. 93 vendors purchased bid packages with 6 proposals received on January 5,
2011.
. 2 vendors were deemed non responsive due to a lack of completing a
questionnaire leaving 4 bids for evaluation,
. After evaluation, Southwind Construction Corp, was chosen as the "most
qualified and responsive bidder," however their bid ($836,092, I 0) was
over the budgeted amount of $750,000,
. Subsequent to the project being released tor bidding, the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection reduced the standards for the
required Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU's).
. Staff requested Southwind Construction Corp. to review their bid to see if
they would adjust it to meet thc amount budgeted by the County,
. Southwind Construction Corp. adjusted the bid for the project to an amount
of $750,000.
. Staff is requesting the CAC recommend the Board of County
Commissioners approve the contract
Chairman Sorey asked if the awarding the bid to Southwind Construction Corp.
is in accordance with county purchasing policies (with respect to specification
changes for the allowable NTlJ's after the bids were received).
Scott Johnson, Collier County Purchasing Department stated the decision to
award the project to Southwind Construction Corp, was within purchasing policy
requirements, The policy allows the County In re-negotiate the bid price with the
"most qualified and responsive bidder,"
Mr. Pires noted a Southwind Construction Corp. letter dated January 7, 20 II
stated they reduced their bid due to a change in specifications for the proposed
work, !-Ie questioned if County purchasing policies allow the vcndor to adjust the
bid for the proposed work after a change in specifications, without other vendors
having the opportunity to re-bid,
Mr. Johnson notcd County purchasing policies provide for this procedure, In
addition, prior to the identifying the most qualified and responsive bidder, the bids
were competitive as the bidders utilized the same set of specifications,
Mr. Pires noted County policy does not specifically provide f()f this procedure.
Mr. Johnson agreed, however it is "inherent" in the policy.
Mr. Hendel noted County purchasing staff has stated awarding the contract to
Southwind Construction Corp, is in accordancc with County purchasing policies.
Mr. Hendel moved to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners
approve the contract for South wind Construction Corp. for the proposed
Wiggins Pass Maintenance Dredging at a unit price not to exceed contract total
of $ 750,000. Second by Mr. Rios.
Mr. Moreland noted the pass is unsafe for navigation at this time. This is having
a negative impact on real estate values and business operations within the area.

4. Clam Bay Navigational Markers
Gary McAlpin presentcd the Executive Summary "Update the Coastal Advisory
Commillee on regulatOlyfindings and agene)! requirements and seek a
recommendation on how to proceed with the permitting and installation of the
proposed Clam Bay navigational markers" dated January 13,20 II,
He noted:
. On June n, 2009, the BCC directed staff to proceed with permitting and
installing navigational markers in Clam Bay.
. The installation of the markers would bring the County into compliance
with a previously issued 1998 US i\rmy Corps of Engineers (USACE) for
work in Clam Bay
. Installation of the markers requires permitting from the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection, US Coast Guard and Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission (rWC),
. The FDEP permit has not been issued, and in September of 20 1 0 the
USCG permit issued I(lr the markers expired and the USCG notitied staffa
new permit would he required,
. The application !(lr a new USCG permit will require completion of an
Environmental Impact Statement (ElS) or Environmental Assessment at a
cost of approximately $40,000,
. To develop the FIS, staff will need the BCC to direct staff to move forward
and approve a hudget t()!' the scope of work,
. Iflhc County chooses not move f()rward, they will petition the LJSACE to
"close the permit" as the County has acted in "good faith" to comply with
the permit conditions,
. Staff believes the USACE will accept the request to "close out the permit"
. Staff suggests, if the 13CC chooses not to move t()rward with the marking
of the channel with navigat;onalmarkers, all stakeholders involved
(Pelican l3ay Services Division, Pelican Bay Foundation, Collier County,
Seagate Residents, City ofNap1cs, etc.) determine the most appropriate
means to mark the System to ensure safe navigation and prevent
environmental damage.
. Staff is seeking direction jfom the CAC on how to proceed,
Speakers
Marcia Cravens read an cmail into the record that she submitted to the members
of the CAe. She recommended there he no further expenditures of public funds

for the installation of the red and green "navigational markers," She supports the
installation of "informational and regulatory markers" as the system has been
marked in this manner previously, however the markers are in disrepair, She
provided samples of "informational and regulatory markers" that may be utilized
in the system,
Doug Finlay noted the Seagate community was established in 1958 as a boating
community with access to the Gulf of Mexico, The waters north and south ofthe
"Pass" should be marked differently based on the various uses within these areas
(swimmer, boater conflicts, vs, canoeists, etc,) He supports the concept of the
stakeholders determining the appropriate marking of the system.
Keith Dallas recommended the County not continue to pursue the marking of the
channel with the red and green navigation markers,
Ted Raia noted his conversations with the USACE indicate the informational
markers are an acceptable form of marking the system to meet the permit
requirements. He supports the concept of the stakeholders determining the
appropriate means to mark the system. He submitted various documents for
consideration by the committee,
Sarah Wu, Seagate resideut noted the original permit states the main channel of
the system will be marked in accordance of the requirements of the USCG, She
expressed concern that the County failed to mark the channel with USCG
approved markers. It is important to mark the channel safely and questions how it
can be marked for navigation without utilizing USCG approved "navigation
markers." She supports the concept of marking the channel for safe navigation
and preventing environmental damage,
Steve Feldhaus, Secretary, Pelicau Bay Fouudation urges the committee
endorse the concept of the stakeholders determining the appropriate means to
mark the system,
Mr. Rios moved to recommend staff not to move forward with permitting the
"red and green navigational markers." In addition, supports the ,,'tuff
recommendation of the stakeholders expeditiously determining the appropriate
means to mark the Clam Bay System to ensure safe navigation and prevent
environmental damage to the area. Second by Mr. Hendel. Carried
unanimously 9 - O.
2. Naples Berm Restoration - Contract #11-5637
Gary McAlpin presented the Executive Summary "Recommendation to approve

He noted:
. In May 01'20 I 0, the BCC authorized $ L5M to complete the scope of work
including approving an "emergency resolution" in an effort to temporarily
stabilize an area south of Doctors Pass,
. In June/July of2010, work was undertaken to temporarily stabilize the area
south of Doctors Pass with the understanding the remaining work would be
completed at a later date.
. Under the current scope of work proposed, the first area slated for re-
nourishment is south of Doctors Pass fronting Indies West, Gulf View, Le
Chateau and Royal Palm condominiums,
. Staff continues to work with Le Chateau condominiums to obtain an
easement 10 renourish the area controlled by them,
. If staff cannot reach an agreement, only the area seaward of the Erosion
Control Line will be renourished in this area,
. This will create a -4 fc)ot grade change in the area and compromise the
stability of the beach renourishmcnt.
. An "alternate bid package" is for the renourishment of an area just south of
Seagate Drive in the area of the Meridian and Le Parc condominiums.
. In addition, it has come to staffs attention, an area further south of these
condominiums is severely eroded,
. Staff is reevaluating how to deal with the area identified in the "alternate
bid package" given the new information,
. rhe options include delaying renourishment proposed in the "alternate bid
package" until a solution is developed for the areas further south (in front
of the Vistas and the Terraces); or to renourish the area as planned and
allow the sand to migrate to the south to help "naturally" stabilize the
beach in this area
. He requested direction from the committee on how to proceed with the
"altcrnate hid package" and seeks approval of the proposed contract.
Mr. Hendel agreed the area south of Sea gate Drive in front of the Terraces and
Vistas is heavily eroded to the point no hcach exists, He recommends adding the
Vistas and the Terraces to the scope of work.
Chairman Sorey expressed concern immediately adding these areas to the scope
of work, It will be difficult given the status of the permits,
He recommended moving forward with the proposed scope of work and
modifying the existing permits (ifpossihlc.)
Gary McAlpin noted no upland structures in this area are in danger of
undermine. Given this fact, immediately modifying the existing permit will be
very difficulL
Mr. !'ires noted the owners of La Chateau may be concerned with the concept of
allowing public access when public funds are expended on private property for
heach renourishmenL lie recommended staff investigate the concept of the

condominium owners funding the renourishment in the area encompassed by
private property in lieu of them granting public access easements.
Mr. Hendel moved for staff to move forward with the original scope of work for
the area south of Doctors Pass, the "alternate bid package" scope of work for
the area south of Seagate Drive, and for staff to move expeditiously to modifY
the permit to add the beaches in the area of the Vistas and Terraces to the scope
of work, Second by Mr. Pires.
Speaker
Jane Earle, Le Parc Resident noted the beach is in a severe state of erosion in
this area and supports the motion.
Doug Finlay, City of Naples noted the area just south of the Horizon Way beach
access is also severely eroded, He expressed concern that the current 10 year
renourishment cycle is inadequate and the County should consider utilizing an 8
year cycle with a focus on long tenn solutions to the "erosion hot spots."
Mr. Pires requested clarification on the status of the easements currently in place,
Gary McAlpin noted the current easements in place are to repair the damaged
areas including staging construction equipment, not easements for public access.
Staff continues to pursue the public access easements.
Mr. Moreland noted the Barefoot Beach area is severely eroded as well and
recommended the committee tour the area and consider it for renourishment
Carried unanimously 9-0.
Mr. Pires moved to recommend the Board of County Commissioners declare
and emergency situation for the beaches in the area of the Vistas and Terraces.
Second by Mr. Hendel. Carried unanimously 9 - O.
Gary McAlpin noted this area will require an engineering study, The BCC will
need to find the Vistas and Terraces structures are in "imminent danger" and
declare an emergency to waive purchasing policies, etc. He is concerned on the
timing for completing the additional scope of work due to Turtle Nesting Season
upcoming in May,
3. Doctors Pass North Jetty Rehabilitation - Contract 11-5634

recommendation, Joe Swaja seconded and the group unanimously approved.

regarding the fire impact fees. Janet Vasey said that the methodolo~as not

changed and made a recommendation to accept the study results, the
methodology and fuel implementation as recommended. Joe Swaja motioned to
accept Janet's recommendation, Jim Hoppensteadt seconded and the group
unanimously approved.
Impact Fee Indexing and Transportation CosUCredit Update: Amy Patterson
reviewed the reports with the group and passed out information to all members.
Norman told the group that the biggest issue he is having is in maintaining roads
because he can't use impact fees for maintenance. He also said that most of the
bridges in Collier County are nearing 50 years old, and some are in need of
some critical work.
The results of their discussion are as follows:
With respect to the indexing for Correctional Facilities, Community Parks and
Regional Parks - Jim Hoppensteadt recommended to follow staff's charge to
maintain cu rre nt Correctional Facilities Impact Fee rates rather than
implementing an increase, and to implement the calculated reduction of 4.7% to
the Community Parks Impact Fee rates and 11.9% to the Regional Parks Impact
Fee rates. Brad Boaz seconded, the group voted 7-1 (Doug Fee opposed).
Regarding the Transportation Impact Fee Cost and Credit Update, the
Committee recommended that the Board direct that Tindale-Oliver and
Associates evaluate an appropriate change to the current single-family average
trip length component used to calculate the fee, which is currently 64% of the
model trip length. Joe Swaja motioned that the committee recommend a
percentage increase from the 64% utilized up to a maximum of 80%, based on
the findings of the analysis. This analysis is to be completed prior to the
completion of the Utility Impact Fee/rate study and implementation of the related
reductions to the Transportation Impact Fee rates. Jim Hoppensteadt seconded
and the group voted 7-1 (with Doug Fee opposed).
Joe Swaja also motioned that the committee further recommend that an
expanded review of Trip Length and Capacity Added be completed for use in the
next Transportation Impact Fee Update. Jim Hoppensteadt seconded the motion
and the group voted 7-1 (with Doug Fee opposed).
NEW BUSINESS:
Discussion Regarding Impact Fee Comparisons and Economic Incentives:
Steve Harrison addressed the group regarding economic incentives. He said
that it seems like other counties have more incentives to attract industry. Janet
said that she and Crystal Kinzel are on a committee that is looking at that issue.
There are many subcommittees that divide and meet together about every 6
weeks. Commissioner Halas said that he will suggest to the Board of County

County Commentary: Commissioner Halas passed out a commentary that he
composed regarding the county and what is happening in the community. He
asked the committee members to read it and e-mail him with their comments.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Library Impact Fee Review: John Kerns gave the group a recap of what he
learned at the sub-committee meeting. The main factors in the calculations are
the land cost (whether it is east or west of 175) and whether the land is residential
or commercial. He also noted that the last full study was done in 2006, using
data from 2005.
Using the current figures, Steve Tindale is recommending that the county make a
substantial cut in library impact fees, close to a 50% reduction. John Kerns
motioned to accept the recommendations of the consultants, Joe Swaja
seconded and the group unanimously approved.
Steve Harrison asked if it was possible for each department to provide to the
group the cost per unit of service.
Government Buildings Review: Steve Tindale went over the government
building reviews. Janet asked if there was a difference in the way that fees were
calculated for land costs. She said it seemed inconsistent between East Naples
and Corkscrew versus Eat Naples and North Naples. Nilgun Camp said that the
difference is that EMS and Law Enforcement is mostly commercial property and
government buildings have a combination of residential and commercial.
Because of the questions, Steve will rework the numbers and bring this issue
back to the committee at the next meeting. Doug Fee motioned that the
committee allow Steve to refigure his calculations and bring the new information
to the next meeting. Janet Vasey seconded that motion and the group
unanimously approved.
Law Enforcement Reviews: Steve Tindale went through the slide presentation
and noted that there was a change from measuring from "per officer" to "per
square foot". In addition, the value of the equipment increased in value and the
annual debt service payments declined. Janet Vasey motioned to accept the law
enforcement fee as stated and Joe Swaja seconded. The group unanimously
approved.
Amy Patterson was asked to add Sarasota and Palm Beach Counties to the fees
chart, then send the update to Mike and he will send it out to the group.
Roads Update: Amy gave the group a fast update on roads stating that the
Board put a 32% decrease into effect on October 8th There will be a second
adjustment sometime in January of 10% for the utility relocate. She also added
that trip length and capacity added will be put into the next full study.

Update on County E-Mail Accounts: Andie Gonzalez from IT addressed the
group and passed out information regarding each members county e-mail
account. The number to call if you have any questions is 252-8828. She

as possible for security reasons. Jim Gibson said that he appreciated the county
giving them e-mail in order to help them if there are any public records requests.
NEW BUSINESS:
Discussion Regarding Functions of the Productivity Committee and the
Board's Discussion on September 28, 2010: Mike Sheffield passed out a
copy of the governing ordinance of the Productivity Committee and a transcript of
Commissioner Halas's suggestion from the last meeting. Steve Harrison stated
that it looked like the committee was primarily budget related, then asked to other
things as well.
Janet Vasey asked that Commissioner Halas tell the Board that the committee
did not go rogue and that the committee has always been asked to look at
budget things and has always been asked to look at impact fees. The committee
has always been lead by the Board or the Board has approved everything they
have done. Commissioner Halas said that the Board welcomes the eyes of the
committee.
County E-Mail: Barry Axelrod told the committee members that e-mail accounts
were being set-up for each of them. Mike Sheffield stated that when activated,
the new email accounts must be used for all advisory committee related emailing.
Committee Member/Staff Comments:
Doug Fee asked about attending the meetings of the Economic Task Force
because another member was on the task force. Mike Sheffield suggested that
he contact the County Attorney's Office for clarification on this matter.
Commissioner Halas invited the group to his retirement party on November 1 ih
from 2:00 until 4:00 to be held at the Collier County Museum. He said that it has
been an honor to serve the citizens of Collier and thanked everyone for their
dedication to the county.

with the user and impact fee results. She also said that Tom gave them all the
necessary narratives and analysis to be able to follow the study through to the
final numbers. She said that she felt due diligence had been done. She asked

Impact Fee Monthly Report: Amy Patterson passed out several reports and
asked the group for their input on what they wanted to see in the reports. The
group asked her to return once a quarter to give updates. Steve Harrison
suggested that she look at the run-off balances once the census numbers come

Proposed Budget Policy: Mark Isackson told the group that the taxable values
published by the state are higher than expected. Taxable values will decrease
by 3% and guidance given to the divisions will take that fact into consideration.
The County Manager will be asking for a 3% budget reduction for the upcoming
fiscal year. He stated that he would like to grow the general fund reserves in FY
12 because they need cash to cover the first three months of the year before tax
dollars come in. He also said that there are some unfunded mandates coming
from the state that need to be watched closely. He told the group that the Office
of Management and Budget is urging all departments to be as fiscally
conservative as possible and asked for ideas from the committee to help in that
goal. Joe Swaja and Brad Boaz agreed with Mark that the County needs to stay
conservative. Steve Harrison suggested that all constitutionals look at the co-
payments for insurance and everyone come together and offer their employees
the same rate.
Mark asked the group to review the Budget Policy for their recommendation at
the next meeting. He said he would send it to the members before the meeting.
Joe Swaja motioned that Steve Harrison put a memo together with the
suggestion that the committee look at the Blue ribbon Committee, Organization
and pay scale of the fire districts and what other counties are offering as far as
incentives go and bring it to the meeting on February 16 for further discussion.
Workplan FY 12: Commissioner Coletta will ask the Board for direction for the
committee and if they would like to include doing a value analysis regarding the
costs of all the fire districts into their work plan for this year. Steve Harrison will
email a draft work plan to Mike Sheffield for discussion at the next meeting.
