Agenda 04/08/2025 Item #16B 3 (An Agreement to provide partial funding to the Greater Naples Fire & Rescue District)4/8/2025
Item # 16.B.3
ID# 2025-797
Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute an Agreement to provide partial funding in the
amount of $399,772.00 to the Greater Naples Fire and Rescue District, a Special District created by Laws of Florida,
Chapter 2014-240, from revenue derived from the GAC Trust Fund-Land Sales, to purchase a Water Tender Truck, and
to authorize the necessary Budget Amendment.
OBJECTIVE: To approve an Agreement for funding from GAC Trust Fund-Land Sales to the Greater Naples Fire and
Rescue District, (“District”), in order to partially fund a Water Tender Truck.
CONSIDERATIONS: On November 15, 1983, Avatar Properties Inc., and Collier County (“County”) entered into an
Agreement (“1983 Agreement”) that dedicated 1,061.5 acres of property in Golden Gate Estates to the County. The
dedication came with the stipulation that the land itself or money derived from the sale of the land would be used by the
County for purposes directly beneficial to the residents of Golden Gate Estates, i.e., fire and police protection facilities
and services, public schools, libraries, and recreational facilities. The 1983 Agreement also provided that all capital
improvements must be physically located within the geographical boundaries of Golden Gate Estates.
At the October 14, 2024, regular meeting of the Golden Gate Estates Land Trust Committee (“Committee”), the District
made a presentation to the Committee requesting funding to purchase a Water Tender Truck built by the Fouts Bros Inc.,
(“truck”), with a quoted cost of $499,715. The dealer's proposal and truck specifications are attached. The District
proposed purchasing a replacement truck identical to the one acquired for the new Station 74, which would allow for the
replacement of an aging vehicle and improve emergency response capabilities. Given the lack of fire hydrants in Golden
Gate Estates, water tenders are critical to the District's operations. The District recommended an 80/20 cost split, and the
Committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Board provide the District with $399,772.
Due to the unique features of the Water Tender Truck and to ensure availability, the District acted promptly to engage
the vendor and secure its purchase. The truck was delivered on February 21, 2025, and is now in service. As such, the
attached agreement provides that the District has already purchased the truck, and this purchase shall be eligible for
reimbursement. This purchase aligns with the Committee’s recommendation from October 14, 2024, and was approved
by the District on November 14, 2024.
The proposed truck will be housed at Station 71, located on 13th Street SW in Golden Gate Estates. To adhere to the
terms of the 1983 Agreement, the District has agreed to respond to other Districts and use the truck to fight fires within
the boundaries of Golden Gate Estates.
This item is consistent with the Quality of Place Element of Collier County’s Strategic Plan by supporting and
enhancing commitment to robust public safety services and maintaining a fully responsive, best-in-class emergency
management capability.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the agreement will result in reimbursement of up to $399,772.00 to the Greater Naples
Fire and Rescue District for the purchase of a new Water Tender Truck. A budget amendment, in the amount of
$399,772.00, will be required in FY 2025 to reallocate funding from reserves within GAC Trust Fund (1057) for the
reimbursement.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This item is consistent with the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote for approval.
-SAA
RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the attached Agreement to provide
funding to the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District in the amount of $399,772.00 and authorize the necessary Budget
Amendment.

Dear GAC Land Trust,
I am writing to request funding assistance from you on behalf of the Greater Naples Fire
Rescue District. We need to replace Water Tender 71, which is currently located at Fire Station
71 in Golden Gate Estates. The truck is old and needs regular maintenance, which is becoming
increasingly expensive. This is why we need your help.
The proposed replacement truck will be identical to the one we purchased for the new Station 74.
This will allow us to replace the aging truck and better respond to emergencies in the area. As
you may know, Golden Gate Estates has a lack of fire hydrants, so water tenders are critical to
our response needs.
The proposed truck is a 3000-gallon water tender built on a Kenworth Chassis by the Fouts
Brother Corporation. The total cost for the apparatus is $499,715.00. We are proposing an 80/20
split, with a cost to GAC Land Trust of $399,772.00.
We value our longstanding relationship with the GAC Land Trust and hope that you will
consider our request for funding assistance.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Chris Wolfe
Interim Fire Chief.
