Agenda 11/12/2013 Item #16C1n
11/12/2013 16.C.1.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the Agreement for Fire Department Accessible Raw Water
Connections between Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District, Golden Gate Fire
Control District, and Collier County Water -Sewer District to provide access to supplemental water
sources for fighting fires.
OBJECTIVE: Provide access to Collier County Water -Sewer District (CCWSD) raw water
supplies as a supplemental water source for firefighting capabilities in the rural areas of Collier
County.
CONSIDERATIONS: The CCWSD has historically provided access to raw water in the well
fields via the raw water booster station hydrant and wellheads fitted with connections as a
supplemental source of water to fight fires in the eastern areas of Collier County where fire
hydrants are generally not available for this purpose. The CCWSD has been approached by both
the Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District and the Golden Gate Fire Control
District (Fire Districts) requesting additional fitted well heads. All parties wish to formalize the
historical arrangement with a Board of County Commissioners approved agreement.
The Fire Districts have presented their additional needs, and the CCWSD currently has two well
heads available which can be retrofitted appropriately for connections to draw water from the
n raw water supply. These well heads are located in the area of
1. 1 e Avenue and Wilson Boulevard, which can be retrofitted within 12 months; and,
2. Wilson Boulevard and Immokalee Road, which can be retrofitted within 24 months,
following the integration of the Orange Tree Utility into the CCWSD.
The agreement identifies the terms and conditions and well field access protocols, which include
no guarantee of raw water availability or water quality. The CCWSD will perform the retrofit,
and the Fire Districts will bear all costs related to the retrofit.
FISCAL 51PACT: There is no fiscal impact to the CCWSD Operating Fund (408) or the Water
Capital Fund (412) since all retrofit costs will be reimbursed by the Fire Districts.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires
majority vote for Board approval. —SRT
GROWTH MANAGEMENT RAPACT: These projects meet the current Growth Management
Plan standards to ensure the adequacy and availability of viable public facilities.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners, Ex- officio the Governing
Board of the Collier County Water -Sewer District, approve the Agreement for Fire Department
Accessible Raw Water Connections between Big Corkscrew Fire Control and Rescue District,
Golden Gate Fire Control District, and Collier County Water -Sewer District to provide access to
supplemental water sources for fighting fires; and, authorize the Chairwoman to sign the
Agreement after review and approval by the County Attorney.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual understandings and considerations
contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. The CCWSD will allow the Fire Districts to withdraw water for the purpose of fighting
fires from the following agreed upon CCWSD sources:
a. Raw Water Booster Station hydrant located at 841 7th Street SW
b. 6 existing wellhead connections at Tamiami Wells 11, 14, l9, 23, 24, and 30
c. and any mutually agreeable additional wellheads (2 currently identified) once they
are retrofitted with connections.
• The mutually agreeable and identified location in the area of 10'h Ave. NE
and Wilson Blvd will be retrofitted within 12 months.
• The mutually agreeable and identified location in the area of Wilson Blvd.
and Immokalee Road will be retrofitted within 24 months.
2. Attached as Exhibit "A" is a map showing the locations of current existing and identified
mutually agreeable connections. Should those connection sites change, the CCWSD will
provide updated maps to the Fire Districts.
3. The CCWSD will provide a map showing the locations of current watermains in the
Tamiami Wellfield, and will provide updated maps upon request. Example included as
Exhibit "B."
4. There is no guarantee of water availability. At times no raw water is flowing through
portions of the wellfield (i.e., during annual pigging of the raw water transmission mains,
during periodic planned or unplanned maintenance of wells or the raw water distribution
system, etc.). These raw water connections should be considered only as supplemental to
regularly utilized sources of water.
5. There is no guarantee of water quality or suitability for use in fighting fires. The water is
available "as is," and the CCWSD disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied,
as to the water's suitability for fighting fires. It is understood and accepted by the Fire
Districts that their use of the water is wholly at their discretion and risk.
6. The CCWSD is responsible to complete the work to retrofit additional mutually agreeable
wellheads with connections within its current work program.
7. The Fire Districts will bear all costs related to retrofit of additional mutually agreeable
wellheads with connections. The current cost is approximately $750 - $1,000 per
connection. Payment to the CCWSD shall be promptly made by the Fire Districts within
thirty (30) days upon presentment of an invoice detailing the retrofit costs.
8. The first source of water should be from the fire hydrant located at the Raw Water
Booster Station. This location provides for ingress from 7' Street SW with egress to 9`h
Packet Page -1429-
11/12/2013 16.C.1.
Street SW, facilitating a smooth flow for vehicles in and out of the site. The protocol for
obtaining water from the Raw Water Booster Station is as follows:
a. The Fire Districts shall contact the South County Regional Water Treatment Plant
( SCRWTP) at (239) 252 -6115 to inform Operations personnel that they are at the
gate to the RWBS and request permission to begin to fill their tanks. The
SCRWTP is staffed 24 / 7 / 365. In the unlikely event an alternate contact is
needed, Fire Districts shall contact:
a Pamela Libby, Distribution - Wellfield Manager, at 239 - 253 -0215 or
a Ken Kinaszczuck, Senior Field Supervisor, 239 - 825 -1738 or
• Steve Messner, Water Director at 239 - 822 -4659.
b. CCWSD will dispatch CCWSD personnel to the site.
c. Fire Districts' personnel may enter the site utilizing the automatic gate code and
begin to fill their tanks from the fire hydrant located approximately 200 feet from
the entrance on the right (north) side of the property while CCWSD personnel are
in route.
d. Fire Districts' personnel must record the amount of water taken along with times
and dates of use to submit with their monthly water usage report to the CCWSD
by the 100 of each month.
e. Failure to request and / or obtain permission prior to taking water or failure to
submit water use records to the CCWSD will result in termination of this
agreement as the South Florida Water Management District and the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection require recording and reporting of all
raw and finished water usage.
9. Should the need arise for additional water resources, the Fire Districts may request use of
other connections at Tamiami Wells located throughout the Golden Gate Estates area.
The Fire Districts shall use the following protocol to gain access to those secondary raw
water resources:
a. The Fire Districts shall contact the South County Regional Water Treatment Plant
( SCRWTP) Operations personnel at 252 -6115. The SCRWTP is staffed 24 / 7 /
365. In the unlikely event an alternate contact is needed, Fire Districts shall
contact:

a Ken Kinaszczuck, Senior Field Supervisor, 239 -825 -1738 or
a Steve Messner, Water Director at 239- 822 -4659.
