Agenda 03/12/2019 Item #16C303/12/2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Work Order in the amount of $287,500.84, pursuant to a Request
for Quotation under Agreement No. 14-6213 to Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., for the “SCRWTP
Acid System Modifications” (Project No. 71065).
OBJECTIVE: To meet demand, stay in compliance, and serve customers efficiently by providing a
compliant and reliable potable water system to Collier County Water-Sewer District customers.
CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed scope of work for the “South County Regional Water Treatment
Plant (SCRWTP) Technical Support Project Acid System Modification” is consistent with the FY2019
Budget approved by the Board of County Commissioners on September 20, 2018.
The SCRWTP consists of two treatment processes: lime softening and reverse osmosis. Sulfuric acid is
used in both processes and is stored in two 10,000-gallon bulk storage tanks, located within the reverse
osmosis process building. This project is to modify and replace the existing acid piping and valves that
connects the bulk tanks to the day tanks, and to install a new chemical feed system pump skid. The
proposed chemical resistant Teflon tubing is easy to maintain and can be installed as a single piece to
reduce points for potential leaks. Should a leak occur it would be captured in the new secondary
containment Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) piping, and new secondary containment basins.
CPVC piping can withstand higher temperatures and is more flexible than standard PVC piping. In
addition, new ball valves, which are less prone to leaks, will replace the existing butterfly valves, and will
be located above the new secondary containment basins. These modifications will improve safety and
result in less maintenance.
Staff distributed a Request for Quotation, “SCRWTP Acid System Modifications,” to four vendors, on the
Fixed-Term Underground Utilities Agreement No. 14-6213. Of the four vendors notified, three submitted
quotations by the November 29, 2018 deadline as summarized below.
VENDOR QUOTE
Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. $287,500.84
Douglas N Higgins, Inc. $427,450.00
Mitchell & Stark Construction Co., Inc. $445,899.00
One vendor did not submit a quote: Haskins, Inc.
Staff determined the lowest quote is fair and reasonable, and recommends awarding the Work Order to
Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. The low quote received is 69 percent higher than the engineer’s cost
opinion, including allowance, which the design professional attributes to current market conditions, and
the type of environment where the work will be performed. The low quote is also 33 percent less than the
next lowest quote. In a letter dated December 27, 2018, the design professional, Jacobs Engineering
Group, Inc., recommends award to Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., who has a sat isfactory performance
record on previous, similar water utility related projects. The quote tabulation, chart, engineer’s letter of
recommendation, and Work Order are all attached for review.
Because there may be unforeseen conditions associated with the project, the solicitation incorporated an
allowance of $15,000 to address undocumented infrastructure that may be encountered during
construction. The price for any additional work that would utilize this allowance would be negotiated
prior to commencement in accordance with the County’s Procurement Ordinance and the terms of the
16.C.3
Packet Pg. 821
03/12/2019
Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: The source of funding is the Water User Fee Fund (412), Project 71065, SCRWTP
Technical Support. The project is expected to be completed in 2019. There will be no change in
operating costs.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This project meets current Growth Management Plan
standards to ensure the adequacy and availability of viable public facilities.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for Board approval. -SRT
RECOMMENDATION: To approve a Work Order in the amount of $287,500.84, pursuant to a
Request for Quotation under Agreement No. 14-6213 to Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., for the
“SCRWTP Acid System Modifications” (Project No. 71065) and authorize the Chairman to sign the
attached Work Order.

Project Name: South County Regional Water Treatment Plant Acid System Modifications
Contract No.: 14‐6213
Low Bid: $287,500.84
Low Bidder: Quality Enterprises USA, Inc.
No. of Qualified Bidders: 3
Engineer’s Cost Opinion: $170,000.00
Dear Ms. Abbott,
Bids for the above‐referenced project were received by Collier County by November 29, 2018 at 3:00
PM. Three bids were received and are summarized in the table below:
Contractor Name Bid Amount
Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. $287,500.84
Douglas N. Higgins, Inc. $427,450.00
Mitchell & Stark Const. Co., Inc. $445,899.00
Based on the information above, Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. is the low bidder. Jacobs Engineering
recommends that Collier County award the subject project to the low bidder, Quality Enterprises USA,
Inc., for the Bid Amount of $287,500.84.
The engineer’s cost opinion was based on information collected from recent construction of a sulfuric
acid chemical system within 50 miles of the Collier County SCRWTP. The discrepancy between the
engineer’s cost opinion and the contractor’s low bid is attributed to current market conditions of work,
and a contractor mark‐up for work required in the sulfuric acid chemical room, a hazardous
environment.
Please, do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions at my office (239) 431‐9231, or on my
mobile phone at (239) 771‐3991. I can also be reached via e‐mail at Nickolas.Easter@jacobs.com.
Sincerely,
Jacobs Engineering
