Agenda 07/13/2021 Item #17A (Amending the CCWSD Utilities Standards Manual)07/13/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution amending the Collier County Water-Sewer District’s
Utilities Standards Manual to improve the utility conveyance process (This is a companion Item to
17B).
OBJECTIVE: To update the Collier County Water-Sewer District Utilities Standards Manual (the
“Manual”) pursuant to proposed improvements to the standard utilities conveyance process.
CONSIDERATIONS: On May 11, 2004, under Agenda Item 8D, the Board of County Commissioners
(the “Board”), ex officio as the Governing Board of the Collier County Water -Sewer District (CCWSD),
adopted Collier County Ordinance No. 2004-31, the Collier County Utilities Standards and Procedures
Ordinance (the “Ordinance”). This document established standards and procedur es for the design,
construction, maintenance, and operation of safe and reliable potable water, non-potable irrigation water
and wastewater systems, including both public infrastructure and private development projects. It has
been previously amended by Ordinance Nos. 2006-48, 2007-60, and 2018-36 and by numerous
Resolutions amending the Collier County Water-Sewer District Utilities Standards Manual, which is
incorporated by reference into the Ordinance.
The companion item proposes changes to the Ordinance that would simplify and optimize the utilities
conveyance process by consolidating preliminary and final acceptance into a single step, thus avoiding
ambiguity in ownership and maintenance responsibility during the one-year warranty period and reducing
workload for both County staff and the developer while preserving high-quality and best-value utility
services to Collier County Public Utilities customers. This curtailed process follows staff discussions with
the Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC) Utilities Subcommittee (the “Subcommittee”)
dating back to 2015 and to a 2017 benchmarking study by Tetra Tech that was updated and expanded in
2019. The “one-step” process has been successfully tested over the past five years on dozens of small
projects that obtained deviation approval to skip preliminary acceptance and go directly to final
acceptance. Public Utilities Department, Growth Management Department, and County Attorney’s Office
staff collaborated on these changes and vetted them with the Subcommittee, which recognized the
proposed changes as being mutually beneficial to the County and the land development industry. At its
regular meeting on March 3, 2021, DSAC unanimously recommended approval of the proposed changes.
The Resolution to amend the Manual is included as Attachment 1 and proposes updating subsection 3.3 of
the design criteria, sections 330130.16 and 330502 of the technical specification, and the Utilities
Conveyance Checklist (Appendix D) for consistency with the companion Ordinance changes, with
additions underlined and deletions struck through.
The Resolution shall take effect upon the filing of the companion Ordinance (Agenda Item ID 16122)
with the State of Florida.
On June 22, 2021, under Agenda Item 16.C.1, the Board directed the County Attorney to advertise, and
bring back for a public hearing, a Resolution amending the Manual. A summary of the Resolution has
been advertised in the Naples Daily News pursuant to Sec. 134-61, Collier County Code of Laws. The
attached Resolution was on file with the Clerk of the Board for public review and inspection.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney’s Office, is
approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -DDP
