1. CALL TO ORDER
▪ Meeting called to order at 2:00 pm
2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
▪ William Varian made motion made to accept agenda
▪ All in favor
3. NEW BUSINESS
a. Revision to the Utilities Standard Manual
Anthony Stolts:
Introduced himself and said were prepared to go through all of our strikethrough and
underlines for all the items or whatever you guys would like us to do
Jared Mellein:
Started with number one, the introduction.
Drew Cody:
Added our county public utilities; part of this review process was looking at other utilities
across the state and looking to adopt some of the best practices and we recognize this
as a fairly common practice with utilities across the state. We’ve seen many of our plan
sheets come in with just the details from our standards inserted in cases where they
may or may not be appropriate to the project at hand.
Jared Mellein:
Some of the details have information on them that are to be done by the engineer of
record and were just making sure it’s understood.
Jesse Komorny:
You require certain details, and we generally put notes on those sheets that say were
signing and sealing these, but these aren't required by the utility.
David Schmitt:
We use that sentence to make sure the engineer of record is aware of the fact that they
are responsible the complete set of plans.
Jesse Komorny:
The electrical is not our expertise at all, I'm not aware of anybody that's getting an
electrical engineer to retire the county pump station details or the flight specifications
Jesse Komorny:
We’ll spec the pump and the phase of electricity usually through the phase of electricity
usually through a shop drawing process with the contractor, there's a lot that goes into a
pump station detail, there's concrete posts, structural elements and a statement that
says were responsible to prevent system failure severe damage to other property or
injury to other persons. You've got a structural engineer that's going to draw or get the
details from what needs to happen or get an MEP engineer involved in the electrical
right. You're just adding layer upon layer then I have never wrong, right or indifferent
I've never supplied an electrical engineer sign and sealed sheet that has the control
panel for the lift station. That’s one of the standard details on control panels. There are
concrete posts with footers specified dimensions there's all kinds of conduit
David Schmitt:
The panels and the pumps they tend to typically be vendor driven designs that you do
receive
Chris Mitchell:
That doesn't leave me a lot of room on a pipe that blows because the restraint was bad
or something, you can say he didn't do an extra measure and he's liable.
Jesse Komorny:
Talking about design features, it's saying you have to provide all the rest of the features
of design that aren't in our standard
David Schmitt:
We looked at several different other utilities and the language they put forth. I know
about the liability, and we tried to pull some of that extra liability out.
Anthony Stolts:
I think the point here is that these are our minimum requirements
David Schmitt:
There are some special circumstances that hopefuls the engineer of records made
aware of or looking at and so forth that may require some special considerations
Jesse Komorny: Maybe a statement to something like that would be the required
standards represent a minimum where unusual circumstances may exist
Proceeded to move onto the next one
Jared Mellein:
On this page we revised and got rid of the link for the website because it often changes
so we just made a general statement
David Schmitt:
A lot of this language is to reflect some of the changed with the FDEP and some of their
requirements and so forth about emergency backup power and so forth.
John English:
I halfway interpreted that as in some circumstances just having a connection for a
portable generator would provide capability, emergency pumping capability and in
certain
Chris Mitchell:
When this came online there was a lot of confusion and from developers there's a lot of
pushbacks because of the cost. So, let’s just make sure were really clear.
Speaker, who's your first line of defense in the review? Is it growth management at the
PPL or SDP level as to whether or not they would say, this one need power, backup
power?
David Schmitt:
There probably needs to be some cleanup of that language to reflect the fact the
community pump stations and those that are receiving type of things, to make sure were
still in accordance with the FDEP requirements.
John English:
It seems like is it as simple as there are some stations that require permanent on
location generators and some just simply need to have quick connects for portable
generators.
John English:
These require constant power.
David Schmitt:
This is a new section basically dealing with private pump stations that was proposed
also a deviation that you still have to go through a deviation process for a private
Jesse Komorny:
Most of these we've been getting has been like a single commercial facility wanting a
grinder station.
David Schmitt:
A lot of these parameters and so forth you'll see some footnotes at the bottom of the
page referencing the water pollution control federation a document they publish in 86.
Jesse Komorny:
I want to say a couple of times where you're picking a pump for a really small flow user
you have a really hard time finding a curve that you're going to get an operating point
real close to the max efficiency point
Anthony Stolts:
Yeah, well take it back and talk to everybody and see what we can come up with.
Anthony Stolts:
This isn't intended for single family homes; we're actually going to work on another
standard for that which will be a deviation to the deviation
John English:
I was thinking at these guardhouses the entrance to these gated communities very low
flow situation you're going to use a grinder.
Jesse Komorny:
I think there is an out for that fence as far as appropriate features that get you around
animals and unauthorized entry.
Drew Cody:
When these come in for review what we see for places where the fence is inappropriate,
it’s a lockable lid, and it comes in packaged with the original deviation
John English:
Does this allow you to do a lockable lid without having to d o a deviation
Drew Cody:
You have to have a deviation to put this in.
Drew Cody:
Typically, we see grinder pump station with lockable lid as like.
John English:
On the maintenance after design and accepted, is that something you guys' catalog? Do
you have a list? How do you know someone has a valid maintenance contract?
Drew Cody: I'm not sure what is one. What comes back is the main point of contact
and contact information.
7. Project record document:
Chris Mitchell:
What are you asking for on a meter box location? Survey shot on it that says meter box.
Anthony Stolts:
In many instances there were no signs.
Stephen Sarabia:
For location purposes, Locators did not know where the meters were in many instances.
If they had a frame of reference as to where to find them and also for electrical conduits.
Utility is requiring locating by statue.
Chris Mitchell:
Is it that you are having difficulty with older subdivisions?
John English:
It is mostly older neighborhoods.
John English:
Does this apply to any commercial project with SDP.
Speaker, does it apply to everything
Chris Mitchell:
If a meter is not in place there is no inspection where they'll pass. The meter Box has to
be in place with the WIP. If not, the preliminary nor final inspection get accepted.
speaker, if you go to paragraph four, up near the top it's gonna tell you, which again
basically coordinates and so forth on those meter boxes.
speaker, so you want us to survey every single meter box in a single-family division
when we do our record drawings.
speaker, yeah that's the way is set up and its along with other things like your manholes
are gonna be surveyed in.
Chris Mitchell:
If you're getting it in state plane coordinates, we get a comment back saying they're not
in state plane coordinates and it shows a meter box symbol. Wouldn't that be enough if
you're trying to be able to go locate it?
Jesse Komorny:
The record drawing should show the actual location of the meter box. They're shown on
the design and permit drawing.
Jesse Komorny:
You may be a foot off and you don’t want me to cross that out and put a box there,
because then you're not going to be able to read the printout of the drawing. If I'm a foot
of where it was, I don’t touch it.
Jesse Komorny:
I mostly run the locates department and this is why I'm struggling because our folks out
there are trying to find these things and they can't find the box.
Jesse Komorny:
That should be a little different now because we also had below ground back flow
preventers, now everything is an above ground. If we're creating a spec for going
forward and not solving in reverse, how much do we need it?
Jesse Komorny:
What we want is to see where they are on the plan so that when our locators are going
out there, they're seeing what they should.
Jesse Komorny:
It's really critical to get those assets lined up so it’s a big moving forward for many
reasons. The more accurate we get the better we are.
Chris Mitchell:
You get a contributory asset list.
Chris Mitchell:
For the record. We don't spec that; we don't design that. I think it's unfair to have us do
that.
Jesse Komorny, and so that's the exact problem that we're having is that's not shown
anywhere. And we have to locate that as well as our duty.
David Schmitt:
I think the location of the direct buried conduits, those type of things are more related to
wastewater pump stations and so we know where the power is coming from whether it's
coming from this transformer or this pole location just so it could be traced back a little
bit easier.
Stephen Sarabia:
Were responsible to locate from the can on the back of the lift station to the handhold
Chris Mitchell:
Don’t we do dedicated transformer on all the new stuff? For the lift stations?
Mario Valle:
We have a conversation, everybody here is good and three years down the road we
have a new person that says no you need everything, you need to show me everything.
Speaker, that’s what I want to make sure we are signing off on that or were saying no
let's add this little caveat that that’s what we're talking about.
David Schmitt:
That’s why we put the word county assets.
Jesse Komorny:
It’s just for the portion that we're maintaining, were not talking about FPL or their
equipment.
Jesse Komorny:
We want to get a more heavy-duty plastic box with a non-float lid that we have a lot of
damage on our construction sites.
Jesse Komorny:
$100 for a regular box and $110 for a jumbo box.
Mario Valle:
I don’t want to undersell them and then say yeah fine and then have them come back
and a year from now it be $200.
John English:
Is this predominantly an issue in new single-family subdivisions.
Jesse Komorny: Yeah, it’s gonna be AMI all over.
Jesse Komorny:
The box for this extra $100 it's one of these big trucks can drive over it and won’t break.
John English:
I was just curious, are we spending $100 and 80% of them still gonna break.
Jesse Komorny:
No, it’s a very low percentage, I'm confident this box is gonna suffice our needs .
John English:
The construction fencing, how long is that stuff gonna last? You get a 200-lot
subdivision its gonna take a while for those things to sell out and build in years. Are
these things gonna be required to be maintained.
Jesse Komorny:
Our utility code enforcement requested this because they find that when silt fences are
placed around meter boxes, they're getting fewer illegal connections, people stealing
water from next door and less damage.
Moved to item 9, diesel backup pump
Jared Mellein:
We added sections 1.1B, 2.5A and 2.5B
David Schmidt:
It’s only for those that we do need to have these platforms, it’s not gonna be every
pump station in the county. We're gonna see them more to coastal facilities where the
FEMA elevations have jumped up a bit.
Mario Valle:
The physical impact depends on the elevation and complexity.
Jesse Komorny:
When you go in for your building permit your electrical permit on a pump station, you're
gonna have to comply with requirements.
Jesse Komorny:
You can say it's always been a requirement you have to meet the electric code
Jesse Komorny:
This is a case where you got a lift station whose top is 3 / 4 ft above.
Jesse Komorny:
We have a waterproof lid, and all our electrical components are on some aluminum with
a foundation platform
David Schmitt:
We’re seeing more and more of them that are gonna be needed.
Moves item 10, standby diesel generators
Jared Mellein:
Some of the errors were corrected in the final version already.
Drew Cody:
This was a request of the utility review team; they suggested a decreased tolerance
because there’s no longer a preliminary acceptance.
Chris Mitchell:
If there’s a problem with gravity main from the get-go and you don’t have a lot of settling
over time, it’s an issue with installation. I’m not for reducing, you know when you put it if
you got a problem.
Mr. English:
I agree with Chris, I struggle with the idea that an inch is much different than an inch
and a half.
Mr. Stolts:
They were having trouble getting to one and a half and that’s why they were wanting to
get to the one to make sure they were getting closer.
Chris Mitchell:
Are we creating a standard that creates more work, is there a problem associated with
the inch and a half?
Mr. English:
You're gonna encounter it more often tha t multiple places in the subdivision roads.
Jesse Komorny:
We’ll take it back to him and discuss it some more
John English:
This communication is proposing fiber optic connectivity at pump stations, a letter of
availability shall be requested to the county for review and approval.
Jesse Komorny:
The county has fiber optics available, instead of using an antenna you can use fiber
optics to connect to their system.
Anthony Stolts:
We've added some specification and details for fiber optic connection later on here .
John English:
So, in all cases the developer is paying for this.
Jesse Komorny:
Correct
Line H is the Platform Language
John English:
Are you implying it needs to have railing guide rails to pull the pumps out with?
Chris Mitchell:
You can't go in the wet well to do any maintenance, everything has to be done outside
the wet wall.
David Schmitt:
There is a detailed WW7D that shows some things about that, without reading the
OSHA you may have to get a confined space permit.
John English:
It sounds more like if you're responsible for maintaining this you're a contractor that
provides maintenance services from lift stations you might need an OSHA confined
permit.
Chris Mitchell:
If were doing specifications for private life stations, it's under the grinder heading. Do
we need item B as a spec? You're not concerned with the maintenance its private.
John English:
It's always a possibility there might be a needed maintenance activity inside the station .
Jared Mellein:
Parts R and S are platform language.
Mr. Schmidt:
This is something from another consultant we didn't do a lot of detailed review in
comparing it.
Anthony Stolts:
We hired a consultant to do his fully and they've spent time and effort on this.
Jesse Komorny:
As this gets utilized more, we're gonna find the issues and try to clean it up more.
John English:
How long ago was this work done by the prior consultant.
Jesse Komorny:
Two years ago.
David Schmitt:
Theres a detail in the back that was supplied by the other consultant.
Chris Mitchell:
You may be able to remove the NEMA 4X enclosure, NEMA6P if you have it on the
approved product list.
David Schmitt:
As we were talking, I did write down the thought we might want to specify three or four
different manufacturers or models.
John English:
If you're designing a new project there’s a lift station near an entrance and they would
like the idea of not having an antenna we reach pout to you, at that point somebody's
gotta design a fiber connection from the station to your closest facility .
Jesse Komorny:
Yes
Jared Mellein:
Item 24 cover page, this was a webpage got rid of the link and made a general
statement.
Chris Mitchell:
What's the benefit on these sites, because we have two sources of communication.
Jesse Komorny:
I don’t want to say in all cases there'll be no antenna because sometimes we do have
cellular available
Jared Mellein:
Item 25 modified table of contents, to reflect changes and correct scriveners' errors.
This was just details we revised we have a new date as January 2025
Item 26 title block was changed on a bunch of details that didn't have a title block and
collier county's logo was added
Item 27 detail G10 pipe restraint schedule, the detail was modified to include
additional and restrained pipe length tables for vertical bends
David Schmitt:
That was something not on the original restraint joint tables was the vertical bends, so it
was something that needed to be added.
Jared Mellein:
Item 28, detail G12, IT, fiber optic telecommunications.
Jesse Komorny:
That's roughly the $15,000 is this new panel and you got a handhold for the fiber.
Chris Mitchell:
This is what you use on the capital improvement project.
Jared Mellein:
Item 29, detail W1, temporary blow-off assembly of bacterial sample point detail
Item 30, w2
Item 31, w3, fire hydrant detail, replace fire hydrant connection point range, minimum
18 inches, maximum 24 inches with note height of hydrant was set based upon
manufacturers recommendations
Item 32, added distance from EOP slash curb to fire hydrant based on rural or urban
area
Chris Mitchell:
In a single-family subdivision your urban minimum four feet from curb to your hydrant is
in conflict with your seven six minimum to your valve pad.
John English:
The two foot minimum radius, the sidewalk had to be two feet off that.
Jesse Komorny:
You gotta have a clear zone round there that they can get around that hydrant.
Jared Mellein:
Item 33 permanent brass models added to approve product list, stainless steel models
removed.
David Schmidt:
This came from the water side, they were having issues with the stainless-steel devices,
and they wanted to switch back to brass.
John English:
We've had experience where there’s a high incidence rate of failing back tees with
stainless steel fittings, bacteria seem to cling to it, or its growth is promoted.
David Schmitt:
We can look at and discuss with the water department. Those stainless-steel inserts in
the polyethylene pipe, if they come in a variety of types of materials because brass may
be a little too soft to use for that insert.
Jared Mellein:
Item 34, detailed W-12, typical short and long side water service meter setting detail for
connection to water main, temporary construction fence, graphic added around meter
boxes with no reference seen, note 8 on detail W-12A, revised meter calls out to AMI
slash AMR meter.
John English:
Shows the temporary construction fence, the CO or installation of sod.
John English:
I think it’s going to be a maintenance thing, there’s work we do, and we get it to look
right at the day of inspection and then you're signed off.
Jesse Komorny:
It becomes a vertical construction inspection not the site.
David Schmitt:
There needs to be modification of that fencing at some point .
Jared Mellein:
Item 36, W-13, three inch and over potable water meter assembly detail, added note
number nine to equipment specification including maintenance access in county CUE or
right of way.
Chris Mitchell:
Wasn't that part of the requirement?
David Schmitt, it was but it's just making sure its plainly put out there

2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
▪ Mario Valle made motion made to accept agenda.
▪ Chris Mitchell seconded the motion.
▪ All in favor.
3. NEW BUSINESS
4. OLD BUSINESS
a. Revision to the Utilities Standard Manual
David Schmitt:
▪ We did listen to your comments last time. There was some concern about whether or
not there was, what product perhaps this was written about, and after doing a little bit
of research, this seems to be based upon the E1 pump specification. The drawing that
accompanies it a little bit further back in the specification is also, if you look at it
closely, it resembles the E1.
▪ Extra language developed by other consultants is considered as part of that.
▪ Just a reminder this will be a deviation request. As you submit your information and
so forth, you do have another product that you would propose as part of that deviation
that would be considered as part of that.
▪ No changes to the language.
▪ This was a specification developed by another consultant that the county had
employed to develop a specification for these private conversations. Some of the
criteria is a little more specific. CPA manuals and so forth that describe how that
thinking factor and some of the criteria was developed.
▪ This is a deviation, so if you come in and propose something different, show your
engineering calculations, then the county would look at that as a deviation and act on
it as appropriate.
Chris Mitchell: I think the question that we had, and I'm trying to remember back
though, was by dividing by the 0.7 when you're looking at the peak flow, the peak flow is
already accounting for a peak factor. So it was almost inconsistent with the public pump
station, and so I don't disagree that you're finding higher peaking factor, because your
population is a lot less going to the pump station if we're using the 10-state standards, but
it seems like we're, it's inconsistent with what we do for the public list stations and it
might be a little additional flow that it may change the size force power of the pump. It
seemed to be, excessive isn't the right word, but it seems to be quite a bit more than the
way that we calculated. So that was the concern. I get that the previous consultant did it,
but I don't know if that's consistent with how we do it for Collier County Public Utilities.
▪ This a private pump station and will always require a deviation.
Matthew McLean: The designs of these things to try to make it consistent across the
board. With it allowing the ability to have in the deviation process an engineer that may
not want to utilize this guidance for how they want to lay out the design, they're certainly
entitled to be able to come up with another way to look at it, but we would prefer to
utilize this even though at the end of the day, it may be a little conservative. So, I don't
see a need to change the language.
▪ One study is 40 years, and another is 55 years.
Project Record Documents
▪ Highlighted in yellow underlined what we had before.
▪ Revised highlighted in green.
▪ Clarified that its county.
▪ Consistent with what we discussed.
▪ Connection to existing systems section 2500 there is a discussion on the installation
A) #2 gravity system shall not contain vertical disc greater than one originally read
one and a half in inches and we change that to one inch - 330518
Chris Mitchell: Asked what was the internal discussion? Because this was one of our
points that we didn't think that it was necessary.
You all requested that it not be changed, and then we held on the one inch.
Matt McLean: When the team came back and spoke with me about this particular item,
it’s been more challenging for the utility just as a general conversation to this particular
one. Now that the majority of the conveyance packages happened in the one step, we
don't gain the benefit of being able to come back in a year and getting another gravity
sewer tape from the developers to confirm that we've had additional settlement within the
system. And so that was kind of the nexus overall of having to revisit this particular
section. We're looking to try to make it a little bit tighter in there knowing that we do see
some settlement over time and so for accepting things that we're at an inch and a half
right away and then we lose another half an inch over the course of a year then we're in a
situation where I’m gonna deal with a whole lot more ditch in there and take a look at our
systems see what we're gonna do on fixing those sorts of things so that was kind of some
of the additional conversations that we had internally.
Chris Mitchell asked Matthew McLean: Do you have statistics on, I know that the
process is new, but have you, how often in the two-step process will we have a lot of
additional deflection?
Matthew McLean: We are actually, we did have a significant amount of additional
deflections, and I don't know if that was a function of two different people taking it at the
time. I mean, we ultimately put the marker balls in there, which made it a lot easier to be
able to determine how deep the dips are. And so that's been a good value add across the
board. But when those things were happening, we already had the developer right there
with us when it was two-step field, go ahead and address it and get it back up to within
the inch. In this case now, since we went to an inch and a half to provide some more
flexibility, but now we're losing that ability with the single conveyance step.
Chris Mitchell: If it's an operational issue, we certainly don't want to create an
operational issue that we know is going to be a failure down the line. I think for me, I
would just caution that you guys are clearly going to go with an inch. Let's not get any
tighter than that because it is construction and there's tolerances. It's really difficult
sometimes to meet tolerance.
▪ Section 331619
▪ You can see on the screen, the yellow is what we spoke about before, and the change
is in green.
▪ W-3. We revised the note top left, added note nine below. Installation of all fire
hydrants shall be in accordance with all applicable Department of Transportation and
local fire control district requirements. Then to the note on the top left of the page,
urban C note nine and rural C note nine.
▪ Detail W-12A, note number 8 was revised. Regarding temporary construction, fences
shall be installed at water meter settings until building certificate of occupancy or
installation of sod. The existing temporary construction fence shall be modified as
necessitated by lot development. Fence to be three feet in height and offset three feet
from assembly.
Matt McLean: Anthony, what you're describing is that we went back to the original
standard identifying that's already approved today of the minnow 18 inches and 22
inches.
Anthony Stolts: Correct, and just added the language from Route 9 down there just to
cover if there were any other conditions for a shape of the fire.
▪ W-13. Add in note number 9 to equipment specifications including maintenance
access to the county CEU or right of way.
David Schmidt: We just added those notes on several different leader assembly, clarify
the fact that it is already required.
▪ W-14, the same thing. Add in note number 10 to equipment specifications, including
maintenance, access, and county CEU are right away. WW-2, that's just a Scrivener's
error. WW-3. added ASTM callouts, added mid-slab and sidewall thicknesses notes.
▪ WW-4, the same thing, added ASTM callouts, added mid slab and side wall thickness
notes. WW-5, again, added ASTM callouts, added VIN slab and sidewall thickness
notes. Same changes, just clarification. WW-6, updated new required manhole
dimensions, that was due to the DEB change.
▪ Eight-inch wall thickness, line width, How long do these last? How long are the
manholes without rehab? - It really all boils down to how much hydrogen sulfide
we're experiencing in different areas of our overall system and how they're ultimately
constructed. I mean, this wastewater and the hydrogen sulfide does eat away the
liners and then gets into the concrete. Once you start getting into the concrete, that
falls out and we get directly into the rebar, and typically with a properly constructed
and installed manhole that doesn't have any chips and lining or any issues with it,
they should last 50 to 60 years. Sometimes we have to go in at a 10 or a 20-year mark
in certain cases where we're experiencing things that had some, what you didn't think
were constructability issues or proper installation of liners. We've learned a lot about
the liners over time, too, where we're getting better coatings on them than what we've
had in the past. And we still have an incredible amount of manholes and wet wells
that have no liners on them because they were installed prior to any of those time
frames when you're looking at a 50, 60-year life. So, we rehab them. We typically
focus the rehabs at the wet wells at the pump stations themselves because that's where
we experience the most degradation just due to the fact that the material's sitting in
them longer as opposed to a manhole. Typically, unless you're having an incredible
amount of surcharge, and really experience a lot of issues with the manholes.
▪ WW-7. few items on this one. Mark number three for access door was modified by
adding opposite discharge piping. Also added to detail column. Mark number four
was modified by adding the sentence no spacers permitted between check and plug
valves. Mark number 7 was modified by adding the sentence RAMNAC may be used
in lieu of O-ring rubber gaskets. See specification section 034100. Mark number 7
was modified by adding the sentence pump station wet well shall be designed by a
Florida professional engineer and signed and sealed shop drawings shall be
submitted. Mark number eight was modified by adding the text with external weight
and lever. Added reference to plan sheets under profile call out section A-A. And the
last one was added ASTM call outs, added no top slab eight-inch minimum thickness,
revised footer dimension to A plus 32 inch minimum, added mark references. So, on
item 7, we do not currently require a shop drawing to go in, correct?
▪ I don't believe you send shop drawings and you guys review them and approve them.
We get a shop drawing. Well, that's what they're saying. Part of the discussion we had
last time, which I think is very valid, is that we are required to use your details. And
we understand that that's the base minimum. But if we build a... what well, based on
your detail, why do we have to submit a shop drawing?
Matt McLean: Now, we review it because the contractor submits a shop drawing to us.
Yeah, let me make sure that I'm understanding. I think that what I'm hearing, the concern
is, is that with the language added, they're saying shop drawings shall be submitted, the
clarification is to
▪ WW-7D, private grinder pump station detail. This is the new detail added to the
county set. David Schmidt, for the record, that detail goes hand in hand with the other
changes that we had for the private pump stations. And again, if you look at the
detail, it does reflect what you would see on D1 pump station.
Blair Foley: The detail itself talks about on the bottom right, concrete ballasting node
seven. I think that may be node six. Could you guys go over the differences? We have
two details. One's the standard, one's the... Oh, I'm sorry. There's just one. There's a
misspelling. No, number nine receptacle is spelled wrong. That was the only difference.
You guys did get the correction wrong? No, five. Sorry.
▪ WW-8, pump station detail plan. Some of these are the same changes as the other
pump station detail, but I'll read through them. Mark number four was modified by
adding the sentence no spacers permitted between check and plug valves. Mark
number eight was modified by adding the text with external weight and lever. Mark
number 14 was modified by adding the sentence single door panels to open away
from wet well. Call out for existing drive material was modified by deleting the
option for grass covered porous pavement and leaving only the option for concrete or
asphalt. Access drive dimension was set as the distance between the fence and the wet
well top. Call out provide clear distance between fence and wet well top was added.
▪ No added to section A-A referencing plan view on detail WW-7. No added next to
dimension table to be completed by EOR I'm recommending G-E-O-R to engineer.
▪ WW-AA. A lot of these comments are the same. I'll read through them. Mark number
four was modified by adding the sentence, no spacers permitted between check and
plug valves. Mark number seven was added fiber optic hand hole. See technical
details specification 409500 and detail G-12 where applicable. Conflit and hand hole
graphic added to the detail. Mark number eight was modified by adding the text with
external weight lever. Mark number 10 was added IT telecommunications panel. See
technical specifications 409, 500 and detailed G-12 where applicable. IT
telecommunications graphic was added to the detail. Mark number 14 modified by
adding the sentence single door panels to open away from wet well. Call out for
access drive material was modified by deleting the option for grass covered porous
pavement and leaving only the option for concrete or asphalt. Access drive dimension
was set as the distance between the fence and the wet well top. Call out provide clear
distance between fence and wet well top was added. Note added next to section A-A
referencing plan view on detailed WW-7. And one more note added next to
dimension table. We just spoke about to be completed by engineer.
▪ Detail WW-8B. Again, a lot of these are the same mounts. I'll read through them.
Mark number two was added fiber optic hand hole. See technical detail specification
409500 and detail G-12 where applicable. Conduit and hand hole graphic added to
detail. Mark number four was modified by adding the sentence no spacers permitted
between check and plug valves. Mark number 7 was added fiber optic hand-hull. See
technical detail specifications 409-500 and detail G-12 where applicable. Conduit and
hand-hull graphic added to the detail. Mark number 8 was modified by adding the
text with external weight and lever. Mark number 14 was modified by adding the
sentence single door panels to open away from the web well. Call-out for access drive
material was modified by deleting the option for grass-covered porous pavement and
leaving only the option for concrete or asphalt. An additional concrete post was added
to the control panel. No add-index to dimension table will be to be completed by
engineer. No add-index to section A-A referencing plan view on detailed WW-7.
▪ WW-9, note number 3 was modified by adding the sentence single door panels to
open away from wet well. Added callouts to detail square D power blocks to be
installed in J-box and plastic unistra and cap callout. Note number 9 was added side
panel penetrations are acceptable with the use of Myers hubs. Note number 10 was
added phase monitor to be installed parallel with FP&L meter on FP&L side. Note
number 11 was added Chico used to seal off and explosion proof fittings under
JBOX, putty for all other conduit openings. Note number 12 was added. All unit
struts to be mounted flush with post and penetrate post with stainless steel hardware.
Note number 13 was added. All mounted equipment must be evenly spaced, level,
plumbed, and installed in a work-them-like manner. Pump control conduit graphic
brought forward in front of panel control conduit on detail. Thank you. Next please.
Detailed WW-9A. Note number three was modified by adding the sentence single
door panels to open away from wet well. Added additional concrete post graphic was
added to the panel. Added call out to detail square D power blocks to be utilized in
JBOX. Note number 8 was added, side panel penetrations are acceptable with the use
of Meyers hubs. Note number 9 was added, phase monitor to be installed parallel with
FP&L meter on FP&L side. Note number 10 was added, cheat code used to seal off
an explosion proof fitting under JBOX, plenty for all other conduit openings. Updated
detail to show fittings under control panel. Note number 11 was added, add
emergency stop for generator and fire extinguisher on post furthest from generator
with appropriate signage. Note number 12 was added, all units dressed to be mounted
flush with post and penetrate post with stainless steel hardware. Note number 13 was
added, all mounted equipment must be evenly spaced, level, plumbed, and installed in
a workmanlike manner. Pump control conduit graphic brought forward in front of
panel control conduit on detail.
▪ Detail WW-9B, note number three was modified by adding the sentence single door
panels to open away from wet well. An additional concrete post graphic was added to
the panel. Added call out to detail square D power blocks to be utilized in JBOX.
Note number eight was added. Side panel penetrations are acceptable with the use of
Myers hubs. Note number nine was added. Phase monitor to be installed parallel with
FP&O meter on FP&O side. Note number 10 was added, Chico used to seal off in
explosion-proof fittings under J-Box, putty for all other conduit openings. Note
number 11 was added, add emergency stop for generator and fire extinguisher on
posts furthest from generator with appropriate signage. Note number 12 was added,
all unit stress to be mounted flush with post and penetrate post with stainless steel
hardware. And note number 13 was added, all mounted equipment must be evenly
spaced, level, plumb, and installed in a workmanlike manner.
▪ WW-12. That was just a Scrivener error. Item number 102 was also Scrivener. That's
just a webpage reference. Item 103, that was just modifying the table of contents.
Item 104, Appendix B, Water Meter Sizing Form. The demand range table on the
water meter sizing form page one was updated and taken from AWWA M22 table 6-
1, third edition. The flow ranges for three quarter inch, one inch, one and a half inch,
and two-inch meter sizes are flow ranges for positive displacement meters. The flow
ranges for three, four, six, eight, and ten-inch meter sizes are flow ranges for turbine
class two meters. This table can vary depending on meter type. Modified language on
signature line page one, replace stamp with seal. The fixture flow value worksheet
page two was updated and taken from the Florida building code 2023 edition. Item
105, Appendix F, approved product list. Appendix F was revised to include new
products that are to be placed on the approved product list. I just want to make a note
on the meter boxes. We clarified in there which ones were for staff use versus the
ones that we were expecting from the developers. Just to clarify that from the last
meeting. And we also added the IQ boxes on there. They're a different color. Same
box, different color. Item 106, appendix G, approved backflow devices. This is a list
that was updated that they're using out in the field currently and items were updated
to include lead-free models. And the last item, 107, Appendix H, IQ user application
and agreement. Added basic user application and agreement for delivery and reuse of
irrigation quality water. This is a form that currently Rob Kane's group is using, but
the county wanted to implement it into the manual. Something that's currently in use.
Chris Mitchell: It’s been a long time since I've dealt with delivery of IQ, but is it more
of a consistent delivery? It used to be that golf courses would, they're not promised
delivery, even though there's the agreement. Are you guys more consistent with delivery?
▪ We have a multitude of different I.Q. agreements with different users just due to the
fact that some of them date back decades now. And as they come up for renewals,
we're trying to get them more consistent across the board for the existing ones. But as
far as the utility is concerned, consistent delivery of our irrigation quality water is one
of our continued business models for expansion, particularly in the northeast section
of the county where we're providing our services to villages and towns. A lot of those
residential subdivisions and commercial areas as they become designed will be set up
for the dual system, water and IQ. to balance out the system. It's a feast or famine in
the IQ business because you either have too much or not enough. So, we do have
supplemental well fields that are specific to the irrigation quality system too that may
supplement in times where we have excess demand and not the ability to be able to
provide all of that demand by way of just the effluent coming out of the water
reclamation facility
Matt McLean: I'd just like to personally thank the DSAC subcommittee meeting team
for putting together the hard work on going through and reviewing these details and
specifications that have been updated for us.
▪ Do you want a recommendation from us in the subcommittee? We would. We would.
We'd like to get a recommendation from the subcommittee, and then when we go
present it at the formal DSAC committee meeting, we'll identify the few cleanup
items that we had here today, and we're hopeful that we'll gain the support not only of
you guys as a subcommittee with the recommendation here today, but also at the full
DSAC committee meeting when we get on the next meeting that's available for us to
present.
Blair Foley: Made a Motion
I'd like to recommend approval of the revised Collier County Large Sewer Manual
District Utility Standard Manual with a few corrections as it was presented today. Detail
WW7, remove the shop drawing language requirement. Detail WW7D, the ballast note is
actually note 6, not 7. And then on WW-8, WW-8A, and detail WW-8B, remove the
engineer record to engineer. And those are the small adjustments we'd like to see in the
package presented to the full body of DSAC the first Wednesday of next month. That's
my motion.
Chris Mitchell: Seconded the Motion
Chris Mitchell: I’ve heard from several clients that it's been very, very, very difficult
with the fire districts and the way we have our acceptance set up and could we do a
separate utility acceptance for fire. So, Lee County Utilities, I know they do a process for
fire protection. And the hold is obviously no CO until you get final acceptance. Now
what that does do though in the Lee County process is that you have the, you have DEP
certification. So, it's operating as a system, but they can't get potable water until they get
the CO and the site or the utility cert and CO so that you guys hold the meters or Lee
County does. it's becoming a little more difficult to get fire protection. The fire districts
are really clamped down.
Matt McLean: At this time, based off the feedback from you being a DSAC member,
we'll put it on our list, which is a very extensive list of upcoming potential updates. Not
saying that it will ultimately get to fruition of becoming one, but we will certainly
research it. Yeah, just set up a meeting with Anthony and our planning team and we can
sit down and understand more of the challenges that maybe you have and maybe we have
a solution for it in our existing standards. I don't know yet. I don't know all the
information at this time yet, but we're certainly willing to look into it.

4. PUBLIC SPEAKERS
None
5. STAFF ANNOUNCEMENTS
a. Zoning Division – [Mike Bosi, Director]
• We have 2 openings on our team. Still trying to find a replacement for Mr. Sabo
as comp. plan manager and another planner 3. Thanks to Ms. Dijon for her
contributions.
• We've got 11 petitions that will be before the BCC between December and the
first meeting in February.
• Over the next two months, we have 8 individual petitions and from the hearing
examiner's perspective there are 11 petitions. The desire for new entitlements is
still growing strong.
3
• We're on the verge of getting to the Planning Commission the housing
amendments that were stalled.
• There are other amendments that we will be working on related to past GMP
amendments and implementing the LDR’s right to implement past amendments.
• I will be meeting with the BCC on Dec. 10th and then I will be out Dec. 11-Jan.
1for a hip replacement but working from home.
b. Community Planning & Resiliency Division – [Christopher Mason, Director]
• Last evening I was at the Bay Shore Triangle CRA meeting and there are folks
there that were interested in talking about flooding and mitigation options for their
homes in certain neighborhoods.
• The state is going to roll out a mitigation program, but we don’t have the details
yet. It will focus on structure, elevation, structure reconstruction and mitigation
and or acquisition or relocation. I think a lot of folks would be looking at
elevation.
• Typically, the County would act as the sponsor to work with State or Federal
entities for projects like this. The State is telling us that they will cut out the
County as a sponsor and work directly with homeowners for mitigation projects.
• There have been rumors that there's about $2 billion for projects. There are 67
Counties in Florida and maybe half are going to vie for money and for projects.
So, I'm cautious at the same time when the State says they're going to go it alone,
because that's a lot of work.
• I don't know if they'll break the State down into regions and have different
contractors for different regions.
• We just haven't been apprised of that information yet. But that is on the horizon.
Look for more for that to come in the future.
c. Economic Development & Housing Division – [Cormac Giblin, Director]
No report
d. Development Review Division – [Jack McKenna, Manager]
• Brett has left the County. We're interviewing for that position and will hopefully
get that filled by Christmas.
• We are also interviewing for Inspectors and hope to have all slots filled by the
first of the year.
• Leroy is our primary Utilities Inspector and has been out for medical issues. He'll
be coming back on the 9th on light duty.
• Good to see everybody again. I haven't been here for a long time.
e. Operations & Regulatory Mgmt. Division – [Michael Stark, Director]
• The Department received 3,880 permit applications; 81 were related to Hurricane
Ian and 117 were related to Hurricane Milton. Average turnaround time for our
intake staff remains at 1 day.
• Zoning front desk team processed 879 survey conditions, 21 short term vacation
rentals, 47 right away renewals and hosted 17 pre application meetings in
November.
4
• Kirsten and the supervisors recently implemented a change to the call center
operations by deploying a total of 24 attendant lines versus the four that we had in
place by cross training our call center team to assist customers of the front counter
review and route permits. These individuals are better prepared to answer your
questions as well as decrease dropped calls and coordinate with peers and
supervisors to learn more about business functions.
• We welcomed 1,145 customers to the business center and satellite offices and
staff has answered 4,880 calls in November.
• Our City View technology team led by Jason Badge welcomed our City View
developer Andy on site. He was able to process updates, upgrades and
programming to improve system functionality.
• At present there are 341 department wide positions. As you heard Mike and the
rest of the team talk about, there are 39 positions that are in various stages of the
hiring, 10 within Building Review and Inspections and some of those are our
Structural Inspectors.
• Fifteen in Code Enforcement, two in Zoning, five in Development Review and
seven in Operations and Regulatory Management. We welcome Heather Yomez
to our team as well. Ray has taken a new position with us as a Budget Analyst
One, so he got a promotion.
f. Building Review & Permitting Division – [Fred Clum, Building Official]
• John McCormick is out of town.
• We did 18,562 inspections in November.
g. Collier County Fire Review – [Michael Cruz, Captain]
• Estimated for Fire Revenue Plans month of November, 41% was incumbent by
instructor inspections. We had one investigator, one investigation done and
completed for the month of November when we were requested out. And we had
two inspectors start on Monday. So now we are at 15.
h. North Collier Fire Review – [Chief Sean Lintz designee Linda]
• North Collier Fire Plan Review for the month of November for building fire
reviews. We reviewed 459 plans for an average of 3 days. Planning reviews 47
plans for an average of 6 days.
i. Code Enforcement Division – [Thomas Iandimarino, Director]
• We just foreclosed on a property in Goodland that was in disrepair for many
years. It sold at auction in November, I think on the 21st. It sold for $400,100.00
and the County bid up to the lien amount of $258,000.00 and change.
• This is highly unusual to go all the way to foreclosure because in my experience,
the County will work with the Homeowner.
Chairman Varian
I’m checking in on your bringing everybody on board with Parks, etc.
5
Thomas Iandiamarino
• We're still working through that. By January 1st is the intent to have that all
happening.
• I’ve been riding with Park Rangers to get out and speak with them. I've got my
supervisors riding along as well.
• A handful of Park Rangers were Code Officers before. There's a lot of cross
training that's already in place.
• We need to rewrite a couple PDs to reclass them and put them where we need
them.
j. Public Utilities Engineering & Project Management Division – [Claudia
Vargas, Project Manager]
• I have no news regarding our charts. We are going to bring the utility standard
menu up. It's listed as its own separate item in the agenda.
k. Transportation Engineering Division – [Jay Ahmad, Director]
• I will be talking to you about reorganization. With the departure of Beth Johnson
who had the Division of Capital Project Planning and impact fees and stormwater.
• I will be managing the stormwater section, transportation, the coastal zone, the
beaches, transportation planning and the sea turtles. Pollution control will be
moving to Road Maintenance.
• They do have quite a bit of projects in stormwater, some of them in Royal
Poinciana Country Club in Naples, Brookside, Lake Trafford. We'll be updating
you on some of these projects in the future. Coastal Zone is doing planting of the
dunes, and Hurricane recovery.
• Park Shore will be renourished early January.
• Lorraine updates you frequently on Transportation Planning Projects and I will be
teaming up with Her as She will be in my department.
• She has the Wilson Study on Golden Gate Parkway options for an overpass,
possibly Livingston over Golden Gate Parkway similar to Airport and Golden
Gate.
• I still have Traffic Operations Design Project, Capital Design Projects and also
the Construction Management.
James Boughton
The Perry Hotel on 41 by The Choctawhatchee. Is there any plan for that Inlet.
It's very, very shallow and I believe there are some docks right there being installed as
part of that project.
Jay Ahmad
I will find out.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Recommended Updates: Utilities Standards Manual
Stephen Sarabia, Project Manager, Engineering & Project Management, PUD
6
Our team has been working on updating the Utility Standards Manual. We met with the
Subcommittee on October 29th and again on November 18th. We're seeking the support,
recommendation and approval from this Committee to have one presenting to Board,
County Commissioners in January.
During our Subcommittee meeting on November 18, there were a few changes that were
mutually agreed upon and we have amended those, and they were provided in the packet
for this meeting. They are pages, 118 to 128.
Our team and Consultant would like to thank the Subcommittee for their time and
supporting our efforts. David Schmidt from Bowman Engineering is here to answer any
questions.
Blair Foley
Made the recommendation for approval as the package is presented today to the Board of
County Commissioners.
Mario Valle seconded
Motion passed unanimously
7. OLD BUSINESS
None
8. COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS
Chairman Varian
David, I'd like to thank you for your time and service here on DSAC. We’ll miss you.
I do want to wish everybody Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The other item is
that our next meeting is January 1st. I don't think anybody wants to come in. So, the
recommendation would be to kick it to February at our normal time.
