Agenda 06/11/2019 Item #16C12 (FGUA Payment & Hold Harmless Agreement)06/11/2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Payment and Hold Harmless Agreement between the Florida
Government Utility Authority and the Collier County Water-Sewer District for Irma related
disaster reimbursements received pursuant to the Federally Funded Subaward and Grant
Agreement (Contract Number: Z0644) wth the Florida Department of Emergency Management.
OBJECTIVE: To approve a Payment and Hold Harmless Agreement (Agreement) between the Florida
Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA) and the Collier County Water-Sewer District (CCWSD) for
Irma disaster reimbursements received by FGUA and transmitted to the CCWSD related to hurricane
damages to the Golden Gate Utility System (System).
CONSIDERATIONS: On November 14, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners (Board), agenda
item 9B, approved Resolution 2017-222 finding that acquisition of the System was in the public interest
pursuant to the Transition Agreement. The Board approved Resolution 2018-28 on February 27, 2018,
agenda item 16C6, authorizing the closing of the acquisition of the System owned by FGUA. The
acquisition was completed on March 1, 2018.
Prior to the acquisition date, Hurricane Irma caused damage to the System while FGUA was the System
owner. FGUA, as the applicant, entered into the Federally-Funded Subaward and Grant Agreement,
Contract Number: Z0644 with the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM). The transition
agreement transferred and assigned, and the CCWSD accepted, ownership and responsibilities pursuant to
all claims, including insurance and other weather-related claims existing on the date of the transfer.
FGUA submitted $230,164.67 in eligible disaster related costs relating to the System and has received
$7,354.37 in reimbursements to date out of $8,404.98 for FEMA Project Number 19311. FGUA intends
to begin the process of reimbursements to the CCWSD upon receipt of the signed Agreement. If at any
time it is determined that any or all of the Irma disaster cost reimbursements were incorrect or
unauthorized by the State of Florida, FDEM, FEMA or the Office of the Inspector General, the CCWSD
shall refund those amounts requested on FGUA’s behalf.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with approval of the agreement. Once the
agreement is approved by the Board and signed by the Chair, FGUA will begin the process of transferring
disaster related reimbursements to the Water-Sewer District Operating Fund (408). A summary of
requested reimbursements and amounts received to date is attached. An additional $221,759.69 in claims
are still pending.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
item.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote
for Board action. - JAB
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board, Ex-officio the Governing Board of the Collier County Water-
Sewer District, approve the attached Payment and Hold Harmless Agreement for Irma related disaster
reimbursements received by FGUA.
