PROGRESS REPORT ON WIGGINS PASS DREDGING PROJECT _ CHAIRMAN AUTHORIZED TO SIGN GRANT APPLICATION TO BUREAU OF BEACHES & SHORES, STATE DNR, TO HELP FUND PORTION OF DREDGING PROJECT RESULTING IN THE RESTORATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF WIGGINS PASS. DISCUSSION RF. INTER-COASTAL WATERWAYS - STAFF DIRECTED TO IN- VESTIGATE SITU~TION Per the Bo~rd'~ request, County Manager Norman supplied the following information regarding the Wiggins Pass Dredging Project: The Corps of Engineers considered alternative improvement designs and maintained the dredging of both channels to Wiggins Pass Marina t __.-I August 29, 1978 and Vanderbilt Lagoon would be the process of reducing project cost; the project would not include any protective facilities and the Corps will maintain fULture maintenance; there are no known source of funds available at this time to assist the County in its share of the project; the primary objective of the County is to designatp. upland sites for placement of dredge material which cannot be utilized at or near their dredge site. Mr. Norman noted the Corps will complete the reconnaissance study by September, 1979, not December, 1978 as previously reported, and actual construction will get underway approximately October, 1981. He further noted there is a possible source for state funding if an application is made by September 4, 1978 to the Bureau of Beaches and Shores for 70% of the County's share of the project (50%) for dredging the portion of the pass which will result in restoration and improvement in Wiggin's Pass Beach. In reRponse to Chairman Pistor's concern, Mr. Norman noted that the receipt of said grant will not commit the County to fund the rest of the project; however, he noted this particular grant program is for a two-year period and the money will not be available for two years. Mr. Irving Berzon, Utility Director, stated the DER will work in concurrence with the Corps of Engineers if this project is undertaken. Mr. Walter Wilde, President of VanGerbilt Beach Property Owner's Association, noted there is several million dollars worth of waterfront property that will severly depre~~ate if the project is not undertaken as the waters will stagnate. He stated that according to a questionnaire handed out by the Corps of Engineers approximately 209 water vessels in the Wiggins Pass area, 16-25 feet in length, are held up 40% of the time trying to get through the pass which results in the vessel owners spending $134 per year for ar.CK 043 Pt.::: 2rJ7 f;~2~. 043 fl.;~208 August 29, 1978 repairs and towjng costs. Mr. Wilde commented that waterfront property is assessed $115 per linear front foot more than inland property for a "pass" that is impassable. He noted the Corps of Engineers places various environmental restrictions on any of their proje<.:ts. Commissioner Wenzel noted that several years ago a project was discussed concerning the construction of an inter-coastal waterway extending from Lee County to the Pass. Chairman Pistor requested the County Manager to investigate the matter in terms of obtaining financial assistance for the project. Mr. Bernie Yokel, Collier County Conservancy, commented on Mr. Wilde's prediction of stagnate waterways by stating the system is in good order and balance with the area. He noted there may be some problems in the developed portions of the Wiggins Pass area, adding that the present system as is provides a "natural scene" as far as fishing, beaching, and other types of recreation. Mr. Yokel stated thRt while in the winter season the pass will become shallow due to a low amount of rainfall, he has never known it to close up entirely but adjusts itself to the volume of waterflow activity. He commented that before anything is done to the Pass, it should be considered that inbalances may be created. Hr. Yokel noted the system is delivering many benefits, (good supply of fish, self-cleaning system, ate) which the County would risk losing if changes are made. He stated the instant the dredging, if any, is halted, it would return to the way it was as it is naturally a shallow system. Chairman Pistor commented that public hearings will be held on the matter but not until the Corps of Engineers have completed their study on the project. rp- "~ . . , L__-I August 29, 1978 Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wenzel and cArried unanimously 5/0, that the Chairman be authorized to sign a grant application to the State DNR, Bureau of Beaches & Shores, to help fund the portion of the proposed dredging project which would result in the restoration and improvement of Wiggins Pass. * * * * RECESS: 12:00 P.M. until 1:35 P.M. at which time Deputy Clerk Pantano was replaced by Deputy Clerk Brenneman. it * * * COUNTY ATTORNEY PROVIDES OPINION RE PROPOSED TRANSFER OF COUNTY'S WATER CONTROL STRUCTURES TO BIG CYPRESS BASIN BOARD (SFWMD) FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED FROM 8/22/78) - FURTHER CONTINUED UNTIL 9/12/78 County Attorney Pickworth stated that a letter has been written by him to Attorney Robert Grafton, District Counsel, South Florida Water Management District, copies of which were distributed to the Commissioners, setting forth his opinion as far as the transfer of title to certain water control structures for operational and main- tenance purposes, his opinion being that he does not believe the County can do this. Mr. Pickworth noted that he has not received a reply to his communication as yet. He said that the County would be in a more "comfortable" position if the proposed project was done by agreement rather than by a transfer of title1 however, the question remains as to whether or not the District can enter into . such an agreement for these purposes on structures to which they do not hold t.itle. The question was raised by Commissioner Archer as to whether or not the desire is for the District to take over all of the County's structures or just a portion of them, with Utility Director Berzon commenting that the original proposal was for the taKeover of the seven structures at salt barrier line locations. 8rc~ 043 pl.:~209 brer. 043 Ii,~:- 210 August 29, 1978 Mr. William Walters, member of WMAB and the Big Cypress Basin Board of the SFr~D, observed that the Basin Board indicated a willing- ness to take over just the aforementioned seven structures because they wanted to do it on a piecemeal basis. However, in his opinion, Mr. Walters stated that it is not wise to have two groups involved so, therefore, he will ask the Basin Board's approval to assume responsibility for all of the structures. He added that he will also seek a cost estimate for the project which is more in line with the Utility Director's. Regarding the financing, Mr. Walters said this will be t~~ Basin's responsibility. Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and carri~J unanimously, that the subject be continued until the meeting of S~~tember 12, 1978 at which time answers to the questions raised will be available. RESOLUTION 78-136 AUTHORIZING ENGINEERING SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH WATER MANAGEMENT ASPECTS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT STUDY PROGRAM FOR GOLDEN GATE ESTATES AREA - ADOPTED Utility Director Irving Berzon adviRed that the proposed resolution being presented for Board action reflects the Board's consensus reached during the discussion of the matter at the Workshop Session held August 21, 1978.

He noted that he does not question the validity of the appraisal but it is in the best interests of all concerned that a second appraisal be obtained. Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commissioner Archer and carried unanimously 5/0, that approval be given for a second appraisal of the property being considered for the above-referenced project, and that funds not to exceed $750 be appropriated for this purpose. Regarding the matter of the sources for funding the project, Mr. Berzon stated that when the project is completed, it will be paid for by the District. RESOLUTION 78-137 AUTHORIZING CONSTRUCTION OF WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM RE GOODLAND WATER DISTRICT - ADOPTED County Attorney Pickworth stated that the proposed resolution is primarily a matter of form rather than substance and provided the Board with the background which has led to the drafting of the subject resolution regarding the authorization of the construction of the water distribution system in the Goodland Water District. Mr. Pickworth stated that when the District was created as a MST District, the bond counsel was of the opinion that water revenue bonds could not be issued in the name of the District. To rectify the situation, he said that tho Board can issue the bonds under Chapter 153, Part 1, which authorizes the Commission to issue water revenue bonds to construct the system. He said that the subject Br.CK 043 Ff,~:; Z13 or.c~ 043 Fl.;: 2.1.'4 AUgust 29, 1978 statute provides that any county may exercise this power by adopting a resolution stating the need for doing this, the desire to do this, and outlining A brief description of the project. The proposed resolution, said Mr. Pickworth, has been prepar~d following the provisions of the statute, and briefly reviewed the document. FOllowing brief discussion, Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wenzel and carried 5/0, that Resolution 78-137 authorizing construction of a water distribution system in the Goodland Water District be adopted. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ~ &"C~ 0 43 fJ.~~ 218 August 29, 1978 CANCELLATION OF COOPERATIVE LEASE AGREEMENT WITH DIVISION OF FORESTRY FOR EQUIPMENT BEING USED BY THE BIG CORKSCREW ISLAND FIRE & RESCUE CONTROL DISTRICT - AUTHORIZED Administrative Aide to the Board Mary Morgan noted the receipt of correspondence dated August 22, 1978 from the Division of Forestry regarding the need to cancel a Cooperative Lease Agreement with the County for equipment being used by the Big Corkscrew Island Fire & ReSnllG Control District, including all addenda thereto. Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown and carried 5/0, that the subject Lease Agreement be canceled, as requested. PETITION FROM RESIDENTS ALONG AUTO RANCH ROAD RE ESTABLISHMENT OF ROAD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT - ACCEPTED, COUNTY ENGINEER TO PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS RE SAME Administrative Aide to the Board Mary Morgan noted the receipt of a petition containing 12 signatures from residents along Auto Ranch Road requesting the Board to consider the est.ablishment of a road improvement district on the assessment method. Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wenzel and carried 5/0, that the Board accept the petition and that the staff be instructed to take appropriate action. During the discussion which followed, County Manager Norman suggested that a definitive policy be adopted regarding the hanoling of improvement to private streets, such as the one under discussion. Commissioner Archer noted that this suggestion could be included in the recommendations to be brought back for Board review with regard to the subject request. REPORT OF THE MARCO ISLh:m J ';,':ORPORATION STUDY COMMITTEE RECEIVED FOR THE RECORD; SUBJECT TO BE PLACED ON AGENDA OF SEPTEMBER 12, 1978 Chairman Pistor noted the receipt of a copy of of the Report of the Marco Island Incorporation Study Committee has been submitted by the Committee Chairman Jane C. Paulus, under date of August 22, 1978. 1_.1 August 29, 1978 He said that he has asked that the matter be placed on the agenda for September 12, 1978. BOARD AUTHORIZES CHAIRMAN TO FORWARD LETTER TO REPRESENTATIVE OF GULF HARBOR SUBDIVISION RE BOAT BASIN INDICATING THAT THE BCC IS RECEPTIVE TO THE IDEA OF DEEDING COUNTY-OWNED PROPERTY TO THE SUBDIVISION HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION Commissioner Wimer noted the receipt of a letter from Clerk Willi Reagan dated August 2, 1978 with regard to a request made by Attorney Richard M. Jones, on behalf of his clients in the Gulf Harbor Sub- division, to purchase certain property in Collier County, Florida. A copy of his response to Attorney Jones, said the Commissioner, has been included in the Board correspondence for consideration by the Commissioners. Basically, said Commissioner Wimer, the request is the same as a request made previously, to wit: that a parcel of County-owned property be given, sold, or the like, to some of the interior property owners of the subdivision. According to the minutes of the meeting wherein the discussion took place, it was decided that if a homeowners' association was formed, the County would deed the parcel to them, said Commissioner Wim~r, and the petitioners have never come back to the Board with a homeowners' association. He said that the property in question is for the establishment of a boat basin for the use of all of the interior property owners which was the intent of the developer. County Attorney Pickworth stated that the Board can grant the request; however, whether or not it is a good idea is the problem. Chairman Pis tor voiced the opinion that he does not think it is a good idea because it might open the door to other similar requests. Commissioner Wimer moved, that the Chairman be authorized to forward a letter to the petitioners stating that the Board is stilI rec~~'llve to the idea of deeding the subject property to a homeowners' association. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Wenzel and carried by unanimous vote 5/0. ~r~x 043 p,,~= 219 8m 0 43 fJ.~~ '220 August 29, 1978 REQUEST BY NORTH NAPLES FIRE CONTROL DISTRICT FOR FIRE HYDRANTS IN INDUSTRIAL PARK REFERRED TO COUNTY MANAGER FOR RECOMMENDATION Commissioner Wimer noted the receipt of a request dated hugust 10, 1978 from Frank A. Pettengill, Secretary, North Naples Fire Control District, requesting the installation of fire hydrants in the Pine Ridge Industrial Park, noting that a copy of his response to the request is included in the correspondence. Commissioner Wimer commented that normally a petition would be requested for this type_ of project; however, the area is not residential, said the Commissioner, and requested Board opinion as to whether a petition is desired or if Lhe EngineeJ:iny Staff could be authorized by the Board to start the process. County Attorney Pickworth advised that the pertinent ordinance states that the Board can authorize a fire hydrant district by a petition of 50% plus one or the Board, on its own, can authorize it by motion, adding that the Board always has the option of authorizing improvements to be made. Concerning the feelings of the affected rroperty owners, Commissioner Wimer stated that although he has not talked to 50% of them, the ones with whom he spoke would very much like to have the hydrants installed. Commissioner Wenzel suggested that a letter be sent to the property owners explaining the proposal to them and solicicing their comments. A further suggestion.was made by County Engineer Barksdale that if a district is created it should be a combined water service and fire hydrant district. It was pointed out by the Utility Director Berzon that during the interim period the district would be served by the City water supply with Commissioner Wenzel pointing out that if the City did not want to provide the service the County could assume the responsibility earlier than anticipated. ~ L__I August 29, 1978 It was the consensus of the Doard, and the direction of the Chairman, that County Manager Norman meet with the appropriate st~ff members to work out the details for establishing a district, as requested, and considering the suggestions brought forth. BOARD CONCURS WITH COMMISSIONER WIMER'S RESPONSE TO CONSTITUENT, WITH REGARD TO BICYCLE MOTORCROSS TRACK, DATED AUGUST 24, 1978 Commissioner Wimer noted the receipt of a request from a young constituent in his district for the establishment of a bicycle motor- cross track, and reviewed the contents of his response to the request, in essence stating that the Board does not have funds available for this purpose in the coming year. Commissioner Wimer stated that he has located property in the area that the participants could use free if a certificate of insurance could be provided, which, as was pointed out by the County Manager, is expensive. Commissioner Wimer requested the Board's concurrence with his reply which was given.

CONSULTANT SELECTION INTERVIEWS RE MVI STATION AND SOLID WASTE TRANSFER S'l'AT:l:ON PROJECT; KRIS JAIN , ASSOCIATES SELECTED U FIRM; COUNTY ENGINEER AUTHORIZED TO ENTER INTO NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE FIRM Prior to the commencement of the consultant interviews for the Motor Vehicle Inspection Station and Solid Waste Transfer Station, County Engineer BarkSdale provided the Board with a brief summary L_I I _ I August 29, 1978 . of the project which he said will be located on leased property at the Naples Airport site, locating same on the map which he provided. A discussion of the proposed lease with the Airport Authority was discussed with concern being expressed regarding the construction of a permanent facility on leased ground with Commissioner Wimer recalling that he had voted in opposition to the leasing of property noting he would prefer the project being constructed on County-owned land. Mr. Barksdale commented that the lease involved will have to be sufficiently long-term in order to amortize the investment. The scope of the contract with the consultant selected was addressed with Mr. Barksdale noting that the City of Naples has asked that they be considered as sharing in part of the cost of the transfer station itself for the right to utilize it, or to establish a fee system for the City's use. He said that a determination should be made in this regard because the scope of the project will be affected due to the increase in tonnage which would be generated. It was suggested by Commissioner Wimer that a Board policy should be established noting the possibility that independent franchise holders may wish to use the transfer station also. GEE & JENSON Mr. Philip Crannel1, Jr., Senior Vice President of the firm, provided the Board with a brief history of Gee & Jenson stating that the firm is a combined architectural and engineering firm with all work being done in-house, negating the necessity for contracting out portions of the work. He described representative projects the firm has completed which are similar to the County's proposed project, the most recent being a rehabilitation project on the waste management and waste transfer facility in Delray, Florida, for the Solid Waste Authority for Palm Beach County. Mr. Crannell stated that he would be the principal in charge; John Wise would be in charge of engineering, commenting that Mr. Wise was the engineer in charge of all construction 3~~~ 043 pc~ 223 B,~C~ 0 43 fC~ 224 August 29, 1978 for Disney World and the coordination of its waste-management system. In addition, said Mr. Crannell, Walter Stevens, of the firm's Lehigh Acres' office, would be responsible for the co- ordination of all the construction supervision, and other matters such as the proposed rate study and evaluation which was previously discussed. Concerning the approach to the project, Mr. Crannell said that first of all a determination of the County's needs would be made for the present and in terms of long-range needs, following which detailed programming would be done to identify the major components as well as long lead-time items which need to be purchased to prevent a lag in construction time. The next item would be the schematic design and cost estimate for review with the County personnel, con- tinued Mr. Crannell. The next step, he said, would be implementation using what he termed the "fast-track" approach which he explained is a method whereby the client makes use of its own purchasing department. This method, said Mr. Crannell, has resulted in considerable savings plus the possibility of earlier occupancy. Following further review of the working drawings by the County, the construction documents would be prepared. Mr. Crannell observed that emphasis should be placed on the appearance of the facility and stated that anything that can be done to keep the trash from blowing around, screening the facilities to take care of overflow problems, and the like, should be done. In summary, Mr. Crannell stated that his firm is qualified for the project because of in-house staff and dopth of staff which would permit more efficiency; the fact that the firm is familiar with the type of operation contemplated, plus the fact that they are acquainted with the area, having done work for the County previously. . 4. t_j August 29, 1978 ~OST, BUCKLEY, SCHUH, & JERNIGA~, INC. Mr. Fred biery, Manager of t:.e Fort Myers branch of the firm, expressed appreciation for the opportunity to present the firm's qualifications for the subject project, beginning with a brief review of the firm an~ its staff. He listed the personnel who would be involv~d in the proj~ct's development, some of whom, he said, are working on the Pelican Bay project in the County. Mr. Dick Olney, Project Manager, stated that their approach to the project would be to divide it into two phases, namely II. brief, preliminary design phase, and secondly, the design phase. During the first phane, Mr. Olney said a determination of the size and equipment requirements would be made for each facility. With regard to the Solide Waste Transfer Station, Mr. 01ney said they would first determine the solid waste projections for the County and then superimpose the effect of the City of Naples' projections upon them should it be desired to receive portions of the City's solid waste at the transfer station. Following this matter, Mr. Olney noted that an economic analysis would be performed to determine the type of equipment which would be required and, by working with County staff, tests would be made at the landfill site to ascert~in the foundation conditions and to choose the best 10cation on the site for the facility. Once the preliminary design report has been approved, said Mr. Olney, they will proceed with the final design, the pre~aration of the engineer's drawings, the contract documents, and project specifications, so that the County can advertise for construction bids. Mr. Biery concluded the presentation by displaying photos of representative projects which the firm as a whole, and as individuals, has been involved in, and left brochures of the firm's approach to the combined project, as wel1 as resumes of the individuals who would be involved in the project, for the Board's persual. ~,."\ 04 3 "c_ 225 B(.O~ O~3 f"~~ 2Z6 August 29, 1978 TRI-COUNTY ENGINEERING Mr. Ed Brownell, President of the firm, introduced the associates accompanying him who would be involved with him in the project, if the firm is selected; namely, W.T. Trotter of Greenleaf Telesca, Ron Jenkins, Project Engineer, and George Parks, Chief Engineer. Mr. Brownell noted that during the 15 year history of the firm, it has had experience in many fields, one of which is the Motor Vehicle Inspection stations in Miami, Florida. He said, if chosen, the firm could start work on the project immediately. By use of a flipchart, Mr. Brownell illustrated the organizational flowchart including the list of consultants who would be working with the firm on the project. Mr. Brownell provided brief descriptions of similar projects on which his firm has worked, noting that one member of the firm has made a nationwide study of the operating characteristics, costs, environmental problems, and the like, with regard to transfer stations. Mr. Brownell explained that his firm will be responsible for the architecture of the project, commenting that the firm has been recognized for its excellence in design as it relates to engineering projects. He said that the firm has an excellent track record with regard to maintenance of the client's bUdgets, stating that since his tenure with the firm, over $95,000,000 worth of final design work has been done and that with one exception the firm was within 10% of budgat limitation on each of the projects. Mr. Ron Jenkins stated that he would be responsible for the overall organization and management of the project until its completion. Hp. said that he would work closely with his counterpart in the County structure in the day-to-day decision-making process and the data-gathering which must be done. He said that the project, as seen by his firm, has two phases - feasibility study and conceptual design phase, and the production of the construction documents, specifications - . .. 4 L_I August 29, 1978 and drawings phase. He explained the implementation of each phase and what is involved in each of the two phases. Mr. Brownell stated that caLeful consideration would be given to the compatibility of the inspection station and the transfer station which is an important factor. Being a local concern, Mr. Brownell stated that they have a real interest and desire to render an important service to the community especially in the two areas under discussion which can be a cause of considerable citizen discomfort and reason for complaint by the citizens. Commissioner Wenzel inquired if there would be two firms involved with Mr. Brownell responding that Tri-County will do its own engineering nnd, in this particular project, it has entered into an agreement with Greenleaf Telesca for consulting services, noting that the latter firm is a specialist in this particular field, however., Tri-County would be completely responsible for the entire project. K~IS JAIN & ASSOCIATES Mr. Kris Jain, President of Xris Jain & Associates, reviewed briefly his background, noting that he was born in India but is now a citizen of the United States, including education, experience, and professional and local civic affiliations. He said that to complete the project under discussion a team of outstanding professionals has been put together both from the local area as well as outside the area. He said that the key consultant firm on the project would be Airan Environmental Consultants from Coral Gabl~s, Florida and introduced Dr. Airan to the Board with a statement as to his credentials, noting that Dr. Airan is a member of the National American Society of Civil Engineers - Solid Waste Management Committee. Other consultants who would work on the project, said Mr. Jain, are David Moyer, Architect, the firm of Leon Murray for electricall mechanical work, and Wilson, Miller, Barton, 8011 & Peek for site- testing and miscellaneous civil engineering work. He said that the BGC~ 043 Pl.~~ W Br.cK 0 43 fl.~: 228 August 29, 1978 team would ~ave a total strenqth of 13 professional engineers, two architects, and a combined experience of more than 100 years. Mr. Jain detailed the projects which are similar in nature to the County's which his firm has completed both for the solid waste facility as well as the transfer station. Locally, said Mr. Jain, the firm has recently completed the County's Satellite Service Buildin~ which he said has been designed for future expansion and noted that the building is functional, attractive, and economical with tho construction being wel1 within the engineering estimates. He said that by working on this project and other County projects, he has established an e'~cellent rapport with the County staff. By means of a series of Charts, drawings and schematic diagrams, Mr. Jain explained his proposal for the functional and operational aspects of both facilities, following which slides were projected on the screen showing various facilities in the southwest Florida area, and commented on various improvements which could be made to make the facilities and the space more functional. Dr. Airan also used slide projection to illuRtrate the various projects in which he has been involved - more than 30 in all - in the particular field beinq discussed and in other environmental fields. He noted that the subject project is not the first project in which his firm would be joining forces with Rris Jain & Associates. Dr. Airan further stated, with regard to the permitting requirements, that a concept can be designed which will meet the County's needs and will pose no problems with the State and other regulatory agencies. In conclusion, Mr. Jain stated that the project should be designed to take less volume but more daily traffic, that they do not have to be showcases, but more functional and economical. He distributed various material indicating the areas where the firm has been involved in including solid waste reports, and the like. ,---,. l_.-J August 29, 1978 Commissioner Wenzel, referring to the fact that there are several firms each doing a portion of the work, inquired if that is a betcer approach than ~ firm which would be doing everything in-house. Mr. Jain explained that, in his opinion and from experience, small firms can do quality work and keep prices down because of lower overhead, and the like. He stated that his firm will have the full responsibility and will be the prime consultant and project manager. Dr. Airan concurred, stating that his experience has shown that an outside firm which specializes in a particular field will "bend over backwards" to make changes in concepts while individuals in larger firms are less receptive to changes. WILLIAM G. TRACY Mr. William Tracy stated that he is an architect and has practiced hiR profession for the last 25 years in Collier County. He noted that he was not present to give a dissertation on solid waste disposal, stating that he is an architect and planner, and that he has consultants who are conversant on the subject of solid waste disposal, and mechanical consultants, who, in his opinion, are some of the best in the State. Mr. Tracy said that, basically, he was addressing the Board on the matter of designing the building, which is his expertise, and that he will be the project manager and coordinator. He observed that he has had the good fortune to have served the Board as consultant three different times in the past three years and is familiar with the staff and the procedures. Further, said Mr. Tracy, he id a local firm and is ready to proceed immediately on the project. In response to Chairman, Pistor, Mr. Tracy said that he would have the firm of Stanley Hole and Associates for the civil and structural engineering aspects of the project, and for the mechanical/electrical engineering he would have a Miami firm, Hufsey Nicolaides Associates, Inc., one of the largest in the state and who has performed consultant services for him on ~m 043 Ft.~:229 B~,C~ () 43 r~~~ Z3D August 29, 1978 projects in the County and, therefore, is familiar with the County. In surnma4Y, Mr. Tracy stated that, in his opinion, the project is a planning project and not particularly an engineering project. He said that he has never undertaken a projtict in the past, although new to him personally, that he could not solve within budget, time, and requirements.
