Agenda 06/25/2019 Item #16C 5 (Public Utilities BA)06/25/2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize a budget amendment in the total amount of $1,226,900 to reallocate
Public Utilities Department water project funds to execute priority projects.
OBJECTIVE: To fund projects that will allow the Collier County Water-Sewer District (CCWSD) to
meet demand, stay in compliance, and serve customers efficiently by providing a compliant and reliable
potable water system to its customers.
CONSIDERATIONS: In FY2018, the Solid Waste Fund 474 borrowed $4 million from the Collier
County Water-Sewer District (CCWSD) Water User Fee Fund (412) to finance the Hurricane Irma debris
mission. In April 2019, The CCWSD received the $4 million reimbursement from FEMA and State of
Florida. The reimbursement was diverted to the I-75 & Collier Boulevard Utility Relocation project,
Project Number 70229, instead of being distributed back to existing projects.
At the time the FY2019 Budget was approved, the CCWSD had not received a timeline for the FDOT
project related to Project Number 70229, “I-75 & Collier Boulevard Utility Relocation,” and the proposed
scope of work for was not anticipated in the budget. Changing operational and governmental priorities
dictated the need for this project to be constructed after the approval of the budget.
A budget amendment is necessary to transfer existing funds within the Water User Fee Fund 412, to
execute the below priority water projects to continue to meet high -priority operational needs and address
the budget deficit.
• 70041 Water Lightning/Surge Protection & Grounding: Consists of improvements/replacements
to the lightning protection system on existing structures and building at the two Regional Water
Treatment Plants, re-pumping distribution stations and wellfields (Tamiami, North Reverse
Osmosis & South Reverse Osmosis). This project is being completed in phases. The second
phase to receive funding includes replacing the lightning protection on the Reverse Osmosis odor
control and degasifier units at the South County Regional Water Treatment Plant. ($170,000
budget amendment)
• 70085 Well/Raw Water Booster Station Operation Technical Support: The proposed well
treatment will provide needed rehabilitation of the existing wells, thereby increasing the water
pumping rate from each well to the North County Regional Water Treatment Plant (NCRWTP)
and South County Regional Water Treatment Plant (SCRWTP). Completing this well
rehabilitation will extend the useful life of these existing wells and well yield. There will be
improvements to the existing wellfields (Tamiami, North Reverse Osmosis & South Reverse
Osmosis) and Raw Water Booster Station. ($200,000 budget amendment)
• 70190 Northeast Recycling Center 16-inch Water Main / Fireline: The additional funds are
necessary to cover the unforeseen costs associated with the unsuccessful attempt to Jack & Bore
the water main under Immokalee Road. A 16-inch water main from Immokalee Road to the
Northeast Recycling Center along 39th Avenue will be constructed. ($56,900 budget amendment)
• 70222 Golden Gate City Compliance Assurance: Includes the replacement of the existing water
main on Sunshine Boulevard from 17th Avenue Southwest to Green Boulevard. The existing
water main will conflict with the proposed pedestrian bridge’s foundation being installed on

sidewalk being constructed. This project is being completed by the Growth Management

amendment)
The above projects will be procured separately in accordance with the County’s Procurement Ordinance.
