Agenda 06/09/2009 Item #16C 9 Agenda Item No. 16C9 June 9, 2009 Page 1 of 5 ,.,..-. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve a budget amendment of $93,388.00 from Reserves for Capital to Project Number 73922, Collections Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System Improvements. OBJECTIVE: The public purpose is to make additional funds available for funding a reliability improvement project previously deferred due to revenue constraints. This is consistent with the Wastewater Department's operational mission to meet operational and reliability needs, to meet the demand for irrigation-quality (IQ) water, and to stay in compliance with regulatory requirements. CONSIDERA TION: The wastewater collections system consists of over 750 lift stations (wastewater pumping stations). A limited number of emergency generators are employed to maintain lift station operation during power outages. To dispatch the generators efficiently, the Collections personnel need to know when power is fully restored so that the equipment can be used at other lift stations that do not have power. Today, this knowledge is gained by trial-and-error, and usually involves many trips to and from different lift stations. This is an ineffective way to utilize both valuable and urgently needed assets. .- The Wastewater Department plans to purchase monitoring equipment that will detect when power is fully restored to each lift station. This equipment will also be able to verify that the power is of a sufficient quality so that it will not damage any of the lift station equipment. The monitoring devices communicate directly through the existing Collections radio system so that centrally-located personnel may dispatch generators, and subsequently, lift stations may be re-started with much greater efficiency. It is important to do this project now because implementation can start concurrently with the approaching storm season. The Planning and Project Management Department plans to purchase the equipment directly in FY09, and install it using department employees. Total estimated cost: $93,388.00 (May 21-22,2009 quotes from Mayer Electric Supply and Graybar Electric.) In FY08, the Public Utilities Division (PUD) deferred approximately $60-million worth of Capital Improvement Projects, and assumed the risk of not making these improvements. The PUD is now requesting that approximately $5-million of the deferred projects be implemented to reduce the risk of deferral associated with these projects. The $93,388.00 requested by this budget amendment is part of the $5-million. The Planning and Project Management Department plans to procure under fixed-term contracts and bids previously approved by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) because of the relatively low dollar amount of each purchase. Board approval is not required due to the dollar level; however, each purchase must comply with the terms and conditions of applicable Board-approved purchasing methods. On June 24, 2008, Agenda Item 10(G), the Board adopted the 2008 Wastewater Master Plan Update that identified the requirement for Capital Improvement Projects. These projects were known at that ,..-' time; however, sufficient funds were not available in the revenue-constrained amount of $100,000 budgeted for FY09. Due to aggressive cost-containment, funds from Reserves for Capital are now available, while staying within revenue constraints. The proposed scope is consistent with the 2008 Executive Summary Collections SCADA Improvements, Project 73922 Page Two Agenda Item No. 16C9 June 9, 2009 Page 2 of 5 Wastewater Master Plan Update, Project 73922, "Wastewater Collections System SCADAlTelemetry", Section 8, Table 8-2, page 3 of 5, line 86. FISCAL IMPACT: Transfer funds from Reserves for Capital to Project 73922, Collections SCADA Improvements requires a budget amendment. The source of funding is the Wastewater User Fee Fund (414). LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office, is not quasi-judicial and requires no ex parte disclosure, requires only a majority vote for approval, and is otherwise legally sufficient for Board action.-SRT GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMP ACT: The project is consistent with and furthers the goals, objectives, and policies of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners, as the Ex-officio Governing Board of the Collier County Water-Sewer District approves a budget amendment of $93,388.00 from Reserves for Capital to Project Number 73922 for funding a reliability improvement project at the Wastewater Collections Lift Stations.
