Agenda 10/25/2022 Item #16A 1 (Executive Summary - To obtain Professional Engineering Design Peer Review Services for three Transportation Engineering projects)10/25/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to award Request for Professional Services (“RPS”) No. 22-7973, “Independent Design
Peer Review Services for Transportation Engineering Projects,” to Cardno, Inc., for $218,843.00 and
authorize the Chairman to sign the attached agreement.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain Professional Engineering Design Peer Review Services for three Transportation
Engineering projects.
CONSIDERATIONS: The three Transportation Engineering projects under which peer review services will be
assigned are as follows:
1. 16th Street NE Bridge (Project No. 60212): The project encompasses approximately a 3.3-mile section of
16th Street NE from Golden Gate Boulevard East extending north to the intersection with Randall
Boulevard. 16th Street NE intersects with a series of narrow dead-end streets. The proposed roadway
improvements for this project include adding a new bridge and providing additional lane width and
shoulders by widening to the west of the existing roadway. In addition, the project will add a new signal
system at the intersection of 16th Street NE and Randall Boulevard.
2. Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension, Phase 2 (Project No. 60249): This project will construct a two-lane road
extending Vanderbilt Beach Road, from 16th Street NE to Everglades Boulevard, including a bridge over
the Golden Gate Main Canal and a new intersection at Everglades Boulevard. This project is a continuation
of the Vanderbilt Beach Road Phase 1 Project from Collier Boulevard to 16th Street NE and will provide
similar project elements.
3. Wilson Boulevard Widening (Project No. 60229): This project will widen Wilson Boulevard North for a
stretch of approximately 3.7 miles from Golden Gate Boulevard to Immokalee Road from a two -lane
undivided facility to a four-lane divided roadway with curb and gutter. The project will add sidewalks, a
shared-use path, bike lane, and enhancing of the existing bus stops. Additional project elements include
upgrades to the drainage system, replacement of the existing bridge over the Cypress Canal, and acquisition
of right of way.
The consultant will provide independent peer review services for the design phase of each project. Therefore, the
design phases for these projects will vary. We anticipate the peer review services commencing in December of
2022 and completing in 2025.
Independent Peer Review (IPR) criteria follow the FDOT requirements and are used when one or more design
elements in a project require more stringent oversight. All three projects listed under this contract include bridges.
These reviews are not simply to check the original plans and calculations but are to provide a thorough
investigation to ensure the constructability of the design. The review firm cannot have any involvement with the
design project, thereby providing quality assurance and quality control and minimizing the need for change orders.
This service is typical of most capital projects and, at times, is performed by the CEI firm when they are already
under contract before the 60% design phase.
On June 28, 2022, the Board accepted the selection committee’s ranking for RPS No. 22-7973, and authorized staff
to negotiate an agreement with the top-ranked firm, Cardno, Inc., for “Independent Peer Review services for
Transportation Engineering projects.” (see Agenda Item 16A12).
Consistent with Section 287.055 of the Florida Statutes, the Consultant’s Competitive Negotiation Act (the
“CCNA”), staff negotiated and reached a proposed agreement with Cardno, Inc., for a contract in the amount of
$218,843.00 for professional services. The agreement was negotiated, resulting in a cost savings of $23,558.00. The
construction services cost for the three projects is estimated at $70 Million. The Board’s approval of this item will
also be an acknowledgment of the cost reasonableness of the contract amount based upon staff’s competitive
negotiation as required by the CCNA.

The infrastructure sales tax was approved by the voters in 2018. Exhibit A in Ordinance 2018 -21 lists all
applicable projects which can be funded from this sales tax. The improvements on 16th Street NE Project in eastern
Collier County is specifically included in Exhibit A under the Transportation Projects category. On December 2,
2020, agenda item 8A., the infrastructure Sales Tax Committee validated this project in the amount of $4.1 million.
Cardno Inc., has been an integral part of the professional consultant industry in Southwest Florida since 2011.
Cardno has previously provided successful independent peer review design services for Collier County.
FISCAL IMPACT: The primary funding sources for these projects are Road Impact Fees and Local Option
Infrastructure Surtax.
Project Number Project Name Funding Source Available Funds
60212 16th Street NE Bridge Surtax Funding (318) $ 65,274.00

60229 Wilson Blvd Widening Road Impact Fees (338) $ 81,956.00
Available Funding $ 218,843.00
Approval of this item will not have an impact on operational and maintenance costs; however, the completed
project can be expected to have the following operational and maintenance impacts: minimal to no maintenance
costs are expected to be incurred within the first 5 to 7 years of service for the new bridge and roadway features and
will be absorbed into the regular maintenance schedule thereafter.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The project is in conformance with the goals and objectives of the
Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for
Board approval.-SRT
