Collier Creek Dredging Project 2 December 8, 2017 Mr. McAlpin presented the Executive Summary "Recommendation to declare that emergency circumstances exist based on damage caused by Hurricane Irma to Collier Creek; authorize an expedited procurement process to obtain quotes and negotiate a contract; authorize the County Manager or his designee to execute a contract to be presented to the Board for "after-the-fact" approval at the next regularly scheduled Commission meeting; authorize the necessary budget amendment; and make a finding that this item promotes tourism (Fiscal Impact$1,320,000)" dated December 8,2017 for consideration. He provided a series of photos which depicted the conditions of Collier Creek pre and post Hurricane Irma. He noted: • That the channel area is characterized as the most dynamic in Collier County and is currently undergoing a master plan study given it is utilized by 1/3 of the Marco Island boaters and is required to be dredged frequently to ensure boater safety. • The channel suffered significant impacts because of Hurricane Irma with the area seeing an 8-foot tidal change in a 3-hour period. • The event resulted in the damage to the jetty at the end of the channel with its boulders strewn about in the water, sand displacement from area beaches into the pass, destruction of the seawalls and docks in the area and undermining of a Villa De Marco condominium building. • In addition to the sand,boulders, etc. now in the channel, debris from the various sources ended up in the water as well. • The area needs to be dredged immediately to ensure safe navigation as the channel continues to be utilized by boaters. • The dredging work requires an expedited bidding process,be potentially eligible for FEMA funding and completed in the beginning of 2018. • The 12— 15K cy of contaminated material will need to be removed"off site"by truck as opposed to placed on area beaches as it does not meet the requirements for beach quality sand. • The work required to rebuild the jetty will occur at a later date. Mr. Rios moved to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners, declare that emergency circumstances exist based on damage caused by Hurricane Irma to Collier Creek; authorize an expedited procurement process to obtain quotes and negotiate a contract; authorize the County Manager or his designee to execute a contract to be presented to the Board for "after-the-fact"approval at the next regularly scheduled Commission meeting; authorize the necessary budget amendment;and find that the item promotes tourism (Fiscal Impact$1,320,000).

Mr. Miller queried on funds available for damage in Everglade City and Mr. McAlpin reported that the County would be looking at the area and recommended that he contact the County Manager on the item.

He noted: • That the work is required under the County's Florida Department of Environmental Conservation permits and is conducted annually. • Included in the proposal is an allowance for private beach areas of Port Royal and Barefoot beach to participate in the County's beach renourishment project through a Memorandum of Understanding. Any funds expended by the County on private lands would need to be reimbursed by the private party. • The amount allocated for the survey work is $10,000 for Barefoot Beach and $7,500 for Port Royal. • Should those entities not participate in the endeavor, the contracted work would be reduced by the aforementioned amounts. Mr. Rios moved to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposal dated December 5, 2017 from Humiston &Moore Engineers for Collier County Beaches and Inlets Annual Monitoring for 2018 under Contract No. 15-6382, and authorize the County Manager or his designee to execute the work order not to exceed the amount of$99,000.00, and finds this expenditure promotes tourism.
