Agenda 07/07/2015 Item #16A217/7/2015 16.A.21. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to accept a proposal from Atkins North America, Inc. dated June 19, 2015 for the development of a Comprehensive Watershed Improvement Project, approve a Work Order under Contract No. 13- 6164 -SS for a not -to- exceed amount of $179,897, authorize the County Manager or his designee to execute the Work Order and authorize all necessary budget amendments. Project No. 51144.3 OBJECTIVE: To develop a specific, comprehensive, multi -year Watershed Improvement Project for Collier County that integrates both the 2011 Watershed Management Plan (WMP) and the Golden Gate Watershed Improvement Plan (GGWIP) into a single comprehensive plan that is consistent with our overall watershed management program goals; is able to be permitted; has the support of local community; can be funded and used for grant applications and is implementable over 10 years. CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County is desirous of developing a Comprehensive Watershed Improvements Program (CWIP) that is consistent with the County's comprehensive, unified Watershed Management Plan. As an active member of the RESTORE Act Gulf Consortium, Collier County is also interested in developing a program that is complementary to the goals of the RESTORE Act and is potentially eligible for related funding from either the Comprehensive Plan Component Fund or the Spill Impact Component Fund. The Collier County Watershed Management Plan (volumes 1 -3) prepared by Atkins Engineering and published in November 2011, and the Golden Gate Watershed Improvement Program (GGWIP) as adopted by Collier County and the City of Naples in February 2015, will serve as the backbones for this plan. The goals of the CWIP will be to advance water quality improvements, improve flood control, recharge aquifers and ecosystem restoration throughout Collier County. It is anticipated that Collier County, the City of Naples, The City of Marco Island, Big Cypress Basin/SFWMD and Rookery Bay will participate in the plans review and development process. Development of this plan will be managed by Collier County utilizing a regional Technical Advisory Committee with significant input and review from non - governmental organizations (NGO) and citizens of Collier County. A significant focus will be placed on the utilization and integration of existing data and studies. Collier County will also value, to a high degree, the inclusion of the RESTORE Act Gulf Consortium's consultant as an active participant /member of this project development. Where possible, Collier County is committed to the utilization of the existing studies, reports and modeling efforts that have defined these operational goals over the years. Collier County anticipates this program development will be completed, reviewed and approved by all local governments by January 2016. Collier also anticipates the finished product will be the development of a multi -year, multi -phase comprehensive project plan, including implementation Packet Page -1036- 7/7/2015 16.A.21. strategies that will require several years to design/permit and five to eight years to construct. The development of this CWIP will be for the front -end program /project definition and does not include any project design, permitting or construction activities. However, next steps, such as resource identification, research gaps, partner participation, etc. will need to be included in this phase of work. The project execution portion of the program will be contracted separately. To assure compliance with procurement requirements, Staff requested proposals from all 14 stormwater consultants currently under Collier County contract 13- 6164 -SS. Atkins North America, Inc. was the only consultant to reply to this solicitation. Atkins however, is uniquely qualified to perform this work having developed the 2011 WMP and numerous water projects for the County and other local governments throughout the state. Atkins has also proposed the use of an exceptional team of sub - consultants to support this project. These individuals have played key roles in previous Collier County projects and provide additional expertise with the Big Cypress Basin of SFWMD, strategic knowledge with the RESTORE Act Consortium, modeling capability and program/project development. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $179,897.00 are available in the Stormwater Master Plan Fund 325 capital improvement program. A budget amendment will be needed to move funding from the LASIP Project No. 51101 into the Stormwater Master Plan project. Source of funds is ad valorem. Grant funding will not be used to fund this project nor will reimbursement be requested from any grantor agency. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan related to this action. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. — CMG RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves a proposal from Atkins North America, Inc. dated June 19, 2015 for the development of a Comprehensive Watershed Improvement Project (CWIP), approves a Work Order under Contract No. 13-6164 - SS for a not to exceed amount of $179,897.00, authorizes the County Manager or his designee to execute the Work Order and authorizes all necessary budget amendments.

Collier County Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan CN 13- 6164- SS/RFP 15 -6464 June 19, 2015 Atkins North America (CONSULTANT) is pleased to provide the following scope of work for professional engineering services to Collier County (COUNTY) for the development of a comprehensive watershed management program to formulate technical, environmental and funding strategies for implementation of projects and plans identified in the Collier County Watershed Management Plan ( CCWMP), 2011. BACKGROUND Approximately 70 percent of Collier County (ca. 1,400 square miles) has been altered by human alternations to the natural hydrology (Atkins 2011). Prior to human alterations, rainfall either infiltrated into the surficial and intermediate aquifers or flowed slowly through extensive wetland systems into the coastal waters of Collier County. However, over the past 100 years, construction of roads and canals for urban and agricultural developments has changed the timing and volume of freshwater inflows to coastal waters, which in turn has dramatically affected the ecological health of many of Collier County's estuaries. In addition to changes in the timing and volume of freshwater inflows into coastal waters, drainage alterations and urbanization have lowered groundwater levels, filled wetlands, altered wildlife distribution patterns, and increased the delivery of nutrients and other pollutants to coastal waters. Collier County's population is expected to continue to grow at a rapid rate, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach to deal with these issues. The Collier County Watershed Management Plan ( CCWMP) produced by Atkins in 2011 developed a comprehensive approach to protecting and /or restoring the altered hydrology of the priority watersheds of the Cocohatchee River and Corkscrew Swamp, Golden Gate Canal and Naples Bay, Rookery Bay and its watershed, and the watersheds and estuaries of the Ten Thousand Islands. The CCWMP identified a number of linked hydrologic and ecological restoration projects that would function on a regional basis to allow the County to manage its natural resources in a more holistic manner. The CCWMP was presented at a number of public workshops, and was reviewed for technical accuracy by staff with Collier County, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and the South Florida Water Management District. The CCWMP was then reviewed and adopted by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners. Below are the recommended capital projects from the CCWMP that will be the focus of this comprehensive plan. 1 Packet Page -1041- 7/7/2015 16.A.21. Collier County Watershed Management Plan Recommended Capital Projects North Golden Gate Estates Flowway Restoration Project North Belle Meade Spreader Swale Henderson Creek Diversion South 1 -75 Canal Spreader Swale Wolfe Road Wetland Treatment System Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed Upper Golden Gate Estates Canal Weir Construction Orange Tree Canal Control Structure Installation Henderson Creek Off -Line Storage Reservoir US HWY 41 Stormwater Treatment Area To facilitate coordination between the County and the City of Naples, the Golden Gate Watershed Improvement Program ( GGWIP) was adopted by Collier County and the City of Naples in February 2015. The CCWMP and the GGWIP are the core documents to be used in the development of the County's Comprehensive Watershed Management Program. The objectives of this project are to: 1) re- evaluate, further develop, and integrate projects already outlined in the CCWMP into a Comprehensive Watershed Management Program that meets the goals of both the GGWIP and the RESTORE Act; and 2) assist Collier County developing funding strategies for projects identified in the Comprehensive Watershed Management Program, including various RESTORE Act funding streams. SCOPE OF SERVICES Task 1— Data Collection and Evaluation The CCWMP was completed in 2011. Since that time, conditions surrounding some of the recommended projects may have changed. Furthennore, additional studies and projects have been completed involving the watershed. All of the available data and information pertaining to the recommended projects and the changes in conditions must be compiled to efficiently complete an evaluation of the projects. The CONSULTANT will collect and organize the following data; • Available studies in the vicinity of the CCWMP recommended projects • Newly constructed development and project plan data • Permitted development and project plan data not yet constructed — including new road construction projects planned within Collier County • The most recent Geographical Information System (GIS) data available in the project areas including but not limited to; o Aerial photography o Parcel data • Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) data • Digital Elevation data 2 Packet Page -1042- 7/7/2015 16.A.21. Deliverables • Technical memorandum describing and documenting data collected and where it is located in the project deliverable folder • Data collected in an organized, electronic deliverable Task 2 — Initial Stakeholder Meetings and Coordination The support of governmental agencies and non - governmental organizations potentially impacted by this program will be critical to its success. Therefore, the CONSULTANT will organize and facilitate up to two (2) meetings with key governmental agencies and non - governmental organizations including: • Collier County • Golden Gate Watershed Improvement Program Technical Advisory Ad Hoc Committee • City of Naples • City of Marco Island • Collier Soil and Water Conservation District • Florida Department of Environmental Protection • Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve • Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission • South Florida Water Management District (Big Cypress Basin) • Conservancy of Southwest Florida • Audubon Society The purpose of these initial stakeholder meeting(s) will be to review the project objectives and obtain input with respect to changed conditions since the adoption of the CCWMP in 2011, current project concepts and funding opportunities resulting from the RESTORE Act, and recommendations for project evaluation criteria. Stakeholder coordination will continue informally throughout the duration of the project with the input and guidance from COUNTY. The CONSULTANT will organize and facilitate a follow up meeting collectively with the above identified organizations to review and obtain comments on the draft Comprehensive Watershed Management Program. Deliverables • Meeting minutes from the initial stakeholder meeting(s) Task 3 — Evaluation of Existing CCWMP Recommended Projects Since the completion of CCWMP conditions surrounding some of the recommended projects may have changed. Accordingly, the CONSULTANT will re- evaluate the CCWMP recommended projects in terms of technical, environmental and economic feasibility, constructability and ability to be permitted based on current conditions - including whether real properties recommended for acquisition are still available and at what cost. A brief field reconnaissance of the project sites will be completed under this task to verify general field conditions at. The work conducted under this task will be summarized in a draft and final Technical Memorandum. 3 Packet Page -1043- 7/7/2015 16.A.21. Deliverables • Technical memorandum describing the status of each of the projects relative to feasibility, constructability and permittability based on today's conditions. Task 4 — Project Conceptual Designs and Feasibility Analysis Once the preliminary re- evaluation of the projects is complete, the CONSULTANT will further develop the existing project descriptions for a limited number of the existing projects into conceptual project designs equivalent of 15% design level and conduct a feasibility analysis for implementation of the ranked projects. These conceptual hydraulic designs will include project plan views and a typical cross section(s) with key elevation and size information included. Conceptual plans will be enough to adequately depict the project and be overlaid on aerial and available Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) contour information. More specifically, the CONSULTANT will complete an analysis of probable wetland impacts, geotechnical issues, flooding impacts, land acquisition requirements and permitting requirements. Additionally, the existing preliminary cost estimates of each project will be updated to reflect current construction costs as well as property acquisition costs adequate to request project funding. During this project development phase, a more detailed evaluation of project benefits will be accomplished as well as analyzing potential project "fatal flaws ". This includes quantifying project benefits relative to flood control, aquifer recharge, ecosystem restoration and water quality benefits such that they have the best chance to receive RESTORE Act funding. The work conducted under this task will be summarized in a draft and final Technical Memorandum. Deliverables • Technical memorandum describing the feasibility and development of project concepts project conceptual plan sheets Task 5 — Development and Application of Evaluation Criteria The CONSULTANT will develop revised criteria and scoring metrics for evaluating and ranking projects contained in the CCWMP. These criteria will be consistent with the adopted goals and objectives of the Restoration Council, as well as applicable goals and objectives of the County and the GGWIP. The Consultant will develop a draft set of evaluation criteria for review and comment by Collier County. The work conducted under this task will be summarized in a draft and final Technical Memorandum. Deliverables • Technical memorandum summarizing the recommended project evaluation criteria. 4 Packet Page -1044- 7/7/2015 16.A.21. Task 6 — Development of Funding Strategies This task involves the development of funding strategies for the various priority ranked projects. The CONSULTANT will evaluate the applicability of projects with regard to various funding sources including RESTORE Act components, National Fish & Wildlife Foundation grants, DEP's Section 319 grants, EPA's Gulf of Mexico Program funds, Water Management District cooperative funding and other sources. The CONSULTANT will recommend strategies for leveraging the various sources of funding. The work conducted under this task will be summarized in a draft and final Technical Memorandum. Deliverables • Technical memorandum summarizing the recommended funding strategy for the projects. Task 7 — Follow up Stakeholder Meeting(s) The CONSULTANT will organize and facilitate up to two (2) follow up meetings with the key governmental agencies and non - governmental organizations from Task 2 with input and guidance from the COUNTY. The purpose of the follow up stakeholder meeting(s) will be to present the findings and final project rankings that have considered the evaluation criteria and funding strategies for the conceptual project designs, and the input from the stakeholders. Deliverables • Meeting minutes from the follow up stakeholder meeting(s) Task 8 — Development of Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan This task involves the development of a Comprehensive Watershed Management Program document. This document will integrate the information developed for the technical memoranda of tasks 1 through 6, with emphasis on summary of the detailed development of each project and its benefits, and present the projects in a prioritized ranking matrix based on the established criteria and benefit -cost score. A critical component of this document will be to detail project funding and phasing. Although positioning these projects for RESTORE Act funding will be an integral part of this plan, the document should serve as a roadmap for exploring other potential funding sources, and in identifying projects that may be candidates for specific funding programs. Phasing projects in a logical order such that projects can utilize maximum funding will also be accomplished. Deliverables • A stand -alone report for the Collier County Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan Document, summarizing all of the tasks of the contract. 5 Packet Page -1045- 7/7/2015 16.A.21.

This document will integrate the information developed for the technical memoranda of tasks 1 through 6, with emphasis on summary of the detailed development of each project and its benefits, and present the projects in a prioritized ranking matrix based on the established criteria and benefit -cost score. A critical component of this document will be to detail project funding and phasing. Although positioning these projects for RESTORE Act funding will be an integral part of this plan, the document should serve as a roadmap for exploring other potential funding sources, and in identifying projects that may be candidates for specific funding programs. Phasing projects in a logical order such that projects can utilize maximum funding will also be accomplished.
