EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve
Contract # 08-5122 with Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan for a Phase 1 cost of
$575,736.95 to update the Big Cypress Basin regional hydrologic model and begin
the development of Watershed Management Plans required by the Growth
Management Plan
OBJECTIVE: To have the Board approve a contract with Post, Buckley, Schuh, &
Jernigan, Inc. (PBS&.T) to update the South Florida Water Management District Big
Cypress Basin (BCB) MIKESHE / MIKE I 1 MODEL with new topography and other
updated information and to develop Watershed Management Plans (WMP) in order to
protect Collier County water resources pursuant to Objective 2. 1 of the Coastal
Conservation and Management Element as amended in the 2006 EAR based amendments
to the Growth Management Plan.
CONSIDERATION:
~
Request for Proposal (RFP) 08-5122, Watershed Model Update and Plan Development
was posted by the Purchasing Department on September I 1,2008. Four hundred nine
notices were sent and 1 19 firms downloaded the RFP from the E-Procurement site. Nine
firms submitted proposals by the closing date of October 9, 2008. On November 25,
2008, the Selection Committee ranked PBS&.T number one by consensus.
Objective 2. I of the Coastal Conservation and Management Element, recently amended
in the 2006 EAR based amendments to the Growth Management Plan, requires WMPs to
be completed by 2010. Furthermore, since the process should integrate with past and
current efforts of the Big Cypress Basin Board (BCBB), the proposed contract and its
scope of work also addresses the integration of these efforts.
WMPs will address elements of flood control, water quality, natural systems and water
supply. Phase I of the subject contract will include obtaining results from the SFWMD /
USACE models developed for pre-development conditions, 200!, and future conditions.
PBS&J will also update the existing BCB MIKE SHE / MIKE 11 model, an advanced
integrated hydrological modeling system for building and simulating surface water flow
and groundwater flow. The model will be updated with new UDAR topography, 2008
land use and cover, recent climactic data, ground watcr withdrawals, and new hydraulic
data from the County's stoffi1water system. The updates to the model will improve its
estimation of stormwater runoff, ground water exchange, and water elevations. The
updated model will be used to evaluate 5, 10, 25, and 100 year frequency design storm
event effects on the canal system and estuaries. The model results will be used to re-
evaluate Level of Service standards for basin discharge rates. Water Quality data and
conditions will be assessed to provide recommendations for water quality models which
will be developed in Phase 2.

Key deliverables for Phase 1 will include the development of a Digital TelTain Model for
the western part of the county, update of the BCB MIKE SHE / MIKE 11 model, as
applied for the identified basins in Collier County, calibration reports, model results for
the design storm events, Level of Service standards, comparison 0 f water budgets for pre-
development, 2001 and current conditions, and evaluation of water quality conditions and
recommendations for water quality models for Lake Trafford and Gordon River
Extension. Completion of the BCB model will be by September 30, 2009 to allow time
to run alternatives and complete the plans by 2010.
Development of the WMPs will occur in Phase 2 and this scope will be brought to the
BCC for approval at a later date. The results of the modeling will be used with
recommendations of existing studies and some alternative analysis with the updated
model to develop WMPs and assist with the development of Basin Management Action
Plans for Gordon River Extension, and Lake Trafford.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Board of County Commissioners, as part of the FY 2007
approved budget, allocated $4,000,000 in General Fund (00]) money to fund this
initiative. The original FY 2007 programmed allocation less that spent in FY 2007 is re-
budgeted in FY 2008. Incidental expenses were inculTed in FY 2007 and funds were
encumbered for UDAR and Project Management costs; thus the FY 2008 available
budget for this program is $ 2,692,400. There are sufficient funds in cost center 001-
138347 to cover the costs of this contract.
The cost of the Phase I portion of this lump sum contract is for $575,736.95. As noted
above, the scope and cost of Phase 2 will be brought back to the Board at a later date.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Execution of the Contract will support
objective 2.1 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the County
Growth Managcment Plan.
