C. ABB Drainage Projects
Mr. Carr and Mr. Cull, Agnoli, Barber and Brundage,presented a power point presentation of
the proposed drainage improvements for the Forest Lakes MSTU and distributed an"Opinion of
Cost."
Project Overview
• Improve drainage of Forest Lakes Blvd near intersection of Quail Forest Blvd.
• Increase pipe size of outfall to lake.
• Add headwall at lake outfall.
• Add new inlet on north side of Forest Lakes Blvd.
• Review of existing conditions.
• Locate existing utilities.
• Review disruption of landscape area and trees along pipe alignment.
During Committee discussion the following was noted:
• Pipe replacement is planned for the same location as the current pipe.
• Diameter of pipe options—24"versus 36" and benefits of size.
• Should the entire run of pipe be oval pipe versus a combination of oval and standard
circular pipe?
Mr. Carr noted he does not recommend continuous oval pipe based on cost increase.
• Is the headwall required or can existing conditions be maintained?
Mr. Carr. agreed to reevaluate the headwall construction and/or adjust the headwall to
meet existing conditions.
• Is there an"as built"by electrical engineers?
Mr. Carr will investigate if original "as built"drawings are available.
• Electrical conduits will run under the sidewalk.
• The elevation variance between the road and the outfall is 2 %2 feet.
• The field work is complete.
• Availability of funds to finance the project.
Opinion of Cost
The "Opinion of Cost" submitted by Agnoli, Barber and Brundage totaled $93,737 for the stormwater
improvements. $12,000 allocated for Roadway and Drainage Allowance may not be required and
$16,150 budgeted for concrete endwalls may be reduced if the bank and rip rap can be restored.
Coordination of Agnoli, Barber and Brundage projects to include the North and West Outfall project
(proposal due February 2017)will potentially avoid incremental costs for mobilization.
Mr. Schumacher noted the stormwater project and required funding is subject to review and
approval by the accounting office.

C. Traffic Study and Standardization
Mr. Schumacher researched options to standardize signage and speed limits with Collier County
Traffic Ops enforcement with the following results:
• 30 MPH is the minimum enforceable speed; however a waiver can be requested by the
MSTU to reduce the speed to 25 MPH.
• An agreement can be executed between the Sheriff's department and the MSTU to enforce
speed limits, a precedent set by other communities.
• The feedback from residents in other communities regarding this policy has been negative.
During Committee discussion the following was stated:
• Forest Lakes streets are a combination of public and private property posing the question as
to the right of accessibility by Collier County Traffic Ops and their ability to issue
summons.
• There is not a Master Homeowners Association so multiple Associations have to concur
and sign off on the policy.
Mr. Schumacher will invite a representative(s)from the County Traffic Division to attend a
future meeting to update the Committee on new rules regarding speed limit enforcement, safety
and available options.

During Committee discussion the following was noted:
• Golf Cart and Pedestrian Crossings paint options include A. replacement, or B. paint over
existing striping.
• Does the quote include reflector replacement?
• Should the edge of the roadways be striped?

• Prioritizing of areas to be striped—roadways versus pedestrian and cart crossings.
Mr. Schumacher will investigate prior authorization of striping for golf cart and pedestrian
crossings and report his findings to the Committee.
Mr. Schumacher will request the contractor conduct a walk through and finalize a quote
