Item # 16.C.1
ID# 2024-1616
Executive Summary
Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners, as ex-officio the Governing Board of the Collier County
Water-Sewer District (CCWSD) award Request for Professional Services No. 23-8193, “Design Services for
Transmission Water Main Improvements (Vanderbilt Beach Rd. and Airport Pulling Rd.),” to Johnson Engineering,
LLC., in the amount of $2,426,537.13, authorize the Chairman to sign the attached Agreement, and approve the
necessary Budget Amendments. (Projects 70268, 70285 & 70286).
OBJECTIVE: To obtain professional engineering design and construction administration services for the Transmission
Water Main Improvements on Vanderbilt Beach Road & Airport Pulling Road (the “Project”). This is a part of
CCWSD's Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) where replacements, re-hab, and repairs are priorized prior to failure
(Cat Red-F and Red-E) that will result in Utility Service outages and negative customer service impact.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County Water Sewer District (CCWSD) has established GIS-based integrated Enterprise
Asset Management (EAM) where assets are routinely evaluated and conditions in the field updated by Operations
Divisions and, where appropriate, they are listed under the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for Engineering and Project
Management to implement the soonest possible. CCWSD EAM drives the priorities for investment in our Critical
Infrastructure where replacements, re-hab, and repairs are planned and implemented prior to failure (Cat Red-F and Red-
E) that would result in Utility Service outages and negative customer service impact. The Engineering and Project
Management Division of the Public Utilities Department has completed QA/QC and programmed this project due to the
age, over 36 years, and condition of the existing water infrastructure along Vanderbilt Beach Road from the Carica
Pump Station to the east right-of-way limit of Airport Pulling Road, then south along Airport Pulling Road to Pine
Ridge Road, the CCWSD must replace the existing aging water mains in this corridor and install new transmission water
mains. The Project provides for the design and construction administration services for the proposed Vanderbilt Beach
Road and Airport Pulling Road Transmission Water Main Improvements, and is consistent with the Infrastructure and
Asset Management element of the Collier County Strategic Plan objectives.
On April 9, 2024 (Agenda Item 16.C.2), the Board approved the selection committee’s ranking and authorized staff to
begin negotiations with the top-ranked firm, Johnson Engineering, LLC. (“Johnson”).
Staff commenced negotiations with Johnson in April 2024. Johnson originally presented a proposal in the amount of
$3,449,264, which staff negotiated down to $2,426,537.13 following a series of negotiation sessions coordinated by the
Procurement Services Division. The proposed scope of services includes preliminary design analysis, complete
construction design and bid documentation, engineering post-design services, and public information services to deliver
a challenging project within significant collector roadway right-of-way. The construction cost for the project is
estimated at $16.5 Million. Staff recommends that the Board approve the attached Agreement with Johnson in the
negotiated amount of $2,426,537.13 to provide the detailed scope of engineering services required for the Project. 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 Consultants Competitive Negotiations Act, Florida Statute
§287.055.
