Agenda 04/08/2014 Item #16K14/8/2014 16.K.1.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize an increase to the purchase order for Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson,
P.A. ( "Nabors Giblin ") relating to services on the Orange Tree Utilih7 Company Integration Project.
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners, and as the Ex- Officio Governing Board of the
Collier County Water -Sewer District, authorize an increase of $50,000.00 to the existing purchase order for
outside counsel Nabors Giblin to provide continued services related to the Orange Tree Utility Company
integration project.
CONSIDERATIONS: The County retained the law firm of Nabors Giblin to assist the County in the
acquisition and integration of the Orange Tree Utility Company into the Collier County Water -Sewer
District.
The County's Continuing Retention Agreement with Nabors Giblin dated September 10, 2013 states, in part.
at Exhibit A: "Nabors, Giblin's fee shall not exceed $100,000.00 without the approval of the Board of
County Commissioners. Any expenditure beyond the initial $100,000.00 approval by the Board of County
Commissioners must have Board approval prior to work being performed."
On January 14, 2014 (item 16K3) the Board previously approved increasing the Purchase Order above the
initial $100,000 sum in the amount of $50,000. This project is complex and requires a significant amount of
time to be spent by Nabors Giblin and staff in performing the required due diligence that comes with
acquiring a water -sewer utility company. It is anticipated that Nabors Giblin's participation in the project
will be concluding in the next several months.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are budgeted for the referenced outside counsel fees in the Public Utilities
Division Water User Fee Capital Fund (412) project 71058 and Wastewater User Fee Capital Fund (414)
project 71 058 .
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majoring
vote for Board approval. —SRT
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners, and as the Ex- Officio Governing
Board of the Collier County Water -Sewer District, authorize an increase of $50,000.00 to the existing
purchase order for outside counsel Nabors Giblin to provide continued services related to the Orange Tree
Utility Company integration project.
