Item # 16.M.1
ID# 2026-34
Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve a work order with APTIM Environmental & Infrastructure, LLC to provide professional
engineering services for 2027-2028 Local Government Funding Request under Contract No. 18-7432-CZ for lump sum
not to exceed $28,462 and make a finding that this item promotes tourism. (Fund 1105, Project No. 90065)
OBJECTIVE: To move forward with preparation of the 2027-2028 Local Government Funding Request ("LGFR") for
Collier County’s shore protection projects.
CONSIDERATIONS: APTIM Environmental & Infrastructure, LLC ("APTIM") will assist the County with
preparation of the 2027-2028 LGFR for Collier County’s coastal protection projects; South Marco Island and Collier
County Beach Renourishment projects; and the County’s inlet projects: Wiggins Pass and Doctors Pass. APTIM will
evaluate all the elements of the coastal projects as they apply to the Florida Administrative Code and the LGFR
application and guidance documents will be evaluated to increase Florida Department of Environmental Protection
("FDEP") ranking and cost-sharing opportunities where applicable. Additionally, APTIM will update the application
response to account for the modification of the LGFR based on the latest rating guidelines, rules, and current project
cost information. Once APTIM has completed a draft of the LGFR application, it will provide it to Collier County for
review and comment prior to submittal to FDEP. Collier County participates in the LGFR process annually.
FDEP will review the application and may issue a Request for Additional Information ("RAI"). APTIM will respond to
FDEP’s RAI and provide additional information to the FDEP on behalf of Collier County. FDEP then reviews the
applications in detail and provides initial project rankings and assessments. Collier County may respond to the initial
project assessment. APTIM will review the assessment on behalf of Collier County and, if appropriate, prepare a letter
to FDEP identifying areas within the application that could earn additional points for the County. To proceed, the
County will issue a Work Order under Contract No. 18-7432-CZ, which was approved by the Board on March 10, 2020
(Agenda Item 16.E.4).
ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: This item was presented and approved at the Coastal
Advisory Committee on January 8, 2026 (7-0), and will be presented to the Tourist Development Council on February
20, 2026.
This item aligns with the Infrastructure and Asset Management element of Collier County’s Strategic Plan by
proactively addressing the impacts of natural disasters on our critical infrastructure and natural resources.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for the proposed work order, in the amount of $28,462 is available in the Tourist
Development Beach Renourishment Fund (1105), Project No. 90065, FDEP LGFR Analysis. The source of funding is
tourist development tax revenue. Funding for this work order will not be requested for reimbursement from any grantor
agency.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This item is consistent with the Conservation and Coastal Management
Element of the County’s Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. –
CMG
RECOMMENDATION(S): To approve a work order with APTIM Environmental & Infrastructure, LLC to provide
