Agenda 06/08/2021 Item #16C14 (Work Order for RFQ #14-6213 to Quality enterprieses USA, Inc.)06/08/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Work Order to Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., in the amount of
$445,714.36, for the Boyne South and Pelican Bay Water Quality Monitoring Panels project,
pertaining to a Request for Quotations (“RFQ”) under Agreement No. 14-6213, and to authorize
the necessary budget amendment. (Project No. 71010)
OBJECTIVE: Provide reliable, sustainable, and regulatory compliant services to the customers in
Boyne South and Pelican Bay by installing water quality monitoring panels in each area for remote
monitoring of multiple water quality parameters.
CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed scope of work under Project No. 71010, “Distribution Technical
Support Projects,” is consistent with the FY2021 Budget approved by the Board on September 17, 2020.
The water quality monitoring panels will be installed in two areas of the regional water distribution
system, near Royal Hammock Drive in Boyne South and Crayton Cove in Pelican Bay. Water quality
data will be reported through a communication system to the county’s South County Regional Water
Treatment Plant. The panels provide continuous monitoring of chlorine residual, conductivity, turbidity,
pressure, and pH. The data is reviewed to confirm that the potable water in these areas of the regional
water system meets compliance standards. There are three existing water quality monitoring panels
installed throughout the regional water system, Barefoot Beach, Isle of Capri, and Naples Park.
The work includes furnishing two fully operational water quality monitoring panels and electrical panels
and appurtenances.
Staff distributed a Request for Quotations, for the “Boyne South and Pelican Bay Water Quality
Monitoring Panels,” to the six contractors on the Fixed-Term Underground Utilities Agreement No. 14-
6213. Of the six contractors notified, three submitted quotations by the May 7, 2021, deadline, as
summarized below.
VENDOR QUOTE
Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. $445,714.36
Douglas N Higgins, Inc. $463,200.00
Mitchell & Stark Construction Co., Inc. $671,636.76
The following three contractors did not submit a quote: Haskins, Inc., Southwest Utility Systems, Inc.,
Kyle Construction, 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 $445,714.36, which is 34 percent higher than
the engineer’s cost opinion, including allowance. The design professional attributes the increased
construction cost to current escalating market conditions, and reduced labor supply. The design
professional AECOM technical Services, Inc., in a letter dated May 5, 2021, recommends award to
Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., who has a satisfactory performance record on previous similar water
utility related projects.
Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., formerly Quality Electric Company, was founded in 1969 and is located in
Naples, Florida. They specialize in heavy civil construction projects including buildings, utility and
mechanical piping installations, and roadway projects. Quality Enterprises has had various annual
contract services agreements with Collier County for more than 17 years in transportation, facilities, and

utilities.
Because there may be unforeseen conditions associated with the project, the solicitation incorporated an
allowance of $30,200, 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
Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: A budget amendment in the amount of $460,714.36 is necessary to reallocate
funding from projects within Water Capital Project Fund (412). The source of fundi ng is water user fees.
The Budget amendment includes the amount for construction ($445,714.36), permitting ($5,000
estimated), direct material purchase for sales tax purposes ($10,000 estimated), and other construction
related expenses. The project is expected to be completed in 2021. Operation of the water quality
monitoring panels will have a minor increase 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 to Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., in the amount of
$445,714.36, for the Boyne South and Pelican Bay Water Quality Monitoring Panels project, pertaining
to a Request for Quotations under Agreement No. 14-6213, and to authorize the necessary budget
amendment. (Project No. 71010)

RE: RFQ for Boyne South and Pelican Bay Water Quality Monitoring
Panels
Ms. Abbott,
Pursuant to your request, AECOM Technical Services, Inc. has reviewed the
apparent low bidder's (Quality Enterprises USA, Inc.) bid proposal for the
Boyne South and Pelican Bay Water Quality Monitoring Panels . This bid was
received by Collier County via email and opened at 3:00 PM on May 7, 2021.
AECOM's review included a comparison of Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. bid
proposal with other submitted bids and the Engineer’s Opinion of Probable
Construction Cost.
Three bids were received by the County from the fixed-term Underground
Utilities Contractors. The bids and the Engineer's Opinion of Probable
Construction Cost are summarized below:
Bidder Base Bid
Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. (revised) $445,714.36
Douglas N. Higgins, Inc. $463,200.00
Mitchell & Stark Construction Co., Inc. $671,636.76
Engineer’s Opinion of Probable
Construction Cost
$332,470.00
The low quote received is $44 5,714.36, which is 34 percent higher than the
Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Construction Cost, including allowance .
AECOM attributes the increased cost to several factors related to current
market conditions including rapidly increasing materials cost and reduced
labor supply due to substantial existing contractor workload in the region. This
is supported by the fact that only three of the six contractors solicited for the
project submitted bids.
16.C.14.e
Packet Pg. 1570 Attachment: Award Letter (16011 : Approve a $445,714.36 work order under Agreement # 14-6213 to Quality Enterprises.)

evaluation of the bids, AECOM recommends the award of the contract to
Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. in the amount of $445,714.36.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist the County on this important project.
If you have any questions or if you require any additional information, please
do not hesitate to contact me directly at 239-278-7996.
