Agenda 10/22/2019 Item #16C 1 (Work Order - I-75 Alligator Alley Water Main Improvements )10/22/2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a $501,773.95 Work Order under Request for Quotation No. 14-6213-
133 for the “I-75 Alligator Alley Water Main Improvements Project,” to Quality Enterprises, USA,
Inc. (Project Number 70246).
OBJECTIVE: To meet demand, stay in compliance, and serve customers efficiently by providing a
compliant and reliable potable water system to Collier County Water-Sewer District (“CCWSD”)
customers.
CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed scope of work under Project No. 70246, the “I-75 Alligator Alley
Water Main Improvements Project” (hereafter, the “project”), is consistent with the FY2020 Budget
approved by the Board of County Commissioners on September 19, 2019.
The project includes: the addition of a 16-inch water main along Bedzel Drive from Davis Boulevard to
Bedzel Circle, the replacement of the existing water main on the south side of Bedzel Drive with a new
16-inch water main, and the addition of a new 16-inch water main along the western property boundary of
the proposed Edge 75 Apartments within a pending utility easement.
The project is being completed prior to the I-75 & 951 Utility Relocation project, which will include
relocating the existing water main to the FPL easement located east of 951 and abandoning the 48-inch
water main in 951. Currently the 48-inch water main serves the existing businesses in the northwest
quadrant of 951 and Davis Boulevard. The project will install a new water main on Bedzel Drive to
provide a secondary loop to serve the existing businesses. Once the 48-inch pipe is decommissioned as
part of a future Florida Department of Transportation I-75 & 951 Interchange Improvements project, the
existing businesses in the NW quadrant will not lose water service. Further, the new 16-inch water main
will provide additional fire flow and looping to the proposed Edge 75 Apartment complex once the 48-
inch line is decommissioned and will serve as a future transmission main connecting to Magnolia Pond
Drive when required.
The County posted Request for Quotation No. 14-6213-133, “I-75 Alligator Alley Water Main
Improvements Project,” on August 7, 2019, and distributed it to all contractors on the County’s Fixed-
Term Underground Utilities Contract No. 14-6213. Four of the six contractors on that contract submitted
quotations by the August 22, 2019 deadline, as summarized in the below table:

RE: Award Recommendation
I75/Alligator Alley Water Main Improvements
Dear Mr. Fandrich:
Q. Grady Minor & Associates, P.A. (GradyMinor) has completed our review of the quotes submitted
for the above referenced project and we are pleased to provide the following award recommendation.
The scope of the I75/Alligator Alley Water Main Improvements project includes the installation of a
water main along Bedzel Drive from Davis Boulevard to Bedzel Circle, and along Bedzel Circle to
Joyrose Place, and north along a Utility Easement on the western property boundary of the proposed
Edge 75 Apartments, a distance of approximately 1,600 linear feet. The project was bid to Collier
County’s library of underground contractors, and based on the bid tabulation (attached) Quality
Enterprises is the responsive and responsible low bidder with a bid amount of $501,773.95. The
project’s Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPCC) was $531,000, which was based on similar
recently bid projects located within Collier County.
Quality Enterprises is a local contractor with extensive experience with underground utility
construction within Collier County, including utility installations within existing neighborhoods.
Quality Enterprises is pre-qualified for this project per the Collier County Underground Contractor’s
Library.
Based on the above information, GradyMinor recommends Quality Enterprises be awarded the
I75/Alligator Alley Water Main Improvements project in the amount of $501,773.95
If you have any questions or request any additional information, please do not hesitate to give me a
