Collier County is an entitlement grantee and receives funds from the U.S. Department of Urban and Housing Development (HUD) through three (3) federal programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG). HUD requires the County complete a Five - Year Consolidated Plan that includes a housing assessment, market analysis and assessment of community development needs. The Consolidated Plan is meant to address the needs of low and moderate -income persons and families, including homeless individuals. It establishes the County's program priorities, goals and objectives for community development programs and sets the framework for subsequent one year action plans that describe specific activities that will be funded through the County's grant program. Collier County receives funds from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC), to administer the SHIP program. The SHIP program is governed by Chapter 420, Part VII, Florida Statutes and Rule Chapter 67-37 of the Florida Administrative Code. FHFC requires the County to complete a Three -Year Local Housing Plan (LHAP). The LHAP is meant to address the needs of extremely low, very low, low and moderate -income persons and families, including those with Special needs (420.9075(5), F.S.).

Immokalee is a walking community where walking should be a safe and convenient mode of transportation and recreation. In order to promote more walking and cycling activities, the CRA is requesting $250,000 to complete the design portion of this project. Immokalee's First Street (Immokalee Road) is a high traffic area for vehicles and pedestrians. The community recognized the need to improve roadway safety on this main corridor. In 2020, Q. Grady Minor & Associates, P.A (Grady Minor) was hired to provide professional services for future street lighting and pedestrian safety improvements along South First Street (from Main Street to School Road/Seminole Crossing Trail).

Printed By: Christie Betancourt on 211012022 9 of 29 MNeighborly Software According to the 2019 census, nearly 37.4% of this community lives below the poverty line. The First Street Pedestrian Safety Improvement Project will improve South First Street from Main Street to School Road/Seminole Crossing Trail. The design of this segment is within the Low Moderate Area (LMA). The First Street Pedestrian Safety Improvement Project is within Census Tract 112.04 and 112.05. The U.S. Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant have identified this area as a Low Mod Area (LMA). These Census Blocks show a high percentage of poverty rates and has a low/moderate income population. Population data was collected from 2019 U.S. Census data for the Census Designated Place (CDP) of Immokalee, as indicated within the boundary outlined on the map below. The Immokalee CDP had a total population of 25,855. See Exhibit 16 Immokalee Boundary. The Project will be consistent with two previous related studies/reports entitled (Exhibit 23) Immokalee Pedestrian Crosswalk Improvements Study, and The Immokalee Walkability Study (Exhibit 24). The First phase of this project (First Street Corridor Conceptual Plan) was funded by the Immokalee MSTU and was completed on 9.16.2021. Collier County Transportation Operations Department, in conjunction with the Immokalee Community Task Force, was tasked to study and identify the possible underlying causes for the high accident rates. The task force identified a concern with lack of sidewalks, obstructed intersection sight lines, not enough light and limited pedestrian visibility. This project will improve pedestrian and vehicular safety, provide aesthetics to create a unified community character, and improve the visibility and economic viability of existing and future businesses in the downtown area. See Exhibit 16 Immokalee Boundary Map (Community Redevelopment Area). ICRA's 2021 Annual Work Plan included the following Goal: Promote and improve walking as a safe and inviting mode of travel through a comprehensive walking program of pedestrian facilities. Vision: • Increase the safety of commuters walking or using transit to get to work. • Increase the safety of students walking to school or riding the bus. • Increase transit use in the community. • Foster strong public awareness about the rights and responsibilities of pedestrians. • Support walking as a recreational activity.

This proposed Project will be used to further implement the ICRA & MSTU Annual Goals. See Exhibit 22 — ICRA Annual Report. The Immokalee community area is designated a Rural Area of Opportunity (RAO). The benefits of being a designated RAO is that communities are given extra points on grants, they are eligible to receive waivers or reduction of match, they are priority assignments for REDI as well as to allow the Governor, acting through REDI, to waive criteria, requirements, or similar provisions of any economic development incentive. Incentives include, but are not limited to, the Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund Program, Quick Response Training Program, and Quick Response Training Program for participants in the welfare transition program, transportation projects, Brownfield redevelopment bonus refund, and the rural job tax credit program. The Immokalee community area is also designated a Promise Zone. The benefits of being a Promise Zone are listed below: • Preferences for certain competitive federal grant programs and technical assistance from participating federal agencies; • A federal liaison assigned to help designees navigate federal programs; • An opportunity to engage AmeriCorps VISTA members in the Promise Zone's work; and, • Promise Zone tax Incentives, if enacted by Congress. This project will greatly improve the functionality and aesthetics of the business district and residential areas while improving the quality of life in Immokalee. Both the Immokalee CRA and Immokalee Beautification MSTU Advisory Committees have worked long and hard with Collier County Alternate Transportation Department and Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Board to ensure that these improvements be carried through to completion to serve the community interests as a whole.

On behalf of Collier County Board of County Commissioner, as the duly authorized signatory for Collier County Board of County Commissioners, I agree to and accept the terms, specific limitations, and conditions expressed therein. The information contained in this proposal or any part thereof, including exhibits, schedules and other documents, delivered to the County are true, accurate and complete. This application includes all information necessary to ensure the statements therein do not, in whole or in part, misrepresent or mislead the County as to any material facts. By signing below, the undersigned acknowledges that he/she has read and understands the Certifications attached hereto and, if awarded funds, as applicable, the Applicant will be able to comply fully with the provisions of those Certifications and will be able to comply with all additional applicable federal, state and local requirements, including procurement and financial management. Applicant also acknowledges that if a funding recommendation is made for less than the full amount applied for, additional documentation including a revised budget, scope of work and proposed accomplishments may be requested prior to final funding determinations. The County reserves the right to verify that the authorized signature above is authorized to bind the Applicant (on behalf of the Organization) and may require the applicant to submit documentation verifying such authority. Since Sigh, Ojdre of Agency Representative Mark Isackson, County Manager Name and Title Exhibit 3 Acknowledgement of Religious Organization Requirements In accordance with the First Amendment of the United States Constitution "church/state principles," assistance may not, as a rule, be provided to primarily religious entities for any secular or religious activities. Therefore, the following restrictions and limitations apply to any provider which represents that it is, or may be deemed to be, a religious or denominational institution or an organization operated for religious purposes which is supervised or controlled by or operates in connection with a religious or denominational institution or organization. A religious entity that applies for and is awarded funds for public service activities must agree to the following: 1. It will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment based on religion and will not limit employment or give preference to persons on the basis of religion. 2. It will not discriminate against any person applying for such public services based on religion and will not limit such services or give preference to persons on the basis of religion. The organization may continue to carry out its mission, including the definition, practice and expression of its religious beliefs, provided it does not use direct federal funds to support any inherently religious activities. Among other things, faith -based organizations may use space in their facilities to provide federal funded services without removing religious art, icons, scriptures or other religious symbols. A federal funded religious organization retains its authority over its internal governance and may retain religious terms in its organization's name, select its board members on a religious basis, and include religious references in its organization's mission statements and other governing documents. 3. It may not engage in inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction or proselytization, as part of the programs or services funded under this part. If the organization conducts such activities, the activities must be offered separately, in time or location, from the programs or services. 4. Federal funds may not be used for the acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of structures to the extent that those structures are used for inherently religious activities. Sanctuaries, chapels, or other rooms that a federal funded religious congregation uses as its principal place of worship, however, are ineligible for federal funded improvements. 42 Acknowledgement of Religious Organization Requirements Page 2 I hereby acknowledge that I have read the specific requirements contained in this attachment and that eligibility of my organization's project depends upon compliance with the requirements contained in thisagreement.

Operating Divisions will seek the lowest quote obtained (based on quote identified unit or total price), from the responsive (submits all information requested, agrees to meet timeline, terms and conditions, etc.) and responsible (has references that check, current licenses, certifications, demonstrated years of experience with equipment and staff to perform the work, etc.) bidder. 14 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 Where Operating Division Staff are unsuccessful in securing three (3) comparable quotes, the Operating Division will seek the assistance of the Procurement Services Division, where it may be determined by the Procurement Services Division Director that a good faith effort was conducted and an award may be made with fewer than three (3) quotes. The Procurement Division may recommend that additional sourcing and soliciting are required by either the Operating Division Staff or by the Procurement Services Division Staff. A purchase shall not be artificially divided or split so as to qualify under this or any other section of this Procurement Manual. Operating Division staff should make all reasonable efforts to purchase goods and services under Board approved contracts. In the event a contract is not available, or staff demonstrates that the price under contract exceeds the price on a non -contract, Operating Division Staff will procure the highest quality items or services at the least expense to the County. Operating Division Staff who are requesting quotes are to conduct themselves in a fair and equitable fashion by providing the same information, under the same conditions, to all vendors in a fair and open competitive process. Once trained, Division Staff will utilize the County's electronic bidding platform to obtain quotes. Only the Procurement Services Division Staff may issue a qualification based solicitation. Final recommended award of any quote will be reviewed and approved by the Procurement Services Director or Designee. 11a. PROCUREMENT METHODS (PURCHASES IN EXCESS OF $50,000) The Board of County Commissioners established an amount of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) as the County's threshold for formal competitive solicitations to include Invitation to Bid (ITB), Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Professional Services (RPS), Invitation to Negotiate (ITN), Invitation for Qualifications (IFQ), and Reverse Auctions administered under the supervision of the Procurement Services Director. Award of any resulting agreements or contracts shall be made by the Board except where otherwise provided for in the Procurement Ordinance, Procurement Manual, or unless an exception is granted by the Board. The standard advertising period for all formal competitive solicitation methods is thirty (30) days. The advertising period may be modified by the Procurement Services Director should unusual circumstances require it. 15 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 All advertising will take place on the County adopted electronic bidding platform, and the County may make use of additional advertising platforms or publications as is deemed necessary by the Procurement Services Director. Invitation to Bid (ITB) Invitations to Bid (ITB) shall be issued by the Procurement Services Director with public announcement and competition. Any resulting contract shall be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder submitting the lowest or best overall bid which meets all specifications. A bid is the preferred method of solicitation when price is the prevailing basis of award. Details on the bid process and procedures will be contained within the ITB solicitation. In the event of a tie, selection will be determined based on random selection (coin toss) by the Procurement Services Director before at least three witnesses, or if Local Vendor Preference is a factor as described in SECTION FIFTEEN of the Procurement Ordinance, then the language in that section will prevail. Once a responsibility review is completed a Notice of Recommended Award (NORA) indicating the lowest responsive and responsible bidder being recommended for award will be posted on the Procurement bid platform. Request for Proposals (RFP) A Request for Proposal (RFP) shall be issued by the Procurement Services Director with public announcement and competition. Any resulting contract shall be awarded to the responsive and responsible proposer submitting the best proposal according to the criteria set forth in the solicitation. An RFP is the preferred method of solicitation when multiple factors are considered for the basis of award, and price may or may not be the prevailing factor. An RFP may be conducted in one or more steps and may involve oral presentation or demonstrations by the proposing vendors. At the conclusion of all steps which may include both scoring and ranking by an Evaluation Committee, the results including standardized score/rank sheets, meeting minutes, and audio recordings will be preserved by the Procurement Services staff member facilitating the Evaluation Committee proceedings. 16 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 In the event of a tie at final ranking, award shall be made to the proposer with the lower volume of work previously awarded. Volume of work shall be calculated based upon total dollars paid to the proposer in the twenty-four (24) months prior to the RFP submittal deadline. Payment information will be retrieved from the County's financial system of record. The tie breaking procedure is only applied in the final ranking step of the selection process. In the event a tie still exists, selection will be determined based on random selection by the Procurement Services Director before at least three (3) witnesses. Details on the request for proposal process and procedures will be contained within the RFP solicitation. A Notice of Recommended Award (NORA) indicating the final ranking order of the proposers will be posted on the Procurement Services bid platform and the County will then begin negotiations with the number one ranked firm. In the event the County is unsuccessful with the number one ranked firm it will publish a revised NORA indicating that it is initiating negotiations with the next firm in the rank order. Request for Professional Services (RPS) A Request for Professional Services (RPS) shall be issued by the Procurement Services Director to procure professional engineering, architectural, landscape architectural or surveying and mapping services in accordance with the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA), F.S. § 287.055. An RPS can be issued and awarded for either a Continuing Contract or for a Single Project as described in the statute. Note the Florida Statute provides standards for defining a project (Section 287.055 (2)(f) Florida Statutes). Award of a Request for Professional Services (RPS) can be for either a continuing contract or for a single project. Each RPS shall be awarded based upon the scoring criteria as set forth in the RPS solicitation document, to the responsive and responsible Proposer or Proposers who, in the sole opinion of the Evaluation Committee, is determined to be the most qualified to perform the work. The Evaluation Committee, whose composition is approved by the Procurement Services Director, will be comprised of voting members, that may have technical assistance from non -voting members, and have their committee activities facilitated by a member of the Procurement Services Division. The determination of award is made in two steps. First by the application of the numerical scoring points outlined in the 17 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 solicitation, using a standardized scoring form, to establish a "short listing" of the proposers. Short listing is then followed by oral presentations at which point the Evaluation Committee places the short- listed proposers in a final Rank Order of preference using a standardized ranking form. Ranking shall be determined without regard to the score established during the first evaluation. At the conclusion of both the scoring and ranking Evaluation Committee meetings, the results which may include standardized score/rank sheets, meeting minutes, and audio recordings will be preserved by the Procurement staff member facilitating the Evaluation Committee proceedings. In the event of a tie at final ranking, the order of ranking shall be determined based upon the proposer(s) with the lower volume of work previously awarded. Volume of work shall be calculated based upon total dollars paid to the proposer in the twenty-four months prior to the RPS submittal deadline. Payment information will be retrieved from the County's financial system of record. The tie breaking procedure is only applied in the final ranking step of the selection process. In the event a tie still exists, ranking will be determined based on random selection by the Procurement Services Director before at least three witnesses. A Notice of Recommended Award (NORA) indicating the final ranking order of the proposers will be posted on the Procurement bid platform and the County will begin negotiations with the number one ranked firm. In the event the County is unsuccessful with the number one ranked firm it will publish a revised NORA indicating that it is initiating negotiations with the next firm in the order ranked Professional Services Library The County will maintain a "Professional Services Library" as its repository for vendors under continuing contracts solicited under the provisions of F.S. 287.055 Section 2 (g) ("continuing contracts"). The Library is used to award work assignments for professional engineering, architectural, landscape architectural and mapping & surveying services on an on -going basis through the use of continuing contracts. The Professional Services Library must be used if the services needed are included in the professional services library and the resulting construction costs or study costs meet the requirements of F.S. 287.055. If the services are not included in the professional services library, Purchasing will issue a formal solicitation, or pursue services as outlined in F.S. 287.055 as determined by the Procurement Services Director. 18 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 Collier County reserves the right to confirm a firm's qualifications in order to remain in the Library for each Service Category. Firms unable to meet minimum qualifications may be removed from the Service Category. All professional services for work defined per Section 287.055 estimated to cost equal to or in excess of the category amounts per Section 287.017, Florida Statutes must be solicited through a standalone formal Request for Professional Services for that single project. Use of a Continuing Contract is not allowed. A. Professional Services Library Rotation 1. Work assignments within each service category are awarded on a rotational basis by the Procurement Division. 2. For each service category, the Procurement Division will place qualifying firms in the Professional Services Library in the order they are ranked, with the highest scoring firm placed in the first position in the rotation. 3. As each work assignment is identified the next firm in the rotation will be offered the opportunity to negotiate that work assignment with the County's Administrative Agent. 4. Should a firm decline a work assignment, or be unable to reach a satisfactory fee negotiation with the County within a reasonable time frame, the County will contact the next firm on the list until the work assignment is successfully negotiated. 5. Firms will have the option of rejecting one work assignment within each service category within a twelve (12) month period without penalty. A second work assignment rejection within any twelve (12) month period will cause the firm to be skipped in the rotation. A firm who rejects three (3) work assignments (or is unable to satisfactorily negotiate 3 work assignments) in any twelve (12) month period may be removed from the service category at the direction of the Procurement Services Division Director. 6. Firms wishing to reject a work assignment for any reason must complete a Work Assignment Rejection Notification Form. A copy of this completed form must be provided to the Procurement Division by the County's Administrative Agent. 7. Once a full rotation through all firms in a service category is complete, a method that attempts to impart an equitable distribution of work among selected firms will be based on prior dollars awarded; with the firm having received the least amount of dollars being considered for the next work assignment. B. Professional Services Library - Direct Selection For work assignments requiring unique experience or knowledge, including past experience on another phase of the project, the County project manager may formally request permission to forego the rotation and select a specific firm. This request will require the completion of a Work Assignment Direct Select Form, which requires the approval of both a Division Director and the Procurement Services Director. Firms that are directly selected for a work assignment as a result of this process shall be passed on their next scheduled turn in the rotation. 19 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 The professional services library content for each service category is posted on the Procurement Services Division web site. Procurements for the design and construction (Design -Build) of public construction projects may be obtained through a single contract with a design -build firm selected in a manner permitted under F.S. § 287.055 and the procedures set forth in this section. Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) An Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) shall be issued by the Procurement Services Director with public announcement and competition. An ITN is used when it is determined beneficial to issue a written solicitation for competitive sealed replies to select one or more vendors with which to conduct negotiations. Details on the Invitation to Negotiate process and procedures will be contained in the ITN solicitation. The ITN will generally follow the procedure outlined for an RFP. Invitation for Qualifications (IFQ) An Invitation for Qualifications (IFQ) shall be issued by the Procurement Services Director when it is in Collier County's best interest to first establish a qualified pool of vendors, to limit participation in a subsequent solicitation process to those qualified bidders, proposers or offerors who demonstrate a capability to provide the goods and services required by the Collier County. An IFQ may also be issued when qualifications are the only criteria. The process of selecting a vendor when using the IFQ process will utilize a selection committee in a single or multi -step process to evaluate proposals based on qualifications, experience, past performance, references and credentials. Details on the Invitation for Qualifications process and procedures will be contained in the IFQ solicitation. Reverse Auctions A Reverse Auction shall be issued by the Procurement Services Director when it is deemed to be the most efficient means of obtaining the best price through open competition. A Reverse Auction shall utilize a third -party auction service selected by the Procurement Services Division Director and be based on a public bidding process where the offerors bid down the pricing over a set time frame, with the award going to lowest bid received from a responsive and responsible offeror. 20 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 The offerors may come from a pre -qualified pool of participants screened by the 3rd party auctioneer, or may come from the open market; based on the nature of the purchase and the recommendation of the auctioneer. 11 b. OTHER PROCUREMENT METHODS Cooperative Purchasing 1) Piggybacking The Procurement Services Director shall have the authority to procure goods or services from vendors who have been selected, as a result of a competitive selection process by a federal, state or municipal government, or any other governmental agency, political subdivision, or government -related association, provided that the originating entity utilized a competitive process similar to Collier County's. The Procurement Services Director shall annually bring forward to the Board of County Commissioners a list of recommended cooperatives for Board consideration. The Board will annually establish, through a separate authorization (Executive Summary), the approval authority for the use of these Cooperative Purchasing Agreements. The Procurement Services Director may also consider other agencies and consortiums outside of the list presented annually to the Board, for piggy backing when it best meets the needs of the County. The operating division seeking to utilize a Cooperative Agreement shall complete a Cooperative/Consortium Agreement Form along with required supporting documentation as indicated on the form and forward to the Procurement Services Division for review. The Cooperative/Consortium Agreement Form is available on the Procurement Services Division website. For purchases made using Board approved cooperative or government contracts, a requisition is entered referencing the Board approved Executive Summary, the approved Cooperative/Consortium Agreement Form, and any supporting quote or contract documentation by the operating division. As long as there is sufficient documentation, no additional action will be required. 21 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 Use of cooperative or governmental contracts which have not been Board approved that are within the informal competitive threshold must be approved in advance by the Procurement Services Director. Attachments to the requisition may include Cooperative Governmental / Consortium Agreement form, quote information, bid tabulation or selection scoring/ranking, prices, contract, etc. Purchases using cooperative or governmental contracts which have not been Board approved that exceed the formal competitive threshold will be submitted to the Board on an executive summary prepared by the operating division. 2) Consolidated Joint Purchasing The Procurement Services Director shall have the authority to join with other government entities and consortiums in cooperative purchasing ventures when in the best interest of Collier County. This can be accomplished by acting as the lead agency on a solicitation, or by participating in a solicitation issued by another agency. Requests for Information (RFI) An RFI shall be issued by the Procurement Services Director when it is in Collier County's best interest to request information from potential vendors prior to the issuance of a planned solicitation. An RFI is used to collect comments and obtain inputs from the market place. Emergency Procurements An Emergency Procurement may be used in the event of an unexpected and urgent need where health and safety or the conservation of public resources is at risk, or during Board absences (all efforts should be made to obtain Board approval prior to anticipated recesses), using such competition as is practical under the circumstances, as follows: a) Following a declaration of the existence of an emergency situation by the County, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners or their designee may declare the existence of an emergency procurement condition and may suspend any or all of the provisions of this article and authorize an emergency procurement. b) The Collier County Manager or designee, on a case by case basis may approve an emergency purchase based upon the Procurement Services Director's good faith review of the available sources that may timely respond to the urgent need for 22 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 goods and services and the documentation of the emergency conditions related to that purchase. Upon written determination, utilizing the Emergency Procurement Request Form, and approval of the Collier County Manager, the emergency purchase may be made. The Collier County Manager will report to the Collier County Board of County Commissioners all such emergency procurements at the next available Board meeting. c) This section in no way constrains the provisions of Collier County's Civil Emergency powers and authority pursuant to F.S. ch. 252, Emergency Management. d) An Emergency Procurement is not to be confused with exercising after hour, overtime, holiday or week -end rate provisions contained in existing agreements to address critical needs. e) An Emergency Procurement is action taken outside of the competitive requirements described in both the Procurement Ordinance and Procurement Manual. Single and Sole Source Procurements Either a Single or Sole Source Procurement may be issued by the Procurement Services Division Director after the requesting department/division submits to the Procurement Services Division a completed Single or Sole Source Request Form. (1) Single Sourcing; is a procurement decision whereby purchases are directed to one source because of standardization, warranty, or other factors, even though other competitive sources may be available. (2) Sole Source Procurement; is a selection of one particular supplier to the exclusion of all others. This decision may be based on lack of competition, proprietary technology, copyright, warranty or a supplier's unique capability. 23 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 In the event that the request for either a sole or single source cannot be granted, the Procurement Services Division Director will direct the requestor to work with Procurement Staff and utilize an alternative acquisition method. 12. RESERVED RIGHTS Collier County reserves the right in any solicitation to accept or reject any or all bids, proposals or offers; to waive minor irregularities and technicalities; or to request resubmission. Also, Collier County reserves the right to accept all or any part of any bid, proposal, or offer, and to increase or decrease quantities to meet additional or reduced requirements of Collier County. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, if none or only one responsive and responsible bid or proposal is received following any solicitation, the Procurement Services Division Director, reserves the right to reject all bids, proposals or offers and to negotiate with any responsible providers to secure the best terms and conditions in the sole interest of the County unless otherwise provided by law. Rejection of Bids and Negotiation: a. The Procurement Services Director shall have authority to review all submittals in response to a County solicitation and to review these submittals for responsiveness, responsibility, price and other factors in making a determination for Recommendation of Award. The Procurement Services Director may reject any submittal and cancel any solicitation at any time prior to a contract being signed. The Board of County Commissioners shall have the authority to reject any and all bids at any time. b. If the lowest, responsive bid exceeds the budgeted amount and, if the purchase is not funded in whole or in part with interagency grant dollars, the Procurement Services Director may negotiate changes with the apparent lowest responsible and responsive bidder that will bring prices into budgeted limits subject to the final approval and acceptance of the Board. If the budgeted amount includes grant funds, the Procurement Services Director shall be authorized to conduct such negotiations provided said actions are not prohibited by law or the grant conditions. 24 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 All Notices of Recommended Award will be generated and posted by the Procurement Services Director prior to presentation of any contract for signature by the Board of County Commissioners. 13. UNSOLICTED PROPOSALS The Board incorporates by reference F.S. § 255.065, as may be amended from time to time, which addresses the procurement of services for qualifying projects through public -private partnerships, including through an offer of an unsolicited proposal. The Board shall by separate Resolution (Resolution No. 2016-85) establish all Application Fees referenced under F.S. § 255.065 that a private entity must pay concurrent with the submission of an unsolicited proposal. Payment shall be made by cash, cashier's check, or some other non -cancellable instrument. Personal checks shall not be accepted. The current Resolution sets a fee structure that shall include with any proposal submission a base application fee in the amount of .001 of the proposed project cost but not less than the sum of $10,000.00. To the extent that the cost to evaluate an unsolicited proposal is more than the Initial Application Fee adopted by Resolution, the County may request payment of any additional amounts required to conduct its review as provided in F.S. § 255.065. If the costs of processing, reviewing and evaluating, attorney fees, financial or technical adviser fees, or other consultant fees required to properly evaluate an unsolicited proposal exceed the base application fee, then the Procurement Services Director is authorized to charge a supplemental fee as long as no such supplemental fee exceeds an additional $10,000 without further authorization from the Board. 14. SMALL AND DISADVANTAGED MINORITY AND WOMEN BUSINESS ENTERPRISES 1. Policy Statement: Collier County stands committed to providing equal opportunities to small businesses and disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), minority business enterprises (MBEs) and women business enterprises (WBEs) as well as to all vendors, consultants, contractors and subcontractors who seek to do business with the County. Pursuant to this policy, Collier County encourages its vendors, consultants, contractors and subcontractors to provide qualified small businesses and DBE's with an equal 25 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 opportunity to participate in the formal competitive processes for the procurement of commodities and services by the County. The Policy is not intended to require or to allow partiality toward or discrimination against any small business or DBE, MBE, WBE, or any other vendor, consultant, contractor or subcontractor on the basis of gender, race or national origin, or other such factors, but rather to create an opportunity for small businesses and DBEs, MBEs, WBEs, and all qualified vendors, consultants, contractors and subcontractors to participate in the County's formal competitive processes. Nothing in this Policy shall be construed to provide for or require any preference or set -aside based on gender, race, national origin or any other such factor. 2. Implementing Measures: In an effort to implement this policy, the County may undertake the following measures: a. Designate the Procurement Services Director to administer this policy. b. Utilize outreach programs to identify, register and educate small businesses and DBEs, MBEs and WBEs to participate in the procurement/contract process which may include: (1) Attending trade fairs which include representatives from these enterprises. (2) Attending meetings and social events wherein these enterprises are present. (3) Utilizing publications aimed at reaching these enterprises. (4) Utilizing Purchasing Directories and other reference sources that list these enterprises. (5) Publicizing this Policy to encourage these enterprises to participate in the County's procurement process. (6) Other actions designed to identify opportunities for these enterprises who seek to provide commodities and services to the County. C. Maintain a list of these enterprises. d. Disseminate information regarding competitive opportunities with the County in order to allow qualified small businesses and DBEs, MBEs and WBEs to participate in the County's procurement process. 26 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 3. Conformity with Applicable Law: The provisions of this section shall be construed in conformity with applicable state and federal law. To the extent that state law conflicts with federal law, federal law shall supersede such state law. 15. PROCEDURE TO PROVIDE PREFERENCE TO LOCAL BUSINESS IN COUNTY CONTRACTS Except where otherwise provided by federal or state law or other funding source restrictions or as otherwise set forth in this Procurement Ordinance, purchases of commodities and services shall give preference to local businesses in the following manner: 1. "Local Business" defined. Local business means the vendor has a current Business Tax Receipt issued by the Collier County Tax Collector for at least one year prior to bid or proposal submission to do business within Collier County, and that identifies the business with a permanent physical business address located within the limits of Collier County from which the vendor's staff operates and performs business in an area zoned for the conduct of such business. A Post Office Box or a facility that receives mail, or a non -permanent structure such as a construction trailer, storage shed, or other non -permanent structure shall not be used for the purpose of establishing said physical address. In addition to the foregoing, a vendor shall not be considered a "local business" unless it contributes to the economic development and well-being of Collier County in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not be limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, support and increase to the County's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business within Collier County. Vendors shall affirm in writing their compliance with the foregoing at the time of submitting their bid or proposal to be eligible for consideration as a "local business" under this section. A vendor who misrepresents the Local Preference status of its firm in a proposal or bid submitted to the County will lose the privilege to claim Local Preference status for a period of up to one year. 2. Preference in purchase of commodities and services by means of competitive bid, request for proposals, qualifications or other submittals and competitive negotiation and selection. Under any such applicable solicitation, bidders/proposers desiring to receive local preference will be invited and required to affirmatively state and provide documentation as set forth in the solicitation in support of their status as a local 27 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 business. Any bidder/proposer who fails to submit sufficient documentation with their bid/proposal offer shall not be granted local preference consideration for the purposes of that specific contract award. Except where federal or State law, or any other funding source, mandates to the contrary, Collier County and its agencies and instrumentalities, will give preference to local businesses in the following manner: a. Competitive bid (local price match option). Each formal competitive bid solicitation shall clearly identify how the price order of the bids received will be evaluated and determined. When a responsible and responsive, non -local business submits the lowest price bid, and the bid submitted by one or more responsible and responsive local businesses is within ten percent of the price submitted by the non -local business, then the local business with the apparent lowest bid offer (i.e., the lowest local bidder) shall have the opportunity to submit an offer to match the price(s), less one (1) dollar, offered by the overall lowest, responsible and responsive bidder. In such instances, staff shall first verify if the lowest non -local bidder and the lowest local bidder are in fact responsible and responsive bidders. Next, the Procurement Services Division shall determine if the lowest local bidder meets the requirements of F.S. § 287.087 (Preferences to businesses with drug -free workplace programs). If the lowest local bidder meets the requirements of F.S. § 287.087, the Procurement Services Division shall invite the lowest local bidder to submit a matching offer, less one (1) dollar, within five (5) business days thereafter. If the lowest local bidder submits an offer that fully matches the lowest bid, less one (1) dollar, from the lowest non -local bidder tendered previously, then award shall be made to the local bidder. If the lowest local bidder declines or is unable to match the lowest non -local bid price(s), then award will be made to the lowest overall responsible and responsive bidder. If the lowest local bidder does not meet the requirement of F.S. § 287.087, and the lowest non -local bidder does, award will be made to the bidder that meets the requirements of the reference State law. b. Request for proposals, qualifications or other submittals and competitive negotiation and selection. For all purchases of commodities and services procured through the Competitive Proposals or Competitive Selection and Negotiation methods not otherwise exempt from this local preference section, the RFP solicitation shall include a weighted criterion for local preference that 28 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 equals 10 percent of the total points in the evaluation criteria published in the solicitation. Purchases of professional services as defined and subject to F.S. § 287.055 and audit and accounting services subject to F.S. § 11.45 shall not be subject to this local preference section. C. Should a tie bid occur between a non -local bidder and a local bidder, the County shall award the contract to the local bidder. Should a tie occur between two local bidders, the County will "flip a coin" in front of three (3) witnesses, between the two lowest bidders. The coin toss winner will be awarded the contract upon approval by the Board of County Commissioners. 3. Waiver of the application of local preference. The application of Local Preference to a particular purchase or contract may be waived upon approval of the Board of County Commissioners, or as identified where exempt from competitive process in SECTION EIGHT. 4. Comparison of qualifications. The preferences established herein in no way prohibit the right of the Board of County Commissioners to compare quality of materials proposed for purchase and compare qualifications, character, responsibility and fitness of all persons, firms or corporations submitting bids or proposals. Further, the preferences established herein in no way prohibit the right of the County Commission from giving any other preference permitted by law instead of the preferences granted herein. 5. Reciprocity. In the event Lee County, or any other Florida county or municipality ("local government") deemed appropriate by the Collier County Board of Commissioners, extends preferences to local businesses, Collier County may enter into an inter -local agreement with such local government wherein the preferences of this section may be extended and made available to vendors that have a valid occupational license issued by that specific local government to do business in that local government that authorizes the vendor to provide the commodities and services to be purchased, and a physical business address located within the limits of that local government. Post Office Boxes are not verifiable and shall not be used for the purpose of establishing said physical address. In addition to the foregoing, a vendor shall not be considered a "local business" unless it contributes to the economic development and well-being of the said local government whichever is applicable, in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not be limited to, the retention and expansion of 29 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 employment opportunities, the support and increase to that local government's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business located within the limits of that local government. Vendors shall affirm in writing their compliance with the foregoing at the time of submitting their bid or proposal to be eligible for consideration as a "local business" under this section. In no event shall the amount of the preference accorded other local government firms exceed the amount of preference that such local government extends to Collier County firms competing for its contracts. 6. Purview and administration of this Local Preference Policy. This policy shall apply to all departments and units under the direct purview of the Board of County Commissioners. For purchases of $50,000.00 or less, the Procurement Services Division shall systematically encourage departments to include local vendors when soliciting quotations in accordance with this policy. 7. This Policy shall not be utilized with respect to any competitive solicitation for construction services in which 50 percent or more of the cost will be paid from state - appropriated funds which have been appropriated at the time of the competitive solicitation. 16. PAYMENT OF INVOICES 1. Agencies under the purview of the Board of County Commissioners shall be in compliance with F.S. § 218.70, otherwise known as the "Local Government Prompt Payment Act." Pursuant to this, the requirements of this section shall apply to the following transactions: a. The purchase of commodities and services; b. The purchase or lease of personal property; C. The lease of real property. 2. Should the County Manager intend to authorize minor payment variances between the purchase orders and invoices, this authority to pay such variances shall not exceed 5% of the purchase order amount or $500, whichever is less. All such variances need to be identified on the modified purchase order and are subject to approval by Procurement Services. 30 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 3. The County Manager or designee, may pay freight and delivery charges not in compliance with the FOB destination terms contained in the County General Terms and Conditions as an exception. 4. It shall be the responsibility of the County Manager, in consultation with the Clerk's Finance Director and operating Divisions, to establish, procedures for the timely payment of all transactions as defined under subsection 16.1. Such procedures shall be contained in a separate Standard Operating Procedure and include, but are not limited to the following: a. Formally defining the County's requirements for the content and submission of a proper invoice, codifying the County's payment requirements and notifying each vendor of their availability. b. Steps required for the receipt of all invoices and the prompt return of improper invoices. C. Steps required for the resolution of payment disputes between the County and a vendor. 5. Vendor Payment Dispute Resolution Process. The purpose of this section is to establish a procedure whereby payment disputes with vendors who provide goods and services to the County are resolved in a timely manner and in keeping with the Local Government Prompt Payment Act. a. Definitions. The definitions set forth in the Local Government Prompt Payment Act (F.S. § 218.72, 2016) are hereby incorporated by reference. b. If an improper payment request or invoice is submitted by a vendor, the County shall, within 10 days after the improper payment request or invoice is received, notify the vendor, in writing, that the payment request or invoice is improper and indicate what corrective action on the part of the vendor is needed to make the payment request or invoice proper. C. If the parties are unable to reach resolution on the payment dispute, the County Manager shall appoint a Hearing Examiner, to whom the matter will be referred to. The Hearing Examiner shall have the sole and full authority to thereafter resolve the dispute. The proceedings before the Hearing Examiner to resolve the dispute shall commence within 45 days after the date the payment request or improper invoice was received by the County and shall be concluded with 31 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 final written decision by the Hearing Examiner within 60 days after the date the payment request or improper invoice was received by the County. These proceedings are not subject to F.S. ch. 120, and do not constitute an administrative hearing.

All other Contract Bonds, as required, must be provided prior to any Board approval of a contract. The bond will be included as part of the Purchase Order requisition. 20.2. Insurance. Evidence of insurance is required of contractors to protect County assets, County employees and the public from losses for property damage, bodily injury, loss of use, business interruption and financial loss. The amount of insurance coverage required for each contract will be specified by the County's Risk Management Division. Insurance certificates will be required and reviewed by Risk prior to the approval of any contract. During the life of the contract, the Contractor is required to maintain all the specified insurance requirements. 21. UNAUTHORIZED PURCHASES All purchases made shall be consistent and in compliance with the Procurement Ordinance. Any purchase or contract made contrary to the provisions hereof and contrary to Florida law shall not be approved and the County shall not be bound thereby.

If a determination is made to proceed with the purchase, the purchase will be evaluated based on purchasing thresholds. The Procurement Services Director may approve the purchase if the value is less than the Formal Competitive Threshold. If the purchase value exceeds the formal competitive threshold, the Operating Division Director will create an Executive Summary for final Board review and approval. Should work be authorized or purchases made not in conformance with County Policy, an After -the - Fact Procurement Form is required. This includes purchases made in advance of a Purchase Order, when a Purchase Order is required to authorize such activity, and purchases made under an expired contract, or for goods and services not covered by the current contract or purchase order. All such "After the Fact Procurements" will be reported to the County Manager. All employees making purchases not in conformance with the Procurement Ordinance and Procurement Manual are subject to the provisions of CMA 5311.1 - 2 Standards of Conduct, and the Ethical Standards outlined in Section 7 of this Manual. Failure or refusal to abide by the administrative procedures or business operations procedures contained within the Procurement Ordinance and the Procurement Manual subject the employee to the Human Resources Practices and Procedures which may lead to disciplinary action up to and including discharge. 22. PROHIBITION AGAINST SUBDIVISION No contract or purchase shall be subdivided to avoid seeking the proper approval from the designated authority, or to avoid the requirements of this Procurement Ordinance or of Federal or State law. 23. PROTESTS The purpose of this section is to accommodate legitimate protests concerning formal competitive solicitations and recommended contract awards prior to award of a contract by the Board of County Commissioners. 51 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 1.

With respect to a protest of the terms, conditions and specifications contained in a solicitation, including any provisions governing the methods for evaluation of bids, proposals or replies, awarding contracts, reserving rights for further negotiation or modifying or amending any contract, the protesting party shall file a notice of intent to protest within three (3) days, excluding weekends and County holidays, after the first publication, whether by posting or formal advertisement of the solicitation. The formal written protest shall be filed within five (5) days of the date the notice of intent is filed. Formal protests of the terms, conditions and specifications shall contain all of the information required for the Procurement Services Director, to render a decision on the formal protest and determine whether postponement of the bid opening or proposal/response closing time is appropriate. The Procurement Services Director's decision shall be considered final and conclusive unless the protesting party files an appeal of the Procurement Services Director's decision. 3. Any actual bidder or respondent who desires to protest a recommended contract award shall submit a notice of intent to protest to the Procurement Services Director within three (3) calendar days, excluding weekends and County holidays, from the date of the initial posting of the Notice of Recommended Award. 4. All formal protests with respect to a recommended contract award shall be submitted in writing to the Procurement Services Director for a decision. Said protests shall be submitted within five (5) calendar days, excluding weekends and County holidays, from the date that the notice of intent to protest is received by the Procurement Services Director, and accompanied by the fee, as set forth below. The protesting party must have standing as defined by established Florida case law to maintain a protest. The formal protest shall contain, but not be limited to the following information: a. Name and address of County Agency affected and the solicitation number and title. b. The name and address of the protesting party. 52 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 C. A statement of disputed issues of material fact. If there are no disputed material facts, the written letter must so indicate. d. A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged and of any relevant rules, regulations, statutes, and constitutional provisions entitling the protesting party to relief. e. The protesting party's entitled demand for the relief. f. Such other information as the protesting party deems to be material to the issue. The formal protest shall contain all arguments, facts or data supporting and advancing the protestor's position. Under no circumstances shall the protestor have the right to amend, supplement or modify its formal protest after the filing thereof. Nothing herein shall preclude the County's authority to request additional information from the protesting party or other bidders or proposers in conjunction with the review and rendering of decisions on the protest, including any subsequent appeal. 5. In the event of a timely protest of contract award consistent with the requirements of this section, the Procurement Services Director shall not proceed further with the award of the contract until all appropriate administrative remedies as delineated under this section have been exhausted or until the Board of County Commissioners makes a determination on the record that the award of a contract without delay is in the best interests of the County. During this process, the protesting party shall limit their communications with the County to the Office of the County Attorney, and neither the protesting party, their agents or their representatives shall have any private contact or discussions with individual County Commissioners, the County Manager, other County employees, or any independent hearing officer (where applicable) regarding the protest except such communications as may be required or permitted during a hearing, if applicable, or a meeting of the County Commission wherein the solicitation or award is to be considered. 6. The Procurement Services Director shall review the merits of each timely protest and in consultation with the Contract Manager and other appropriate County staff, issue a decision stating the reasons for the decision and the protesting party's rights of appeal under this section. Said decision shall be in writing and mailed or otherwise furnished to the protesting party. The decision of the Procurement Services Director shall be final and conclusive unless the protesting party delivers a subsequent written notice of appeal to the County Manager 53 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 within three (3) calendar days, excluding weekends and County holidays from the date of receipt of the decision. In filing a written objection to the Procurement Services Director's decision, the protestor shall not introduce new arguments or alter in any other way their protest submission. An appeal of the Procurement Services Director's decision shall be limited to a review of the grounds set forth in the formal protest, and no new grounds or arguments will be introduced or considered. 7. In the event of a subsequent appeal pursuant to section 6 above, the County Manager shall determine whether to appoint an independent Hearing Officer to review the formal protest and the Procurement Services Director's decision. The Hearing Officer's review shall be limited to the grounds set forth in the formal protest. The protesting party shall have the burden of proof. The Hearing Officer shall consider the formal protest, the Procurement Services Director's decision, and supporting documents and evidence presented at the hearing. In any hearing, irrelevant, immaterial or unduly repetitious evidence shall be excluded. All other evidence of a type commonly relied upon by reasonably prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs shall be admissible whether or not such evidence would be admissible in a trial in the courts of Florida. The Hearing Officer may grant the motion of any person having standing under Florida law to intervene in the proceedings. Persons or parties shall have the right to be represented by counsel in the proceedings, to call witnesses, and present evidence; provided, however, that the Hearing Officer shall not have the right to compel attendance of witnesses or to permit or compel any discovery. The Hearing Officer will have a maximum of 60 days to schedule and conduct a hearing into the matter and issue a recommended finding of fact and an opinion in writing to the County Manager or designee for submission to the Board of County Commissioners. Should the Hearing Officer find in favor of the County, the protesting party shall pay, in full, the costs of the Hearing Officer. If the Hearing Officer's recommended decision is in favor of the protesting party, then the County will assume this cost. The County Manager's discretion as to whether to appoint a Hearing Officer shall in no way afford the protestor the right to demand such an appointment or hearing. The decision of a Hearing Officer on a protesting party's appeal shall be submitted to the Board for its consideration as part of a final award decision. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating a right of judicial review of the Hearing Officer's decision, nor shall such decision be binding upon the Board. Additionally, nothing herein shall be construed as limiting the Board's right to reject any and all bids or proposals. 54 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 8. Decisions of the Procurement Services Director and Hearing Officer (where applicable) will be provided to the protestor prior to the award recommendation being presented to the Board of County Commissioners. Neither the County Manager's decision nor the Hearing Officer's recommended decision shall be construed as an award recommendation triggering additional rights of protest pursuant to this policy. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the Board of County Commissioners shall retain the authority to make the final award decision. 9. Failure to file a formal protest within the time and manner prescribed by this policy shall constitute a waiver of the right to protest by any protesting party as defined by subsection "A" of this policy. 10. As a condition of filing a formal protest to the Procurement Services Director, the protesting party shall submit a non-refundable filing fee for the purpose of defraying the costs of administering the protest. The filing fee shall be submitted with the formal protest. Failure to pay the filing fee shall result in the denial of the protest. The amount of the filing fee shall be as follows: Estimated Contract Amount Filing Fee $250,000.00 or less $500.00 $250,000.01 to $500,000.00 $1,000.00 $500,000.01 to $5 million $3,000.00 $5 million or more $5,000.00 This fee may be modified by Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners. 24. CONTRACT CLAIMS All actual or prospective claims arising against the County from contractors, vendors or any other party in direct privity with the County to provide goods or services shall first be directly addressed by the parties' administrative representatives in a manner consistent with the agreement between the parties. 55 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 For any prospective or actual claims or disputes arising under any contract entered into by the County, the Procurement Services Division Director must determine the facts of the dispute. All contract claims should follow the County's Vendor Payment Dispute Resolution Process outlined in SECTION SIXTEEN of the County Procurement Ordinance. 25. INSPECTION AND TESTING The Procurement Services Division Director or Designee shall inspect, or supervise the inspection of, or cause to be inspected, all deliveries of commodities or services to determine their conformance with the specifications set forth in an order or contract. 1. Inspection by Operating Department: The Procurement Services Division Director shall authorize operating departments to inspect, prior to use, all deliveries made to such operating departments under rules and regulations which the Procurement Services Director shall prescribe. 2. Testing: The Procurement Services Division Director shall have the authority to require chemical and physical tests of samples submitted with bids and samples of deliveries which are necessary to determine their quality and conformance with specifications. In the performance of such tests, the Procurement Services Division Director shall have the authority to make use of laboratory facilities of any Agency of the County or of any contracted outside laboratory. 26. PURCHASING CARD PROGRAM (Also refer to CMA #5808) The Procurement Services Division Director shall be responsible for the overall management and operation of the County's purchasing card program in conformance with the Collier County Administrative Practices and Procedures Manual. For the purpose of this Procurement Manual, a purchasing card is a credit card officially assigned to specific employees under the purview of the Board of County Commissioners' agency for the purpose of transacting small and/or strategic purchases. The Procurement Services Division Director shall be authorized to assign cards to employees for these purchases. The Procurement Services Division Director shall be responsible for establishing the following dollar limits for each assigned card: 1. Single Transaction Limit: Not to exceed $1,000.00 per card unless otherwise authorized by the Procurement Services Division Director. 2. Monthly Spending Limit: Not to exceed $10,000.00 per card unless otherwise authorized by the Procurement Services Division Director. 56 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 3. Strategic Purchases: The Procurement Services Division Director may utilize (or delegate the authority to other Agency staff to utilize) a purchasing card to place orders that exceed the limits set forth under this section in instances where one or more of the following is true: a. The purchase is to address a valid public emergency; or b. The County will earn revenue through card program rebates; or C. A vendor is requiring the County to order by purchasing card. 4. Sales Tax Compliance: Pursuant to F.S. § 212.08(6), County purchases transacted with vendors within the State of Florida are exempt from the State sales and use tax. In such instances, it is the responsibility of the cardholder to provide the vendor with the appropriate tax exemption information when the card is presented to the vendor. In the event that the cardholder fails to provide the vendor with the appropriate tax exemption information when the card is presented the cardholder may be responsible for payment of the tax. It is not cost effective or in the public interest to require a cardholder to seek a credit for sales tax collected when the total sale does not exceed $300. In the event that the total sale exceeds $300, the cardholder's Director is responsible to ensure the tax is returned to the County for the purchase. In all such instances, the Procurement Services Division Director shall ensure that the purchase has been approved subject to all other provisions of this policy. All fixed assets purchased using a purchasing card shall be properly reported to the Fixed Assets Section of the Clerk of Courts Finance Division so that it can be properly recorded. 27. CONFLICT OF INTEREST The procurement of goods and services shall comply with all applicable state, local and federal laws concerning ethics and conflict of interest. Refer to section 7 of this manual titled "Ethical Standards". 28. DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION The County Manager may suspend and/or debar vendors, contractors, consultants and other interested and affected persons from active participation in obtaining County contracts upon approval of the Board. The purpose of any such action shall be to protect the County's interests and the integrity of the County's contracting process. The suspension and debarment processes shall be 57 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 considered to be separate from and in addition to the award evaluation and vendor performance evaluation processes. 1.

The response shall be provided to the Procurement Services Division Director within ten (10) business days of receipt of the notice of allegations. In the event that the contractor fails to respond to the complaint within the prescribed time period, the complaint, as forwarded to the contractor, shall become an effective suspension or debarment decision without further appeal. (4) In the event that the contractor files a timely and complete response to the complaint and the suspension or debarment action is based upon a 60 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 conviction, judgment or other event(s) where there is no significant dispute over material facts, the Procurement Services Division Director shall determine the period of debarment on the basis of the undisputed material information set forth or referenced in the complaint, the contractor's reply and the parameters set forth in this section.

(5) In the event that the contractor files a timely and complete reply to the complaint and where the facts are in dispute, the Procurement Services Division Director will convene a committee (hereinafter referred to as "the committee") consisting of at least three individuals who will review the complaint and the contractor's reply. The County Manager shall formally appoint the committee, which will generally consist of county employees, none of whom shall be a member of the department/division initiating the complaint.

The Procurement Services Director shall preside over and facilitate the deliberations of the committee as a non -voting member and serve as the County's liaison to the Contractor. All voting committee members are prohibited from having any communication regarding the issue outside the committee deliberations with any of the parties involved in the specific suspension or debarment or their representatives until after the committee decision has been issued or, in the event of an appeal of that decision by the contractor, until the conclusion of the appeal process. All committee deliberations are subject to F.S. § 286.011. (7) Where the material facts are in dispute, the committee shall evaluate the evidence, judge the credibility of witnesses and base its decision upon the preponderance of the evidence. Should the contractor fail to appear at the hearing, the contractor shall be presumed to be non -responsive and shall be subject to suspension or debarment. The committee decision shall be by a majority vote of those voting members in attendance. The committee shall be the sole trier of fact. In the event that the committee decides to impose a debarment, the decision will formally include, but not be strictly limited to the following information: (i) The specific reasons for the action; (ii) The scope of the debarment; and (iii) The period of debarment, including the effective and expiration dates.

Should the County Manager overturn the committee's decision; the County Manager shall formally cite the reasons for doing so. Final recommendation for debarment shall be approved by the Board. C. Debarment Period: (1) The committee shall recommend the period of debarment. The debarment period shall be commensurate with the severity of the cause(s) and approved by the Board. (2) The committee (having the same or different composition) may recommend to the Board a reduction in the debarment period upon a written request from the contractor to do so, based on one or more of the following reasons: (i) Newly discovered material evidence; (ii) A reversal of the conviction, civil judgment or other action upon which the debarment was based; (iii) Bona fide change in ownership or management; (iv) Elimination of other causes for which the debarment was imposed; or (v) Other reasons that the committee might deem appropriate. The contractor's request shall be submitted to the Procurement Services Director in writing and shall be based on one or more of the aforementioned reasons. 3. The decision of the Board regarding a reduction of the debarment period is final and not subject to appeal. d. The Effects of Debarment: (1) Debarred contractors are excluded from receiving County contracts. Departments shall not solicit offers from, award contracts to, or consent to subcontractors with debarred contractors. Debarred contractors are excluded from conducting business with the County as agents, representatives, subcontractors or partners of other contractors. (2) The Procurement Services Division shall maintain a list of firms placed under a Suspended or Debared category and shall make that list known as a public record. 63 Procurement Manual Revision #2 Approved: May 10, 2018 (3) Divisions may not renew or otherwise extend the duration of current contracts with debarred contractors in place at the time of the debarment unless the Board determines that it is in the best interests of the County to allow the contractor to continue or finish the work within an additional, limited period of time. (4) When a debarred contractor is proposed as a subcontractor for any subcontract subject to County approval, the department shall not consent to subcontracts with such contractors. (5) The County shall not be responsible for any increases in contract costs or other expenses incurred by a contractor as a result of rejection of proposed subcontractors, provided that the subcontractor was debarred prior to the submission of the applicable bid or proposal offer. e. The Scope of Debarment: Debarment applies to all officers, Directors, Managers, principals, Procurement Services Directors, partners, qualifiers, divisions or other organizational elements of the debarred contractor, unless the debarment decision is limited by its terms to specific divisions, organizational elements or commodity/services. The committee's decision includes any existing affiliates of the contractor if they are specifically named and are given written notice of the proposed debarment and an opportunity to respond. Future affiliates of the contractor are subject to the pre-existing terms of the committee's decision. 29. WAIVER OF ORDINANCE The Board of County Commissioners shall have the authority to waive any and all Procurement Ordinance provisions within lawful guidelines and upon formal Board action. 30. CONFLICT AND SEVERABILITY In the event this Manual conflicts with any other ordinance of Collier County or other applicable law, the more restrictive shall apply. If any phrase or portion of the Manual is held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion.

Grady Minor & Associates, P.A. (GradyMinor) was contracted by the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) to perform a pedestrian count study for seven (7) locations along South First Street from School Road/Seminole Crossing Trail north to Main Street. The purpose of the study is to determine which existing crosswalks along the study area meet the minimum levels of pedestrian demand for a crosswalk as defined by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Traffic, January 2021 Traffic Engineering Manual. Existing Conditions South First Street is a 4-lane divided roadway with a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour (mph). The limits of the study area on South First Street begin at School Road/Seminole Crossing Trail and extend to the north approximately 4,000-feet to Main Street. Below is a list of the existing uncontrolled crosswalks within the study area and also the one crossing that was included in the study that currently does not have a marked crosswalk. Existing Uncontrolled Approach Crosswalks Included In Study (See Appendix A) 1. North side of intersection of Eustis Avenue. (Red) 2. North side of intersection of West Delaware Avenue. (Orange) 3. South side of intersection of East Delaware Avenue. (Yellow) 4. South side of intersection of Colorado Avenue. (Green) 5. South side of intersection of Boston Avenue. (Blue) 6. f325-feet north of intersection of Boston Avenue. (Purple) Existing Crossing Without A Marked Crosswalk Included In Study (See Appendix A) 1. Intersection of Carver Street. (Brown) 1, 4- r Existing Pedestrian facilities located on west side of First Street South • A 5-foot wide sidewalk from the first driveway north of the intersection of South First Street and School Road/Seminole Crossing Trail to the intersection of South First Street and West Delaware Avenue currently exists. A 6-foot wide sidewalk from the intersection of South First Street and West Delaware Avenue to the intersection of South First Street and Main Street currently exists. Existing Pedestrian facilities located on east Side of First Street South • A 6-foot wide sidewalk from the intersection of South First Street and East Eustis Avenue to the intersection of South First Street and Main Street currently exists. Scope of Study GradyMinor performed a pedestrian count study on June 10, 2021 from 8am — 4pm along South First Street from Eustis Avenue north to Main Street. Three (3) observers were strategically placed along the corridor to study pedestrian behavior at the six (6) existing uncontrolled approach crosswalks listed above. The observers were positioned in a location with a clear view of the existing crosswalks. Two (2) observers were stationed between East Delaware Avenue and West Delaware Avenue. The third observer was stationed just south of Boston Avenue looking north. The assigned crosswalks were as follows; • Observer 1 looking south for pedestrians that cross West Delaware Avenue and Eustis Avenue • Observer 2 looking north for pedestrians that cross East Delaware Avenue and Colorado Avenue • Observer 3 looking north for pedestrians that cross Boston Avenue and the crosswalk located f325-feet north of intersection of South First Street and Boston Avenue. An additional pedestrian county study was performed on July 12, 2021 from 5:30 am — 8:30 am at the request of the CRA. The CRA noted that pedestrians typically cross at Eustis Avenue and Carver Street to access the Collier Area Transit (CAT) bus stop located on the northwest corner of Carver Street and South First Street in front of the 7-Eleven. One observer was strategically placed between Eustis Avenue and Carver Street to study pedestrian behavior. Recommended Levels of Pedestrian Demand for a Marked Crosswalk Per section 5.2.5 of the January 2021 Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Traffic Engineering Manual, the recommended levels of pedestrian demand for a marked crosswalk are as follows: 20 or more pedestrians during a single hour (any four consecutive 15-minute periods) of an average day; or 18 or more pedestrians during each of any two hours of an average day; or 15 or more pedestrians during each of any three hours of an average day. Results Three crosswalks along the study area met the levels of pedestrian demand for a marked crosswalk as detailed below. Please refer to Appendix B for details of the total pedestrian counts observed on June 10 between 8am — 4pm and July 12, 2021 between 5:30am-8:30am respectfully. I West Delaware Avenue (Orange) 20 pedestrians between 12:45 pm — 1:45 pm Colorado Avenue (Green) 49 pedestrians between 1: 15 pm — 2:15 pm Boston Avenue (Blue) 16 pedestrians between 8:00 am — 9:00 am 15 pedestrians between 10:00 am — 11:00 am 15 pedestrians between 1: 15 pm — 2:15 pm —Ld - L r w ' W GradyMinor was provided with an excel file from the Collier County Sheriff's Office that details the crimes/incidents between January 1, 2015 thru November 20, 2020 along South First Street within the study area. The table below details the accidents within the intersections that were included in the crosswalk study. A complete report can be found in Appendix C. Collier County Sheriff's Office South First Street Crash History 01/01/2015 - 11/20/2020 Eustis W. Delaware E. Delaware Colorado Boston East Main Ave. Ave. Ave. Ave. Ave. St. Traffic Accident 7 7 11 25 21 50 Traffic Accident 4 4 2 5 6 4 - Injury Traffic Accident 2 1 2 2 3 2 - Damage Recommendations The recommended crosswalk improvements along South First Street are detailed below after coordination with the CRA and Collier County Transportation Operations Division. To implement the recommendations below, the CRA will be required to obtain sign and sealed construction plans by a licensed engineer in the state of Florida. Please refer to Appendix D for a conceptual design of the recommendations. • Install Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB) at the three warranted uncontrolled approach crosswalks. o Advance warning signage will need to reviewed and added as necessary. • Relocation of the crosswalk at Colorado Avenue from the southern side of the intersection of South First Street to the northern side of the intersection. • Relocation of the crosswalk at Boston Avenue from the southern side of the intersection of South First Street to the northern side of the intersection in an effort to utilize the median as a pedestrian refuge island. • The removal of the uncontrolled crosswalks at Eustis Avenue, East Delaware Avenue and f325- feet north of intersection of Boston Avenue. At the time of this report, the CRA is investigating the opportunity to add a sidewalk on the east side of South First Street from the CAT bus stop located just south of Carver Street to the intersection of Eustis Avenue. GradyMinor recommends reevaluating the need for an uncontrolled crosswalk at the intersections of Carver Street and/or Eustis Avenue if a sidewalk is constructed on the east side of South First Street.

A second solution for street lighting along South First Street is to install additional Collier County Traffic Operations style light poles and fixtures. Potential items to be considered for this design are: • Preliminary design review indicates the need for an additional 14 Collier County Traffic Operations style light poles and fixtures be installed to extend the street lighting system to Seminole Crossing Trail. • The existing street lighting poles installed in the median should be removed. • The existing electrical power source may need to be upgraded to provide additional capacity. Based on these considerations a Budget for the installation of these Collier County Traffic Operations street lighting poles would be $200,000.

Hollis <tehollis@embarqmail.com>; Daniel Flynn <dflynn@gradyminor.com> Subject: RE: CCU279 - First Street Conceptual Plans Good morning, Attached is the revised report and cost estimate. My apologies for including old figures in the previous cost estimate. Per Tom, the Memo he provided (dated July 15th) included a budget cost for the installation of 14 new poles, the removal of the existing poles from the median and additional capacity of the electrical power system. The final design was modified to install only 11 new poles, but he still feels that the budget figure of $200,000 is still a good figure. This figure was provided from a local contractor as a lump sum, Tom can provide a more detailed breakdown but he'll probably need a few days to get it put together if needed. Please don't hesitate to let me know if there are any further questions or need anything else from us at this time or in the coming days. You all have been a pleasure to work with as we navigated through these tasks together. We are greatly appreciative and look forward for the opportunity to continue design development on this project and/or any future projects the CRA may have in store. Thank you!

Please find attached a copy of the Report with a few suggestions reflected in red as our requested changes to the Report. Regarding the 11 NEW poles identified as FDOT poles, what do they cost? There will be no blue poles or LCEC poles when project completed. The Lighting Estimate attached identified 10 LCEC poles and does not appear to be applicable. I had reached out to Tom Hollis to see if he had costs for the new poles. Thank you for the revisions to the Report and confirming the costs on the lighting. Thank you.

Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) refers to a public entity created by Collier County to implement the activities outlined under Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes. The Board of County Commissioners (BCC), is the ex-officio governing Board of the CRA. On March 14, 2000, the BCC adopted Resolutions 2000-82 and 2000-83, establishing the Collier County CRA and identifying two areas within unincorporated Collier County as areas A in need of redevelopment. On June 13, 2000 the BCC adopted Resolution 2000-181 adopting the Community Redevelopment. The Plan lays out the framework of goals, objectives, and strategies to support the community vision. The first amendment to the plan was approved on April 23, 2019. In 2016, Resolution 2016-198 was adopted to revise the bylaws to clarify the membership and terms of office of the Immokalee Local. Redevelopment Advisory Board. The purpose of this nine -member committee is to be the primary vehicle for community and professional input to the CRA for matters relating to the Immokalee Redevelopment Area. Terms are for three years. How is CRA funding created? Property values in the CRA are capped, or frozen, at the assessed value for an established base year (2000). Thereafter, any tax revenues due to increases in property values in excess of the base are dedicated to the redevelopment area. The generated revenue is known as tax increment and is used in the Immokalee CRA to leverage its redevelopment efforts. 1 1 V If![ Nor, 1[ri A: Plan Updates Since the adoption of the 2000 Redevelopment n, much has changed within the Immokalee redevelopment area. In April 2019, the first amendment of the redevelopment plan focused on the Bayshore Gateway Triangle redevelopment area. The Board directed staff to update the plan to reflect the changes and needs in the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Area. Johnson Engineering was hired to provide planning support services for the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Plan Update. Their proposal of $79,710 is based on planning support services for the CRA staff's update to the plan. Staff issued the Notice to Proceed to Johnson Engineering on December 1, 2020. Johnson Engineering has completed the initial research of past plans and goal validation. The plan update is expected to be completed in March 2022. Immokalee Impact Fee Installment Payment Pilot Program On July 11, 2017, the BCC adopted Ordinance 2017-34 that established an Impact Fee Installment Payment Pilot Program for the Immokalee CRA. The ordinance provides an alternative to paying impact fees in full as a prerequisite for the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. A fee payer may pay impact fees in installments rather than a lump sum by entering into an impact fee installment payment program agreement with Collier County. This arrangement allows installment payments as a special assessment levied as non -ad valorem tax against the subject property. The program took effect October 1, 2017. Immolkalee Collier County Opportunity Zone Program: Low Tax Opportunity Zones, established by the federal Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, encourage long-term investment and job creation in targeted communities by reducing taxes for many job creators. They enhance the ability to attract businesses, developers and financial institutions to invest in targeted areas by allowing investors to defer capital gains taxes through investments in federally established Opportunity Funds. These zones allow private investors to support distressed communities through private equity investment in business and real estate ventures. The incentive is deferral, reduction and potential elimination of certain federal capital gains taxes. U.S. investors hold trillions of dollars in unrealized capital gains in stocks and mutual funds alone, a significant untapped resource for economic development. Immokalee has 3 Census Tracts included in the Opportunity Zone. The Immokalee airport has parcels of shovel - ready land in the Opportunity Zone.

Florida Heartland Economic Region of Opportunity (FHERO) In 2019, FHERO was awarded a Regional Rural Development Grant in the amount of $97,500 which included $22,000 for the development of a Strategic Economic Development Plan for the Immokalee community. The consultant, VisionFirst, conducted the site tour on March 13, 2020 and developed an overview of their findings that will be incorporated into the redevelopment plan update. Immokalee was also included in the 2020 FHERO guide. Commercial Facade Grant Program In accordance with Objective 1.2 in the Immokalee Area Master Plan, the CRA continued to provide financial incentives to businesses in Immokalee via the Commercial Facade Improvement Grant program. The CRA implemented the Program in October 2008. Since that time, 17 facade grants have been awarded to local businesses for a total of $294,621.67. Eligible applicants may receive grant funding up to $20,000 as reimbursement, using a one-half (1/2) to 1 match with equal applicant funding for facade improvements to commercial structures. 1WW Yw- ' Wig # ior OWN I-rnmok,. � ee What is a MSTU? A Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) is a funding mechanism where community members, with Board approval, assess themselves to make improvements to their neighborhood and/or community area and provide additional services based on community desires. This seven -member committee was established by Ordinance No. 11- 39, as amended by Ordinance No. 20-47, to assist the Board of County Commissioners in the business affairs of the Immokalee Beautification Taxing District and prepare and recommend an itemized budget to carry out the business of the district for each fiscal year. The CRA serves as administer and manager of the Immokalee MSTU. Membership on the advisory committee represents the population within the Immokalee Beautification Taxing District. Members must be electors of Collier County and qualify in one of the following categories: Four members must be permanent residents within the MSTU and three members may be an owner of a business or commercial property within the MSTU or may be an appointed representative of a non-profit entity operating within the MSTU. Terms are four years. How is MSTU funding created? The MSTU's enabling ordinance establishes the maximum millage rate that can be levied to implement the mission of the MSTU. Annually, the Board of County Commissioners approves the millage rate and budget to implement the yearly work plan. o� AIS Projects Landscape Maintenance Contract Services of the Immokalee Beautification MSTU consist of managing the maintenance of all public areas along Main Street (SR 29) and First Street (CR 846) within the limits of the Immokalee Urban Area. A&M Property Maintenance, a local Immokalee vendor, has been providing great service by performing various maintenance and repair services, such as lawn mowing, sidewalk and gutter cleaning, landscape maintenance, irrigation system management, and installing banners and holiday decorations. Additional incidental services are performed on an as -need basis such as the cutting of two dead trees on SR 29 near New Market Road Triangle, the removal of light pole #7 from the right-of-way that was struck by a vehicle and the installation of replacement brackets for decorative banners on the light poles on SR 29. New plantings were installed at the Triangle monument sign in December 2020. Monthly observation tours are conducted with the Contractor, CRA Staff and a MSTU Board Member. Immokalee MSTU Projects Welcome Sign The Immokalee Beautification MSTU partnered with the United Arts Council of Collier County (UAC) to facilitate a "Call for Artists" to redesign the "Welcome" signs in Immokalee. Eleven (11) artists submitted proposals and three (3) proposals were selected to advance to community review. After a week of online voting, over 4,500 votes were casted to select the winning artist. Laura Burns, Executive Director of the UAC announced the winner and noted the overwhelming response at the September 23rd Immokalee MSTU Meeting. The majority of the online voters were locally connected to Immokalee. The Survey reflected voting participants as: 68% lived-in Immokalee, 50% worked -in Immokalee and 76% were raised or attended schools in Immokalee. Congratulations to the winning artist, Martha M. Cantu, for her "Field of Dreams" proposal receiving over 60% of the votes. Ms. Cantu completed the mural on the sign located downtown on First Street and Eustis Avenue. The installation of the lighted lettering has been completed and landscaping shall follow as per original design. The monument area is expected to be completed in March 2021.

This leaves 15 percent of drivers who must be reminded of the maximum speed limit. The Department uses the "85th percentile" method of determining appropriate and safe posted speed limits in conjunction with the maximum statute based speeds. This method is based on extensive nationally accepted studies and observations. By measuring the speed of hundreds of vehicles at various points along the roadway, traffic engineers are able to use data to determine a reasonable and safe maximum speed to post for all vehicles to travel."

October 2011 The preparation of this report has been financed in part through grants from the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, under the Metropolitan Planning Program, Section 104(f) of title 23, U.S. Code. The contents of this report do not necessarily reflect the official views or policy of the U.S. Department of Transportation. COLLIER Metropolltdo Planning Qrganinuon Executive Summary I nfrnrh infinn The following report presents the Immokalee Walkable Community Study. The intent of this study is to assess pedestrian conditions or "walkability" within Immokalee, identify facility needs for public roadways, and prioritize future improvements. A walkable neighborhood is defined as a neighborhood that has compact residential development, a mix of land uses, and a well connected street network. A walkable community is a place where one can get to the store, school, park, or other destination within the neighborhood without a car. The results of the Immokalee Walkable Community Study will be incorporated into the Comprehensive Pathways Plan and will ultimately assist the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and its Pathway Advisory Committee (PAC) to plan and program facility improvements in Immokalee and throughout Collier County. Background In 2008 the MPO and the PAC identified the need to explore bicycle and pedestrian mobility issues throughout Collier County and specifically assess walkability conditions in specific communities and neighborhoods. As such, they included a task in the United Planning Work Plan (UPWP) to develop walkability studies for the following areas in this order of priority: 1) Naples Manor, 2) Immokalee, 3) Naples Park, 4) Golden Gate City, 5) City of Naples, and 6) City of Marco Island. In 2009, the MPO in collaboration with the Collier County Transportation Planning (CCTP) staff, completed the Naples Manor Walkable Community Study which was adopted by the MPO Board in March of 2010. Over that same period, CCTP staff conducted extensive analysis of pedestrian conditions in Immokalee and delivered a preliminary draft of the Immokalee Walkable Community Study to the MPO. Unfortunately, the study was put on hold and was never finalized or adopted due to restructuring events within Collier County government. In September of 2011, the MPO hired RWA Inc. to refine and update the study and to present it to the Technical Advisory Committee JAC), Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), PAC and MPO Board for review and adoption. Study Results CCTP staff conducted extensive walking surveys of almost every single roadway in Immokalee. On - the -ground conditions were documented, Level of Services (LOS) scores were assigned, and recommended physical improvements were identified. These improvements were divided into two phases to allow flexibility for construction, and to distinguish between immediate needs and desirable enhancements. The detailed assessments can be found in Appendix A: LOS Roadway Inventory. Results from this inventory were tabulated and mapped using Geographical Information Systems 2 COLLIER Metropolitan Planning arganinuon (GIS) software. Utilizing GIS functions, the individual roadway needs were analyzed and ranked according to their importance. The report condenses the detailed roadway inventory information and presents the results of the analysis and prioritization process in a concise illustrative format. The report ranks each roadway (or segment) and then groups them into three tiers: Tier 1—short term priorities, Tier 2—mid-term priorities, and Tier 3—long-term/wish list priorities. The individual scores for each roadway and the resulting tiers were determined by evaluating the location of the proposed pedestrian facilities and the impact those locations would have on the neighborhood. Exhibit 1 illustrates the results of the Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 priorities. EXHIBIT 1 ft-N, ,>: Ajl�lA�` fleryrcE hi: 0� W W 1, U v 0� W v z� o- 0 W� The findings presented in this study demonstrate that Immokalee has approximately 73 linear miles of public roads of which 27 miles or 37% contain sidewalks on at least one side of the road. Conversely, this means that approximately 63% of public roadways have no sidewalks. The study also assigns Immokalee an overall level of service of C. This level of service is determined by averaging all of the level of service results for each roadway. Of all roadways or segments (658) 3 11b analyzed only 16% (104 segments) obtained an overall score of A or B. These roadways contain acceptable facilities and need little improving. These improvements could typically be qualified as enhancements rather than facility needs. Enhancements can include improvements such as lighting, street furniture, and added visual interest. That being said, A and B roads do not constitute immediate priorities. Given the limited funds and the unlimited facility needs, priority rankings focused on roads with an a LOS score of C,D or F. With the understanding that LOS score is not the only determining factor in establishing funding priorities, this study filters C, D and F roadways according to the following additional criteria: • Located within high pedestrian crash corridor • Proximity to a school • Along a transit route • Proximity to points of interests (including Main Street, government offices, commercial centers and high employment areas) • Along a major road or connecting to a major road • Contains planned or programmed improvements, and • Public input As illustrated in Exhibit 1, the highest priority areas are concentrated around Main Street; the triangle formed by S.R. 29 and New Market Road where there are numerous schools, parks and public facilities; and highly traveled roadways such as Lake Trafford Road, New Market, and Immokalee Drive. Of all roadways ranked, 104 segments (approximately 9 linear miles) were assigned a Tier 1 Priority, 113 ( approximately 11 linear miles) were assigned a Tier 2 Priority and the remaining 337 segments (approximately 39 linear miles) fell into Tier 3 Priorities. The results found within this study will be integrated within the Comprehensive Pathways Plan and are meant to inform pedestrian improvement decisions, but can also be useful in assisting the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), the Immokalee Municipal Service Taxing Unit/ Beautification Committee (MSTU), and various Collier County agencies in setting priorities, requesting grants, allocating funds, and building infrastructure improvements. 11 Table of Contents Introduction Purpose Area Background/Community Profile Methodology Exhibit 2: Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities: Overall Exhibit 3: Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities: Northwest Section Exhibit 4: Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities: Central Section Exhibit 5: Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities: Southeast Section Phase 1: LOS Roadway Inventory Phase 2: Establishing Priority Tiers Exhibit 6: Level of Service (LOS): Overall Exhibit 7: Level of Service (LOS): Northwest Section Exhibit 8: Level of Service (LOS): Central Section Exhibit 9: Level of Service (LOS): Southeast Section Exhibit 10: High Crash Corridors Exhibit 11: School Locations Exhibit 12: Bus Route Locations Exhibit 13: Points of Interest Exhibit 14: Major Roads Exhibit 15: Planned Improvements Exhibit 16: Evaluation Matrix Exhibit 17: Tier One, Two, and Three Priorities: Overall Exhibit 18: Tier One, Two, and Three Priorities: Northwest Section Exhibit 19: Tier One, Two, and Three Priorities: Central Section Exhibit 20: Tier One, Two, and Three Priorities: Southeast Section General Recommendations UP-b-* COLLIER Metropolitan Pianningarganixatton Page 6 Page 7 Page 7 Page 8 Page 9 Page 10 Page 11 Page 12 Page 13 Page 16 Page 19 Page 20 Page 21 Page 22 Page 23 Page 24 Page 25 Page 26 Page 27 Page 28 Page 29 Page 40 Page 41 Page 42 Page 43 Page 44 5 ITP-b--* COLLIER Metropolitan Pianningarganixatton Introduction The Collier County Transportation Planning (CCTP) staff was assigned to complete the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO) 2008/09-2009/10 walkable community studies. Unfortunately, due to reorganization within Collier County government, a draft of the Immokalee Walkable Community Study was produced but the study was never finalized and approved by the MPO Board. In September 2011, RWA inc was hired to refine, and update the study and to present it to the Technical Advisory Committee JAC), Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), Pathway Advisory Committee (PAC) and MPO Board for review and adoption. The following report has been developed to address the needs defined in the MPO's 2008/09-2009/10 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) sub -task 4.7. The objective of the UPWP subtask is to conduct an assessment of pedestrian needs of local roads in neighborhood communities. The results of the study will ultimately be incorporated into the Comprehensive Pathways Plan. The Comprehensive Pathways Plan is a tool the MPO and the Pathways Advisory Committee (PAC) use to evaluate bicycle, pedestrian, and pathways improvements within Collier County. One of the goals of the Comprehensive Pathways Plan is to provide a safe, connected, and convenient on -road network throughout Collier County which accommodates bicyclists and pedestrians. The PAC advises the MPO Board on issues relating to bicycle and pedestrian mobility within Collier County and participates in prioritizing projects designed to further the goals of the Comprehensive Pathways Plan. Completing this walkable community study will allow the MPO, through the PAC, to begin the process of prioritizing walkable community needs with other pathways projects and improve the walkability within Collier County communities and neighborhoods. Recognizing that a walkable community assessment of all local roads in a neighborhood was a large undertaking, the PAC recommended that the MPO complete two walkable community evaluations per year. The Naples Manor Walkable Community Study was completed in 2009 and adopted in March of 2010. Over that same period, CCTP staff conducted extensive analysis of pedestrian conditions in Immokalee and delivered a preliminary draft of the Immokalee Walkable Community Study to the MPO. RWA picked off where CCTP staff left off. Utilizing the draft report and extensive data collected by the CCTP staff, RWA made some slight updates to the data, refined the report format, entered the data into a GIS database, and presented the study results in a graphical and tabular format. RWA and CCTP worked with the MPO, the PAC, the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), the Immokalee Municipal Service Taxing Unit/Beautification Committee (MSTU), and local residents to explore mobility issues and overall walkability in Immokalee. This study will be used to direct pedestrian improvements in Immokalee and to enhance the MPO's bicycle and pedestrian programs throughout Collier County. This study addresses how the layout and design of our neighborhoods is associated with the walkability of the community. A walkable neighborhood is defined as a neighborhood that has compact residential development, a mix of land uses, and a well connected street network. A walkable community is a place where one can get to the store, school, park, or other destination within the neighborhood without a car. 6 11b Many people in Immokalee are too young to drive, have a disability, have no access to a car, or choose not to drive. Many others are pedestrians at some point during the day and conduct a portion of their daily travel by foot. According to the 2000 census, 25 percent of the workers in Collier County get to work via other modes of travel than driving a car alone. These include carpools, public transit, walking, and riding a bicycle. Most of these modes however require that the user become a pedestrian at some point during their trip. For example, someone who utilizes public transportation still requires a way to get to and from the bus stop. Many people who carpool must also get to their carpool location by walking or riding their bicycle. According to the 1995 National Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS) approximately 40 percent of all trips are less than two miles or a 30 minute walk. This represents a relatively easy walk or bike ride if safe pedestrian and bicycling facilities are provided. In addition to fulfilling transportation needs, walkable communities also provide numerous benefits including; reducing levels of congestion and air pollution; promoting healthy lifestyles; reducing our reliance on foreign oil; and promoting livable and desirable communities that maintain higher property values. Purpose The MPO funded the study for the primary purpose of improving the bicycle and pedestrian plans/ programs developed by the MPO, CCTP, and PAC and ultimately to benefit the residents of Collier County. The MPO understands that better pedestrian and bicycle conditions have intangible benefits to the quality of life in Collier County. The purpose of this walkable community study is to incorporate the results of the study into the Comprehensive Pathways Plan and to ultimately assist the PAC when establishing priorities for pathway funding. The outcome of this walkable community study in conjunction with other walkable community studies will help create pedestrian friendly, usable, and connected pathways throughout Collier County. Area Background /Community Profile Immokalee, a census -designated place (CDP) in Collier County, was selected for the 2009 Walkable Community Study by the Pathways Advisory Committee of the Metropolitan Planning Organization. According to the 2010 census, the population was 24,154, and there were 2,783 households with children under the age of 18 living with them. The average household size was 3.96 and the average family size was 4.14. The median income for a family was $24,315. About 34.6% of families and 39.8% of the population were below the poverty line. Immokalee has a total area of 8.1 square miles. Immokalee is home to Eden Park Elementary, Parkside Elementary, Highlands Elementary, Immokalee Middle School and Immokalee High School. 7 aw The Collier MPO maintains an active database of all pathway facilities in Immokalee. The table on page 13 summarizes the existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities in Immokalee and Exhibits 2,3,4 and 5 presents maps of those facilities. Exhibit 2 illustrates all facilities on one overall map of Immokalee, whereas Exhibits 3, 4 and 5 provide close-ups of the Northwest, Central, and Southeast portions of the town respectively. Methodology The study was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 included an assessment of existing conditions and a detailed analysis of needed improvements. Results from this phase are presented in "Appendix A: LOS Roadway Inventory" which provides a street -by -street inventory of pedestrian conditions for almost every roadway in Immokalee. Phase 2 includes extensive Geographical Information Systems (GIS) mapping, and the ranking of improvements utilizing an intuitive evaluation matrix. As part of Phase 2, two screens were applied to the LOS inventory to rank and organize the improvements. The first screen eliminated private roads from the inventory since these roads are not eligible for federal funding. The second screen further reduced the number of roadways to be ranked by removing roads assigned a LOS of A or B. The remaining roadways were then evaluated and ranked according to the following criteria: • Located within high pedestrian crash corridor • Proximity to School • Along a transit route • Proximity to points of interests (including Main Street, government offices, commercial centers and high employment areas) • Along a major road or connecting to a major road • Contains planned or programmed improvements, and • Public input N w zfpn.

Some methods focus on safety and examine facility conditions; crossings and intersections; posted speed limits compared to actual vehicle speeds; lane widths; crosswalk conditions; pedestrian related signage and signals; intersection traffic controls; and intersection geometry. Others consider network quality and focus on pedestrian comfort and experience by evaluating issues such as lighting; maintenance of the sidewalk surface and vegetation; amenities such as the availability of benches, bike racks, transit stops and signs; and access and design of the facility such as compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and timing of the pedestrian phases for traffic lights. The methodology used to assess walkability in this report is a basic pedestrian level of service (LOS) measurement. LOS is a measurement used in transportation to depict how well the given transportation mode operates. Conventionally, vehicular LOS is a measurement of volume to capacity and delay ranging from A to F where A is excellent and F is failure. The five pedestrian LOS measures, as determined by evaluating various walkability guides, that are most applicable when evaluating a neighborhood are as follows: directness, continuity, street crossings, visual interests and amenities, and security. Using these five measures, CCPT evaluated roadways within Immokalee. Each evaluation includes objective as well as subjective components which are described on the following pages. Overall Score for Immokalee LOS Directness Continuity Street Visual Security Crossings Interest and Amenities C B C D C C • LOS - C - This score is a composite of all five criteria, which are weighted equally. There are substantial problems that prohibit or limit the walkability of Immokalee. Including an overall lack of a complete sidewalk network. • Directness — B — A grid on Main street allows many opportunities for different and direct routes. The other areas in Immokalee are spread out, and do not all have direct access to points of interest. • Continuity — C — There are some sidewalks in the community, but they are not in any way uniform in their design, type, or location. Sidewalks range in size from 4 feet to 8 feet. Sidewalks are made of both concrete and asphalt. Clear zones range from o feet to 25 feet. Most major roads have a sidewalk on at least one side. • Street Crossings — D — There is a large distance between most crossings in Immokalee. There are streets in Immokalee ranging in size from 12 feet to 30 feet. The street crossings are not uniform and are showing signs of wear. • Visual Interest and Amenities — C — There is landscape associated with the main roads in this neighborhood. There are benches, trash cans, or other pedestrian features on Main Street. • Security — C — The pedestrian does not have adequate space between the walking facility and the vehicular traffic on most streets. There are some street lights, but not enough for this area. This area has one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the state. Road safety audits have been performed to address the pedestrian safety issues in Immokalee. 13 H ' PU COLLIER Metropolitan Planning OFganlzation Directness — This is measured by determining how well the network provides sidewalks, bike lanes, or pathways along the shortest distances between destinations. This method is used to encourage trips on foot or bicycle along marked paths, sidewalks or bike lanes. Travelers are not as likely to travel on a pathway if it takes them far away from their desired destination or does not directly connect to the desired destination. Therefore, if the area is well linked, travelers are encouraged to and gener- ally keep on the sidewalks, bike lanes, and pathways. Continuity — Community continuity LOS is measured by determining the amount of continuous and uniform sidewalks, bike lanes, or pathways in the network. This LOS is measured according to two aspects: • First, the maintenance, quality and uniformity of the sidewalk surface. Are the sidewalks free from gaps, barriers, or obstructions? Are the sidewalks asphalt, concrete, or lime rock? • Second, are the sidewalks uninterrupted and are they continuous along the entire roadway? Tucker Avenue— Continuity LOS A Immokalee Drive— Continuity LOS F The sidewalk ends about 100 feet short of the end of the road. 14 COLLIER Metrwpolitan Planning Organinuon Street Crossings — This is measured by the amount of correctly marked crosswalks (this includes ADA compliance, curb cuts, vehicle speed, and signage). N. 9th Street— Street Crossing LOS A Jefferson Avenue —Street Crossing LOS F Visual Interest and Amenities — This is measured by the amount of street furniture that make the environment attractive and comfortable to walk. Well designed pedestrian space encourages more walking in the area. Generally, landscaping, garbage removal and street furniture (such as benches, signs, and various other aesthetic items) are considered part of this LOS measurement. Security — This is measured by the level of actual or perceived safety in the neighborhood, the amount of lighting, amount of clear zone (area beyond the edge of the traveled way), and a good line of sight for the pedestrian and for the vehicles to see the pedestrian. 5th Avenue Naples — Amenities LOS A Bryant Avenue —Amenities LOS F 15 COLLIER Metropolltdo Planning Qrganinuon PHASE 2: Establishing Priority Tiers Appendix A: LOS Roadway Inventory represents an extensive amount of man hours by CCTP staff to evaluate and ground truth individual roadways or segments according to the five measures described on the previous pages. In addition, CCTP also evaluated walkability deficiencies and identified reme- dies to improve roadway LOS. CCTP staff evaluated almost every single street in Immokalee which resulted in an extensive inven- tory. The extensive data has been summarized in Exhibits 6, 7, 8, and 9 which color -code LOS results on several maps of Immokalee. In order to boil down the results, manage the data and establish a tiered priority system for the comprehensive inventory, several screens were applied to the data. ist Screen The first screen was applied to reduce the sheer quantity of data within the LOS Inventory. Private roads were eliminated from the inventory since they are not eligible for federal funding, and that many of them only provide access to a few landowners and do not service the general public. end Screen In order to further refine the list of improvement needs, roadways with LOS scores of A or B were re- moved from the second level of analysis. Roadways with an LOS score of A and B are considered to have good to excellent pedestrian conditions. While these roadways could further be enhanced to im- prove user experience, essential facilities are provided and a safe enjoyable walking environment is achieved. Given limited funds and long list of improvement needs, addressing roadways with no facili- ties or significantly deficient facilities is deemed more important. Therefore, A and B roads were re- moved from the priority analysis. Once LOS A and B roads were removed, the remaining roads were evaluated according an evaluation matrix. Evaluation Matrix The criteria identified above were incorporated into a unified evaluation matrix used to score each pro- ject individually. The scoring results are presented in Exhibit 16. It should be noted that all criteria was either assigned a score of 1 or 0, except for Planned and Programmed Improvements and Public Input. All roadways with planned or programmed improvements were given a score of 10 or 0. the score of 10 was used to ensure that these projects would rise to the top of the priorities list. While it could be argued that planned or programmed projects should not be included in overall rankings, it is important to give credit to the priority decisions made prior to this study and to ensure that these projects remain on the priority list since funding can change at a moments notice. 16 COLLIER Metropolltdo Planning Qrganinuon There is often a need to modify project rankings based on changing circumstances. The evaluation matrix builds in this flexibility by adding a Public Input category which allows the MPO and PAC to increase a project's overall score. This category is subjective and can be given any score to improve a project's ranking. This category should be used when there is a significant public need and benefit for a given project. Evaluation Matrix Criteria: High Crash Corridors: Crash data from 2005 to 2010 was analyzed and it became evident that the majority of pedestrian and bicycle crashes and fatalities occurred along relatively few corridors. As can be seen from Exhibit 10, these high crash corridors are often the highly trav- eled major roads. These roads are also where much of the commercial activity and daily ac- tivities occur. Given the prime importance of safety and the need to address unsafe conditions this criterion was included in the evaluation. Proximity to Schools: Providing pedestrian and bicycle access to schools is a top priority. School children must be given safe, convenient, and affordable access to schools. This evaluation criterion emphasizes the need to address facility conditions around school areas and can assist the MPO with qualifying for Federal Safe Routes to School funding. Bus Routes: Roadways were evaluated to determine if they were part of an existing bus route. In order to provide mobility options, and encourage alternative modes of transportation and the use of public transit, it is important to provide pedestrian facilities to all bus stops. Bus stops also tend to follow major routes and service more activity centers and more densely populated areas making it an effective evaluation criterion. Points of Interest: Major points of interest were identified in Immokalee. These include public parks, civic building commercial activity centers, and places of high employment. All these areas generate high levels of bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Major Roads: In developing a walkable community and an efficient pedestrian system, it is important to see major roads as forming the backbone of the entire system. This backbone experiences the highest levels of travel and demands facilities that will promote efficient travel, connectivity, continuity, and user safety. As part of this evaluation major roads as well as roads connecting to major roads were given a higher priority score. Planned or Programmed improvements: The transportation planning process is complex and time-consuming. Funding comes from numerous sources and available monies often ad- dress discreet issues. Facility needs almost always exceed available funds, and as a result, projects require many years of planning and programming before they are built. This criterion is included in the evaluation methodology to acknowledge the importance of funding and allow a mechanism to rank funded projects as top priorities. Public Input: Evaluating pedestrian projects and setting priorities can be as much an art as it is a science. Numerous variables come into play so any evaluation methodology should pro- 17 H ' PU COLLIER Metrwp❑litan Planning OFganlzation vide flexibility and allow for public input. This criterion provides the ability to "bump up" a project on the priority list if there is a significant and immediate need. Priority Tiers Once all projects were scored using the evaluation matrix described above, the projects were grouped according to Priority Tiers and ordered alphabetically. Tier 1 Projects: Scores of 4-14 • Represent top priority projects with the greatest need and benefit • Some of these projects are planned or programmed • Should be built in the short-term Tier 2 Projects: Scores of 3, • Secondary priorities which with significant need and benefit • Can often have a specific benefit such as providing access to schools or bus routes • Should be built in the mid-term Tier 3 Projects: Scores of 0-2, • Represent tertiary priorities that should only be built after Tier 1-2 priorities • Are often located on local street with low traffic volumes 18 F Xpn4S A74!unwwoD a/geN[1t-N1 aaje),jowwj ��4 W (SOV 3DIANgS .40 73A37 z 19 <zkpn4s A74!unururo' ajgv-yjPA4 aale3loururl 3 $Qua (S071 3JIA93S 10 73n 37 20 u Xpn4S A74junuru.roD olgvNIPM oaleyoutwl io (SOV 3JIANgS 90 79A37 21 WOR Apn4s X4!unu-iwoD algp-yIPM aalL,.>[oc]cuul v (so7) 3Drnv3s .40 73n97 22 4 11 1CpnjS A4!unwwo] alqY.>IIYM aalY-louruil _ SYOQINSOD HSVYD HJIN FT 42 r�_ ��t I '&WWI „rS - - �, Ak LT °I _- i 4 .

The MPO should coordination with the CRA and MSTU to ensure that their priorities are adequately reflected in the project rankings. As an extension of this study, the MPO, through its PAC, should establish performance measures or metrics to periodically evaluate walkability conditions in Immokalee. • As part of updating their land development code overlays, the CRA should ensure that private development provides enhanced pedestrian and bicycle facilities, parking and amenities within their projects. • The MPO should collaborate with the CRA and MSTU regarding proposed bicycle, pedestrian and landscaping improvements along Main Street. • The MPO should collaborate with the CRA and MSTU regarding the implementation of the master Drainage Plan in Immokalee. • The MPO should coordinate with the CRA, MSTU, Collier Area Transportation (CAT), Collier County Government, law enforcement and schools to establish education campaigns regarding bicycle and pedestrian safety. Which may include: a. Review, evaluate and report on bicycle and pedestrian safety statistic, conditions and policies. b. Provide recommendations to improve safety conditions, including education, signage, signalization, facility design, intersection design, maintenance, and innovative technolo- gies such as "In Pavement Warning Lights" and "HAWK" signals. c. Investigate the application of traffic calming measures, the reduction of speed limits, and "road diets" within the county. d. Assist with Safe Routes to School programs. e. Coordinate safety education and training activities and programs. f. Investigate high crash areas and develop improvement projects aimed at improving safety conditions. • The MPO, the CRA, MSTU and CAT should work together to ensure appropriate access to transit routes, transfer stations, and individual bus stops in Immokalee. Bus stops should be encouraged to provide a pleasant environment for users including shelters, landscaping and lighting. Facilities should meet ADA requirements and should be designed to minimize conflict with bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Bike racks and/or parking should be considered at bus stops and transfer stations. 44
