief considerations. He mentioned that the amount of
salt in the water that is produced from the deep aquifers will affect
the type and the cost of the treatment, and noted that there will be
an evaluation of the safe y~e]d which is the amount of water that can
Page 50
April 3, 1990
be pumped without causing undesired affects.
Mr. Walker stated that an investigation has been conducted of
water resources for the use of deep aquifer water for RO at Pelican
Bay and a fresh water. ~upply has been developed for Venice Gardens
Utilities and their capabilities have b~n expanded to be suitable for
RO treatment. He affirmed that he believes his flrm brtnDs a very
strong prnJect team to Collier County to do the work.
Mr. Walker advised that Mr. Daniel RothenberGer will be respon-
sible for the overall strategy of the project and quality control, and
assisted by Messrs. Peter Palmer and Vtnce Amy. He remarked that he
will be the project manager, and the County's primary contact. He
Informed that his prr~Ject team has been selected based on their qua]i-
flcatIons and they are available to begin the project. He noted that
a field office will be opened in Naples to provide a local base of
operation, and a point of contact for staff.
Mr. Mann repo~ted that in reviewtn~ th~ Qualifications of the pro-
~ect team, he believes they will brlnG Collier County a unique capabi-
lity for this project. He related that they understand the local
area, will bring an objective approach to this proJect to look at the
best alternatives, and are committed to commit to a field office tn
Naples, and are ready to 9o to work for Collier County.
Mr. Tom Mlsslmer, President, Mlsslmer & Associates, Inc., advised
that he is the principle in charge. He introduced Mr. Patrick Smith,
specialist In deep well Injection; Mr. Kirk Martin, Hyrdo9eolo9lst In
charge; and Mr. Larry Holland, we]] construction specialist.
Mr. Mlsslmer e×p]alned that there are fou~ obJectlves relating to
this project: assess deep aquifers for future water supply sources;
assess deep aquifers for future treated freshwater tnJectton and reco-
very; locate injection zone or alternative disposal method for
membrane concentrate water; and aNNess l'elatlve costN of each tech-
nology or water supply opinion (wellftelds). He indicated that his
firm will provide the most economic solution to the problem of pro-
Page 51
April 3, 1990
riding Collier County with water in the future.
Mr. Mlssimer stated that he believes that his firm is the most
qualified to service Collier County, notinG that they have local
knowledge and the best data base in S.W. Florida, i.e. data for
2,100 wells in Collier County. He commented that his firm has con-
ducted deep aquifer tests in the northern portion of Collier County
and ~larco Island, and there is also in-house data relatinG to the lower
portion of the County. He affirmed that expertise tn membrane tech-
nology and associated wellfields is another advantage that his firm
has.
Mr. Missimer indicated that his firm takes pride in its past per-
formance of work in Collier County, have always been on time and
within budget and construction costs. He ~nformed that the personnel
that will work on this project is located in Southwest Florida, and
have no conflicts with other governments in the withdrawal area.
Mr. Missimer advised that the new north plant and the existing
plant will be able to be supplied to full capacity by water from the
Golden Gate wellfield, and probably will neve~ have to go to desalina-
tion of deeper aquifers in those areas, but there may be some limitation
in the south area which may result in reverse osmosis. He explained
that his team has expertise in all phases of deep well technology. He
ind~cated that he hopes that Collier County will not have to ~o to
deep well injection to dispose of the brine, but if it does, his firm
has an ongoing deep well project on Marco Island that will be com-
pleted very soon.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Miss]met informed that every
alternative means will be exhausted before injections are made to the
boulder zone. He e×p]ained that the cost for a 12" tubing and packer
constructed well in the boulder zone for RO concentrate is approxima-
tely $2.8 million.
With regard to brine disposal, Commissioner Shanahan questioned
whether the permitting possibilities are such that it would be advi-
seable to circumvent the deep well injection7 Mr. Missimer reported
Page 52
April 3, 1990
that a membrane treatment process will be used to treat fresh water
from the Golden Gate Estates wellfield to take out the organic com-
pounds, lie stated that it ts Important to realize that the effluent
coming out of the plant will not be of bl;d quality, and as a last
possibility, the County may be forced to Inject that. He indicated
that the situation is a bit different on Marco since there ts a
poorer quality of water that has to be treated and the dissolve
solids are higher.
In answer to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Missimer explained that
currently the rules state that 5% reject and 95% wastewater can be
mixed to be disposed of in any manner that is desired. He advised
that this can be spread on the surface, ditch irrigated, or a number
of other options are available.
It this tim the Commission completed the bid tatnllatton sheets,
with Ntsstmer and Associates, Inc. bmtng selected as the number one
firm.
