to ensure that, with respect to all utility construction performed, reliable and economical utility services
shall be provided to users of the potable water, non-potable irrigation water and/or wastewater systems
within Collierthe County. All requirements set forth herein are in conjunction with and supplemental to
the Collier County Land Development Code (the "LDC"), to the Collier County Growth Management
Plan and to such other applicable Collier County Ordinances, Resolutions and/or regulations as are
related to land development and/or subdivision of lands within Collierthe County. The pPublic uUtilities
dDepartment (the “PUD”) shall review deviations (see Utilities Standards Manual for Utility Deviation
Forms) from the standards and procedures established herein, which are brought about by innovative
applications of design principles/solutions to individual projects. Upon such review, the public
utilitiesPUD administrator Head or designee, at his or her discretion, may approve such deviations,
provided that such deviation shall not result in system/facility operation or maintenance performance
that is less than that which would be provided in this oOrdinance, if recognized, accepted standards
are used, and provided further that such deviation promotes, protects, and improves the health, safety
and welfare of the citizens of Collier County, Florida. Requested deviations from the requirements of
this oOrdinance shall be referred to the public utilities PUD administratorHead or designee(s). All
deviation requests must include an impact statement. Appeals to rejected deviation requests shall be
mailed sent to the pPublic uUtilities eEngineering and Project Management Division dDirector of the

(b) The Collier County Water-Sewer District (the “CCWSD” or the “District”), established in February
1977, by the Collier County bBoard of cCounty cCommissioners (the “BCC” or the “Board”), was
created for the following purposes:
(1) To develop safe, reliable and financially self-supporting potable water and wastewater systems,
which will meet the water and wastewater needs of Collierthe County;
(2) To ensure that existing and future potable water and/or wastewater utility systems are
constructed, operated and managed at the minimum cost to users and with no direct/indirect
financial aid from the general fund; and
(3) To develop potable water and/or wastewater systems requiring the most reasonable operating
and maintenance costs.
(c) Potable water specifications, non-potable irrigation water specifications, wastewaterDesign criteria,
technical specifications, and standard details are now included in the Collier County Utilities Standards

(Ord. No. 04-31, § 6; Ord. No. 07-60, § 1; Ord. No. 2018-36, § 1)
Sec. 134-57. - Policies and standards.
(a) Utility service: Availability of service from the dDistrict.
(1) As a requirement to developer's submittal of construction documents, developer shall obtain prior
written verification from the pPublic uUtilities dDepartment regarding service from the dDistrict,
which shall: (i) ascertain the current status of utility service from the dDistrict, if any; (ii) identify
restrictions, if any, of availability of such service(s); and (iii) provide pertinent facts regarding
location and availability of dDistrict's existing and/or then proposed dDistrict utility system(s). The
Public Utilities dDepartment shall respond in writing to all such requests.
(2) Service from the dDistrict not readily available. Service from the dDistrict is not "readily available"
except to the extent that the extension of the dDistrict's utility facilities is then a planned five-year
capital improvement program in the then current Collier County Water and/or Wastewater Master
Plan, and the respective plan's extension to the project site is planned to commence within five
years or less from the time of the inquiry from the developer to cCounty staff for such service(s).
If an extension of the dDistrict's facilities to the respective project is planned to commence within
five years according to the then applicable master plan, but the applicant desires that such then
planned time schedule be accelerated in time, the developer may negotiate a utility facilities
extension agreement with the dDistrict, (which agreement may include upsizing provisions.
(3) Development project extending its utility facilities to the dDistrict's system if connections to interim
facilities are not available. If the dDistrict's respective utility system does not have access "readily
available" to serve the respective project in the dDistrict's service area (as such service availability
is then specified in the respective master plan as described herein), extensions of the project's
utility facilities to the dDistrict's infrastructure will be required unless interim service is available
from another utility as specified below. No such extensions shall be any responsibility of the
cCounty or the dDistrict, fiscally and otherwise (time and schedule) and such facilities must be
dedicated to and accepted by the dDistrict at no cost to the dDistrict before any such respective
utility service from the dDistrict commences.
(4) Interim service provided by another utility service provider until dDistrict's facilities may become
available. If it is determined by the cCounty staff, in consultation with representatives of the project
desiring the utility service(s), that neither of the above-stated two alternatives (extension of the
project's utility facilities to the dDistrict's system, or a utility facilities extension agreement to
extend the dDistrict's facilities to the project earlier than contemplated in the then applicable
master plan) is feasible, only interim service from another utility (governmental, municipal or
private) can be authorized by the public utilitiesPUD administratorHead or designee by means of
agreement. The PUDutility administrator Head or designee on behalf of the dDistrict may
authorize the other utility to provide interim service to the project, in accord with paragraph 10 of
Section 5 of Chapter 2003-353, Laws of Florida, the dDistrict as a matter of that law cannot and
shall not approve any expansion of any permanent utility facilities from any such other utility or
utility service provider into or within the dDistrict's then existing service area. No such extension
shall be any responsibility of the cCounty or the dDistrict, fiscally and otherwise (time and
schedule). Each such interim service agreement (between the project and the other utility or utility
service provider) must be executed by the other utility or service provider, by authorized
representatives of the project to be served, by the dDistrict and by the bBoard.

(5) Interim utility facility. Provided (a) the project extending its utility facilities to the dDistrict's system
is not feasible, and (b) interim service from another utility or other service provider is not feasible,
and (c) a utility facilities extension agreement (Form 1) is not feasible, and provided the proposed
interim utility facility/system is then a lawful use at the project site (in accordance with the
cCounty's LDC and all applicable laws, oOrdinance, rules, regulations, and relevant written
agreements, if any), the project's representatives may apply to staff to request authorization for
an interim service facility/system by entering into an interim facility/system agreement (see
Standard Form 1, herein below). Each such service agreement must be executed by authorized
representatives of the project to be served by the interim utility facility, by the dDistrict and by the
bBoard.
(6) Adequate public facilities letter. In the event the proposed development is outside the service
area of the DistrictCCWSD, but within the then certificated service area of any another utility or
utility service provider, that utility or utility service provider shall submit an adequate public
facilities letter to GMD. That letter must prove that prompt availability of such service is available
to adequately provide the utility service(s) and must demonstrate that the entity can and will
provide service to the proposed development in accordance with Chapter 64E-6 F.A.C. for water
and wastewater service systems having a capacity not exceeding 10,000 GPD; also in accord
with Chapters 62-550 and 62-555 F.A.C. for water systems having a capacity of greater than
10,000 GPD, and/or with Chapter 62-600 F.A.C. for wastewater systems having a capacity of
greater than 10,000 GPD. The adequate public facilities letter must clearly describe the type and
capacity of the utility services that is available in accordance with the then existing standards in
Chapter 64E-6 F.A.C. or Chapter 62-600 F.A.C., as applicable, and must include all restrictions
or requirements the utility (or service provider) may have regarding the issuance of a binding
written commitment for such service(s) to the proposed project. In the event that potable water,
non-potable irrigation water and/or wastewater service is not readily available to fully serve the
proposed project, it shall be the developer's responsibility to extend and/or improve such service
so that such service(s) can be utilized, or clearly and fully detail the steps that will be taken to be
served with interim utility services. All F.A.C. provisions referred to herein that are renumbered
shall be fully applicable. Refer also to this article's definition of adequate public facilities letter,
which is incorporated herein. The GMD administrator or designee may require additional
information from the utility (or other service provider) in addition to the adequate public facilities
letter, whereby the utility (or other service provider) must prove to staff’s reasonable satisfaction
that the required service(s) are readily available and will be provided promptly. If requested by
staff, the other utility (or service provider), at no expense to the cCounty, shall promptly provide
staff with a capacity analysis report for such utility service(s), as well as such other additional
information as may be requested by staff. The burden of proof is on the utility or service provider.
(b) FDEP permits.
(1) With respect to development and/or release of FDEP construction permit applications from the
gGrowth mManagement dDepartment, written approval from the engineering review services
division director (county engineer)Development Review Division Director or designee of the utility
portion of the construction documents for the potable water, non-potable irrigation water and/or
wastewater system(s) or portion(s) thereof is mandatory before the cCounty or dDistrict executes
and releases applications for any required FDEP permits. Prior to commencement of construction,
FDEP permit must be issued. With respect to development of and/or construction activities for an
interim utility system, the development may obtain executed FDEP permit applications prior to
engineering review services division director (county engineer)Development Review Division
Director final written approval of construction documents. Under no circumstances shall
construction commence with regard to the interim utility system until the construction
commencement criteria in subsection 134-58(f) herein have been satisfied. With respect to those
service areas outside the DistrictCCWSD, copies of all approved FDEP construction and
operating permits shall be submitted to the cCounty or dDistrict immediately upon issuance and
receipt.

and/or wastewater system(s) or portion(s) thereof that will be conveyed to the District or
$10,000.00, whichever is greater. The developer shall submit the final acceptance obligations
cash bond and UPS withprior to final construction documentsrecording the plat. The UPS must
be approved by the Collier County Attorney's Office prior to commencement of utility
constructionrecording the plat. The final acceptance obligations cash bond shall be required, but
aA UPS is not required for the construction phase of a project, provided development is occurring
on private, non-subdivided property where the only water distribution, non-potable irrigation
water, and/or wastewater infrastructure to be conveyed to the District are service extensions to
the project boundary, provided the construction cost of said service extensions does not exceed
$100,000.00, or if the UPS has been previously provided to the County or District, pursuant to the
LDC requirements. Upon conveyance of utility system(s) or portion(s) thereof to the District, the
developer may request a reduction of the UPS for infrastructure installed and inspected to an
amount equal to ten percent of the cost of utility construction but not less than $10,000.00. , or if
the UPS has been previously provided to the county or district, pursuant to the LDC requirements.
A UPS shall be required on all projects during the guarantee or warranty period as described in
this ordinance. The final acceptance obligations cash bond is to reimburse the county or district
for any and all late fees and all direct and indirect expenses incurred by the county or district that
would not have been incurred if all duties and responsibilities had been promptly performed by

affidavit, all costs of final utility inspection(s), recording fees, one-year sewer viewer report, video,
costs of mailing or otherwise providing all notices, and emergency repairs and/or maintenance to
the respective utility system conducted by the county or district with regard to any such utility
facilities. The minimum amount of this final acceptance obligations cash bond can be changed
from time to time by summary agenda resolution(s) of the board of county commissioners. Staff
may summarily waive the UPS requirement when the utility facilities/systems are being
constructed by, or on behalf of, another governmental entity, such as, but not limited to, the Collier
County School Board, a fire district, the State of Florida or any agency thereof, or the Government
of the United States or any agency thereof.
(2) Upon preliminary conveyance of utility system(s) or portion(s) thereof to the county, the
developer may request a reduction in the UPS in an amount equal to ten percent of the probable
cost of utility construction for the required guarantee or warranty period. For completion of
system(s) or portion(s) thereof constructed on private, non-subdivided property, a ten percent
UPS shall be provided to, and accepted by, the county or district prior to preliminary final
acceptance of the completed utility system(s) or portion(s) thereof. Whenever reasonably
possible, the UPS amount shall be based on the actual bid price of the potable water, non -potable
irrigation water (where applicable) and/or wastewater system(s) or portion(s) thereof that will be
conveyed to the District. Whenever a bid price is utilized, a copy of the accepted bidder's proposal
form shall be submitted with the UPS. An opinion of probable construction cost signed and sealed
by a Florida licensed professional engineer will suffice when the actual bid price is not available.
The UPS shall be held by the cCounty or dDistrict until the end of the warranty period and shall
secure and cover the performance of the developer in construction and maintainingconstructing
the subject permitted potable water, non-potable irrigation water and/or wastewater additions,
extensions and/or improvements in accordance with the Manual. Acceptable UPS forms shall be
a performance bond, cash bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or escrow agreement. The UPS must
specify that the security shall not cease unless and until a year after the bBoard has finally
accepted the utility system(s) that are covered by the UPS. No other form of security will be
accepted unless a waiver of the requirements herein is granted by the bBoard. All surety
companies associated with a performance bond shall hold a current certificate of authority, as
issued by the tTreasury dDepartment, as an acceptable surety on federal bonds under an Act of
Congress approved July 30, 1947.

(1) Installation of all potable water, non-potable irrigation water and/or wastewater systems or
portion(s) thereof and/or connections to existing utility systems within the cCounty shall be
observed and inspected by qualified professional and technical personnel as deemed necessary
by the engineer of record. Construction observation and inspection is required to ensure that the
system(s) or portion(s) thereof accepted by the bBoard have been installed in accordance with
the cCounty staff approved construction drawings and technical specifications. Construction
observation and inspection is further necessary to ensure that the cCounty and the potable water,
non-potable irrigation water and/or wastewater dDistricts shall receive utility systems or portion(s)
thereof that require minimum capital expenditure for operation and maintenance.
(2) Under no circumstances will the cCounty or the dDistrict accept anything less than the following.
To assure proper laying and backfilling of utilities pipes and other underground utility facilities that
can be damaged by improper laying or backfilling, a minimum of one or a combination of the
following methods shall be utilized at the election of the entity doing the installation of the
respective facilities: (i) mechanical screening of native bedding and backfill material to a
compacted height of one foot above top of pipe, (ii) importing of select bedding and backfill
material to a compacted height of one foot above top of pipe, (iii) full-time inspection during laying
and backfilling to a compacted height of one foot above top of pipe, or (iv) certification by a
geotechnical engineer licensed to practice in the State of Florida that the native or existing soils
to be encountered during the construction of the underground utility will be suitable for use as
bedding and fill material. If full-time inspection is the chosen alternative, such inspection shall
consist of on-site inspection by a non-county-government-employee licensed professional
engineer and/or qualified inspector under the supervision of the professional engineer performed
(at no expense to the cCounty or dDistrict for private projects) during the installation (laying and
backfilling) of all potable water, or non-potable irrigation water and/or wastewater systems or
portion(s) thereof. Record drawings shall state which method was used to assure proper laying
and backfilling of material.
(b) Pre-construction meeting. Upon cCounty staff approval of a project's construction documents, and
prior to the commencement of construction, a pre-construction meeting shall be conducted pursuant
to the LDC. The pre-construction meeting shall be held in the offices of the cCounty or, if deemed
appropriate, at the office of the engineer of record. Representatives of the cCounty, the applicant(s),
the engineer of record, the utility companies, the contractor and the developer shall attend the pre-
construction meeting, unless waived by the cCounty staff. At the pre-construction meeting, a schedule
of construction activities and copies of all applicable state and federal permits shall be provided to the
cCounty representative(s). At least 48 hours written notice shall be provided for scheduling the pre-
construction meeting with the cCounty staff. Should any utility construction commence prior to the pre-
construction meeting, the cCounty staff shall have the right to require partial or full exposure of all

just cause for the issuance of a stop work order by the cCounty staff and the cCounty staff shall have
the right to require partial or full exposure of any related work which has been completed, in order to
observe, inspect, and verify that the utilities were installed in accordance with the approved
construction plans and technical specifications.
(d) Construction observation and inspection.
(1) General. Pursuant to the F.A.C., Chapter Rule 62-555.533, the construction of potable water
and/or wastewater system(s) or portion(s) thereof requires a professional engineer ("P.E.") to
certify that the construction was completed in accordance with the approved construction plans
and technical specifications. The certification must be based upon on-site observation of
construction; therefore, all potable water, non-potable irrigation water and/or wastewater systems
construction shall require on-site construction observation in compliance with the LDC and F.A.C.,
Chapter Rule 62-555.533, as may be amended hereafter. The construction observation shall be
performed by a P.E. licensed to practice in the State of Florida or a designated technical
representative under the P.E.'s direction.
The P.E.'s certification of construction compliance with cCounty staff approved construction
documents verifies that the potable water, non-potable irrigation water and/or wastewater
systems or portion(s) thereof have been constructed in accordance with record drawings. Refer
to section 134-60: Utilities conveyance procedures.
(2) Construction inspections by cCounty representatives.

(a) General. All utility facilities to be conveyed to the cCounty or dDistrict, at the time of conveyance to
the cCounty or the dDistrict must comply with this oOrdinance and with all then applicable standards
and specifications. Nothing in this oOrdinance requires that the cCounty or the dDistrict must accept
title to or any responsibility for any utility facility, including each interim facility or interim system, until
the facility or system has then received all proper permits/licenses from all applicable agencies prior
to and during the construction, expansion, repair and/or maintenance or completion of each such utility
facility or interim utility facility or interim system and the facility, interim facility and/or interim system,
then complies with all applicable rules and regulations of all federal, Florida and/or local regulatory
authorities or agencies, and of this oOrdinance, the utility standards mManual and all of the documents
then incorporated by reference in that mManual, and each such facility, interim facility and/or interim
system is not then under litigation, enforcement action, claims and/or liens prior to the transfer and/or
entering into a facilities agreement associated with the dDistrict or other independent district utility.
Subject to these requirements, potable water, non-potable irrigation water and/or wastewater systems
or portion(s) thereof, after pPublic uUtilities dDepartment approval (if applicable), shall be offered to
be conveyed to and accepted by the bBoard. The bBoard will accept title to the offered facilities unless
in the specific instance there exists good reason not to accept title to such facilities. Preliminary
acceptance shall, after public utilities department approval (if applicable), be granted by the growth
management department administrator or designee. Upon approval from the pPublic uUtilities
divisionDepartment, final acceptance of such facilities and/or system may be approved by the bBoard
(subsequent to the one year warranty period) and after all final acceptance obligations and
requirements have been complied with. All facilities and/or systems shall be located within a CUE,
District owned property, (or public right-of-way) if they are to be owned, operated and/or maintained
by the cCounty or the dDistrict. Neither the cCounty nor the dDistrict shall have no duty with regard to,
or any responsibility for, any utility facilities until title to such utility facilities has been finally accepted
by the bBoard. Notwithstanding that neither the cCounty nor the dDistrict has any duty with respect to
such facilities or systems, in the event that cCounty staff deems that due to necessity (emergency) the
cCounty or the dDistrict should expend money and/or perform labor to repair, replace, maintain,
relocate, remove or have a contractor or other entity perform any other similar activity with regard to
such utility facilities or system, the bBoard is authorized to record a claim of lien against the property,
site(s) or units(s) that were responsible for such utility facilities (or system) at the time the cCounty

(Ord. No. 04-31, § 6; Ord. No. 07-60, § 1; Ord. No. 2018-36, § 1)
Sec. 134-57. - Policies and standards.
(a) Utility service: Availability of service from the dDistrict.
(1) As a requirement to developer's submittal of construction documents, developer shall obtain prior
written verification from the pPublic uUtilities dDepartment regarding service from the dDistrict,
which shall: (i) ascertain the current status of utility service from the dDistrict, if any; (ii) identify
restrictions, if any, of availability of such service(s); and (iii) provide pertinent facts regarding
location and availability of dDistrict's existing and/or then proposed dDistrict utility system(s). The
Public Utilities dDepartment shall respond in writing to all such requests.
(2) Service from the dDistrict not readily available. Service from the dDistrict is not "readily available"
except to the extent that the extension of the dDistrict's utility facilities is then a planned five-year
capital improvement program in the then current Collier County Water and/or Wastewater Master
Plan, and the respective plan's extension to the project site is planned to commence within five
years or less from the time of the inquiry from the developer to cCounty staff for such service(s).
If an extension of the dDistrict's facilities to the respective project is planned to commence within
five years according to the then applicable master plan, but the applicant desires that such then
planned time schedule be accelerated in time, the developer may negotiate a utility facilities
extension agreement with the dDistrict, (which agreement may include upsizing provisions.
(3) Development project extending its utility facilities to the dDistrict's system if connections to interim
facilities are not available. If the dDistrict's respective utility system does not have access "readily
available" to serve the respective project in the dDistrict's service area (as such service availability
is then specified in the respective master plan as described herein), extensions of the project's
utility facilities to the dDistrict's infrastructure will be required unless interim service is available
from another utility as specified below. No such extensions shall be any responsibility of the
cCounty or the dDistrict, fiscally and otherwise (time and schedule) and such facilities must be
dedicated to and accepted by the dDistrict at no cost to the dDistrict before any such respective
utility service from the dDistrict commences.
(4) Interim service provided by another utility service provider until dDistrict's facilities may become
available. If it is determined by the cCounty staff, in consultation with representatives of the project
desiring the utility service(s), that neither of the above-stated two alternatives (extension of the
project's utility facilities to the dDistrict's system, or a utility facilities extension agreement to
extend the dDistrict's facilities to the project earlier than contemplated in the then applicable
master plan) is feasible, only interim service from another utility (governmental, municipal or
private) can be authorized by the public utilitiesPUD administratorHead or designee by means of
agreement. The PUDutility administrator Head or designee on behalf of the dDistrict may
authorize the other utility to provide interim service to the project, in accord with paragraph 10 of
Section 5 of Chapter 2003-353, Laws of Florida, the dDistrict as a matter of that law cannot and
shall not approve any expansion of any permanent utility facilities from any such other utility or
utility service provider into or within the dDistrict's then existing service area. No such extension
shall be any responsibility of the cCounty or the dDistrict, fiscally and otherwise (time and
schedule). Each such interim service agreement (between the project and the other utility or utility
service provider) must be executed by the other utility or service provider, by authorized
representatives of the project to be served, by the dDistrict and by the bBoard.

[19-EIS-04145/1504813/1] 13
(5) Interim utility facility. Provided (a) the project extending its utility facilities to the dDistrict's system
is not feasible, and (b) interim service from another utility or other service provider is not feasible,
and (c) a utility facilities extension agreement (Form 1) is not feasible, and provided the proposed
interim utility facility/system is then a lawful use at the project site (in accordance with the
cCounty's LDC and all applicable laws, oOrdinance, rules, regulations, and relevant written
agreements, if any), the project's representatives may apply to staff to request authorization for
an interim service facility/system by entering into an interim facility/system agreement (see
Standard Form 1, herein below). Each such service agreement must be executed by authorized
representatives of the project to be served by the interim utility facility, by the dDistrict and by the
bBoard.
(6) Adequate public facilities letter. In the event the proposed development is outside the service
area of the DistrictCCWSD, but within the then certificated service area of any another utility or
utility service provider, that utility or utility service provider shall submit an adequate public
facilities letter to GMD. That letter must prove that prompt availability of such service is available
to adequately provide the utility service(s) and must demonstrate that the entity can and will
provide service to the proposed development in accordance with Chapter 64E-6 F.A.C. for water
and wastewater service systems having a capacity not exceeding 10,000 GPD; also in accord
with Chapters 62-550 and 62-555 F.A.C. for water systems having a capacity of greater than
10,000 GPD, and/or with Chapter 62-600 F.A.C. for wastewater systems having a capacity of
greater than 10,000 GPD. The adequate public facilities letter must clearly describe the type and
capacity of the utility services that is available in accordance with the then existing standards in
Chapter 64E-6 F.A.C. or Chapter 62-600 F.A.C., as applicable, and must include all restrictions
or requirements the utility (or service provider) may have regarding the issuance of a binding
written commitment for such service(s) to the proposed project. In the event that potable water,
non-potable irrigation water and/or wastewater service is not readily available to fully serve the
proposed project, it shall be the developer's responsibility to extend and/or improve such service
so that such service(s) can be utilized, or clearly and fully detail the steps that will be taken to be
served with interim utility services. All F.A.C. provisions referred to herein that are renumbered
shall be fully applicable. Refer also to this article's definition of adequate public facilities letter,
which is incorporated herein. The GMD administrator or designee may require additional
information from the utility (or other service provider) in addition to the adequate public facilities
letter, whereby the utility (or other service provider) must prove to staff’s reasonable satisfaction
that the required service(s) are readily available and will be provided promptly. If requested by
staff, the other utility (or service provider), at no expense to the cCounty, shall promptly provide
staff with a capacity analysis report for such utility service(s), as well as such other additional
information as may be requested by staff. The burden of proof is on the utility or service provider.
(b) FDEP permits.
(1) With respect to development and/or release of FDEP construction permit applications from the
gGrowth mManagement dDepartment, written approval from the engineering review services
division director (county engineer)Development Review Division Director or designee of the utility
portion of the construction documents for the potable water, non-potable irrigation water and/or
wastewater system(s) or portion(s) thereof is mandatory before the cCounty or dDistrict executes
and releases applications for any required FDEP permits. Prior to commencement of construction,
FDEP permit must be issued. With respect to development of and/or construction activities for an
interim utility system, the development may obtain executed FDEP permit applications prior to
engineering review services division director (county engineer)Development Review Division
Director final written approval of construction documents. Under no circumstances shall
construction commence with regard to the interim utility system until the construction
commencement criteria in subsection 134-58(f) herein have been satisfied. With respect to those
service areas outside the DistrictCCWSD, copies of all approved FDEP construction and
operating permits shall be submitted to the cCounty or dDistrict immediately upon issuance and
receipt.

and/or wastewater system(s) or portion(s) thereof that will be conveyed to the District or
$10,000.00, whichever is greater. The developer shall submit the final acceptance obligations
cash bond and UPS withprior to final construction documentsrecording the plat. The UPS must
be approved by the Collier County Attorney's Office prior to commencement of utility
constructionrecording the plat. The final acceptance obligations cash bond shall be required, but
aA UPS is not required for the construction phase of a project, provided development is occurring
on private, non-subdivided property where the only water distribution, non-potable irrigation
water, and/or wastewater infrastructure to be conveyed to the District are service extensions to
the project boundary, provided the construction cost of said service extensions does not exceed
$100,000.00, or if the UPS has been previously provided to the County or District, pursuant to the
LDC requirements. Upon conveyance of utility system(s) or portion(s) thereof to the District, the
developer may request a reduction of the UPS for infrastructure installed and inspected to an
amount equal to ten percent of the cost of utility construction but not less than $10,000.00. , or if
the UPS has been previously provided to the county or district, pursuant to the LDC requirements.
A UPS shall be required on all projects during the guarantee or warranty period as described in
this ordinance. The final acceptance obligations cash bond is to reimburse the county or district
for any and all late fees and all direct and indirect expenses incurred by the county or district that
would not have been incurred if all duties and responsibilities had been promptly performed by
the responsible party as required by this ordinance, including, and not limited to, final attorney's
affidavit, all costs of final utility inspection(s), recording fees, one-year sewer viewer report, video,
costs of mailing or otherwise providing all notices, and emergency repairs and/or maintenance to
the respective utility system conducted by the county or district with regard to any such utility
facilities. The minimum amount of this final acceptance obligations cash bond can be changed
from time to time by summary agenda resolution(s) of the board of county commissioners. Staff
may summarily waive the UPS requirement when the utility facilities/systems are being
constructed by, or on behalf of, another governmental entity, such as, but not limited to, the Collier
County School Board, a fire district, the State of Florida or any agency thereof, or the Government
of the United States or any agency thereof.
(2) Upon preliminary conveyance of utility system(s) or portion(s) thereof to the county, the
developer may request a reduction in the UPS in an amount equal to ten percent of the probable
cost of utility construction for the required guarantee or warranty period. For completion of
system(s) or portion(s) thereof constructed on private, non-subdivided property, a ten percent
UPS shall be provided to, and accepted by, the county or district prior to preliminary final
acceptance of the completed utility system(s) or portion(s) thereof. Whenever reasonably
possible, the UPS amount shall be based on the actual bid price of the potable water, non -potable
irrigation water (where applicable) and/or wastewater system(s) or portion(s) thereof that will be
conveyed to the District. Whenever a bid price is utilized, a copy of the accepted bidder's proposal
form shall be submitted with the UPS. An opinion of probable construction cost signed and sealed
by a Florida licensed professional engineer will suffice when the actual bid price is not available.
The UPS shall be held by the cCounty or dDistrict until the end of the warranty period and shall
secure and cover the performance of the developer in construction and maintainingconstructing
the subject permitted potable water, non-potable irrigation water and/or wastewater additions,
extensions and/or improvements in accordance with the Manual. Acceptable UPS forms shall be
a performance bond, cash bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or escrow agreement. The UPS must
specify that the security shall not cease unless and until a year after the bBoard has finally
accepted the utility system(s) that are covered by the UPS. No other form of security will be
accepted unless a waiver of the requirements herein is granted by the bBoard. All surety
companies associated with a performance bond shall hold a current certificate of authority, as
issued by the tTreasury dDepartment, as an acceptable surety on federal bonds under an Act of
Congress approved July 30, 1947.

can be damaged by improper laying or backfilling, a minimum of one or a combination of the
following methods shall be utilized at the election of the entity doing the installation of the
respective facilities: (i) mechanical screening of native bedding and backfill material to a
compacted height of one foot above top of pipe, (ii) importing of select bedding and backfill
material to a compacted height of one foot above top of pipe, (iii) full-time inspection during laying
and backfilling to a compacted height of one foot above top of pipe, or (iv) certification by a
geotechnical engineer licensed to practice in the State of Florida that the native or existing soils
to be encountered during the construction of the underground utility will be suitable for use as
bedding and fill material. If full-time inspection is the chosen alternative, such inspection shall
consist of on-site inspection by a non-county-government-employee licensed professional
engineer and/or qualified inspector under the supervision of the professional engineer performed
(at no expense to the cCounty or dDistrict for private projects) during the installation (laying and
backfilling) of all potable water, or non-potable irrigation water and/or wastewater systems or
portion(s) thereof. Record drawings shall state which method was used to assure proper laying
and backfilling of material.
(b) Pre-construction meeting. Upon cCounty staff approval of a project's construction documents, and
prior to the commencement of construction, a pre-construction meeting shall be conducted pursuant
to the LDC. The pre-construction meeting shall be held in the offices of the cCounty or, if deemed
appropriate, at the office of the engineer of record. Representatives of the cCounty, the applicant(s),
the engineer of record, the utility companies, the contractor and the developer shall attend the pre-
construction meeting, unless waived by the cCounty staff. At the pre-construction meeting, a schedule
of construction activities and copies of all applicable state and federal permits shall be provided to the
cCounty representative(s). At least 48 hours written notice shall be provided for scheduling the pre-
construction meeting with the cCounty staff. Should any utility construction commence prior to the pre-

the right to require partial or full exposure of any related work which has been completed, in order to
observe, inspect, and verify that the utilities were installed in accordance with the approved
construction plans and technical specifications.
(d) Construction observation and inspection.
(1) General. Pursuant to the F.A.C., Chapter Rule 62-555.533, the construction of potable water
and/or wastewater system(s) or portion(s) thereof requires a professional engineer ("P.E.") to
certify that the construction was completed in accordance with the approved construction plans
and technical specifications. The certification must be based upon on-site observation of
construction; therefore, all potable water, non-potable irrigation water and/or wastewater systems
construction shall require on-site construction observation in compliance with the LDC and F.A.C.,
Chapter Rule 62-555.533, as may be amended hereafter. The construction observation shall be
performed by a P.E. licensed to practice in the State of Florida or a designated technical
representative under the P.E.'s direction.
The P.E.'s certification of construction compliance with cCounty staff approved construction
documents verifies that the potable water, non-potable irrigation water and/or wastewater
systems or portion(s) thereof have been constructed in accordance with record drawings. Refer
to section 134-60: Utilities conveyance procedures.
(2) Construction inspections by cCounty representatives.
a. Upon final written approval of construction documents by the cCounty staff, the engineer of
record shall be provided with a list of standard inspections that require the presence of a
cCounty representative. All required inspections shall be identified in the cCounty's staff's

sides of the street. The path will later become a
wide bike lane on both sides of the street with
a sidewalk (narrower than the shared path in
Concept 1) on the outside edges of both sides
of the street. Drivers, cyclists, and walkers will
all be separated from one another. Bike lanes
may be interrupted to accommodate right turn
lanes, bus pull os, or bus shelters.
