EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation for the Board of County Commissioners to approve all necessary budget
amendments and authorize the Chairman to sign a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC), Florida Boating Improvement Program (FBIP) Grant Agreement Contract
No. 08064 for a Recreational Boating Characterization Study to the Coastal Zone Management
Department that will provide grant funds in the amount of $80,000.
OBJECTIVE: To secure a $80,000 Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission/Florida Boating
Improvement grant which would fund a Recreational Boating Characterization Study.
CONSIDERATIONS: A boater characterization study in Collier County would have several practical
applications for future management decisions and would help address several boating issues. These
include;
1. Potential location of boating access points
2. Identification of boating access hot spots
3. Establishing resource protection measures
4. Identifying potential user conflicts
5. Developing education programs
Data collected will assist resource managers and educators to develop new programs and/or enhance
existing ones that will help provide solutions for boating issues identified in the study. This can
include assessing current management efforts, implementing future management plans, and/or focusing
extension efforts and developing products to enhance boating experiences and promote stewardship.
...-
FISCAL IMPACT: A budget amendment is required to recognize grant revenue totaling $80,000 and
set up the corresponding expense appropriation within Natural Resources Grant Fund (117). This
grant requires a $10,000 local match which is funded within Coastal Zone Management Fund (111).
This budgeted match will be transferred to the appropriate project designation within Natural
Resources Grant Fund (117).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The Boater Characterization Study supports Objective 7.4
of County Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The County Attorney's Office has reviewed this item. It is legally
sufficient for Board action. - CMG
RECOMMENDA TION: Recommendation for the Board of County Commissioners to approve all
neccassary budget admendments and authorize the Chairman to sign a Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC), Florida Boating Improvement Program (FBIP) Grant Agreement

SCOPE OF WORK
Recreational Boating Characterization Study
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this project is to complete a comprehensive characterization study of recreational boating
on the coastal waters of Collier County. This study will describe boating habits, travel patterns, and
preferences for using local waterways and infrastructure.
Boaters using local boat ramps and marinas will be identified during field inventories and surveyed using
questionnaires that will be mailed in three seasonal waves. Responses from returned questionnaires will
be tabulated into a geographic information system database; and, the results will be turned into maps that
can be compared with maps of waterways, infrastructure, natural resources and management zones.
Data analysis will produce the following management oriented products and maps: 1) Boater
characterizations by type of boating group; 2) analysis of perceived detractors and needs, 3) analysis of
perceived areas of boating congestion, 4) analysis of preferred boating destinations and activities, 5)
maps of on-the-water boat traffic patterns by season, type of boat, type of boater, and type of access
facility; 6) landside service area analysis for access facilities, 7) relative boat ramp use comparison over
the course of the study year. The information resulting from this project could be integrated into county
planning efforts such as updates of the manatee protection plan.
TASKS
The GRANTEE shall be responsible for completion of the following tasks:
Task 1 -Identify recreational boaters who use boatinQ access facilities in Collier County
The identification of owners (names and mailing addresses) who keep their vessels at marina wet slips,
dry storage facilities, at docks behind their waterfront homes, or who use a public boat ramp. This
element will involve an inventory of vessels and the following tasks;
A An inventory of vessels berthed in marina wet slips. This will involve the identification of (a) slip and
dry storage capacities, (b) the numbers and types of vessels kept at marinas and dry storage
facilities, and (c) bow numbers, or the name and hailing port from vessels kept at marinas and dry
storage facilities. Bow numbers will be compared to vessel registration information to identify the
names and mailing addresses of marina wet slip and dry storage patrons. Mailing addresses will be
geocoded to map where boaters live relative to the marinas that they use.
B. The identification of automobiles and trailers observed at prominent public boat ramps throughout the
County, on sample days, over a one-year period. Automobile tag and vessel trailer tag data will be
collected and compared to registration data to (a) generate seasonal use profiles for specific boat
ramps, and (b) identify the names and mailing addresses of ramp users. Mailing addresses will be
geocoded to identify general service areas for public boat ramps.
C. The identification of single-family and multi-family waterfront residences that contain docks. Parcel
ownership information (names and mailing addresses) will be compared with vessel registration
ownership information to distinguish those waterfront parcels that are also associated with a boat.
Task 2 - Conduct research surveys
Implement three waves of mail surveys distributed throughout the course of one year to characterize
seasonal use patterns. Names and mailing addresses obtained from element 1 will be used to mail a
map-based mail survey to marina, ramp and residential dock patrons.

A. The survey instrument to be developed for this study will be a two-sided, 22 X 34 inch questionnaire
that folds to 8 Y2 X 11 inches. The questionnaire will allow survey recipients to mark on a map the
waterway access site, travel routes, favorite destinations, and activities associated with their last two
pleasure boating trips. The reverse side will consist of 25 questions divided into the following topical
areas:
1. Description of last two pleasure boating trips (timing, frequency, duration of trips),
2. Description of vessels and access facilities used,
3. Description of the survey respondent, and
4. Open questions to identify perceived problems and needs.
Task 3 - Process data from the returned surveys into a oeographic information system (GIS)
A. Spatial information will be digitized 'on-screen' using a 1 :24,000 scale shoreline, Digital
Orthophotograph Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQ) imagery, and the positions of marinas, ramps,
navigation aids, and artificial reefs, as background themes, to enhance the accuracy of digitized data.
The database structure will allow information from survey questions to be 'linked' to digitized spatial
information by the use of the survey control number (ID), which uniquely identifies spatial and
attribute information provided by each survey respondent. The product of this element will be a
series of spatial data sets that identify (a) the home location of the boater, (b) the recreational trip
departure site, (c) favorite trip destinations, (d) intervening travel routes, and (d) perceived areas of
congestion.
S. Trip departure sites and congested spots will be digitized as point features with each record coded
with the survey control number and the trip number (Le., first or second trip).
C. Favorite destinations will be digitized as point features and coded with the survey control number, the
trip number (Le., first or second trip), and the activities that a respondent engaged in at each favorite
destination.
D. Travel routes will be digitized as line features and coded with survey control number, trip number
(Le., first or second trip), round trip (or one way); if round trip, then the same route out and back, and
whether or not the trip extended beyond the study area.
Task 4 - Statistical analysis of survey auestions
This task will include the following analyses:
A. Boater group characteristics: An analysis of vessel and boater profiles, rationale for selecting
departure sites and travel routes, activities conducted, and perceived congestion.
B. Seasonal boating characteristics: An analysis to define boating seasons, number of trips taken, trip
departure times, trip duration, weekday versus weekend trips, and boating activities.
C. The categorization and ranking of perceived detractors and needs. A content analysis of open-ended
questions that ask boaters to identify what detracts most from their recreational boating experience
and what is most needed to improve their recreational boating experience.
Task 5 - Spatial analysis of boatino patterns
GIS functionality will be used to generate density maps of trip features (e.g., routes, destinations,
congested areas). In addition, seasonal differences in trip patterns will be evaluated and mapped
consistent with prior reports for Tampa Bay, Sarasota County, Charlotte Harbor and Brevard County.
Task 6 - Print and distribute report
A. Submit draft report to COMMISSION for review
B. Upon approval from COMMISSION, print 35 copies of the final report to distribute upon request

Voucher Processing Handbook (10/07/97)
Cost Reimbursement Contracts
Invoices for cost reimbursement contracts must be supported by an itemized listing of expenditures by category
(salary, travel, expenses, etc.) Supporting documentation must be provided for each amount for which
reimbursement is being claimed indicating that the item has been paid. Check numbers may be provided in lieu
of copies of actual checks. Each piece of documentation should clearly reflect the dates of service. Only
expenditures for categories in the approved contract budget should be reimbursed.
Listed below are examples of types of documentation representing the minimum requirements:
(1) Salaries:
A payroll register or similar documentation should be submitted. The payroll register
should show gross salary charges, fringe benefits, other deductions and net pay. If an
individual for whom reimbursement is being claimed is paid by the hour, a document
reflecting the hours worked times the rate of pay will be acceptable.
(2) Fringe Benefits:
Fringe Benefits should be supported by invoices showing the amount paid on behalf of
the employee (e.g., insurance premiums paid). If the contract specifically states that
fringe benefits will be based on a specified percentage rather than the actual cost of
fringe benefits, then the calculation for the fringe benefits amount must be shown.
Exception: Governmental entities are not required to provide check numbers or
copies of checks for fringe benefits.
(3) Travel: Reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with Section 112.061, Florida
Statutes, which includes submission of the claim on the approved State travel voucher
or electronic means.
(4) Other direct costs: Reimbursement will be made based on paid invoices/receipts. If nonexpendable
property is purchased using State funds, the contract should include a provision for the
transfer of the property to the State when services are terminated. Documentation must
be provided to show compliance with Department of Management Services Rule 60A-
1.017, Florida Administrative Code, regarding the requirements for contracts which
include services and that provide for the contractor to purchase tangible personal
property as defined in Section 273.02, Florida Statutes, for subsequent transfer to the
State.
(5) In-house charges: Charges which may be of an internal nature (e.g., postage, copies, etc.) may be
reimbursed on a usage log which shows the units times the rate being charged. The
rates must be reasonable.
(6) Indirect costs: If the contract specifies that indirect costs will be paid based on a specified rate, then
the calculation should be shown.
