Agenda 11/13/2012 Item #16C311/13/2012 Item 16.C.3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve Amendment No. 2 to Contract No. GC -690, "Agreement For Storage Tank System Compliance Verification Program for Collier County ", between the Collier County Board of County Commissioners and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to continue administering the pollutant storage tank compliance verification program for regulated tanks. OBJECTIVE: To continue administering the pollutant storage tank compliance verification program under Sections 62 -761 & 62 -762, Florida Administrative Code, for regulated tanks under a modification of the contract with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). CONSIDERATIONS: The Solid Waste Management Department (Department) is responsible to administer the pollutant storage tank compliance verification program for regulated tanks. Since 1992, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) has continuously maintained contracts with the FDEP pertaining to regulated tanks. The current contract, GC -690, is a ten -year contract that authorizes the County to administer, as the `local program,' the compliance verification program for regulated facilities located in Collier County. The main activities and duties under the Contract are to inspect. on a rotational basis, and monitor for compliant operation, the approximately 700 tanks at 380 facilities in the County. Each year about 250 tanks inspections are conducted, including closures, installations, and compliance notifications and follow -ups. Duties also include entry of the inspection results into the State database, cleanup enforcement activities, and the tracking of compulsory notifications by tank owners of unusual operation conditions. The objective of the program is to protect the groundwater, lands, and surface waters of Collier County from pollutants stored in regulated tanks. Contract GC -690 began July 1, 2007, and will end on June 30, 2017. Contract GC -690 was signed by the Board Chairman on June 26, 2007, followed by Amendment No. 1, signed by the Board Chairman on March 25, 2009. Annually, task assignments are issued to the County by the FDEP specifying the facilities to be inspected and in what priority order. The GC -690 Amendment No. 2 changes are summarized as follows. Task assignments have been paid on a fixed -price basis contingent upon the number of regulated tanks in the County. Amendment No. 2 changes the fixed -price task assignment compensation to a fee - schedule contingent upon the number of inspections completed during the task assignment. The fee schedule also covers unscheduled work such as emergency response activities. In addition, paragraphs were stricken or modified to remove checks and balances that were in place as a result of the fixed -price compensation system: cost recovery, the requirement for a separate cost center, equipment and the year -end financial statement. 2. Several wording clarifications to paragraphs were made without changing the purpose therein. 3. The monetary penalty for an inspector failing to pass consecutive training courses of the same material was stricken. Packet Page -1933- 11/13/2012 Item 16.C.3. 4. The minimum job classification level requirement for clerical work was stricken. 5. Language binding the FDEP to hold a program -wide group meeting and supervisor's meeting annually was removed. 6. Submission of invoices was changed from hardcopy to electronic copy. 7. The `conflict of interest' prohibitions for personnel working in a related field were clarified. 8. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's E -Verify system requirements were added for new hires. FISCAL IMPACT: The County is forecast to receive approximately $425,000 over the next five years from the FDEP in annual task assignments. The FY 2013 revenue forecast was $81,000 under this contract. Staff believes that this remains the best revenue estimate following Amendment No. 2 to the contract. Total Cost of the County's Storage Tank Inspection program is $ 171,600. The estimated revenue from this contract with FDEP will provide 47% of the County's funding. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is legally sufficient for Board Action. - ST GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This program partially satisfies Goal 3 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element, which states "The County shall protect the County's groundwater resources to ensure the highest water quality practical." This program is also specified in Objective 9.4 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element, which requires "The County to establish a local storage tank program." RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners authorizes the Chairman to sign Amendment No. 2 to Contract No. GC -690, "Agreement For Storage Tank System Compliance Verification Program for Collier County ", between the Collier County Board of County Commissioners and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to continue administering the pollutant storage tank compliance verification program for regulated tanks and, authorize the Chairman to execute the Amendment. Prepared by: Philip Snyderburn, Senior Environmental Specialist Solid & Hazardous Waste Management Department Packet Page -1934- 11113/2012 Item 16.C.3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Contract No. GC690 authorizing Collier County to administer FDEP's Storage Tank System Compliance Verification Program along with all necessary budget amendments and to approve FDEP Contract GC526 Amendment No. 4 authorizing the termination of FDEP Contract No. GC526. OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approve Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Contract No. GC690 with all necessary budget amendments and approve FDEP Contract No. GC526 Amendment No. 4 which will terminate the current contract, GC526, between Collier County and the FDEP at the start date of the new contract, GC690. CONSIDERATION: GC690 will function primarily as a continuance of GC526. GC526 is the current ten year contract between the FDEP and Collier County concerning the regulation of pollutant storage tanks within the County set to end on June 30, 2007 upon approval of Amendment No. 4 found herein. Likewise, GC690 is a ten year contract that authorizes Collier County to regulate pollutant storage tank facilities within the County governed by Rules 62 -761, 62 -762, and 62N -16, Florida Administrative Code; and Chapter 376, Florida Statutes. 1. Collier County will function as the `local program' (administrator) for the pollutant storage tanks program under the provisions of FDEP Contract No. GC690. 2. The objective of the program is to protect the groundwater, lands, and surface waters of Collier County from pollutants through the implementation FDEP Contract No. GC690. GC526 Amendment No. 4 will authorize the change of the termination date of GC526 from October 21, 2007 to June 30, 2007. DEP Contract No. GC690 will begin July 1, 2007 and it will end June 30, 2017. The simulataneous approval of GC526 Amendment No. 4 and GC690 will allow for the seamless implementation of the Pollutant Storage Tank Compliance Verification Program from the current contract to the new contract without interuption, thereby allowing the County to continue offering customer service that exceeds expectations to its citizens. Packet Page -1935- 11/13/2012 Item 16.C.3. Failure to approve GC690 would require one of the two options: 1. Modification of Objective 9.4 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element to remove the requirement of a local storage tank program in the County; or 2. Adoption of local ordinances to meet the 'requirements of Objective 9.4 that would require full funding by the citizens of Collier County rather than the cost share that is currently in place. FISCAL IMPACT: Compensation received from the FDEP for contract execution is dependent upon annual task assignments, which is directly related to the number of regulated storage tanks found within the County. The number of regulated storage tanks fluctuates due to the installation and closure of tanks, but the trend has been an increase in the number of regulated tanks due to the County's growth. Historically, the task assignment amount paid by the. FDEP to the County is approximately 80 % -85% of the County's cost center handing for the program. The County is forecast to receive approximately $1.700,000 over the next 10 years from the FDEP, while having a cost share of approximately $300,000 to $400,000 to fund the program over the same time frame through a cost center in Hind 114. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This program partially satisfies Goal 3 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element, which states "The County shall protect the County's groundwater resources to ensure the highest water quality practical." This program is also specified in Objective 9.4 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element, which requires "The County to establish a local storage tank program." RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners: 1. Authorize the Chairman to sign the attached FDEP Contract No. GC690 with the FDEP. 2. Authorize the Chairman to sign the attached FDEP Contract GC526 Amendment No. 4 with the FDEP. 3. Authorize the staff to execute FDEP Contract No. GC690 including necessary budget amendments and operations. 4. Authorize staff to execute annual task assignments.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to accept and sign Amendment No. 1 to the Department of Environmental- Protection Contract No. GC690, authorizing the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to change the existing Statement of Revenue, Expenses and Fund Balance deadline requirements, and to eliminate the required submittals of the Storage Tank System Leak Autopsy Form and the Underwriters Laboratories Flex -Pipe Incident Notification Form to DEP. OBJECTIVE: To amend the DEP Contract No. GC690 as requested by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). CONSIDERATIONS: DEP Contract No. GC690 generates $158,530.20 per year in revenue for Pollution Control Department (PCD) through the inspection of petroleum and chemical storage tanks that are required to be registered with the DEP on a annual basis. The intent of Amendment No. 1 to DEP Contract No. GC690 is to change the existing deadline from 45 days of the payment of the 12`h invoice, to within 60 days of the end of the State fiscal year (June 30). This amendment will change an approximate deadline based on payment to an exact deadline based on the end of DEP's fiscal year (June 30). The existing contract language requires that DEP will withhold from payment of the final invoice a penalty of percent of the contract total, should Collier County not submit a year end financial summary statement by the designated date. DEP is requiring this amendment for all entities under this contract, though meeting this requirement has not been an issue with Collier County since the time it was awarded its first Tanks Assignment Contract by the DEP in the late 1980s. Each year to date, the PCD has submitted the required Statement of Revenue, Expenses and Fund Balance to the DEP within the required time. Amendment No. I to DEP Contract No. GC690 also deletes Paragraph 5.11. and S.I., which eliminates the required submittal of the Storage Tank System Leak Autopsy Forms (5.1-1.) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Flex -Pipe Incident Notification Form (5.1) to DEP. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no anticipated financial impact associated with this executive summary or the actions recommended herein. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office, is not quasi-judicial and requires no ex pane disclosure, requires only a majority vote for approval, and is otherwise legally sufficient for Board action.- -SR'1' GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this executive summary. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners accept and authorize Donna Fiala, Chairman to sign Amendment No. I to the DEP Contract No. GC690, authorizing the DEP to change the existing Statement of Revenue, Expenses and Fund Balance deadline Packet Page -1960- 11/13/2012 Item 16.C.3. requirements, and to eliminate the required submittals of the Storage Tank System Leak Autopsy Form and the Underwriters Laboratories Flex -Pipe Incident Notification Form to DEP.
