Agenda 02/14/2017 Item #16C202/14/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to advise the Board of a $25,000 contribution from Florida Department of Environmental
Protection as part of Contract GC-690 with Collier County, toward purchase of a replacement county vehicle.
OBJECTIVE: To recognize the offer from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) of $25,000
under Contract GC-690 as a contribution toward purchase of a replacement county vehicle for the Program staff.
CONSIDERATION: Collier County has continuously maintained revenue earning contracts with the DEP since
1992 to undertake inspections of regulated storage tanks. The objective of the program, which is part of the Solid
and Hazardous Waste Management Division’s (SHWMD) ongoing work, is to protect the groundwater, lan ds, and
surface waters of the county from accidental discharges of hazardous materials stored in regulated tanks. The
current contract, GC-690, began July 1, 2007, and will end June 30, 2017 but FDEP has indicated it intends offering
a renewal contract.
The FDEP has recently offered funding in the amount of $25,000 to offset the acquisition, maintenance, operation
and ownership of a vehicle by May 31, 2017 for the expansion of the compliance verification activities under the
Contract and its renewals.
The relationship between the SHWMD and the DEP and the high standard of work over the past years by staff has
significantly contributed to this offer. The timing is fortuitous as one of the Section’s vehicles is due for replacement
during 2017. Fleet Management confirmed that acquisition of a suitable vehicle as an addition to the county fleet,
using this funding source, is fully acceptable. Acceptance of this task assignment saves rate payers $25,000 for a
vehicle planned for replacement.
FISCAL IMPACT: The $25,000 will not fully cover the cost of the replacement vehicle and an additional
estimated $13,000 will be required. Sufficient funds to purchase the vehicle are currently available in the Solid and
Hazardous Waste Disposal Fund (470) and requires an Administrative Budget Amendment.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for Board
approval. - SRT
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This program partially satisfies Goal 3 of the Conservation and Coast al
Management Element, which states “The County shall protect the County’s groundwater resources to ensure the
highest water quality practical.” This program is also specified in Objective 9.4 of the Conservation and Coastal
Management Element, which requires “The County to establish a local storage tank program.”
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners recognizes the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection’s offer and the County’s acceptance of $25,000 in revenue for purpose of acq uiring a
replacement vehicle for the Program staff.

ACCEPTANCE OF TASK ASSIGNMENT 11 OF FDEP CONTRACT GC-690 AND THE
ASSOCIATED $25,000 REVENUE
BCC MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 2017 - ITEM 16C
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Contract GC-690
Contract GC-690 is a long-term contract with FDEP whereby county gets paid by FDEP for completing
compliance inspections of mainly petroleum storage tanks that are required by law to be registered with
the State.
How does the FDEP notify county of the tank inspections it is requesting
Each year FDEP provides county, as part of the Contract GC-690, with an Annual Task Assignment in
which the tanks to be inspected and the rates for different types on inspection are defined.
What does Task Assignment 11 specify?
Task Assignment 11 is unusual in that it does not require any inspections to be done but instead offers
county $25,000 (essentially as a reward for excellent past work) as a contribution toward the
acquisition, maintenance, operation and ownership of a vehicle for the use of the Tanks Inspection
Program.
Can County accept the Task Assignment?
There appear to be no problems associated with the acceptance of the Task and its associated $25,000
revenue.
What will County do with the Revenue from the Task Assignment?
County will use the funding contribution to help acquire a vehicle for the Program. Fleet has confirmed it
has no problem with such an acquisition and the vehicle will merely join the County Vehicle Fleet.
What advantage does this Item bring to County?
Acceptance of this Task Assignment 11 and its revenue will significantly help with the finance of one of
the Programs replacement vehicles that would have been scheduled for FY 2018.
