Agenda 02/11/2025 Item #16C 1 (Awarding ITB Contract #24-8282 for the Golden Gate Master Pump Station and Site Improvements to Douglas N. Higgins, Inc.)2/11/2025 Item # 16.C.1 ID# 2025-46 Executive Summary Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners, as ex-officio the Governing Board of the Collier County Water-Sewer District, award Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 24-8282, “Golden Gate Master Pump Station and Site Improvements,” to Douglas N. Higgins, Inc., in the amount of $3,043,340, approve an Owner’s Allowance of $300,000, and authorize the Chairman to sign the attached Agreement. (Project 70243) OBJECTIVE: To construct a new wastewater master pump station and site improvements to enable flow between the Golden Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant and the North, South or Northeast County Water Reclamation Facility to increase system reliability. CONSIDERATIONS: The 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, when 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. On April 28, 2020 (Agenda Item 16.C.13), the Board awarded the Engineer of Record Tetra Tech, Inc. (the “EOR”) with Request for Professional Services/Agreement Number 19-7621, "Golden Gate Wastewater Engineer of Record (EOR) and Infrastructure Improvements.” Task 3 of the EOR’s Agreement, New Master Pump Station and Force Main System, requires professional engineering services for a new master pump station and force main capable of conveying flow to or from the regional wastewater system through a connection to the existing 20-inch force main on Santa Barbara Boulevard. This connection to the regional system allows for flow transfer between the Golden Gate area and the North County Water Reclamation Facility, South County Water Reclamation Facility, and Northeast Service Area. The proposed scope of work under ITB No. 24-8282 only includes the Master Pump Station and associated site improvements. The Board previously approved the accompanying force-main on February 13, 2024 (Agenda Item 16.C.1), which is currently nearing completion. Completing this second phase of the planned Master Pump Station and Force Main System will allow the transfer of flow from the Golden Gate area to the regional system for maintenance and repair activities at the Golden Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant. This item is consistent with the Infrastructure and Asset Management element of the Collier County Strategic Plan objectives. On September 12, 2024, the Procurement Services Division issued ITB No. 24-8282, “Golden Gate Master Pump Station and Site Improvements. The County was advertised the ITB for fifty-five (55) days, and received five bids by the November 6, 2024, deadline as summarized below: Respondents: Company Name City County State Total Bid Responsive/ Responsible Douglas N.

(“Higgins”) being the Page 1648 of 3773 2/11/2025 Item # 16.C.1 ID# 2025-46 lowest, responsive and responsible bidder. Staff recommends that the attached Agreement be awarded to Higgins for the total bid amount of $3,043,340.00. In addition to the total bid amount, staff is allocating $300,000 as an Owner’s Allowance for unanticipated costs including, but not limited to, unforeseen site conditions that might be encountered during construction. The Owner’s Allowance will be included in the Purchase Order but its use is not guaranteed, and will only be directed by the County if necessary. Payment for allowance work is subject to the contractor providing proper documentation for any work authorized and performed under the allowance. The EOR evaluated the bids and determined that Higgins met all the qualifications required for this project and submitted the lowest, responsive and responsible bid. Higgins’ bid is approximately 1% below the EOR’s $3,086,380.00 opinion of probable cost for the project. Higgins is a Michigan corporation registered to do business in Florida since 1973. Higgins is currently one of the nine approved contractors on the County’s Agreement #20-7800 for underground contractor services and has successfully performed work on many County public utilities projects. Staff and the EOR recommend that Douglas N. Higgins, Inc.be awarded the attached Agreement in the low bid amount of $3,043,340.00, plus the $300,000 Owner’s Allowance. FISCAL IMPACT: The source of funding is the Water and Sewer Revenue Bond, Series 2021 (Fund 4019), $3,043,340.00 for the bid, $300,000 for the allowance, and $500,000 for future permitting and materials purchases, Project 70243 GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This project meets current Growth Management Plan standards to ensure the adequacy and availability of viable public facilities.
