Agenda 07/10/2018 Item #16C1307/10/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a $443,160 work order under Request for Quotation 14-6213-124 to
Douglas N. Higgins, Inc., to install a wastewater force main along Oil Well road under Orange Tree
Pump Station and Force Main Project Number 70228, and authorize the necessary budget
amendment.
OBJECTIVE: To meet demand, stay in compliance, and serve customers efficiently by providing a
compliant and reliable wastewater system for Collier County Water-Sewer District (CCWSD) customers.
CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed scope of work for Project 70228, “OT Pump Station and Force
Main,” 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) November 10, 2015, as Agenda Item 9C, Appendix III of the
2015 AUIR/CIE. Funding is available in, and is consistent with, the FY2018 CIP Budget.
The work order for the Oil Well Road Force Main Improvements is part of the Orange Tree Pump Station
and Force Main project. The purpose of this larger project is to allow plant effluent and peak wastewater
flows from the Orange Tree Wastewater Treatment Plant to be pumped to the North Collier Water
Reclamation Facility (NCWRF). At times the Orange Tree treatment plant capacity is limited by its
effluent disposal system (percolation ponds). If the ponds are unable to dispose of the excess plant
effluent a plant overflow may occur. This work order will install 3,700 feet of force main along Oil Well
Road thereby providing the conduit for transfer of flows from the plant westward to the NCWRF.
A subsequent procurement will occur to construct a pump station on the former Orange Tree Utility site
that will pump flows through the requested force main to provide the ultimate result of pumping flows to
the NCWRF.
The County distributed Request for Quotation 14-6213-124, “Oil Well Road Force Main Improvements,”
on May 15, 2018 to the six vendors under the Fixed-Term Underground Utilities Contract 14-6213. Four
contractors submitted quotations (summarized below) by the May 30, 2018, deadline. All bidders were
found to be responsive and responsible. After review, staff is recommending award to the lowest,
responsive and responsible bidder D. N. Higgins, Inc. The bids are summarized below and in
Attachments 1 and 2.
VENDOR TOTAL QUOTED PRICE
D. N. Higgins, Inc. $443,160.00
Haskins, Inc. $526,225.00
Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. $562,621.25
Mitchell & Stark $721,920.00
D. N. Higgins’ bid was 32 percent less than the engineer’s cost opinion. In its letter dated June 5, 2018
(Attachment 3), the design professional, Johnson Engineering, Inc., recommends awarding the contract to
D. N. Higgins, Inc., who has a satisfactory performance and warranty record on previous, similar, utility -
related projects.
The quote amount incorporates an allowance of $60,000 for owner-directed work related to unforeseen
conditions including, but not limited to, conflicts with existing facilities not reflected in record drawings,
and modifications or repairs resulting from unforeseen utility work associated with this project. The
compensation method for work done under the allowance will be determined by the owner to be lump

sum, unit price, and/or time and materials depending upon the nature of the work. The price for any
needed additional work will be negotiated prior to commencement in accordance with the county’s
Procurement Ordinance, the terms of the agreement, and will be reviewed by the engineer of record for
cost reasonableness.
FISCAL IMPACT: Budget amendments are required to move $1,000,000 from Project Number 70209,
Fund (414); and $350,000 from project number 70141, within the Wastewater User Fee Capital Fund
(414). These budget amendments exceed the cost of this agenda item as they cover the entire cost of the
Orange Tree Pump Station and Force Main project number 70228 including: owner furnished materials,
construction engineering services, and construction of the new pump station and force main work on the
Orange Tree Wastewater Treatment Plant site. The estimated costs are summarized below.
DESCRIPTION ESTIMATED COST
Oil Well Road Force Main Improvements $443,160.00
Owner Furnished Materials $314,240.00
Orange Tree WWTP Site Pump Station and
Force Main
$531,220.00
Construction Engineering $61,380.00
Total Estimated Cost $1,350,000.00
Staff has analyzed current and future needs to be funded from the cited project numbers to assure that
these budget amendments will not affect current and future financial commitments.
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: That the Board of County Commissioners, Ex-officio the Governing Board of
the Collier County Water-Sewer District, approve a $443,160 work order to Douglas N. Higgins, Inc.,
under Request for Quotation 14-6213-124 for the “Oil Well Road Force Main Improvements” Project
Number 70228; authorize the necessary budget amendment; and, authorize the Chairman to sign and
execute the attached work order.
