ID# 2026-2
Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve Change Order No. 3 under Agreement No. 21-7847, “Goodlette-Frank Road Ditch
Improvements Design Services” with Water Resources Management Associates, Inc., for additional engineering design
tasks in the amount of $169,202.00, to extend the contract duration by 660 days, and authorize the Chair to sign the
attached Change Order. (Project Number 60102)
OBJECTIVE: To improve the conveyance capacity of stormwater flow to the Gordon River to reduce flooding in
residential and commercial developments west of Goodlette-Frank Road.
CONSIDERATIONS: On July 13, 2021 (Agenda Item 16.A.24), the Board awarded Agreement No. 21-7847, (the
“Agreement”) to Water Resources Management Associates, Inc., for the “Goodlette-Frank Road Ditch Improvements
Design Services” Project (the “Project”).
The Project includes the design of erosion control and bank stabilization, building a maintenance access travel way, and
modification of outfalls along approximately two miles of ditch on the west side of Goodlette-Frank Road.
The replacement of the dual 54” culvert pipes south of the Solana Road intersection was not included in the original
scope of work, as the need for replacement was not identified at that time. Following a comprehensive engineering
inspection, it was determined that the existing culverts have significantly deteriorated due to age and structural
degradation. Additionally, previous staff did not include post-design services in the original contract.
This Change Order adds a total of $169,202.00 and 660 days to the Agreement: $52,564.00 and 120 days for Task 7
(Final Engineering Design Services), $74,166.00 for a new Task 10 (Post-Design Support by WRMA) and $42,472.00
for a new Task 11 (Post-Design Support by WGI, Inc.) and 540 days, based on an anticipated 18-month construction
period.
If this change order is not processed, the deteriorating culvert pipes could cause system failure, leading to flooding and
safety hazards along Goodlette-Frank Road. Replacing the pipes now will prevent further damage. Post-design services
are required to provide the necessary oversight during construction by the Engineer of Record.
Change Orders that are in excess of $250,000 of the original Board approved contract amount must be approved by the
Board. See Procurement Ordinance No. 2025-34, section 20.5(a)
This item is consistent with the Infrastructure and Asset Management element of Collier County’s Strategic Plan by
preparing for the impacts of natural disasters on our critical infrastructure and natural resources.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding in the amount of $169,202.00 is available within the Stormwater Capital (Fund 3050),
Project 60102. The funding sources are general funds and unincorporated general funds.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This project is in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Stormwater
Element of the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for Board
approval. —SRT
RECOMMENDATION(S): To approve Change Order No. 3 under Agreement Number 21-7847, “Goodlette-Frank
Road Ditch Improvements Design Services” with Water Resources Management Associates, Inc., to add funds in the
amount of $169,202.00, to extend the agreement by 660 days, and authorize the Chair to sign the attached Change
Order. (Project Number 60102)

5.1. Compensation and the manner of payment of such compensation by the COUNTY for
services rendered hereunder by CONSULTANT shall be as prescribed in Schedule B, entitled
"Basis of Compensation", which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Project Manager,
or designee, reserves the right to utilize any of the following Price Methodologies:
Lump Sum (Fixed Price): A firm fixed total price offering for a project; the risks are
transferred from the COUNTY to the CONSULTANT; and, as a business practice there are no
hourly or material invoices presented, rather, the CONSULTANT must perform to the satisfaction
of the COUNTY's Project Manager before payment for the fixed price contract is authorized.

time spent by the CONSULTANT 's employees and subcontractors to perform the work (number
of hours times hourly rate), and for materials and equipment used in the project (cost of materials
plus the contractor's mark-up). This methodology is generally used in projects in which it is not
possible to accurately estimate the size of the project, or when it is expected that the project
requirements would most likely change. As a general business practice, these contracts include
back-up documentation of costs; invoices would include number of hours worked and billing rate
by position (and not company (or subcontractor) timekeeping or payroll records), material or
equipment invoices, and other reimbursable documentation for the project.

subcontractor, to be bound to the CONSULTANT by the terms of this Agreement, and to assume
toward the CONSULTANT all the obligations and responsibilities which the CONSULTANT, by
this Agreement, assumes toward the COUNTY. Each subconsultant or subcontract agreement
shall preserve and protect the rights of the COUNTY under this Agreement with respect to the
Services to be performed by the subconsultant or subcontractor so that the sub consulting or
subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights. Where appropriate, the CONSULTANT shall
require each subconsultant or subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with its sub-
subconsultants or sub-subcontractors.
10.4. CONSULTANT acknowledges and agrees that the COUNTY is a third-party beneficiary of
each contract entered into between CONSULTANT and each subconsultant or subcontractor,
however nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any contractual relationship
between the COUNTY and any subconsultant or subcontractor. Further, all such contracts shall
provide that, at the COUNTY's discretion, they are assignable to the COUNTY upon any
termination of this Agreement.

Page 1042 of 3707
11.1. CONSULTANT's acceptance of final payment shall constitute a full waiver of any and all
claims, except for insurance company subrogation claims, by it against the COUNTY arising out
of this Agreement or otherwise related to the Project, and except those previously made in writing
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and identified by CONSULTANT as unsettled at
the time of the final payment. Neither the acceptance of CONSULTANT's services nor payment
by the COUNTY shall be deemed to be a waiver of any of the COUNTY's rights against
CONSULTANT.
ARTICLE TWELVE
TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION
12.1. CONSULTANT shall be considered in material default of this Agreement and such default
will be considered cause for the COUNTY to terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, as
further set forth in this section, for any of the following reasons: (a) CONSULTANT's failure to
begin services under the Agreement within the times specified under the Notice(s) to Proceed, or
(b) CONSULTANT's failure to properly and timely perform the services to be provided hereunder
or as directed by the COUNTY, or (c) the bankruptcy or insolvency or a general assignment for
the benefit of creditors by CONSULTANT or by any of CONSULTANT's principals, officers or
directors, or (d) CONSULTANT's failure to obey any laws, ordinances, regulations or other codes
of conduct, or (e) CONSULTANT's failure to perform or abide by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, or (f) for any other just cause. The COUNTY may so terminate this Agreement, in
whole or in part, by giving the CONSULTANT seven (7) calendar days written notice of the
material default.
12.2. If, after notice of termination of this Agreement as provided for in paragraph 12.1 above, it
is determined for any reason that CONSULTANT was not in default, or that its default was
excusable, or that the COUNTY otherwise was not entitled to the remedy against CONSULTANT
provided for in paragraph 12.1, then the notice of termination given pursuant to paragraph 12.1
shall be deemed to be the notice of termination provided for in paragraph 12.3, below, and
CONSULTANT's remedies against the COUNTY shall be the same as and be limited to those
afforded CONSULTANT under paragraph 12.3, below.
12.3. The COUNTY shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, without
cause upon seven (7) calendar days written notice to CONSULTANT. In the event of such
termination for convenience, CONSULTANT'S recovery against the COUNTY shall be limited to
that portion of the fee earned through the date of termination, together with any retainage withheld
and any costs reasonably incurred by CONSULTANT that are directly attributable to the
termination, but CONSULTANT shall not be entitled to any other or further recovery against the
COUNTY, including, but not limited to, anticipated fees or profits on work not required to be
performed. CONSULTANT must mitigate all such costs to the greatest extent reasonably
possible.
12.4. Upon termination and as directed by the COUNTY, the CONSULTANT shall deliver to the
COUNTY all original papers, records, documents, drawings, models, and other material set forth
and described in this Agreement, including those described in Article 6, that are in
CONSULTANT's possession or under its control.
12.5. The COUNTY shall have the power to suspend all or any portions of the services to be
provided by CONSULTANT hereunder upon giving CONSULTANT two (2) calendar days prior
Page 11 of 32

CAO
Page 1043 of 3707
written notice of such suspension. If all or any portion of the services to be rendered hereunder
are so suspended, the CONSULTANT's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to seek an extension
of time to its schedule in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article Four herein.
of
12.6. In the event (i) the COUNTY fails to make any undisputed payment to CONSULTANT
within forty-five (45) days after such payment is due or such other time as required by Florida's
Prompt Payment Act or (ii) the COUNTY otherwise persistently fails to fulfill some material
obligation owed by the COUNTY to CONSULTANT under this Agreement, and (ii) the COUNTY
has failed to cure such default within fourteen (14) days of receiving written notice of same from
CONSULTANT, then CONSULTANT may stop its performance under this Agreement until such
default is cured, after giving THE COUNTY a second fourteen (14) days written notice
CONSULTANT's intention to stop performance under the Agreement. If the Services are so
stopped for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) consecutive days through no act or fault of
the CONSULTANT or its subconsultant or subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other
persons performing portions of the Services under contract with the CONSULTANT, the
CONSULTANT may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the COUNTY of
CONSULTANT's intent to terminate this Agreement. If the COUNTY does not cure its default
within fourteen (14) days after receipt of CONSULTANT's written notice, CONSULTANT may,
upon fourteen (14) additional days' written notice to the COUNTY, terminate the Agreement and
recover from the COUNTY payment for Services performed through the termination date, but in
no event, shall CONSULTANT be entitled to payment for Services not performed or any other
damages from the COUNTY.
ARTICLE THIRTEEN
TRUTH IN NEGOTIATION REPRESENTATIONS
13.1. CONSULTANT warrants that CONSULTANT has not employed or retained any company
or person, other than a bona fide employee working solely for CONSULTANT, to solicit or secure
this Agreement and that CONSULTANT has not paid or agreed to pay any person, company,
corporation, individual or firm, other than a bona fide employee working solely for CONSULTANT,
any fee, commission, percentage, gift or any other consideration contingent upon or resulting from
the award or making of this Agreement.
13.2. In accordance with provisions of Section 287.055, (5)(a), Florida Statutes, the
CONSULTANT agrees to execute the required Truth-In-Negotiation Certificate, attached hereto
and incorporated herein as Schedule E, certifying that wage rates and other factual unit costs
supporting the compensation for CONSULTANT's services to be provided under this Agreement
are accurate, complete and current at the time of the Agreement. The CONSULTANT agrees
that the original Agreement price and any additions thereto shall be adjusted to exclude any
significant sums by which the COUNTY determines the Agreement price was increased due to
inaccurate, incomplete, or non-current wage rates and other factual unit costs. All such
adjustments shall be made within one (1) year following the end of this Agreement.
