Item # 16.C.2
ID# 2024-2174
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. 24-8211 for “Design Services for South
County Water Reclamation Facility Electrical Service #1 Upgrades” to Johnson Engineering, LLC, in the amount of
$501,897, and authorize the Chairman to sign the attached Agreement. (Project 70288)
OBJECTIVE: To obtain professional engineering design and construction administration services for the South County
Water Reclamation Facility Electrical Service #1 Upgrades (the “Project”).
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.
Much of the power distribution system equipment at the South County Water Reclamation Facility has been in use for
twenty years or more and has reached its useful life. The Project will replace, in its entirety, the main switchgear for
Electrical Service #1 and its two backup diesel generators. The replacement will analyze room for expansion or multiple
feed capabilities, which are not currently available. All other facility/equipment improvements and replacements
necessary to replace the main switchgear are included in the Project.
On August 13, 2024 (Agenda Item 16.C.1) the Board approved the selection committee ranking for Request for
Professional Services No. 24-8211, “Design Services for the South County Water Reclamation Facility Electrical
Service #1 Upgrades,” and authorized staff to enter into negotiations with the top-ranked firm, Johnson Engineering,
LLC (“Johnson”).
Johnson originally presented a proposal in the amount of $531,186, which staff negotiated down to $501,897 following
a series of negotiation sessions coordinated by the Procurement Services Division. The construction cost for the Project
is estimated at $7 Million. Staff recommends that the Board approve the attached Agreement with Johnson in the
negotiated amount of $501,897 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.
Johnson has provided engineering services for the County on prior projects over the past 30 years. Johnson is currently
the design entity for the North County Water Reclamation Facility Electrical Services Number One Upgrade Project.
The South County Water Reclamation Facility Electrical Service #1 Upgrades will provide a new main switchgear for
Electrical Service #1 and its two backup diesel generators, consistent with the Infrastructure and Asset Management
element of the Collier County Strategic Plan objectives, and FY 2025 Budget approved by the Board on September 19,
2024.
FISCAL IMPACT: The source of funding is the Wastewater User Fee Capital Fund (4014). A total of $501,897 is
available in Project 70288.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The Project meets current Growth Management Plan standards to ensure the
adequacy and availability of viable public facilities.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for Board
approval. —SRT
