Fire Service Proposal Request
Current Structure and Service Delivery
There are four dependent fire districts created by Municipal Service Taxing Units (MSTU) under the
control of th e Collier County Board of County Commissioners. Two (2), Isles of Capri (IoC) and
Ochopee (OFD), operate full -service fire departments, and the other two (2), Collier County Fire
District (District One) and Goodland/Horr’s Island (Goodland) contract fire services with other existing
departments.
The Isles of Capri Department serves nearly two thousand (2,000 ) structures and approximately
twenty (20 ) square miles with twenty -four (24 ) hour operations of two (2) engines, a squad, a
fire/rescue boat and hou sing for EMS transport unit and crew operating from one (1) location . Nine
(9 full -time employees : two (2 ) firefighters and one (1 ) fire lieutenant per shift) are budgeted to cover
three (3) shifts and respond to approximately four hundred seventy five (475 ) calls per year. The
current budget (FY15) also includes a Fire Chief and administrative support position. The Fiscal Year
2015 budget is $1,3 24 ,6 00. Ad valorem taxes of $1,077,964 are based on a taxable value of
$538,981,777 at a rate of two (2.00 ) mills.
It should be noted that an additional variable within the options contained in this report is the desire for
the Fiddlers Creek residents within the Isles of Capri District to request voluntary annexation into the
Greater Naples Fire District. Fi ddlers Creek represents approximately, twelve (12%) percent of the
tax base and revenue currently received by the Isles of Capri Fire District MSTU. Plans are
proceeding to remove this area from the Isles of Capri MSTU effective with the FY16 Budget year.
The Ochopee Fire Control Department serves approximately 3,200 structures and 840 square miles
with 24 hour operations of two engines, a squad, a fire rescue boat, two stations, housing for one
EMS transport unit and crew. Fifteen fulltime employees cov er three shifts responding to
approximately 680 calls per year. Administrative and supervisory support is limited to one secretary,
a Chief and a Battalion Chief. Ochopee Fire also provides services to three airports (Everglades,
Collier -Dade Transitiona l, and Oasis), marine services covering over 25 miles of shoreline with island
structures, and has several memorandums of understanding to assist with fire service to numerous
federal agencies, parks, preserves and oil fields. The Fiscal Year 2015 budget is $1,8 95 ,4 00. Ad
valorem taxes of $1,231,614 are based on a taxable value of $307,903,466 at a rate of 4.00 mills.
Ochopee Fire also oversees a new public safety center located on Alligator Alley (I -75) at mile marker
63. Funding for the operation of t his station, including equipment and personnel (9 firefighters and 3
paramedics) is provided for the next three years through a grant from the Florida Department of
Transportation. After four years of funding, an alternative funding source must be identif ied.
District One in Collier County covers the lands both north and east of the Ochopee Fire District that
are do not fall into another fire district. It includes additional land consumed by the Everglades
restoration efforts, other infra -structure, and even oil wells. These lands also receive wildfire
suppression efforts from Federal and State operations such as Florida Division of Forestry and others.
District One currently generates tax revenue of $306,227 based on taxable values of $153,113,391 at
a rate of 2 mills. Presently, the County divides that revenue between the Golden Gate, East Naples
(now the consolidated Greater Naples Fire District, $1 61 ,2 00 ), Ochopee ($80,600), and Isles of Capri
Fire Departments ($54,900).
The Goodland/Horr’s Island District generates $93,106 in ad valorem taxes based on taxable values
of $72,967,382 at a tax rate of 1.2760 mills. Services are contracted to the City of Marco Island Fire
Department.

ARTICLE 13
PROMOTIONS
Section l3.l
Promotions are oftbred in an effort to recognize and reward an employee for acceptance
of increased responsibilities. A promotion occurs as a result of a competitive process for a
vacant position. Employees who meet the minimum requirements established in the position
classification and successfully complete the promotional testing process will be given first
consideration in filling the vacancy.
Upon promotion to a classification with a higher pay grade, the employee shall receive up
to a l0 percent (10%) pay increase or the base salary of the new position, whichever is greater,
pursuant to County CMA #5341(attached).
Section 13.2
Any time an employee accepts a promotion to any position within the District, that
employee shall be on probation for the first six months in the new position. At any time during
the six-month probationary period, the employee may be demoted without recourse provided the
employee is returned to the employee's prior job classification without loss of seniority, as soon
as an opening permits. A demoted employee will be paid at the rate the employee would have
received had he/she not been promoted. The demoted employee will be provided a written
explanation as to why he or she was demoted.
Section 13.3
In order to get promoted from firefighter to lieutenant, you must be on the acting officer
in charge list. The acting officer in charge list lasts indefinitely and can be tested from when the
employee becomes eligible. In order to be eligible to take the test, you must have worked for
Isles of Capri Fire District for at least the last five (5) consecutive years as a fulI time employee,
must possess a current State Fire Officer 1 certificate and/or an Associate Degree in Fire
Sciences.
Whenever a lieutenant's position becomes available, the only personnel eligible to test for
that position are the personnel already on the acting in charge list. If there is only one employee
on the list, the position automatically goes to that employee with no test necessary.
Promotional testing (separate from acting office in charge testing) will take place only
when there is a promotional opening and there will be no list for future promotions. In the event
that the newly promoted Lieutenant does not pass the probationary period, the individual with the
next highest qualifuing score will be awarded the position and so on.
Promotional testing will consist of an oral testing board and a written exam. The written
exam will consist of one hundred (100) questions from the current IFSTA company officer book
and fifty (50) questions from the Isles of Capri Fire District policy/SOGs. The test will be
changed for each promotional testing cycle so as not to give advantage to anyone who has taken
t9
it previously. In addition to the internal testing representatives, no less than two (2) officers
from an outside agency of Captain's rank or higher will be on the oral testing board.
If no internal applicants are qualified to sit for promotional testing, management reserves the
right to hire and promote from outside the Isles of Capri Fire District. All extemal applicants
will meet the educational and time in service requirements of this Article.
The current list for promotions will remain in effect until December 31 ,2014.

compensated as if they worked their regular shift schedule regardless of the actual hours worked

Both the County and the Union recognize that drug and alcohol abuse is a growing
problem among our nation's work force. The County and the Union also recognize the
tremendous cost, both in terms of efficiency and in human suffering caused by needless work
place accidents. Acknowledging the necessity for action, the following Alcohol and Drug
Testing program is hereby initiated.
Section 36.2
In the event a member of management has a reasonable suspicion to believe that an
employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol on duty, he/she may require that the
employee submit to an industry accepted breathalyzer test, blood test, urinalysis and/or other
appropriate testing. Reasonable suspicion may be based upon a variety of factors, including but
not limited to accident, absenteeism, injury, conduct, performance, physical signs such as
impaired reactions or judgment, slurred or exaggerated speech or lack of balance, as well as the
smell or presence of alcohol or a controlled substance, or reports by other employees. Should the
employee test positive to alcohol or drugs, the County will utilize a confirmatory process before
taking further action. Such confirmatory process will utilize industry accepted testing
procedures.
Section 36.3
In the event an appropriate management official as defined in Section 38.2 above requests
that an employee submit to a breath, blood, urine and/or other tests, and the employee refuses to
submit to such test or tests, such refusal may result in disciplinary action, up to and including
discharge.

In order to promote safety, health and security concerns, the Fire Chief and/or designee
may search lockers, vehicles and other County-owned or supplied area. The Fire Chief and/or his

handbags, lunch boxes, and other containers or personal effects including outer clothing. At no

sex. An employee's refusal to cooperate with or submit to a search may result in disciplinary
action up to and including discharge.

who uses, possesses, dispenses, sells or buys illegal drugs or narcotics, whether on or off duty, or
who uses or possesses alcohol while on duty, or who reports to work under the influence of
illegal drugs or alcohol. The existence of an Employee Assistance Program does not affect the
right of the County to impose discipline, up to and including termination, for violating this
Article.
Section 36.8
Any employee who is convicted, pleads guilty or no lo contendre (no contest) to any
criminal drug statute violation, whether on or off duty, must notifu the Director of Human

ADDENDUM 3
Memorandum
Date: April 2, 2015
From: Joanne Markiewicz, Director, Procurement Services Division
To: Fire / Rescue Proposers
Subject: Addendum # 3 ; Collier County Fire Service Request
The following clarification s are issued as an addendum to respond to questions :
1) I was informed that a portion of District 1 is in the process of being annexed into Greater
Naples FRD, resulting in a decrease in the taxable property in District 1. Is that correct, and
if so what is the decrease in tax able value?
Response: This is an uninhabited, unimproved area. We estimate loss of revenue of
approximately $5,000.
2) I was informed that the county receives payment in lieu of taxes (PILT) from areas of
Ochopee and/or District 1. Where do those payment s come from and what are the
amounts?
Response: Payments in Lieu of Taxes" (or PILT) are Federal payments to local
governments that help offset losses in property taxes due to nontaxable Federal lands
within their boundaries. PILT payments help local g overnments carry out such vital services
as firefighting and police protection, construction of public schools and roads, and search -
and -rescue operations. The payments are made annually for tax -exempt Federal lands
administered by the BLM, the National Pa rk Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (all
agencies of the Interior Department), the U.S. Forest service (part of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture), and for Federal water projects and some military installations. The vast
majority of these doll ars (99%) are unrestricted funds that “a unit of general local
government may use for any governmental purpose”.
3) The revenue detail, 146 Transfers, 481001 Transfer from 001 General Fund, shows
revenue of $519,900. Is this from the PILT funds and/or other revenue specified for fire
protection? Please provide a breakdown of all sources of these funds?
Response: The transfer from General Fund is not directly related to PILT funds and is in an
amount necessary to balance the budget and ensure adequate fire services are provided.

Ochopee Federal Payment In Lieu of Taxes Fact Sheet
Payments in Lieu of Taxes" (or PILT) are Federal payments to local governments that help offset losses in
property taxes due to nontaxable Federal lands within their boundaries.
"Payments in Lieu of Taxes" (or PILT) are Federal payments to local governments that help offset losses in
property taxes due to nontaxable Federal lands within their boundaries. The key law that implements the
payments are Public Law 94 -565, dated October 20, 1976. This law was rewritten and amended by Public
Law 97 -258 on September 13, 1982 and codified at Chapter 69, Title 31 of the United States Code .
PILT payments help local governments carry out such vital services as firefighting and police protection,
construction of public schools and roads, and search -and -rescue operations. The payments are made
annually for tax -exempt Federal lands administered by the BLM, the National Park Service , the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (all agencies of the Interior Department), the U.S. Forest service (part of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture), and for Federal water projects and some military installations. PILT payments are
one of the ways that the Federal government can fulfill its role of being a good neighbor to local communities.
According to the Department of Interior, there are 511,110 acres of federal lands within Collier County
representing 20% of the state wide total.
During FY 2011, Coll ier County received $1,240,307 in General Fund Federal PILT dollars and the vast
majority of these dollars 99% was distributed under Section 6902 which states that “a unit of general local
government may use the payment for any governmental purpose”. PILT dollars based upon historical
records were first received in September 1977 (late in FY 1977). Deposit of PILT dollars fully within the
General Fund began in FY 92 in accordance with Board action in March of that year. Previously dollars were
budgeted eith er directly within the Ochopee Fire District Fund (146) or split among other funds based upon
budget guidance and other identified parameters.
