Agenda 01/10/2012 Item #16C11/10/2012 Item 16.C.1.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to a) approve a Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement with the Florida
Department of Transportation; b) approve a Florida Department of Transportation standard form
resolution authorizing the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners to execute the
agreement; and, c) approve a Memorandum of Agreement with the Florida Department of
Transportation and Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Treasury to establish an
interest bearing escrow account.
OBJECTIVE: To minimize disruptions to water and wastewater services associated with the
timely construction of an important road improvement project.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is planning to widen
State Route 84 (Davis Boulevard) between Santa Barbara Boulevard and Radio Road. The
Collier County Water -Sewer District (CCWSD) has existing underground water and wastewater
facilities that will require relocation to accommodate the road widening project. The relocations
will be done by FDOT's highway contractor.
On April 26, 2011, Item 16.C.2., the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the
FDOT's standard Utility Work Agreement and Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement.
Subsequent to the Board's approval of the two agreements, FDOT changed how the payment of
funds is required and a section of the project's design. Due to the changes, FDOT never
approved and executed the Board approved agreements. FDOT now only requires an updated
version of the Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement and Resolution as well as a
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the payment of funds.
The MOA will be between the CCWSD, the FDOT, and the State of Florida, Department of
Financial Services, Division of Treasury. The MOA will establish an interest - bearing escrow
account with the funds that the CCWSD agrees to deposit as part of the updated Utility Work by
Highway Contractor Agreement. The MOA was revised from its standard format, with
coordination of the County Attorney's Office and the Clerk of Courts' Finance Department, to
include that all pay applications be reviewed by the Collier County Clerk of Courts' Finance
Department before payment is made from the escrow account.
The Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement is an agreement to have FDOT's highway
contractor perform the utility relocates for the CCWSD, and allows the CCWSD to elect to have
the utility work removed from the contract if the bid exceeds the estimate by more than ten
percent. Incorporated into the Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement is a revision of
the construction cost estimate which changed from $512,000 to $549,920 due to the FDOT
driven design change requiring relocation of an additional force main.
The attached standard form Resolution, if approved, will authorize the Chairman of the Board to
execute the requisite Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement. FDOT does not require a
Resolution for the MOA. Construction on the road widening project is anticipated to begin in
April 2012.

FISCAL IMPACT: Estimated construction cost is $249,456 for water facilities, and $300,464 for
wastewater facilities (combined total of $549,920). Water user fee funds (Fund 412) in the
amount of $249,456 are available in project 70045 for the relocation of water lines. Wastewater
user fee funds (Fund 414) in the amount of $300,464 are available in project 73045 for the
relocation of wastewater lines.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Section 337.403(1), Florida Statutes provides that:
Any utility heretofore or hereafter placed upon, under, over, or along any public road
or publicly owned rail corridor that is found by the authority to be unreasonably
interfering in any way with the convenient, safe, or continuous use, or the maintenance,
improvement, extension, or expansion, of such public road or publicly owned rail
corridor shall, upon 30 days' written notice to the utility or its agent by the authority,
be removed or relocated by such utility at its own expense except as provided in
paragraphs (a) -(f). (Emphasis Added.)
The limited exceptions in paragraphs (a) -(f) do not apply in this instance. This item is legally
sufficient for Board action and requires a majority vote. -JBW
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This project is consistent with and will further the Goals,
Objectives, and Policies of the Collier County Growth Management Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners, as Ex- officio the Governing
Board of the Collier County Water -Sewer District, approve:
1. a Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement (UWHCA) with the Florida
Department of Transportation;
2. a Florida Department of Transportation standard form Resolution authorizing the
Chairman to execute the UWHCA; and,
3. a Memorandum of Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation and the
Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Treasury.

d. Payment of the funds pursuant to this paragraph will be made (choose one):
❑ directly to the FDOT for deposit into the State Transportation Trust Fund
® as provided in the attached Memorandum of Agreement between UAO, FDOT and the
State of Florida, Department of Financial Services, Division of Treasury. Deposits of less
than $100,000.00 must be pre- approved by the Department of Financial Services and
FDOT Comptroller's Office prior to execution of this agreement.
e. If the portion of the contractor's bid selected by the FDOTfor performance of the Utility Work exceeds
the amount of the deposit made pursuant to Subparagraph c. above, then subject to and in
accordance with the limitations and conditions established by Subparagraph 2. c. hereof regarding
FDOT participation in the cost of the Utility Work and the UAO's election to remove the Utility Work
from the Project, the UAO shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days from notification from the FDOT or
prior to posting of the accepted bid, whichever is earlier, pay an additional amount to the FDOT to
bring the total amount paid to the total obligation of the UAO for the cost of the Utility Work, plus
Allowances and 10% Contingency Fund. The FDOT will notify the UAO as soon as it becomes
apparent the accepted bid amount plus allowances and contingency is in excess of the advance
deposit amount; however, failure of the FDOT to so notify the UAO shall not relieve the UAO from its
obligation to pay for its full share of project costs on final accounting as provided herein below. In the
event that the UAO is obligated under this Subparagraph 3.e. to pay an additional amount and the
additional amount that the UAO is obligated to pay does not exceed the Contingency Fund already on
deposit, the UAO shall have sixty (60) calendar days from notification from the FDOT to pay the
additional amount, regardless of when the accepted bid is posted.
f. If the accepted bid amount plus allowances and contingency is less than the advance deposit amount,
the FDOT will refund the amount that the advance deposit exceeds the bid amount, plus allowances
and contingency if such refund is requested by the UAO in writing and approved by the Comptroller of
the FDOT or his designee.
Should contract modifications occur that increase the UAO's share of total project costs, the UAO will
be notified by the FDOT accordingly. The UAO agrees to provide, in advance of the additional work
being performed, adequate funds to ensure that cash on deposit with the FDOT is sufficient to fully
fund its share of the project costs. The FDOT shall notify the UAO as soon as it becomes apparent
the actual costs will overrun the award amount; however, failure of the FDOT to so notify the UAO
shall not relieve the UAO from its obligation to pay for its full share of project costs on final accounting
as provided herein below.
The FDOT may use the funds paid by the UAO for payment of the cost of the Utility Work. The
Contingency Fund may be used for increases in the cost of the Utility Work which occur because of
quantity overruns or because of adjustments or changes in the Utility Work made pursuant to
Subparagraph 2. h. Prior to using any of the Contingency Fund, the FDOT will obtain the written
concurrence of the person delegated that responsibility by written notice from the UAO. The
delegatee shall respond immediately to all requests for written concurrence. If the delegatee refuses
to provide written concurrence promptly and the FDOT determines that the work is necessary, the
FDOT may proceed to perform the work and recover the cost thereof pursuant to the provisions of
Section 337.403(3), Florida Statutes. In the event that the Contingency Fund is depleted, the UAO
shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days from notification from the FDOT, pay to the FDOT an
additional 10% of the total obligation of the UAO for the cost of the Utility Work established under
Subparagraph 3. e. for future use as the Contingency Fund.
Upon final payment to the Contractor, the FDOT intends to have its final and complete accounting of
all costs incurred in connection with the work performed hereunder within three hundred sixty (360)
days. All project cost records and accounts shall be subject to audit by a representative of the UAO
for a period of three (3) years after final close out of the Project. The UAO will be notified of the final

cost. Both parties agree that in the event the final accounting of total project costs pursuant to the
terms of this agreement is less than the total deposits to date, a refund of the excess will be made by
the FDOT to the UAO in accordance with Section 215.422, Florida Statutes. In the event said final
accounting of total project costs is greater than the total deposits to date, the UAO will pay the
additional amount within forty (40) calendar days from the date of the invoice. The UAO agrees to
pay interest at a rate as established pursuant to Section 55.03, Florida Statutes, on any invoice not
paid within the time specked in the preceding sentence until the invoice is paid.
4. Claims Against LIAO
a. The UAO shall be responsible for all costs incurred as a result of any delay to the FDOT or its
contractors caused by errors or omissions in the Plans Package (including inaccurate location of the
Facilities) or by failure of the UAO to properly perform its obligations under this Agreement in a timely
manner.
b. In the event the FDOT's contractor provides a notice of intent to make a claim against the FDOT
relating to the Utility Work, the FDOT will notify the LIAO of the notice of intent and the UAO will
thereafter keep and maintain daily field reports and all other records relating to the intended claim.
C. In the event the FDOT's contractor makes any claim against the FDOT relating to the Utility Work, the
FDOT will notify the LIAO of the claim and the UAO will cooperate with the FDOT in analyzing and
resolving the claim within a reasonable time. Any resolution of any portion of the claim directly
between the UAO and the FDOT's contractor shall be in writing, shall be subject to written FDOT
concurrence and shall specify the extent to which it resolves the claim against the FDOT.

continuing satisfactory performance of the conditions of this Agreement by the UAO. In the event of a
breach of this Agreement by the UAO, the Facilities shall be removed upon demand from the FDOT in
accordance with the provisions of Subparagraph e. below.
C. The UAO shall take such steps to secure the Facilities and otherwise make the Facilities safe in
accordance with any and all applicable local, state or federal laws and regulations and in accordance
with the legal duty of the UAO to use due care in its dealings with others. The UAO shall be solely
responsible for gathering all information necessary to meet these obligations.
d. The UAO shall keep and preserve all records relating to the Facilities, including, but not limited to,
records of the location, nature of, and steps taken to safely secure the Facilities and shall promptly
respond to information requests of the FDOT or other permittees using or seeking use of the right of
way.
e. The UAO shall remove the Facilities at the request of the FDOT in the event that the FDOT
determines that removal is necessary for FDOT use of the right of way or in the event that the FDOT
determines that use of the right of way is needed for other active utilities that cannot be otherwise
accommodated in the right of way. Removal shall be at the sole cost and expense of the LIAO and

without any right of the UAO to object or make any claim of any nature whatsoever with regard
thereto. Removal shall be completed within the time specified in the FDOT's notice to remove. In the
event that the UAO fails to perform the removal properly within the specified time, the FDOT may
proceed to perform the removal at the UAO's expense pursuant to the provisions of Sections 337.403
and 337.404, Florida Statutes.

forever remain the legal and financial responsibility of the UAO. The UAO shall reimburse the FDOT
for any and all costs of any nature whatsoever resulting from the presence of the Facilities within the
right of way. Said costs shall include, but shall not be limited to, charges or expenses which may
result from the future need to remove the Facilities or from the presence of any hazardous substance
or material in or discharging from the Facilities. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted to
require the UAO to indemnify the FDOT for the FDOT's own negligence; however, it is the intent that
all other costs and expenses of any nature be the responsibility of the UAO.
6. Default
a. In the event that the UAO breaches any provision of this Agreement, then in addition to any other
remedies which are otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the FDOT may exercise one or more of
the following options, provided that at no time shall the FDOT be entitled to receive double recovery of

agreements between the parties nor from any statutory obligations that either party may have with regard
to the subject matter hereof.
7. Force Majeure
Neither the UAO nor the FDOT shall be liable to the other for any failure to perform under this Agreement to

8. Indemnification
FOR GOVERNMENT -OWNED UTILITIES,
To the extent provided by law, the UAO shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the FDOT and all of its
officers, agents, and employees from any claim, loss, damage, cost, charge, or expense arising out of any
acts, action, error, neglect, or omission by the UAO, its agents, employees, or contractors during the
performance of the Agreement, whether direct or indirect, and whether to any person or property to which
FDOT or said parties may be subject, except that neither the UAO, its agents, employees, or contractors will
be liable under this section for damages arising out of the injury or damage to persons or property directly
caused by or resulting from the negligence of the FDOT or any of its officers, agents, or employees during the
performance of this Agreement.
When the FDOT receives a notice of claim for damages that may have been caused by the UAO in the
performance of services required under this Agreement, the FDOT will immediately forward the claim to the
UAO. The UAO and the FDOT will evaluate the claim and report their findings to each other within'fourteen
(14) working days and will jointly discuss options in defending the claim. After reviewing the claim, the FDOT
will determine whether to require the participation of the UAO in the defense of the claim or to require the
UAO to defend the FDOT in such claim as described in this section. The FDOT's failure to notify the UAO of
a claim shall not release the UAO from any of the requirements of this section. The FDOT and the UAO will
pay their own costs for the evaluation, settlement negotiations, and trial, if any. However, if only one party
participates in the defense of the claim at trial, that party is responsible for all costs.
FOR NON - GOVERNMENT -OWNED UTILITIES,
The UAO shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the FDOT and all of its officers, agents, and employees
from any claim, loss, damage, cost, charge, or expense arising out of any acts, action, error, neglect, or
omission by the UAO, its agents, employees, or contractors during the performance of the Agreement,
whether direct or indirect, and whether to any person or property to which FDOT or said parties may be
subject, except that neither the UAO, its agents, employees, or contractors will be liable under this section for
damages arising out of the injury or damage to persons or property directly caused by or resulting from the
negligence of the FDOT or any of its officers, agents, or employees during the performance of this Agreement.
The UAO's obligation to indemnify, defend, and pay for the defense or at the FDOT's option, to participate
and associate with the FDOT in the defense and trial of any damage claim or suit and any related settlement
negotiations, shall arise within fourteen (14) days of receipt by the UAO of the FDOT's notice of claim for
indemnification to the UAO. The notice of claim for indemnification shall be served by certified mail. The
UAO's obligation to defend and indemnify within fourteen (14) days of such notice shall not be excused
because of the UAO's inability to evaluate liability or because the UAO evaluates liability and determines the
UAO is not liable or determines the FDOT is solely negligent. Only a final adjudication of judgment finding the
FDOT solely negligent shall excuse performance of this provision by the UAO. The UAO shall pay all costs
