time spent by the contractor's employees and subcontractors to perform the work(number

which it is not possible to accurately estimate the size of the project, or when it is expected
that the project requirements would most likely change. As a general business practice,

of hours worked and billing rate by position (and company (or subcontractor) timekeeping

invoice must identify the unit price and the number of units received (no contractor
inventory or cost verification).
4.2 Any County agency may obtain services under this Agreement, provided
sufficient funds are included in their budget(s).
4.3 Payments will be made for services furnished, delivered, and accepted, upon
receipt and approval of invoices submitted on the date of services or within six (6) months
after completion of the Agreement. Any untimely submission of invoices beyond the
specified deadline period is subject to non-payment under the legal doctrine of "laches"
as untimely submitted. Time shall be deemed of the essence with respect to the timely
submission of invoices under this Agreement.
4.4 The County, or any duly authorized agents or representatives of the County, shall
have the right to conduct an audit of Contractor's books and records to verify the accuracy
of the Contractor's claim with respect to Contractor's costs associated with any Payment
Application, Change Order, or Work Directive Change.
4.5 I■I Travel and Reimbursable Expenses: Travel and Reimbursable Expenses
must be approved in advance in writing by the County. Travel expenses shall be
reimbursed as per Section 112.061 Fla. Stats. Reimbursements shall be at the following
rates:
Mileage $0.44.5 per mile
Breakfast $6.00
Lunch $11.00

How was the decision made to use this vendor? Describe in detail if a formal standardization process was performed
via Procurement or if there is a historical precedence established for the use of the product, please explain purchase,
and use history and the current level of County investment in the product.
EH electromagnetic flow meters are a unique product.The County has had excellent experience with them.EH flow meters are Ethernet ready and can plug into the County
SCADA wide area network without a conversion device to convert from analog to digital.A few other meters claim to be Ethernet ready,but they use internal conversion
modules to accomplish this.In addition,the County standard programmable logic controllers(PLCs)are manufactured by Rockwell.EH has a partnership with Rockwell that
makes integration of these meters with the Rockwell PLCs seamless.This seamless integration avoids the need for County staff to do additional programming to
accommodate the meters.There are several other electromagnetic meters traditionally used in wastewater applications(e.g.Badger and Rosemount)that accomplish the
measurement function as well as the EH meters.However,the Badger and Rosemount meters lack the full Ethernet compatibility and the ability to seamlessly integrate with
County Rockwell PLCs.EH Analyzers and Transmitters are a unique product and County has had excellent experience with them.EH Analyzers are easily integrated into the
County SCADA wide area network without a conversion device to convert from analog to digital.
Additionally,Endress+Hauser brand is included in the County Approved Products List(Appendix F)in the Board Approved Collier County Water-Sewer District Utility
Standards Manual under Ordinance 2018-36(BCC meeting July 10,2018,items 17.D and 17.E).
Explain why it is in the County's best interest to use this product/service rather than issuing a competitive solicitation.
What are the benefits from the continued use? Are there costs that would be incurred if a different vendor/product
was used?What would occur if another brand/vendor was used?
Standardizing with the referenced EH equipment has allowed for better utilization of time and optimized resources.The
Wastewater Division has purchased and tested many different makes and models of flow meters and determined that
Endress+ Hauser products are dependable, reliable and rugged and can withstand deterioration from highly corrosive
chemicals and sewage. How this meter integrates into the County's PLCs allows for advanced metering saves time and
money providing best value for the advanced capabilities that come with it.
Changing to a different Vendor would require extensive and expensive equipment modifications. Operators and
technicians have been trained on the operation and repair of these units, changing to a different equipment would
require extensive training requirements.
Explain how the pricing compares to other vendors/products and is it considered to be fair and reasonable. Provide
information of historical use and whether pricing has increased/decreased. If sole source and no other product is
available, provide the cost for addressing the needs via an alternate approach.
The SCADA and operational systems were designed and engineered around these specific devices.
Switching to other manufactures could cause compatibility or interface problems, piping, and wiring
modifications, costing the County millions, failure to comply with existing operating permits and
requirements, as well as a potential health threat to our Community.
Will this purchase obligate the County to future ancillary products or services, either in terms of maintenance or
standardization?If yes,explain what types.
OYes Q No

Market research and market alternatives.When was the last time a market evaluation was performed to determine if
either the technology or vendor offerings have changed? Based on the life expectancy of the product, when do you
anticipate evaluating the market again?Attach a detailed market evaluation report if the complexity,duration,and dollar
amount of the purchase will be a high risk to the County.
Endress+ Hauser products received Board approval for Standardization on July 10, 2018 (Agenda Item 17D)
and are identified in the Utilities Standards Manual for installation at Master Pump Stations, Submaster

Switching to another vendor would cost the County millions, failure to comply with existing operating
permits and requirements, as well as a potential health threat to our Community. Staff cannot justify this
expense and risk.
