BOARD ACTION OF AUGUST 15, 1978 REGARDING SELECTION OF CONSULTANT FOR
MARCO ISLAND WATER/SEWER - RESCINDED. RESULT OF NEW VOTE: STANLEY
HOLE & ASSOCIATES SELECTED FOR ENGINEERING EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL;
NOTICE OF PROTEST PRESENTED BY AMERICAN APPRAISAL ATTORNEY, MR. MICHAEL
CRANE
Commissioner Archer began the discussion by moving that the Board
rescind the action it took during the August 15, 1978 meeting on the
IL..
---
.t ._1
August 22, 1978
selection of ~ consultant for the Marco Island Sewer project,
seconded by Commissioner Nenzcl and carried ullanimously 5/0. In
his second motion, Commissioner Archer moved that the Board accept
and adopt the results of the original ballot as was announced
during the August 15, 1978 meeting and that a new ballot be cast
to break the tie between the two firms that were selected for
second place (Black, Crow & Eidsness, Inc. und Stanley Hole and
Associates both had B points each). Before a second was forth-
coming, discussion followed rec-rarding the "right" Commissioner
Wimer had when he changed his vote on the original ballot without
employing Robert's Rules of Order (specifically - not getting the
Doard's approval for said change after the results of the first
ballot had been read aloud); Commissioner Wimer's remark regarding
the list of consultants given for review, saying they all were
qualified to do the work but that he personally preferred a local
firm that was experienced in water/sewer appraisal such as Black,
Crow, & Eidsness or Stanley Hole rather than American Appraisal that
admittedly did not have such a background of experience in the
State of Florida; also Commissioner Wimer's comment to American
Appraisal, Inc. and to the Board regarding the Boardls possible
employment of the firm when such real estate appraisal projects
become necessary, i.e. Seaboard Coast Line Railroad property as
a considered purchase by the Board and the School Board negotiations
for a land trade with the County; Commissioner Archer's objection
to Commissioner Wimer's remarks; and County Attornay Pickworth's
opinion that Commissioner Wimer had the "right" to change his vote
during the meeting of August 15, 1978 as there had been no motion
on the floor but suggested that the Board might want to move to
adopt the origL,al motion, with the results of the ballot being
those read by Utility Director Irving Berzon, then vote on that motion.

August 22, 1978
It was at thiR time, Commissioner Wenzel seconded Commissioner
Archerls motiJn, already on the floor and upon roll call vote,
the motion was defeated 2/3 with Co~~issioners Wenzel, Wimer,
and Brown dissenting.
Commissioner Brown then moved to nominate as the No. 1
firm, Stanley Hole and Associates; No.2 firm, Watson' Company I
and No. 3 firm, Hazen' Sawyer, for the consultants re Marco
IslAnd Water/Sewer project's evaluation and appraisal, seconded
by Commissioner Wimer and carried 3/2 with Commissioners Pistor
and Archer dissenting.
Attorney Michael Crane, American Apprainalls representative,
stated he had arrived when the Board was just completing the above-
referenced action and he hoped, because of such action, that the
arguments he had prcpareu in defense of the Notice of Protest he
had filed with the Board on behalf of American Appraisal, would not
be rendered mute. Mr. Crane addressed the point, as had the Board,
of whether or not one of the Commissioners could change his vote
based upon the original ballot taken during the meeting August 15,
1978 and questioned the legality of the Board rescinding all action
taken of the meeting. He continued, that the Boardls duty under the
Competitivo Negotiation Act requires the Board to rate in the order
of 1, 2, ) - the three most qualified firms that are seeking to
enter into negotiations with the County and onC3 this decision is
made, then negotiations must be made with t:le firm rated No. 1.
Mr. Crane said such a decision had been made when the Board voted,
using the weighted vote method, and placed American Appraisal in
first place with 9 points. At this point, according to Florida
Statute 287.055, paragraph 5, subparagraph (a), Mr. Crane stated that
the requirement placed upon the Board is to begin negotiations with
the most qualified firm, in this case, American Appraisal and quoted
from Robert's Rule of Order, Section 46 - "A member has a right to
.....
&--
t. I
August 22, 1978
change his vote up to the time that the vote is finally announced;
after that; he can only change the vote by permission of the
assembly". This will be the first deviation the Board has made
from the results of their "weighted" voting process for the last
eight contracts that have come before the C0mmissioners, Mr. Crane
concluded.
Commissioner Archer reai from the verbatim transcript those
portions that verified the statement of Attorney Crane's that
American Appraisal had been publicly announced as thA No. 1
firm per the original ballot taken in the August 15, 1978 meeting.
Attorney Crane stated at this time that the position of American
Appraisal will be that at the time the Board of County Commissioners
passed its first ballot, having a clear first place position for
American Appraisal as a result of the Board's weighted vote,
negotiations should have begun with American Appraisal and that
any act of rescission to change such a vote, is not consistent with
Parliamentary Procedure. He concluded with the statement that the
Board, in his opinion, is under a legal and moral obligation to
negotiate with American Appraisal.
County Attorney Pickworth, when asked, said that Board action
must be defended and that he and Mr. Crane had discussed their
respective positions and had agreed to disagree. He also stated
that ~Ir. Crane has a cogent argument as does the County.
ROBERT WHEELER, HEALTH DEPARTMENT, PRESENTED 15 YEAR SERVICE AWARD
Chairman Pistor presented ~tr. Robert Wheeler with a 15 year
Service Award, stating that Mr. Wheeler had given great service to
the County and the public during the past fifteen years. Mr.
Wheeler accepted his award with thanks to the Board of County
Commissioners.

Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News
on July 21, 1978 as evidenced by ~ffidavit of Publication filed
with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition
R-78-12-C by American Pistol and Rifle Association requesting

Township 50S, Range 26E and is more generally known as the property
located approximately 2~ miles south of Alligator Alley and ~ mile

tho petitions and recommended approval with a 3/2 vote on
July 20, 1~78, Dr. Spagna cOI.tinued, and he had for the record,
two letters of oppositionl Mr. James C. Scott, 507 West Clinton,
Frankfort, Indiana and Mr. T.J. Boxter, 8732 Beechwood, Indianapolis,
Indiana. Chairman Pistor presented for the record five letters
he had received in opposition; reasons for opposing were the
lowering of property values and the hazard of the proposed rifle
and pistol range by ricochetting bullets to people.
Mr. Dan Nickel, American Rifle and Pistol Association of Collier
County Trustee, stated there has long been a need in the county for
a pistol/rifle association and for a range where this Kind of sport
and recreation can be safely housed. Mr. Nickel said the property
is a 40 acre parcel of land located quite a distance from any
residential arca and is for the most part deserted. He gave the
size of the range as doubled the area most people use for this
purpose which will accordingly reduce all sound levels. The
membership of the Association has grown and continues to grow by
great numbers, Mr. NiCKel continued, while the interest increases
with the same enthusiasm. The proposed range will have public
classes in safety and firearms; target practice conducted by a
qualified range master; matches between qualified shooters; and,
the range will be made available to the public (which includes
ROTC instruction; law enforcement agencies; YMCA, etc).
Mr. NiCKel said the type of ammuni~ion to be used will be
"low-powered" with the Range Master in control of all ammunition
that is used by participants at the range site. Discussion
followed regarding the future use of center-fire rifles and their
ammunition; the bunKers surrounding the target area being very
high and equipped with deflectors1 the design of the range having
the National Rifle Association approval for safety and utility; and
the incidents of accident being non-existent on such ranges
already operating.

August 22, 1979
Mr. James C. Scott spoke in opposition, saying his property
is just 10 miles north of the proposed site and the installation
of such a range would be dangerous to people and would devalue
his land. Mr. Scott stated he had no objection to "skeet-shooting"
or the use of 221s.
Mr. Fred W. Clark spoke in opposition, explaining his personal
viewpoint that the rango would be a danger to people and a detri-
ment to the surrounding property and wondered why the petitioner
had not gone even farther out for a land site.
In defense of the petition, Mr. Nickel stated that the Florida
State zoning law requires there be one-half mile distance from a
highway before a rifle, high-powered or otherwise, can be discharged
and this requirement is less than is planned for the range. He
also said that proposed site has been dormant land for the past 27
years and the position of Golden Gate Estates in relation to the
range is some three (3) miles away.
Chairman Pistor asked that the stipulation of not allowing the
use of any armour piercing ammunition/steel bullets on any portion
of the range be added to the petitioner's agreement and Mr. Nickel
concurred.
There being no other registered speakers, Commissioner Wenzel
moved, seconded by Commissioner Archer and carried unanimoUSly, that
the public hearing be closed.
Commissioner Archer declared a possible conflict by stating that
he is a member of the American Pistol and Rifle Association in an
advisory capacity.
Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wenzel and
carried unanimousl~ that the Ordinance as numbered and titled below

RESOLUTION NO. 78-130 RE PETITION CCSL-78-7C BY SURETY CONSTRUCTION
COMPANY REQUES~lNG A COASTAL CON~TRUCTION SETBACK LINE VARIANCE
FOR LOTS 47 AND 48, VANDERBILT BEACH SUBDIVISION _ ADOPTED WITH
STIPULATIONS
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News
on August 6, 1978 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed
with the clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition
CCSL-78-7C by Surety Construction Company requesting a Coastal
Con~truction Setback Line variance for Lots 47 and 48, Vanderbilt
Beach Subdivision.
Dr. Neno Spagna, Community Development Director, presented
the variance petition requesting a reduction in the Coastal
Construction Setback Line from 155 feet, more or less, to 68 feet,
more or less, in order to construct a swimming pool with deck and
small structure containing bathers' restrooms and pool equipment,
seaward of the established Coastal Construction Setback line as
defined in Ordinance 75-19 for Lots 47 and 48, Block "A", Vanderbilt
Beach Subdivision and located on the west side of Gulf Shore Drive,
immediately south of Vanderbilt Club and immediately north of
Dayshores I. Dr. Spagna stated that the State Department of
Natural Resources is generally Opposed to granting a variance for
the construction of a sWimming pool seaward of the established
Coastal Construction Setback Lin~ but does take into consideration
the existence of a seawall when making their decision. He concluded
that such a seawall does exist in this instance and from this the
staff recommends approval of the variance.
There being no registered speakers, Commissioner Archer moved,
seconded by Commissioner Wimer and carried unanimously, to close
the public hearing.
Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown and
carried unanimously that ReSOlution No. 78-130 approving the variance
Petition CCSL 78-7C from the Coastal Construction Setback Line with
restrictions as shown and as required by Ordinance 75-19 for Surety
Construction Company be adopted.

RESOLUTION NO. 78-131 RE PETITION V-78-l5-C BY C.A. MURPHY
REQUESTING FRONT YARD VARIANCE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A SWIMMING
POOL FOR BEACHMOORE CONDO AT THE NW CORNER OF VANDERBILT BEACH
ROAD AND GDLF SHORE DRIVE - A00PTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News
on August 6, 1978 as evi~cnce~ by Affi~avit of PUblication filed
with the Clerk, the public hearing was opened to consider Petition
V-78-l5-C by C.A. Murphy requesting a front yard variance for the
construction of a swimming pool for Beachmoore Condominium located
at the NW corner of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive.
Zoning Director Carl Clemmer presented the request, stating
the petition had been brought before the Board previously when
the question was raised as to the southern access drive to the
project which was proposed to come off of Vanderbilt Road and
crossin' through a parking lot that the County had provided for
that area. Mr. Clemmer said that the Board asked to rehear the
petition so that this question might be cleared up. He continued,
that the swimming pool has a scalloped fence around it for privacy;
the height of the fence being 10' above grade. At this time, Mr.
Clemmer presented an alternative, that was acceptable by County
Engineer Barksdale, for the drive which will be coming into the
property off of Gulf Shore Drive, going around the swimming pool
and into the parking structures that are inside the building.
Mr. Clemmer concluded that Dtaff recommends approval.
County Manager Norman verified that this particular plan was
made acceptable according to County Engineer Barksdale's ~emo of
August 9, 1978 when the petitioner ay~eed to the erection of a
sign, indicating that the drive would only be used by residents
and the employment of a gate that would control access to the
residents, in this way limiting the drive's use.
Mr. Michael Moore, Vanderbilt Beach Property Owners Association
Representative, gave no objection to the granting of the variance but
asked that the Board continue to take a very close look at proposed
construction of assessory structures.

PROGRESS REPORT OF WIGGINS PASS DREDGING PROJECT GIVEN BY
DR. NENO SPAGNA - AUTHORIZATION TO SIGN LETTER OF CONCURRENCE
CONTINUED UNTIL AUGUST 29, 1978
County Manager Norman stated the U.S. Corps of Engineers will
complete a detailed feasibility and cost study of the Wiggins
Pass Dredging Project and will be preparing a recommendation
for Congressional action about December, 1978 with appropriations
being available around October, 1979. He continued, that the
County's cost for the Project will be about 50% of approximately
$1,500,000 to $1,750,000 and prior to the finalizing of the report,
the Board must provide the U.S. Corps a letter of concurrence to
proceed with the dredging project (when federal monies have been
appropriated by Congress) and must locate and make available a
site for depositing dredge material which is unsuitable for beach
disposal and must be placed on upland. He asked that Dr. Spagna
be called upon for any questions concerning the proposed project
and the method of acquiring the necessary monies.
Discussion followed regarding the use of ad valorem taxes;
special taxing district; or funded in the 1979-80 annual budget;
requesting the Corps of Engineers to scale down the dredging project;
the possibility of the State participating in the funding and a
brief background of the proposed project in relation to the Board.
Dr. Spagna reviewed the subject and said the Board had authorized,
in 1974, a reconnaissance study to be made by the U.S. Corps of
Engineers and it is this study that will be submitted to the State
[)OC~ 043 r~:: 54
b~~S 043 p~~: 55
August 22, 1978
in Decembel, 1978. This proj~ct is one of four other projects
that the State will be asking federal funding on and the State
will be going before the Congress for approval in October, 1979.
If the approval is given, then an appropriation will be available
for the FY 1980 resulting in the Board having yet another year
(FY 1980-81) before the allocation of any funds are necessary.
Chairman P~stor asked if the option to say "No" to the
completion of the proposed project would still be open if the
letter of concurrence were Bent now and Dr. Spagna replied in
the affirmative. Discussion regarding the scope of the study followed
with Dr. Spagna saying he would ask the Corps to cut the study
down to a bare minimum and still get the job done.
Chairman Pistor requested that the matter be continued until
August 29, 1978 so that more positive information regarding minimum
figures involven would be available and also to have Dr. Jay Harmic
and Mr. Bernie Yokel at the next presentation.
Mr. Steven Martin spoke in opposition to the project, saying
this project would be touching "just the tip of the iceberg" in
relation to maintenance and related it to Hickory Pass which,
now, must be done again.

COUNTY ENGINEER AUTHORIZED TO SIGN PLATS RE WATER AND SEWER
FACILITIES FOR UNIT 6, MARCO ISLAND NOW BEING SERVICED BY
DELTONA WA~ER/SEWER UTILITY
Utility Director Irving Berzon stated that there has been
a question concerning the signing of the plats for Unit 6, Marco
Island since April 4*, 1978 and he wanted to state his position,
for the record, as being one of disagreement with Deltona. His
opinion is that the existence of Deltonals franchise does not
remove the obligation of the Developer to deed the water/sewer
lines to the County and that the rights of the franchise are not
denied by this action.
County Attorney Pickworth gave his opinion in which he
maintains the Franchisee has the right to construct, install,
maintain and operate a water utility service in the franchised
area with the property remaining in the hands of the Franchisee.
Mr. Pickworth said as the situation now stands, the provisions
of the Subdivision Regulations requiring the Developers of land
to be platted, to construct and dedicate those water/sewer facilities
installed in such a development to the County, does not apply.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown
and carried unanimously, that the County Engineer be authorized
to sign the plats for Unit 6, Marco Island.
Utility Director Berzon said that there exists a bad franchise
situation but the County must "live with it" until it can be undone.

and if there are no increases, the Board will not be required to go
into the second part of the millage certification. However, he
continued, the schedule as it is now planned would provide for one
budget hearing at night which would satisify the initial requirement
of the budget public hearing and depending upon the millages required
to satisfy that proposed budget will determine whether or not further
hearings will b~ necessary for the adoption of the millages. Mr. Hall
said that all of the proposed budgets will be prepared next Tuesday,
August 29, 1978 and suggested the method of handling the millages for
some of the special districts would be to track the Statutes properly
and to confer with County Attorney Pickworth regarding the schedule.
He concluded that the dates for the advertised public hearings
regarding the proposed budget could be determined at the meeting
of August 29, 1978.

INTERVIEWS WITH CONSULTANTS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF COUNTY WATER TREATMENT
AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS - CH2M (BLACK, CROW & EIDSNESS, INC.) SELECTED
#1 FIRM; UTILITY DIRECTOR AUTHORIZED TO ENTER INTO NEGOTIATIONS WITH
# 1 FIRM
Prior to the commencement of the consultant interviews, Chairman
Pistor announced that all representatives would be asked to leave
the meeting room following their presentations. (The record will
reflect that this announcement wa~ made at the beginning of each
interview) .
A. BRILEY, WILO & ASSOCIATES
Mr. Carl Montecki, Civil Engineer - Briley, Wild & Associates,
stated that he represents the management of said firm and is
appearing before the Board to commit his firm to conduct the highest
possible quality of work for Collier County. He reviewed the history
of the firm, the personnel, past and current projects, qualifications,
and the like. Mr. Montecki distributed a brochure of the types
of projects managed by the firm and a brochure of the Scope of Work
and Project Team for the Development of a Ccunty Water Supply Treatment
and Transmission System, Collier County, Florida.
Mr. A.J. Birchall, P.~., the Associate in Charge for the project,
outlined briefly the scope of the work involved which, he said,
contains 8 Plan Elements beginning with a Preparation of Study Goals
and Objectives and concluding with a Preparation of the Fiscal Plan.
Mr. Michael White, P.E., Project Engineer designee, illustrated
by slide projection, a recently-completed water supply program at
Ormond Beach, Florida, which he said is similar to what is being
proposed for Collier County.

Mr. Montecki stated that the firm is presently establishing
a local office in Naples for handling potential Collier County work,
noting that a local firm (Tri-County Engineering) would be employed
as the subcontractor for performing some of the work such as
mapping, graphics and surveying; however, his firm would have full
responsibility for the project. He concluded the presentation by
stating that his firm would be pleased if the Board would allow the
firm to serve the County.
B. CH2M HILL (BLACK, CROW & EIDS~ESS)
Mr. Ted Smallwood, CH2M Hill/Black, Crow & Eidsness, stated that
the firm he represents is pleased to have the opportunity to present
their qualifications to the Board for the Development of County Water
Supply, Treatment and Transmission System. He reflected briefly on
past history stating that in the past 12 months a very progressive
approach has been taken by the County in developing a very-much needed
County water system. He commented on the agreement reached with the
City of Naples by the County stating that it refelcted a program which
would place the County in a position of providing for a Phase One
Program by 1982 to provide both water treatment and distribution to
the major County areas with the possibility of including within that
system the Capri Water Works, Marco Island Utility, and the Golden Gate
System. He referred to maps displayed to illustrate the current status,
the Phase One Program, and what is contemplated for the future with
regard to expansion of the system.
Mr. David Pine, Staff Member, listed the following proposed
objectives for the project to help get the program "off on the right
foot" :
1. A Phase Program for system growth in 1990.
2. Preliminary design for those items in the program
which will be required for the Phase One construction.
3. Determine the economic feasibility program implementation.
4. Obtain funding for the program.

August 22, 1978
Mr. Pine revi~wed briefly the steps that the County will have to go
through to get into the water business, including the proposed plan of
action to obtain each of the stated objectives. Mr. Pine noted that
CH2M Hill provides certain advantages such as local office and personnel
local awareness as the result of having been working in Collier County
for many years; close cooridnation with the County staff; extensive
related experience; complete in-house capabilities in the areas of
engineering, economics, water resources; and, proven ability to integratl
each of these disciplines into the achievement of satisfactory conclusiol
to County projects.
With regard to Chairman Pistor's inquiry regarding the importance
of population projections, Mr. Smallwood responded that they are very
important but that they are recognized to be "crystal ball" figures,
adding that the validity of the numbers have to have reason to them.
Of more importance, Mr. Smallwood continued, is the projected revenue
at the time the system is placed in operation.
Utility Director Irving Berzon inquired about the estimated
length of time it will take to complete the study with Mr. Smallwood
responding that it depends on obtaining information regarding the
impact the existing facilities will have on the various alternatives.
He said that if that information was available now, it would probably
take six months, adding that if the information is integrated on a
scheduled basis it can be fed into the stu1y as it moves along and
might require an additional month.
Mr. Berzon inquired why so much emphasis is being placed on
the bonding matter~ prior to the development of detailed plAns and
specifications. Mr. Smallwood explained that an evaluation of the
utilities and an economic study must be completed, following which
a recommended and accepted plan would be established on which to move
forward. The next step, said Mr. Smallwood, is to put together a
,.-. -,

financial plan to go to the bond purchasers with which will
include the ~ecessary implemen~ing ordinance, .the rates to finance
the system, and the like, all of which will be necessary at that
poin t.
Mr. Smallwood concluded the presentation by stating that he
would like to work with the County on the program.
The record will reflect that brochures were distributed
detailing a list of water system development plan studies conducted
by the firm, as well as providing answers to the various questions
posed by the Utility Division when invitations were extended to the
various firms for response.

C. GEE & JENSON
Mr. John McKune, Vice President of Gee and Jenson - in charge of
Water and Sewer Department, expressed his appreciation to the Board
for the opportunity of making a presentation rr.garding his firm's
qualifications for tho subject project, and introduced other members
of the firm who would be involved in the project, namely, John Wise,
Project Manager on water and waste projects, and N. Sandy Nettles,
Hydrogeologist, and provided a brief background of their experience.
Using a series of slide projections, Mr. McKune described the
firmls offices and facilities, the nearest one to the County being
located in Lehigh Acres. Additional slides of recent projects performed
by the firm were shown by Mr. McKune among them the water/sewer
facilities for the Coral Springs Improvement District and Pompano
Beach, Florida. He noted that for the last twenty years the firm
has been the City Engineers for Vero Beach, Florida, and that the
firm is presently under contract to the Big Cypress Basin to develop
data relative to water supply in western Collier County.

Mr. Nettles projected slides to illustrate the various
phases in th~ development of a water supply system, the first
step being the delineation of the study area, another step
being the evaluation of the water supply, following which a
plan is developed based on what is coming into the system, what
is going out, and what is being utilized, and the like. He said
that at the present time the firm is in the process of making
a well inventory, evaluating all of the existing wells to deter-
mine where the water is being pulled from, the quality of the
water, and the like, using available data where possible, in
order to develop a program. He described the monitoring processes
which would follow in order to determine as accurately as possible
what is taking place within the acquifer, as well as with the
surface water. Ultimately, said Mr. Nettles, a water management
plan will be prepared which should delineate where the well fields
should be placed, how long they can be expected to operate, how
far-reaching the effects of the pumpage are, the effect on the
adjacent users, and the cost efficiency.
Mr. McKune summarized by stating that if Gee & Jenson is
selected for the project, the following expertise can be applied
by them:
1. A thorough Knowledge of the characteristics of South
Florida Water.
2. Engineering staff uses "state of the art" treatment
techniques and equipment so that maximum benefit can
be obtained from each dollar spent - they do not
"pull off standard treatment plants from the shelf".
3. In-house computer capabilities to enable efficient
hydraulic design of major regional water mains.
4. The firm enjoys good relationships with the various
permitting agencies throughout the State, and with
bond counsels and with financial advisors both in
Florida and New York.
ConclUding, Mr. McKune said that the evaluation of the several
independent systems in existence in the County is of extreme importance
,-,
. , ,
....-.-..
August 22, 1978
in the study and that they should be used as much as is practical
as part of the Master Plan, thereby maintaining the desired
level and quality of service to the consumer while keeping the
water rates and other user charges to a minimum.
Mr. McKune add~essed two of the questions contained in the
Utility Director's letter of August 1, 1978 to the firm, as follows:
1. Have the principals of your firm ever been involved in
arbitration or litigation at any time which questioned
technical capability or financial responsibility?
and
2. Has your firm or any of its principals ever been
involved in bankruptcy proceedings?
Mr. McKune stated "categorically 'No'" to both of the questions.
Regarding subcontracting portions of the work, Mr. McKune
said that subcontractors (local firms) would be used for surveying
and for water quality and analysis work.
Mr. Berzon inquired how long it would be for the work
being done for the District to be of value in the study with Mr. MCKune
responding that there will be some direct value by the end of
September (1978); however, he said that the program will run another
year. Mr. Berzon further inquired if the speaker is familiar
with the agreement between the City of Naples and the County with
Mr. McKune replying that "Basically, we are".
Chairman Pistor expressed the appreciation of the Board to
the representatives from Gee & Jenson for their presentation.
D. GREELEY & HANSEN
Mr. John Federico, Project Developer for Greeley & Hansen,
introduced the other representatives of the firm present, and, due
to the fact that the f~rm has not previously performed work for
the County, provided a brief resume of the firm, its personnel and
the various projects both completed and in-progress. He distributed
a brochure containing, in addition to data on the firm, answers to
WO( 043 pl.:~142.
bl,CK 0 43 fJ.~: 143
August 22, 1978
the questions posed by the Utility Director in his letter to
the firms dated August 1, 1978.
Mr. Edward T. Knudsen, Jr., described representative
projects performed by the firm similar to what the County is
considering in its project for the development of a water treat-
ment and transmission system. Mr. Knudsen said that in the
development of the program for the County, it should be recognized
that it is imperative to interact their design with the work that
has been done by 0thers, noting that there has been some good work,
including data, which should be able to be applied to the needs of
the County. Efforts will be coordinated, said Mr. Knudsen, with
the Big Cypress Basin Project of the South Florida Water Management
District, adding that any data available from the USGS data bank
regarding County-wide water resources will be interfaced to develop
a better "feel" for the water supply in the County. Mr. Knudsen
stated that periodic meetings will be held with the Utility Division,
including, perhaps, the Water Management Advisory Board, for a
step-by-step review of the studies.
Hr. Knudsen stated that one of the most important parts of
the study is to identify the water sources and locations and he
said for this purpose it is propos3d to engage the firm of Leggette,
Brashears and Graham, Inc. as the firmls "arm" in the hydrogeological
field. Once this phase of the study is complete, ~Ir. Knudsen
stated that the next step is to determine the water quality, balancing
the various supplies with treatment techniques and costs, and for
this purpose, it is proposed that the firm of Edward E. Clark be
engaged. Mr. Knudsen introduced Mr. James P. Elliott, Source,
Inc., who would be in charge of data collection, and would also
serve as liaison for the project.
Mr. Elliott explained that his firm is strategically located
in Cape Coral and explained his role in data collecting and as
r--,

liaison, and outlined his qualifications regarding work performed
on similar projocts.
Followirg the conclusion of the presentation by Greeley &
Hansen, Chairman Pistor expressed appreciation to the firm
members and representatives.

E. REYNOLDS, SMITH AND HILLS
Mr. Robert Klein, Vice President of Reynolds, Smith and
Hills, and Regional Office Manager of the Southwest Florida
Office of the firm, stated that he was present on behalf of
the firm in response to the letter from the Utility Director
requesting that the firm submit their credentials and qualifi-
cations. Accompanying Mr. Klein, were David N. Hagen, Vice
President Plantec Corporation, a whOlly-owned subsidiary of
Reynolds, Smith and Hills, who would be in charge of the bond
financing system and who would also assist the engineers daily
in the technical course of the system, And Also A representative
Crum another whully-owned subsidiary 01 the firm - EnvironmentAl
Science and Engineering, Inc. The methodology to be used in
developing the system, said Mr. Klein, and creating a master
plan for the entire County, would be to looking forward to the
growth, the demography of the present County And where it is
going, and then ~resent a step-by-step grcwth fActor predicated
on the actual growth, while simultAneously looking at the existing
systems, the sizes and quality of them and try to tie them
altogether to provide a unified base. At the same time, Mr. Klein
said they would be working with the economist to determine the
rates applicable to the type of system, when determined, and the
type of financing.
Mr. Hagen listed twelve aspects of engineering, economics
and utility rate financing for which he would be responsible
with regard to the project, among them rate studies, bond financing,
8M, 043 i'/'~~1g.
b~~C'(, 043 f~~:145
August 22, 1978
institutional management programs, fiscal impact analyses and
assessment programs. He detailed his experience in these areas,
following which he commented that the firm will do its utmost
to make sure the Board's constituents will know as much and
understand as much of the program as is possiblA which will
make the Commissioner's jobs easier.
Mr. Lee Dowdy, Manager of the Environmental Engineering
Division, was called upon to explain how the firm assisted
lIillsborough County, Florida in handling their growing problem
of providing water and sewer to their constituents. He said
that the program in the county, after ten yearsl operation,
possesses $20-30,000,000 of capital equipment installation, a
$1~-2,OOO,OOO operating budget, 20,000 or more customers, and an
operating staff of over 100 people. He said that once a program
of providing utilities is started it will mushroom beyond imagination
and that it must be started on a firm planned basis so that financing
arc not outstripped nor the ability to provide the service, nor,
on the other hand, over-commit utility service and not have
sufficient customers to pay for that service.
Commissioner Archer inquired if the questions posed in the
~reviously referred-to letter from the Utility Director have been
answered with Mr. Klein noting that they will be - referrin~ to the
documents which he will leave with Mr. Berzon.
Mr. Berzon inquired if Mr. Klein is familiar with the agreement
between the City of Naples and the County with Mr. Klein detailing
his understanding of the agreement.
In response to Commissioner Wimer's question as to whether or
not the firm has ever been sued, Mr. Klein responded that the firm
does get lawsuits against it dirently or indirectly. He said that
the firm has a large underwriter insurer who has informed them that
for a business of the size of his firm, such lawsuits are in the
"--.1
. 1

very minimal area, observing that there is no question about
lawsuits when dealing with human problems in todayls business
world.
Chairman Pistor expressed the Board's appreciation for the
presentation by the representatives of the Reynolds, Smith and
Hill engineering firm.
F. ROSS, SAARINEN, BOLTON & WILDER
Mr. Thomas D. Furman, Jr., Vice President of Ross, Saarinen,
Bolton & Wilder, commented that brochures regarding the firm have
previously been distributed and reviewed by the staff which negated
further comments in this regard. To gather data for the project,
Mr. Furman stated that much time has been spent in contacting various
persons, reading USGS reports for the district, and the like, and, in
his opinion, the firm has identified what is believed to be the
key issues in doing a proper job for the County. Mr. Furman stated
that in addition to the hardcore engineering aspects of the proposed
project, there are other important factors to be considered, such
as financing, and the like. The fOllowing team of persons, he said,
have been put together to conduct the program:
1. Thomas D. Furman, Jr. - Project Director
2. Clark H. Rowell - Resident proj ect l-fanager
3. Dr. George J. Kelley - Funding and Fiscal Advisor
4. Gerald Hartman - Project Engineer
5. Charles H. Bolton, III - Technical Advisor
6. E. Lawrence Ad.:.ms, Jr. - WateL. resources, Engineering
And Financial Management
Mr. Furman said that the team is qualified and experienced and so
is the firm they represent.
With a s~ries of charts, Mr. Furman outlined what the project
consists of and the approach which the firm would use to develop
the program. He indicated his understanding of the agreement between
the City of Naples and the County.

August 22, 1978
Mr. Rowdll stated that the study to be performed must
answer both technical and financial questions; it must generate
an alternative that responds to the above-referenced agreement
and provide the building blocks for the future County water
system which is attractive to investors with a user's charge
that will be taken from the initial meeting with tha County
Commissioners up to and including the support of the bond sales.
Dr. George Kelley stated that he has, over the years, managed
to sell about $250,000,000 worth of municipal bonds either as an
advisor or in terms of actually having the local government respons-
ibility. From this experience, said Dr. Kelley, he has learned
that a firm must work hand in hand to develop a financial package
and a technical package, making them compatible in not only
meeting needs but at the same time not imposing a financial burden.
He said that the firm has an office in New York City, has contacts
with the underwriting fraternity in that city, and close contact
with the major New York bond counsels, which is an asset in terms
of the best financial package available. In summary, Dr. Kelley
stated that the matter of solving financial pr.oblems is at least
equal to the technical engineering problems.
Mr. Furman reiterated the advantages he feels his firm could
bring to the project development, noting that since it would be
their first project in the County, they would be unbiased and totally
objective which might be an advantage for the County. He noted that
the intent is for the firm to set up an office in the area which
would be established to conduct th~s project and, hopefUlly, others.
Commissioner Wimer commented that the presentation by Ross,
Saarinen, Bolton & Wilder ~as a fine one and that obviously "they
had done their homework".

VOTING AND SELECTION OF NOS. 1, 2 AND 3 FIRMS
County Attorney Pickworth briefly reviewed the draft of a
policy resolution concerning the method of voting and selecting
consulting firms to be ranked Nos. 1, 2, and 3. The suggestion,
said Mr. Pickworth, is that each Commissioner wHl choose by a
writt~n ballot his preference for the firm most highly qualified
by writing one name on a slip of paper and turning the slips in
to the Clerk. If a firm has three votes or more, following the
tally, Mr. Pickworth stated that it become obligatory for a
member of the Board or Chairman to move, second, and vote upon
the motion without amendment. Tho proposed pOlicy, continued
Mr. PiLkworth, provides for the changing of votes, as follows:
"Once a member has delivered his ballot to the Clerk, no member
may change his ballot after the Clerk has announced the tally
unless the Board, by motion duly adopted, shall allow such
member to change his ballot." Mr. Pickworth said that this
provision is included to allow for breaking a tie vote in the
event there is a four-member Board in session.
Chairman Pistor instructed the Board to designate their choice
for the No. 1 firm on the ballots distributed, sign his name, and
turn them in to the Clerk. The results of the ballot were:
CH2M Hill (Black, Crow & Eidsness, Inc.) - 4 votes
Ross, Saarinen, Bolton, Wilder - 1 vote
Commissioner Wenzel moved to accept the decision of the ballot
and designate the firm of CH2M Hill (Black, Crow & Eidsness, Inc.)
as the No. I firm. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Brown and
carried 4/1 with Commissioner Archer dissenting.
The same procedure was followed in selecting the No. 2 firm.
The first vote taken resulted in a tie vote, following which a second
vote was taken with the following results:

the No. 2 firm.
The ~esults of the vote taken for the No. 3 firm was unanimous
in favor of the firm of Ross, Saarinen, Bolton, Wilder.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown
and carried unanimously 5/0, that Ross, Saarinen, Bolton, Wilder be
selected as the No. 3 firm.
Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wenzel
and unanimously carried 5/0, that the Utility Director be authorized
to enter into negotiations with the designated No. 1 firm of CH2M
Hill (Black, Crow & Eidsness), for the development of the County
Water Treatment and Transmission System.
