Agenda 09/23/2014 Item #16A349/23/2014 16.A.34.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve proposed revisions to the Construction Standards Handbook for
Work Within the Public Right -of -Way, relating to performance bonds for improvements in the
public rights -of -way, and certain cosmetic revisions, and to allow staff to further amend the
Handbook for future Board consideration.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain Board of County Commissioners (Board) approval of proposed
revisions to the Construction Standards Handbook for Work within the Public Right -of -Way
( "Handbook "), relating to bonding requirements for improvements in the public right -of -way and
cosmetic revisions, and to obtain Board approval for further changes not previously authorized.
CONSIDERATIONS: On April 8, 2014, under Item 1 LE, the Board reviewed various aspects
of permitting for improvements in the public rights -of -way. Following a discussion on the item,
the Board directed staff to take appropriate action to address liability concerns for major projects
for improvements in the public rights -of -way.
As a result of this direction, staff prepared proposed revisions to the Construction Standards
Handbook for Work within the Public Right -of -Way (Handbook). The proposed revisions would
update the Handbook's existing provisions relating to performance bonds, by establishing
thresholds for posting of such bonds. Under these updated provisions, any improvement project
in the public right -of -way that exceeds $250,000 will require a performance bond. Every project
in excess of $500,000 would require a performance bond and a Board- approved agreement. An
exception for utility companies and franchisees with established uses within the public right -of-
way would allow these entities to submit a blanket performance bond, in lieu of the new bonding
requirements, to cover maintenance and repairs.
During the course of preparing revisions to the Handbook, it became apparent that the Handbook
will need further revision for consistency with current standards. Some obvious cosmetic
revisions are included in the proposed update (e.g., references to the Transportation Services
Division have been updated, basic definitions added), and further revisions remain. Board
approval of these further revisions to the Handbook is also being requested.
These proposed revisions were presented to the Development Services Advisory Committee
(DSAC) on May 7, 2014. After reviewing the proposed revisions, the DSAC voted unanimously
in favor of forwarding the proposed revisions to the Board for approval.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated
with this Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is
approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK

authorize staff to make any further necessary revisions to the Handbook for future Board
consideration.

existing facilities, ease of maintenance, and future development of the roadway network. This Handbook
provides standards, procedures, and guidelines for construction and ; S'nance within the public right -of -way
that are in the best interests of and for the protection of the public.
Included in this Handbook are drawings and illustrations that r Collier County minimum construction
and installation requirements permitted within the public righ hich include reference to the most

These requirements may be modified or waived by the County Manager or his designee when
physical conditions at the site make their application impractical or when the road is to be
reconstructed as part of an approved CIE (Capital Improvement Element). While traffic volumes
usually do not require separate turn lanes until the specified volumes are reached, developers
shall include them with the initial project access construction. This policy will be less costly than
stage construction and there will be only one period of disruption to existing traffic.
Requirements may be modified at the discretion of the County Manager or his designee on a
case by case basis. , >,

PURPOSE: To establish standards for electronic design drawings and as -built drawings for capital improvements within
County road rights -of -ways that allow efficient migration of the data to the County's geographic information system
(GIS).
INTRODUCTION: Microstation and AutoCAD are the accepted so ftw electronic drawings for design and as-
built drawings because they offer statewide or national standards, inc ing of information. The intent of the
layering standard is to promote consistency between drawings and ze sability of drawing data. The
effective use of layering standards also facilitates the efficient tr e f data to graphical information for display,
editing, and plotting purposes. Layer/Level naming conventi be followed roval.
