Agenda 05/23/2017 Item #11A05/23/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to award bid number 17-7056, “Imperial Golf Course Boulevard Water Main
Replacement,” Project Number 70134, to Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., in the amount of
$1,124,529.90, and authorize the necessary budget amendment.
OBJECTIVE: To replace a section of failing water main to provide a compliant and reliable potable
water system to the Collier County Water-Sewer District customers in the Imperial Golf Course
community, located east of Tamiami Trail North (U.S. 41).
CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed scope of work for Project 70134, “Imperial Golf Course Boulevard
Water Main Replacement,” is consistent with the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) contained in the
2014 Water, Wastewater, Irrigation Quality Water, and Bulk Potable Water Master Plan/CIP Plan
approved by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on November 10, 2015, as Agenda Item 9C, as
Appendix III of the 2015 AUIR/CIE.
The Imperial Golf Course Boulevard water distribution system was installed in the late 1970s. The
project consists of the replacement of approximately 7,800 linear feet of 12-inch cast iron potable water
main. The project will also include replacing approximately 900 linear feet of 6 -inch and 8-inch water
main on Weybridge Circle which intersects with Imperial Golf Course Boulevard. The area is bound by
U.S 41 on the west side and the Imperial Golf Course Club House on the east side. The condition of this
asset is defined as “Red: Level 3 - Risked Compliance,” as reported to the Board at the October 1, 2013
Asset Assessment and Management Workshop.
The water main has reached the end of its useful life, and presents significant risk due to its materials,
age, and condition. Small leaks and breaks can easily become large failures, as evidenc ed by past
incidents in the subdivision, affecting more residents for longer periods of time. There are a limited
number of isolation valves in the area, hindering operational control during maintenance of the
distribution system. This potable water main replacement project will benefit the Imperial Golf Course
community by increasing reliability and improving water quality.
On November 7, 2016, the Procurement Services Division released notices of Invitation to Bid No. 17-
7056 to 2,156 vendors for construction of “Imperial Golf Course Blvd Water Main Replacement.”
Seventy-eight bid packages were downloaded, and six bids received on December 22, 2016. The bids are
summarized below and in Attachment 1.

with this project and a joint restraint investigation and installation allowance of $85,000 for owner -
directed additional work including, but not limited to, investigation to determine if existing pipe restraints
are present, and installation of pipe restraints to existing water mains associated with this project. The
price for any needed additional work will be negotiated prior to commencement in accordance with the
County’s Procurement Ordinance and the terms of the Agreement.
County staff determined that the lowest bid was non-responsive. That determination was made because,
although he provided references, the vendor had not performed any prior underground work in the state of
Florida, had no soil or water table familiarity in Florida, had no staff or equipment in Florida, had not
registered his business nor paid a business tax receipt. Procurement staff interviewed this vendor prior to
deeming him non-responsive.
County staff determined the second lowest bid to be fair and reasonable and recommends award ing the
project to Quality Enterprises, Inc., the lowest and responsive vendor. The bid received was 3.6 percent
more than the engineer’s cost opinion. In their recommendation letter, dated March 21, 2017 (Attachment
3), the design professional, RWA, Inc., recommends awarding the construction agreement (Attachment 5)
to Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., who has a satisfactory performance and warranty record on previous,
similar, utility-related projects.
FISCAL IMPACT: The source of funding is the Water User Fee Fund (412). A budget amendment is
required from Project 70130 in the amount of $300,000. The project is expected to be completed in 2018.
This is a replacement project; therefore, operating costs will remain the same or decrease.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority
vote for Board approval. -SRT
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This project meets current Growth Management Plan
standards to ensure the adequacy and availability of viable public facilities.
RECOMMENDATION: To award bid number 17-7056, “Imperial Golf Course Boulevard Water Main
Replacement,” Project Number 70134, to Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., in the amount of $1,124,529.90;
authorize the necessary budget amendment; and, authorize the Chair to sign the attached Agreement.

Section 13. Sales Tax
13.1 The Successful Bidder acknowledges and agrees that Owner may utilize a sales tax
savings program and the Successful Bidder agrees to fully comply, at no additional cost to
Owner, with such sales tax savings program implemented by the Owner as set forth in the
Agreement and in accordance with Owner’s policies and procedures.
Section 14. Exclusion of County Permits in Bid Prices
14.1 To ensure compliance with Section 218.80, F.S., otherwise known as “The Public Bid
Disclosure Act”, Collier County will pay the Contractor for all Collier County permits and fees
applicable to the Project, including license fees, permit fees, impact fees or inspection fees
applicable to this Work through an internal budget transfer(s). Hence, bidders shall not include
these permit/fee amounts in their bid offer. However, the Successful Bidder shall retain the
responsibility to initiate and complete all necessary and appropriate actions to obtain the
required permits other than payment for the items identified in this section. Owner will not be
obligated to pay for any permits obtained by Subcontractors.
14.2 The Successful Bidder shall be responsible for procuring and paying for all necessary
permits not issued by Collier County pursuant to the prosecution of the work.
Section 15. Use of Subcontractors

professional and timely manner, all Subcontractors performing any portion of the work on this
Project shall be “qualified” as defined in Collier County Ordinance 2013-69, as amended,
meaning a person or entity that has the capability in all respects to perform fully the Agreement
requirements and has the integrity and reliability to assure good faith performance. A
Subcontractor’s disqualification from bidding by the Owner, or other public contracting entity
within the past twelve months shall be considered by the Owner when determining whether the
Subcontractors are “qualified.”
15.2 The Owner may consider the past performance and capability of a Subcontractor when
evaluating the ability, capacity and skill of the Bidder and its ability to perform the Agreement
within the time required. Owner reserves the right to disqualify a Bidder who includes
Subcontractors in its bid offer which are not “qualified” or who do not meet the legal
requirements applicable to and necessitated by this Agreement.
15.3 The Owner may reject all bids proposing the use of any subcontractors who have been
disqualified from submitting bids to the Owner, disqualified or de-certified for bidding purposes
by any public contracting entity, or who has exhibited an inability to perform through any other
means.
15.4 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, the Bidders shall
identify the subcontractor(s) it intends to use for the categories of work as set forth in the List of
Subcontracts attached hereto, said list to be submitted with its bid. Bidders acknowledge and
agree that the subcontractors identified on the list is not a complete list of the subcontractors to
be used on the Project, but rather only the major subcontractors for each category of Work as
established by Owner. Bidders further acknowledge that once there is an Award of Contract,
10
Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities: Revised 08312016
the Successful Bidder shall identify, subject to Owner’s review and approval, all the
subcontractors it intends to use on the Project. Once approved by Owner, no subcontractor
shall be removed or replaced without Owner’s prior written approval.
Section 16. Prohibition of Gifts
No organization or individual shall offer or give, either directly or indirectly, any favor, gift, loan,
fee, service or other item of value to any County employee, as set forth in Chapter 112, Part III,

contact with County staff for a specified period of time; b. Prohibition by the individual and/or
firm from doing business with the County for a specified period of time, including but not limited
to: submitting bids, RFP, and/or quotes; and, c. immediate termination of any contract held by
the individual and/or firm for cause.
Section 17. Lobbying
All firms are hereby placed on NOTICE that the Board of County Commissioners does
not wish to be lobbied, either individually or collectively about a project for which a firm
has submitted a response.
Firms and their agents are not to contact members of the County Commission for such
purposes as meeting or introduction, luncheons, dinners, etc. During the process, from
solicitation closing to final Board approval, no firm or their agent shall contact any other
employee of Collier County in reference to this solicitation, or the vendor’s response, with the
exception of the Procurement Director or his designee(s). Failure to abide by this provision may
serve as grounds for disqualification for award of this contract to the firm.

with the terms of Section 287.133(2)(a) of the Florida Statutes which read as follows:
