TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Sunil Harman
SUBJECT: Security Checkpoint Exit Lane Control System at NWFRA
DEPARTMENT: Airport
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners is requested to approve a
construction contract with Cathey Construction and Development, LLC and consultant task order
for RS&H for construction phase services for the Northwest Florida Regional Airport Security
Checkpoint Exit Lane Control System project.
BACKGROUND: This project contains Sensitive Security Information that is controlled under
49 CFR Parts 15 and 1520. No part of the planning or design may be disclosed to persons
without a "need to know". Due to anticipated and eventual changes in Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) rules for funding personnel to monitor and deter access to the secured
areas of the airport through the exit lane, Northwest Florida Regional Airport has identified a
need to develop a more effective technological solution to monitor and control the passenger exit
lanes located at the security check point in the terminal facility. Currently, arriving passengers
exit the sterile area through a lane just north of the security check point located on the first level
of the terminal and the exit lane is manned by TSA officers to prevent unauthorized entry to the
sterile area of the concourse facility.
The airport in coordination with the TSA and Airlines has designed and bid an exit lane control
system that fulfills the TSA security requirements without the need for onsite monitoring
personnel. Bids for the exit lane control system improvements were opened December 4, 2013
and the County received two bids. Cathey Construction and Development, LLC was the lowest
responsive bidder in the amount of $496,846.00. The RS&H task order will perform
construction administration and construction phase services in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Agreement for Professional Architectural, Engineering, and Aviation Planning
Services Contract No.: C09-1737-AP, dated July 7, 2009.
OPTIONS: Approve, Reject, or Table
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve Cathey Construction and Development, LLC contract in the
amount of $496,846.00. Approve RS&H Task Order in the amount of $77,322.00.

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this day of , by and between the STATE
OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, an agency of the State of Florida, hereinafter called the
Department, and Okaloosa County B.O.C.C. hereinafter called the Agency.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Agency has the authority to enter into this Agreement and to undertake the project hereinafter described,
and the Department has been granted the authority to function adequately in all areas of appropriate jurisdiction including
the implementation of an integrated and balanced transportation system and is authorized under Section 339.12, Florida
Statutes, to enter into this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises and representations herein, the parties agree as
follows:
1.00 Purpose of Agreement: The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for the Department’s participation in the
design of the Rocky Bayou Drive Sidewalk Project and as further described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and by this
reference made a part hereof, hereinafter called the “project,” and to provide Department financial assistance to the
Agency and state the terms and conditions upon which such assistance will be provided and the understandings as to the
manner in which the project will be undertaken and completed.
1.01 Attachments: Exhibit(s) A, B, C & 1 are attached and made a part hereof.
2.01 General Requirements: The Agency shall complete the project as described in Exhibit "A" with all practical
dispatch, in a sound, economical, and efficient manner, and in accordance with the provisions herein, and all applicable
laws. The project will be performed in accordance with all applicable Department procedures, guidelines, manuals,
standards, and directives as described in the Department's Local Agency Program Manual, which by this reference is
made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. Time is of the essence as to each and every obligation under this
Agreement.
A full time employee of the Agency, qualified to ensure that the work being pursued is complete, accurate, and consistent
with the terms, conditions, and specifications of this Agreement shall be in charge of each project.
Inactivity and Removal of Any Unbilled Funds
Once the Department issues a Notice to Proceed (NTP) for the Project, the Agency shall be obligated to submit an invoice
or other request for reimbursement to the Department for all work completed for the Project no less frequently than on a
quarterly basis, beginning from the day the NTP is issued. If the Agency fails to submit quarterly (or more frequently than
quarterly) invoices to the Department as required herein and in the event said failure to timely submit invoices to the
Department results in FHWA removing any unbilled funding or in the loss of State appropriation authority (which may
include the loss of state and Federal funds, if there are state funds programmed to the Project), then the Agency will be
solely responsible to provide all funds necessary to complete the Project and the Department will not be obligated to
provide any additional funding for the Project. The Agency waives the right to contest such removal of funds by the
Department, if the removal is related to FHWA’s withdrawal of funds or if the removal is related to the loss of State

appropriation authority. In addition to the loss of funding for the Project, the Department will also consider the de-
certification of the Agency for future LAP projects.
Removal of All Funds
If all funds are removed from the project, including amounts previously billed to the Department and reimbursed to the
Agency, and the project is off the state highway system, then the department will have to request repayment for the
previously billed amounts from the Local Agency. No state funds can be used on off-system projects.
2.02 Expiration of Agreement: The Agency agrees to complete the project on or before December 31, 2014. If the
Agency does not complete the project within this time period, this Agreement will expire on the last day of the scheduled
completion as provided in this paragraph unless an extension of the time period is requested by the Agency and granted
in writing by the Department prior to the expiration of this Agreement. Expiration of this Agreement will be considered
termination of the project. The cost of any work performed after the expiration date of this Agreement will not be
reimbursed by the Department.
2.03 Pursuant to Federal, State, and Local Laws: In the event that any election, referendum, approval, permit, notice
or other proceeding or authorization is requisite under applicable law to enable the Agency to enter into this Agreement or
to undertake the project hereunder or to observe, assume or carry out any of the provisions of the Agreement, the Agency
will initiate and consummate, as provided by law, all actions necessary with respect to any such matters so requisite.
2.04 Agency Funds: The Agency shall initiate and prosecute to completion all proceedings necessary, including
federal-aid requirements, to enable the Agency to provide the necessary funds for completion of the project.
2.05 Submission of Proceedings, Contracts, and Other Documents: The Agency shall submit to the Department
such data, reports, records, contracts, and other documents relating to the project as the Department and the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) may require. The Agency shall use the Department’s Local Agency Program Information
Tool and applicable information systems as required.
3.00 Project Cost:
3.01 Total Cost: The total cost of the project is $ 26,213. This amount is based upon the schedule of funding in Exhibit
"B." The Agency agrees to bear all expenses in excess of the total cost of the project and any deficits involved. The
schedule of funding may be modified by mutual agreement as provided for in paragraph 4.00.
3.02 Department Participation: The Department agrees to participate in the project cost to the extent provided in Exhibit
"B." This amount includes federal-aid funds which are limited to the actual amount of federal-aid participation.
3.03 Limits on Department Funds: Project costs eligible for Department participation will be allowed only from the date
of this Agreement. It is understood that Department participation in eligible project costs is subject to:
a) Legislative approval of the Department's appropriation request in the work program year that the project is
scheduled to be committed;
b) Availability of funds as stated in paragraphs 3.04 and 3.05 of this Agreement;
c) Approval of all plans, specifications, contracts or other obligating documents and all other terms of this
Agreement; and
d) Department approval of the project scope and budget at the time appropriation authority becomes available.
3.04 Appropriation of Funds: The Department’s performance and obligation to pay under this Agreement is contingent
upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature. If the Department's funding for this project is in multiple fiscal years,
funds approval from the Department's Comptroller must be received each fiscal year prior to costs being incurred. See
Exhibit “B” for funding levels by fiscal year. Project costs utilizing these fiscal year funds are not eligible for
reimbursement if incurred prior to funds approval being received. The Department will notify the Agency, in writing, when
funds are available.

3.05 Multi-Year Commitment: In the event this Agreement is in excess of $25,000 and has a term for a period of more
than one year, the provisions of Section 339.135(6)(a), Florida Statutes, are hereby incorporated:
"(a) The Department, during any fiscal year, shall not expend money, incur any liability, or enter into any
contract which, by its terms, involves the expenditure of money in excess of the amounts budgeted as
available for expenditure during such fiscal year. Any contract, verbal or written, made in violation of this
subsection is null and void, and no money may be paid on such contract. The Department shall require a
statement from the comptroller of the Department that funds are available prior to entering into any such
contract or other binding commitment of funds. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the making of
contracts for periods exceeding 1 year, but any contract so made shall be executory only for the value of
the services to be rendered or agreed to be paid for in succeeding fiscal years, and this paragraph shall
be incorporated verbatim in all contracts of the Department which are for an amount in excess of $25,000
and which have a term for a period of more than 1 year."
3.06 Notice-to-Proceed: No cost may be incurred under this Agreement until the Agency has received a written Notice-
to-Proceed (NTP) from the Department. The Agency agrees to advertise or put the project out to bid thirty (30) days from
the date the Department issues the NTP to advertise the project. If the Agency is not able to meet the scheduled
advertisement, the District LAP Administrator should be notified as soon as possible.
3.07 Limits on Federal Participation: Federal-aid funds shall not participate in any cost which is not incurred in
conformity with applicable Federal and State laws, the regulations in 23 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) and 49
C.F.R., and policies and procedures prescribed by the Division Administrator of FHWA. Federal funds shall not be paid
on account of any cost incurred prior to authorization by the FHWA to the Department to proceed with the project or part
thereof involving such cost (23 C.F.R. 1.9 (a)). If FHWA or the Department determines that any amount claimed is not
eligible, federal participation may be approved in the amount determined to be adequately supported and the Department
shall notify the Agency in writing citing the reasons why items and amounts are not eligible for federal participation.
Where correctable non-compliance with provisions of law or FHWA requirements exists, Federal funds may be withheld
until compliance is obtained. Where non-compliance is not correctable, FHWA or the Department may deny participation
in parcel or project costs in part or in total.
For any amounts determined to be ineligible for federal reimbursement for which the Department has advanced payment,
the Agency shall promptly reimburse the Department for all such amounts within 90 days of written notice.
4.00 Project Estimate and Disbursement Schedule: Prior to the execution of this Agreement, a project schedule of
funding shall be prepared by the Agency and approved by the Department. The Agency shall maintain said schedule of
funding, carry out the project, and shall incur obligations against and make disbursements of project funds only in
conformity with the latest approved schedule of funding for the project. The schedule of funding may be revised by mutual
written agreement between the Department and the Agency. If revised, a copy of the revision should be forwarded to the
Department's Comptroller and to the Department's Federal-aid Program Office. No increase or decrease shall be
effective unless it complies with fund participation requirements of this Agreement and is approved by the Department’s
Comptroller.
5.00 Records:
5.01 Establishment and Maintenance of Accounting Records: Records of costs incurred under the terms of this
Agreement shall be maintained and made available upon request to the Department at all times during the period of this
Agreement and for 5 years after the final payment is made. Copies of these documents and records shall be furnished to
the Department upon request. Records of costs incurred include the Agency's general accounting records and the project
records, together with supporting documents and records of the Agency and all subcontractors performing work on the
project and all other records of the Agency and subcontractors considered necessary by the Department for a proper audit
of costs. If any litigation, claim or audit is started before the expiration of the 5-year period, the records shall be retained
until all litigation, claims or audit findings involving the records have been resolved.
5.02 Costs Incurred for Project: The Agency shall charge to the project account all eligible costs of the project except
costs agreed to be borne by the Agency or its contractors and subcontractors. Costs in excess of the programmed
funding or attributable to actions which have not received the required approval of the Department shall not be considered
eligible costs.

5.03 Documentation of Project Costs: All costs charged to the project, including any approved services contributed by
the Agency or others, shall be supported by properly executed payrolls, time records, invoices, contracts or vouchers
evidencing in proper detail the nature and propriety of the charges.
5.04 Audit Reports: Recipients of federal and state funds are to have audits done annually using the following criteria:
The administration of resources awarded by the Department to the Agency may be subject to audits and/or monitoring by
the Department, as described in this section.
Monitoring: In addition to reviews of audits conducted in accordance with OMB Circular A-133 and Section 215.97,
Florida Statutes, as revised (see “Audits” below), monitoring procedures may include, but not be limited to, on-site visits
by Department staff, limited scope audits as defined by OMB Circular A-133, as revised, and/or other procedures. By
entering into this Agreement, the recipient agrees to comply and cooperate fully with any monitoring
procedures/processes deemed appropriate by the Department. In the event the Department determines that a limited
scope audit of the recipient is appropriate, the recipient agrees to comply with any additional instructions provided by the
Department staff to the Agency regarding such audit. The Agency further agrees to comply and cooperate with any
inspections, reviews, investigations or audits deemed necessary by the Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG),

performance of any DOT-assisted contract or in the administration of its DBE program or the requirements of
49 C.F.R. Part 26. The recipient shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 C.F.R. Part 26 to

to comply with all terms and conditions of this Agreement and all federal, state, and local laws and regulations applicable

Performance means the Agency failed to develop the project in accordance with applicable federal and state regulations,
standards and procedures, required excessive District involvement/oversight, or the project was brought in-house by the
Department. A rating of Satisfactory Performance means the Agency developed the project in accordance with applicable
federal and state regulations, standards and procedures, with minimal District involvement/oversight. A rating of Above

SINGLE AUDIT ACT
Federal Resources Awarded to the Recipient Pursuant to This Agreement Consist of the Following:
Federal Agency: Federal Highway Administration
CFDA #: 20.205 Highway Planning and Construction
Amount: FPID 433572-1-38-01 ………..………………………………………………$26,213
Compliance Requirement:
Allowable Activities: To be eligible, most projects must be located on public roads that are not functionally classified as
local. The major exceptions are the Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program, which provides assistance
for bridges on and off the federal-aid highways, highway safety activities, bicycle and pedestrian projects, transportation
enhancement activities, the recreational trails program, and planning, research, development, and technology transfer.
Proposed projects meeting these and other planning, design, environmental, safety, etc., requirements can be approved
on the basis of state and local priorities within the limit of the funds apportioned or allocated to each state.
Allowable Costs: Eligible activities and allowable costs will be determined in accordance with Title 23 and Title 49
C.F.R. and the OMB cost principles applicable to the recipient/sub-recipient.
Eligibility: By law, the federal-aid highway program is a federally assisted state program that requires each state to have
a suitably equipped and organized transportation department. Therefore, most projects are administered by or through
State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs). Projects to be funded under the federal-aid highway program are
generally selected by state DOTs or Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), in cooperation with appropriate local
officials, as specified in 23 U.S.C. and implementing regulations. Territorial highway projects are funded in the same
manner as other federal-aid highway projects, with the territorial transportation agency functioning in a manner similar to a
state DOT. Most Florida Land Highway Program (FLHP) projects are administered by the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) Office of Federal Lands Highway and its Divisions or by the various Florida Land Management Agencies
(FLMAs). Under the FLHP, projects in the Indian Reservation Road (IRR) Program are selected by Tribal Governments
and are approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the FHWA. Due to recent legislation, Tribal Governments
meeting certain requirements may now administer various IRR projects on behalf of the BIA and FHWA. The Fish and
Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Park Service (NPS) select projects in the Refuge Road and Park Roads and
Parkways Programs, respectively. For the Forest Highway Program, the Forest Service, the States and the FHWA jointly
select projects.
Compliance Requirements Applicable to the Federal Resources Awarded Pursuant to This Agreement Are As
Follows: The recipient of Local Agency Program (LAP) funding must comply with the statutory requirements in Sections
112.061, 215.422, 339.12, and 339.135, Florida Statutes, and Title 23 and Title 49, C.F.R.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: January 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Kay Godwin
SUBJECT: Purchasing Manager Signature Authority
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request Board approval for the Purchasing Manager to authorize
and sign contractual, financial and other purchasing-related transactions outlined in BCC
approved purchasing policies.
BACKGROUND: The Purchasing Manual & the Tangible Personal Property, Commodity
Inventory & Accountability Manual references the authority of the Purchasing Director to
facilitate review and approval processes for contractual and financial obligations as well as asset
management and acquisition/disposition for the County. Forms and approvals that are required,
based on these two manuals, have designations for the Purchasing Director’s signature.
As part of a county-wide reorganization in 2011, the Purchasing Department was placed under
the Human Resources Director for reporting purposes, and the Purchasing Director was re-titled
to Purchasing Division Director. The Purchasing Division Director position was slated for
elimination through attrition. With the retirement of Purchasing Division Director Richard
Brannon, the position has been refilled with Zan Fedorak as Purchasing Manager.
This requested action will allow county-wide purchasing transactions to continue without
interruption. Otherwise, any action that requires the approval and signature of the Department
Head will be authorized and signed by the Human Resources Director. In the coming weeks,
staff will review policies and procedures in detail and bring recommendations for any additional
policy modifications, as needed.
OPTIONS: Approve/Deny
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the Board approve for the Purchasing Manager to
authorize and sign contractual, financial and other purchasing-related transactions outlined in
BCC approved purchasing policies.

AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: January 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Elliot Kampert
SUBJECT: Letter of Support for Regional Planning Council's Brownfield Grant
Proposal
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The West Florida Regional Planning Council (WFRPC) is seeking letters
of support for its application to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the Brownfields
Assessment Grant Program that would make funds available for the cities and counties in the WFRPC's
area of responsibility (Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Holmes and Washington Counties).
BACKGROUND: The EPA's Brownfields Program provides funds to empower states, communities,
tribes, and nonprofits to provide funding to develop inventories of brownfields; to characterize, assess,
and prioritize sites; and to conduct planning (including clean up planning) and community involvement
related to brownfield sites.
A brownfield site is defined as real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be
complicated by the presence or potential presence of hazardous substances, pollutants, contaminants,
controlled substances, petroleum or petroleum products, or is mine-scarred land.
For community-wide proposals, applicants may request up to $200,000 from the hazardous substances
funding for sites with potential contamination of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants and up
to $200,000 from the petroleum funding for sites with potential petroleum contamination. The WFRPC
plans to submit a combined application for the maximum amount of both the hazardous and petroleum
funding. The funding period runs from October 1, 2014 through September 31, 2017.
The grant would enable the WFRPC to conduct brownfield assessment projects in the cities and counties
in the WFRPC area of responsibility (Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Holmes and
Washington Counties).
OPTIONS: Approve or not approve sending the letter.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners
approve, and authorize the Chairman to sign, the attached letter for transmittal to the US
Environmental Protection Agency.

TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Vaughn
SUBJECT: Outstanding Invoices
DEPARTMENT: Fleet
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval to pay Comdata for three outstanding invoices
(October 8, 2013 for $821. 48, October 17, 2013 for $885.84 and November 3, 2013 for
$1,003.54) for a total of $2,710.86.
BACKGROUND: Comdata is a fuel card provider used by Fleet Operations' customers.
Historically invoices from Comdata have been paid by after-the-fact purchase orders. "After-the-
fact" meaning the department did not submit a requisition before fuel transactions for the invoice
period occurred. Finance no longer approves purchase orders payments for transactions not
requisitioned prior to the first transaction date. Fleet Operations requests approval for direct
payment of these three outstanding Comdata invoices.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove.

Kansas State Bank of Manhattan (4 units per lease). The second lease award is to be executed
for the remaining 4 units prior to the expiration of the prior lease (1/15/2014). The additional
four (4) units are budgeted in the FY 13/14 CIP budget.
OPTIONS: Approve or Reject

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: January 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Kay Godwin
SUBJECT: HR Policy Changes - Communications
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request Board approval of changes to the Communications Policy
within the Human Resources Policy Manual.
BACKGROUND: As technology continually changes, the policies for cellular and mobile
devices have been updated. Further, new policies are introduced addressing ITunes and domain
registration.
Changes to the cell phone policy provide a streamlined solution for employee reimbursement of
personal calls. Employees will authorize a flat-rate payroll deduction to cover personal calls to
or from a county cell phone. Standardized guidelines are also proposed for issue and use of cell
phones and other mobile devices.
The development of these policies and procedures has been a collaborative effort over the past
several months between county and finance department representatives, and the proposed
policies have been vetted through department directors and the County Administrator. Policy
changes are highlighted for quick identification in the attached document. Additions are
underlined and deletions are in strikeout format.
OPTIONS: Approve/Deny
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the Board approve the proposed changes to the
Communications policy within the Human Resources Policy Manual.
RECOMMENDED BY:
APPROVED BY:
Ernie Padgett, County Administrator
Packet Pg. 247
CHAPTER XXIX – COMMUNICATIONS POLICY
Section A – Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish the Information Systems Department as the
responsible authority for directing technology and data management for the Okaloosa County
Board of County Commissioners. This policy specifies or outlines the responsibilities of the
Information Systems Department and of authorized users.
The purpose of the Information Systems Department is to provide and maintain an organized,
shared information infrastructure that enables our County to share data, services and reduce
duplication of effort. The management of technology and data in a coherent, organized county-
wide effort is necessary to ensure limited money, resources, and time are wisely allocated and
efficiently utilized to provide effective, efficient government in Okaloosa County.
A centralized Information Systems Department ensures users the maximum benefit of
technology without having to acquire the expertise to setup, configure and maintain networks,
operating systems, application software and databases. Therefore, employees are allowed to
use computer equipment to do their jobs in the most efficient manner possible.
Section B – Scope and Applicability
All County employees, contract employees, contingent workers, volunteers, interns and vendors
using County computer equipment shall use the equipment for authorized business purposes
and in accordance with this policy. This policy does not cover the use of office automation
equipment such as calculators, typewriters, radios or televisions unless these devices are
attached to County computer equipment or the County network. All employees using computer
equipment are required to read and comply with this policy. By using any item of computer
equipment, County employees consent to all provisions of this policy.
Section C – Policy
The Information Systems Department is responsible for directing the management of all
technology and data for the County. This policy defines the responsibilities of Information
Systems Department personnel and of authorized users. Just as Information Systems
Department personnel are not required to perform authorized users’ jobs, authorized users are
not required to perform Information Systems Department personnel jobs. Therefore, all
employees can use computer equipment to do their jobs in the most efficient manner possible.
The Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners’ networks will be protected by one (1) or
more firewalls which are controlled exclusively by the Information Systems Director. There will
be no access to the County networks except through these firewalls without the expressed,
written approval of the Information Systems Director. Conversely, there will be no access from
within the County networks to resources outside the networks except through these firewalls or
with the expressed, written approval of the Information Systems Director. The objective is to
ensure that the Information Systems Department controls all access that exists either into or out
of the network and to ensure that the Information Systems Department has the opportunity to
enact acceptable solutions that are consistent with security objectives of the County. Any
network equipment utilized on County’s networks must be configured by Information Systems
Department personnel. County employees will not access another network, (e.g. Public Patron
Internet or wireless networks) with County equipment or on County time.
Packet Pg. 248
Computer equipment, networks and data must be protected from internal sources as well as
external sources. It is the responsibility of the Information Systems Director and each
department director to ensure that each individual is given the access to the computer
equipment and data that he/she needs to do his/her job. Department director approval is
required, with the documented need for “at home” or off-site use. A current list of equipment at
employees’ residences must be kept by the respective department directors and submitted to
the Information Systems Director. Conversely, it is the Information Systems Director and each
department director’s responsibility to allow employees access to only the computer equipment,
networks and data that he/she needs to do his/her job. Therefore, only authorized computer
equipment and peripherals purchased and/or supported by the County and approved by the
Information Systems Department will be allowed to connect to County networks. For example,
but not limited to, no Universal Serial Bus (USB) thumb drives, portable drives, cameras, video,
telephones or wireless devices of any type are to be purchased or connected by any means
without the Information Systems Department’s approval. County users with “Aircards” or access
to other wireless devices of this type (including when traveling) must be used for official County
business only. Non-County devices must follow the guidelines and procedures established by
the Information Systems Department.
It is the policy of the County that the use of the Internet by County employees is permitted and
encouraged where such use is suitable for business purposes and supports the goals and
objectives of the County and its departments. Employee access to the Internet must be with a
browser installed by the Information Systems Department. The Internet is to be used in a
manner that is consistent with the normal execution of an employee’s job responsibilities.
Computer networks designed for public use, such as wireless, the Library Cooperative,
Conference Center and Airport patron Internets, are not for County employees’ use on County
time. Internet traffic must pass through firewall and filtering software. Exceptions are made for
County employees travel with prior approval from the Information Systems Department.
Section D - Cellular and Mobile Devices
1) An employee may be provided a mobile device or other wireless communication service
if it is determined to be necessary under one or more of the following criteria:
a) Availability of device and service is integral to the performance of specific duties
within the employee's job description.
b) A substantial portion of the employee's work is conducted outside of the building or
buildings where the employee is assigned to work.
c) The employee does not have an assigned office or workspace and needs to be
contacted on a regular basis by the department or division for assigned services or
to provide needed information.
d) It is a job requirement that the employer be able to reach the employee outside of
the employee's normal work hours.
2) To be approved for a mobile device and associated service plan, the following
procedures are applicable:
Packet Pg. 249
a) The supervisor of an employee requesting the device and/or plan must determine if
the employee meets the eligibility requirements.
b) Documentation to support the decision to issue the device and plan must be
provided on an Okaloosa County Mobile Device Request Form, approved by the
department director and forwarded to the Human Resources Department.
c) All procurement of mobile devices and approval of designated rate plans are made
by Purchasing with input from department directors.
d) Usage of mobile devices must be in accordance with the county’s current personal
use policy.
3) Personal use of mobile devices is permitted if it:
a) Does not interfere with existing departmental rules, policies or protocols.
b) Does not disrupt or distract the conduct of Okaloosa County business due to the
volume or frequency of calls; or involve or support illegal activities.
c) Is compliant with county policy.
d) Is authorized by the department director on an Okaloosa County Mobile Device
Request Form with a payroll deduction to offset the cost of personal use.

e) Commercial drivers covered by the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations
are prohibited from using hand-held mobile devices while driving. Employees
operating non-commercial vehicles should keep mobile device use to a minimum
while driving and use hands free if possible.
f) Motor vehicle operators on Eglin and Hurlburt Air Force Bases are prohibited from
using cell phones while operating a vehicle on base (unless there is imminent danger
or to report an accident).
5) Operational and administrative procedures:
Packet Pg. 250
a) Department directors will provide a copy of the communications policy to all
employees who are assigned a mobile device.
b) Employees must read and abide by the communications policy.
c) Department directors are responsible for enforcing the communications policy and
monitoring the usage of all electronic equipment used in the department to include
usage of minutes and personal use.
d) Mobile device group leaders may be designated by department directors to manage
electronic equipment within departments and divisions.
e) Employees must return mobile device equipment to their supervisors upon
termination of employment, transfer to a position that does not require a mobile
device, or upon request.
f) Employees must report to their supervisors, lost, stolen or damaged devices as soon
as possible.
Section D – E Text Messaging
All Okaloosa County electronic business communication should be completed primarily through
County e-mail. Due to the County’s obligation to comply with Florida’s Public Records law and
its technology limitations, County employees may only communicate by text message when the
message being sent and/or received is considered transitory in nature and has no archival value
as defined by the Department of State, Division of Archives, Bureau of Records Management.
“Transitory” refers to short-term value based upon the content and purpose of the message, not
the format or technology used to transmit it. Examples of transitory messages include, but are
not limited to, reminders to employees about scheduled meetings or appointments; most
telephone messages (whether in paper, voice mail, or other electronic form); announcements of
office events such as holiday parties or group lunches; and recipient copies of announcements
of agency-sponsored events such as exhibits, lectures, workshops, etc. Transitory messages
are not intended to formalize or perpetuate knowledge and do not set policy, establish
guidelines or procedures, certify a transaction, or become a receipt.
Using a wireless communication device to text while driving presents an unsafe condition and
employees shall not compose, read or send text or e-mail messages while driving.
Furthermore, County employees should have no reasonable expectation of privacy when texting
from a County issued wireless device.
Section E F– Use of Equipment
Telephones, cellular phones, voicemail systems, fax machines, and computers, including
electronic mail systems (e-mail) and Internet are provided for county business use and personal
use of these devices is generally prohibited except as expressly authorized. (See “Personal Use
Defined” below).
Packet Pg. 251
Also prohibited is the use of any of these systems to transmit or receive inappropriate
messages, to access inappropriate information, or to harass or annoy another party.
Inappropriate messages and information include, but are not limited to, those that are for
personal benefit and those involving discriminatory, hostile, suggestive, obscene, or otherwise
unsuitable language and content.
Violations of this policy will be considered grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including
dismissal of employment. Employees are prohibited from e-mailing the entire County directory.
Only the County Administrator and approved personnel may e-mail the entire Okaloosa County
directory.
Section F G – Monitoring
Communications through the above-mentioned county devices is subject to monitoring by the
county for business purposes.
Section G H- Personal Use Defined
While communications equipment is generally provided for county business only, the County
recognizes there may be occasional situations in which an employee needs to use such
equipment for brief periods of time for personal reasons. Employees are required to obtain their
department directors’ permission before they engage in personal use of any communications
equipment. In addition, employees must reimburse the County for any cost of personal use
upon department receipt of itemized billing.
In an effort to reduce staff time in reconciling monthly itemized cell phone bills to identify
personal calls, employees may authorize a bi-weekly payroll deduction amount determined by
the County Administrator to cover personal calls. The bi-weekly deduction will continue until
such time the employee and department initiates an action to discontinue personal use.
Section H I– Public Records
Information generated on e-mail and by computer is a public record subject to public inspection
and is not confidential, unless specifically cited by statute. Users are responsible for assuring
that any public records that are confidential by statute are safeguarded in a manner consistent
with the practices normally provided for public records in a paper format.
To ensure full compliance with the Public Records Law, Chapter 119 Florida Statutes, and the
governing public’s right to access public records, all employees and elected officials with current
or existing County e-mail accounts are required to use County e-mail accounts for all County
business. No other e-mail accounts may be used to conduct County business. Employees or
officials who receive business related e-mail at another account must forward that e-mail to their
County e-mail accounts with a response to senders to please use the employee’s or the
official’s County e-mail account for further business purposes.
Logins and passwords are issued solely for the use of employees in conducting official county
business. All employees are prohibited from:
1) Disclosing or transferring logins or passwords to unauthorized persons or entities; and
Packet Pg. 252
2) Sharing logins or passwords with other county employees without prior authorization from
their department director.
Section I J– Retention of Electronic Mail
The State of Florida requires the retention of “all documents, papers, letters, maps, books,
tapes, photographs, films, sound recordings, data processing software, or other material,
regardless of the physical form, characteristics, or means of transmission, made or received
pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any
agency” [F.S. 119.011(1)]. As it is for all documents, requirements for retention of e-mail are
determined by content. It is each department’s responsibility to evaluate e-mail for content to
determine the length of time and how the message must be retained, just as it does with paper
documentation. Methods of retaining e-mail documents include saving messages to files on
floppy disk, hard drive, or printing messages and filing in a paper file. The Information Systems
Department is available to advise users in the specifics of different methods. Retention
schedules must be followed in accordance with the State Library and Archives of Florida.
Section J K– Software, ITunes, and Domain Registration
Okaloosa County purchases and licenses the use of computer software. Employees shall use
that software only in accordance with the license agreement for that software. All software
developed in-house or by vendors for Okaloosa County is the sole property of Okaloosa County.
“Shareware”, “Freeware”, and all other similar software, unless pre-approved by the Information
Systems Director, are not permitted on the network.
Applications software, such as ITunes, must be approved by the county Information Systems
Department in the same manner as software on a personal computer. An ITunes Gift Card
must be purchased for application software transactions unless otherwise authorized by
Information Systems.
No domain name can be registered on behalf of Okaloosa County Board of County
Commissioners or their reporting departments without the approval and inclusion of the
Information Systems Department. The Information Systems Department shall manage domain
name services (DNS) and shall be listed as at least one of the administrative and technical
contacts.
Section KL – Information Technology Project Management
1) Lack of planning is a primary cause of schedule slippage, cost overruns, poor quality, and
high maintenance costs. An information technology project becomes better understood as it
progresses through the following processes: problem definition; system justification; analysis
and conceptual design; implementation planning; implementation and testing; and
operations and maintenance.
2) In order to ensure a well planned and designed approach to information technology projects,
the problem definition must be submitted to the Information Systems Director for review and
approval. Approved projects will follow the process established by the Information Systems
Department.
a) The Information Systems Department responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the
following:
Packet Pg. 253
i) Directing and coordinating all information technology related activities for the County;
ii) Directing and managing all computer equipment and networks;
iii) Directing and managing enterprise-wide projects such as e-mail services, security
systems, the County imaging system and enterprise licensing agreements;
iv) Directing and managing all departmental level applications and departmental
licensing agreements that involve technology;
v) Initiating and implementing all contract negotiations and grants involving an
information technology component;
vi) Specifying the appropriate operating environment for all computer equipment;
vii) Coordinating development, maintaining and managing web-based solutions;
viii) Reviewing and approving all new computer equipment acquisitions;
ix) Installing and configuring all computer equipment for all departments;
x) Delegating software administration responsibilities to departmental software
administrators for each departmental level as needed;
xi) Directing and coordinating computer equipment training;
xii) Directing and coordinating all Geographic Information System (GIS) related activities
for the County;

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: January 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Elliot Kampert
SUBJECT: The Code Enforcement Board's Order to Lien and Clean
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: 4 - Commissioner Don Amunds
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Due to lack of response by the property owner despite repeated
efforts, the Code Enforcement Board requests that the Board of County Commissioners
authorize the Code Enforcement Board to issue an order initiating the clean up of 105 Wayne
Avenue in the unincorporated Fort Walton Beach area. Notice was sent to the owner to bring the
property into compliance within the time specified by the Code Enforcement Board, and which
also advised the owner that, if the property was not brought into compliance, that the County
could initiate action, including proceeding with the clean and lien. Staff is requesting the Board
authorize an amount not to exceed $5,000 from the Violations of Local Ordinances Account
(0124.354000) to accomplish this task, as well as authorization to obtain a minimum of three
written quotes from qualified venders to clean the property. The written quotes will be obtained
through the Purchasing Department. If the actions are approved by the Board of County
Commissioners, the order will issued by the Code Enforcement Board during its January
meeting.
BACKGROUND: A citizen complaint was filed with Code Enforcement staff in March of 2012
as well as with the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Department. The property is vacant, derelict and
is littered with trash and had become an attractant for rodents and stray animals. The Sheriff has
also initiated increased patrols in the area due to complaints regarding drug activity and
prostitutes. After several months of no progress despite back and forth conversations and verbal
agreements to bring the property into compliance and demolish the mobile home, inaction
resulted in the case being brought before the Code Enforcement Board. On September 19, 2013
the Code Enforcement Board, by unanimous vote, approved a motion to "start a fine immediately
of $250.00 a day and authorize staff to obtain 3 bids for the purpose of razing the existing trailer
and authorizing staff to approach the BCC for funds from our budget to clean and lien the
property" said motion made by John Snell and seconded by Skip Miller.
OPTIONS: To approve or disapprove the requested action.
RECOMMENDATIONS: The Growth Management Department recommends that the Board
of County Commissioners authorize: 1.) the use of an amount not to exceed $5,000 from the
Violations of Local Ordinances Account (0124.354000) to clean the subject property; 2.)
solicitation of a minimum of 3 written quotes from qualified vendors to accomplish the property
clean up; 3.) authorization for staff to contract the services of the vendor who provides the best,
most responsive quote; and 4.) that Code Enforcement Staff and the County Attorney be
authorized and directed to place a lien on the subject property to recover the fines, administrative
costs, and clean up costs as provided in Section 11.03.05 of the Code.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: January 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: EA Tapping Services - Contract for Large Taps, Line Stops, and Valve
Insertions
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: OCWS staff requests BCC approval to authorize the Chairman to
execute a contract with EA Tapping Services LLC for large taps, line stops, and valve insertions.
BACKGROUND: OCWS has had a tapping and line stop contract (C09-1690-WS) with EA
Tapping Services since 2009. The original contract had a one year term with three one year
renewals. We have reached the end of the allotted renewal periods. OCWS staff are requesting
BCC approval of the proposed new contract with EA Tapping Services for a three year term with
three one year renewals.
Large taps and line stops are necessary from time to time to make new connections to our system
or to repair our system. It is imperative to have these services readily available to maintain our
system. In emergency situations involving large line breaks, OCWS does not have a means to
stop the flow if valves are not present. Not being able to stop the flow on a large line may have
catastrophic consequences. Staff also utilizes line stops in controlled, planned environments,
such as inserting a tee or gate valve into an existing line to serve as a connection. However, even
in these types of scenarios things can easily go awry with aging infrastructure or a contractor that
is not specialized and careful. Due to this very serious and continual need, a competent and
trusted contractor is essential to provide these necessary services. OCWS has tried various
contractors over the years in this role, but EA Tapping Services stands out for their
professionalism, technical proficiency, low cost, and most importantly, their reliability.
Therefore, attached for your review and consideration is a new contract with EA Tapping
Services. Also attached are the County Contract Review Coordination Sheet and their current
insurance certificate. Regarding the unit pricing, EA Tapping Services has agreed to utilize their
current pricing from the 2009 contract (for which they were the low-bid contractor) for large taps
and line stops - without an increase. In fact, if multiple taps/stops are done in one mobilization,
they bill for less than the unit price amount - via the bundling discount listed in Exhibit B of the
contract. The new contract includes unit pricing for valve insertions.
The following is a more detailed description of the services that EA Tapping Services provides:
- Large Taps - large tapping machines are a proprietary technology that is unavailable to
municipalities. Any project requiring taps larger than 12 inches have to be done by a contractor.
- Line Stops - sometimes necessary to connect to pressure water and sewer lines. It's not
economically feasible for OCWS to own all the equipment necessary to cover all of the line sizes
and site conditions present in our system. A large line stop event is a high risk, time dependent
Packet Pg. 282
and critical activity.
- Valve Insertion - this is a newer service that has become very popular in the industry, for good
reason. It allows the placement of valves on live lines anywhere in the system. This provides
tremendous flexibility when planning for maintenance and new construction projects and will
eliminate the need for service outages in many scenarios.
OCWS has utilized EA Tapping Services in the past several years for critical projects such as:
City of Ft. Walton Beach 36" Transmission Main & Wastewater Consolidation, Main Island Lift
Station, Rocky Bayou Force Main, and the Arbennie Pritchett WRF Program. For the last 3
years on the previous contract, Okaloosa County has paid EA Tapping Services an average of
$19,613 per year. This is a relatively low cost, for a vital high-risk service.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends BCC approval for the Chairman to execute the
contract with Ea Tapping Services LLC for large taps, line stops, and valve insertions.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: January 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: Camp Rudder Wastewater Project, Quotes in Lieu of Bids
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: 3
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: OCWS staff requests BCC approval to authorize the Purchasing
Department to solicit quotes in lieu of formal bids for the purchase of pipe and associated
materials for the construction of the Camp Rudder Wastewater Project.
BACKGROUND: County staff has been in discussions with other local and federal entities
regarding the consolidation of wastewater collection, treatment and disposal services. These
opportunities have arisen as a result of the construction of the new 10 MGD Arbennie Pritchett
Water Reclamation Facility (APWRF). A contract with Eglin AFB staff and BCC was executed
on Aug. 23, 2012 and construction is well under way. The last phase of the project is the
proposed force main that will commence at a new pump station to be constructed at the Camp
Rudder cantonment and will connect to the existing 17-mile 7SFG force main, ultimately
discharging into the APWRF.
The project will consist of the construction of a new duplex pump station, approximately 45,000
LF of 8" force main (including 10" bores where necessary) and fiber optic communication
conduit. OCWS will be self performing the construction of the pump station, force main and
fiber optic conduit using OCWS Staff and equipment to expedite completion of the project.
OCWS estimates that using their own forces and equipment will shorten the construction
schedule and will reduce the project costs over contracting with an outside construction
company. OCWS estimated the design-build project to cost approximately $1,600,000.
At their regular meeting on February 5, 2013, the BCC authorized the solicitation of quotes in
lieu of bids for the piping/appurtenances for the material procurement for several phases of the
overall projects for the East County force main project, including the work to be performed at
Eglin main. OCWS and Purchasing staffs have met to discuss procurement strategy for the
remaining phase, which is the Camp Rudder Wastewater Project. On the complex items, such as
the lift station, we feel that the formal bid process is absolutely necessary. On more
straightforward items like pipe and miscellaneous appurtenances, we feel the most economical
approach is to solicit quotes in lieu of bids. Historically, the same vendors will provide pricing
whether it is quotes or a formal bid process. Because quotes are a competitive process, OCWS
and Purchasing believe the prices will come in under the budgeted amounts. In addition,
obtaining quotes instead of bids allows for a quicker, more streamlined process. In many of
these projects, time is of the essence, because of the above-mentioned goals and objectives.
Therefore, OCWS and Purchasing staff request to solicit quotes in lieu of bids for any piping and
miscellaneous appurtenances (valves, manholes, conduit, etc.) for the Camp Rudder Wastewater
Project. In addition, we will set up Public Meetings per Florida Statutes to request BCC
Packet Pg. 302
approval for self performance of the construction work for the project at the appropriate time.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends BCC approval to authorize the Purchasing
Department to solicit quotes and to proceed with the (award) purchase from the lowest
responsive and responsible quoter in order to save money and time on the purchase of pipe and
miscellaneous appurtenances for the Camp Rudder Wastewater Project.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: January 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: Arbennie Pritchett WRF Expansion - Engineering RFQ & Review
Committee
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: OCWS and Purchasing staff request permission to move forward
with a qualifications based selection process for a contract with an engineering consultant for the
Arbennie Pritchett WRF Expansion Project to serve as the Owner's Representative and Design
Criteria Professional.
BACKGROUND: Construction of the Arbennie Pritchett Water Reclamation Facility (APWRF)
was completed in 2009 and has an annual average daily flow (AADF) capacity of 10 million
gallons per day (MGD). This $65M program with 5 sub-projects was a huge success. The
project was completed within budget and on-time. This state-of-the-art WRF has now been
operating efficiently for about 4 years with parameters well below our state permit requirements.
In addition, the APWRF has been the foundation for many related agreements that have
generated revenue or reduced expenses for the Water & Sewer Enterprise Fund: 7th Special
Forces, City of Ft. Walton Beach, Eglin Air Force Beach (Duke Field, Camp Rudder, Main Base,
and the Navy EOD school), and Niceville/Valparaiso (diverting East County flow).
Currently, the actual AADF is approximately 6.3 MGD. With the additional flow of the above-
mentioned projects and other ongoing development, we anticipate being above 8 MGD of actual
AADF in about 2 years. On paper, the capacity reserved is approximately 8.5 MGD. Although
we have about 15% capacity remaining of the average daily flow, this puts us in an
uncomfortable position for the long-term and the short-term during peak flow events, such as
storms or hi-flow summer weekends. Because of this, OCWS has a 5 MGD plant expansion in
our approved 5-year CIP: $2M in FY2014, $8M in FY2015, and $3M in FY2016. Most
importantly, we expect this $13M total to be funded with cash. In account 411-4199-599360,
OCWS has been saving up Capacity Expansion Charges (CECs) that have been received on the
above-mentioned projects and other large projects, such as some of the recent hotels. We
currently have approximately $4.5M in this account and are under contract with Eglin AFB for
another $8.5M, which is expected to be received in the summer of 2014. Staff feels that the
responsible thing to do is fund the 5 MGD needed expansion from the $13M to be in this
account. There is also a desire to proceed with the expansion before the amount of CEC funds
available is rendered insufficient by construction material inflation. Fortunately, the APWRF
was designed and constructed with a future expansion in mind, from 10 MGD to 15 MGD.
Certain components (i.e. head works, UV channels, admin building, etc.) have already been
constructed for 15 MGD AADF, and room on the site has been left available for the needed
expansion (oxidation ditch, clarifier, etc.).
Packet Pg. 305
As Okaloosa County did in the late 2000s, when APWRF went through the procurement and
design process, staff is proposing the design-build method of procurement, following Florida
Statues and Design Build Institute of America (DBIA) requirements/guidelines. We feel that
design-build is the best approach to large, high-dollar projects; with 1 company doing both the
design and construction, it avoids finger pointing and potentially litigious situations, thereby
lowering risk to the owner. The bidding process of selecting a design-build (D-B) contractor is
qualifications based. Interested firms would submit both qualifications and bids in separate
envelopes. The most qualified D-B contractor would be selected with the intent to negotiate a
contract. The other set of envelopes would then be opened with their actual bid price.
Negotiation then occurs with the most-qualified bidder until a final price is reached. If a price
cannot be negotiated, negotiations would cease with the most-qualified bidder and commence
with the next-most qualified bidder. This paragraph is just a brief summary of the D-B
procurement process. Staff will come back to the Board in the future to obtain permission to
move forward with the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a D-B contractor.
Currently, staff is requesting permission to issue an RFQ for an engineering consultant to serve
as the Owner's Representative and be the Design Criteria Professional (DCP), as outlined in
Florida Statutes 287.055 (AKA "Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA)"). Because
the anticipated amount of this contract exceeds the thresholds listed in this statute, an existing
continuing contract (AKA "master services agreement") cannot be utilized. A new contract will
need to be executed for the professional engineering services necessary to move forward with the
plant expansion. These professional engineering services may include but are not limited to the
following services: owner's representative in procuring and coordinating with D-B contractor;
serve as the Design Criteria Professional; prepare the RFQ (for D-B contractor), the Request for
Proposal (RFP), and the Design Criteria Package (performance specifications and preliminary
engineering); evaluate Statement of Qualifications and bids; perform engineer's cost estimates;
groundwater modeling; permitting; engineering services during construction; resident
observation; develop and manage Owner Purchased Equipment (OPE) program; coordinate
complete system startup; construction administration; perform any miscellaneous engineering
and technical service required in support of the project and specifically requested by the County.
OCWS and Purchasing staff would now like to begin the process of obtaining an engineering
consultant for the APWRF Expansion Project via the formal qualifications based selection
process. If authorized by the Board, OCWS staff will work with Purchasing staff to formulate a
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to begin the formal selection process. In the State of Florida
per the Competitive Consultants Negotiations Act (CCNA), the selection criteria for the award of
engineering contracts are qualifications based.
Staff also recommends the following Review Committee to evaluate the statements of
qualifications received and bring back a recommendation to the Board, regarding which firms to
enter contracts with:
Zan Fedorak or designee - Purchasing Manager (non-voting member to oversee)
Nathan Boyles - Board of County Commissioners, Water & Sewer Liaison
Packet Pg. 306
Jeff Littrell - Water & Sewer, Director
Jeb Chessher - Water & Sewer, Project Manager
Darren Alford - Water & Sewer, Wastewater Operations Manager
Jason Autrey - Public Works, County Engineer
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff requests BCC approval to move forward with the qualifications
based selection process (via a RFQ) for a contract with an engineering consultant for the
Arbennie Pritchett WRF Expansion Project and approval of the above-mentioned review
committee. A recommendation of award will be brought back to the BCC at a later date.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE: OCWS staff requests BCC approval to authorize the Chairman to
execute a contract renewal with Fort Bend Services, Inc. for the purchase of a specialized
polymer (FBS C1282) used in the sludge thickening and dewatering process at the Arbennie
Pritchett Water Reclamation Facility (APRWF).
BACKGROUND: This would be the second of three available renewals already included in
contract C12-1935-WS. The approximate annual value of this contract is $275,000. Polymer is
a highly specialized chemical, and not a typical commodity that you would purchase in bulk
from a low-bid bidder. It is used for sludge thickening and dewatering in the final process of
wastewater treatment at APWRF. This particular type of polymer, FBS C1282, went through a
rigorous testing process when APWRF was designed and constructed. The Contract/Lease
Renewal Form and Certificate of Insurance are attached for your review and consideration.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.

Modify title to read “Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners Operating
Procedures For Law Enforcement Trust Fund”
A. Okaloosa County LETF Application:
1. Eliminate Category 5. Other Law Enforcement Purpose from the form for non-
law enforcement applicants. Rationale: This category is a very "gray area" open
to interpretation and should be reserved only for law enforcement purposes. A
couple of these from non-profits last year caught the interest of the Auditor
General and they did not seem to buy the fact that our County Attorney said the
Board can set its own criteria for this category.
2. Recommend any organization that uses the provided LETF for purchases other
than as authorized by the FL Statute and by what they stated to the Board in
their application and/or that does not provide the required receipts for their
expenditures within the required time frame should be disqualified from applying
for funding for a minimium of two years. Rationale: In the past, many
organizations did not provide any documentation for how they actually spent the
LETF funds within the required time period and caused multiple requests from our
finance Dept. to get the receipts. Then, when the receipts did come in, many of
the expenditures were for items that did not have any relationship to the
statutury uses of for what the organizations stated in their applications of what
the funds would be used for. Having this disqualification criteria in our
program will better ensure receiving organizations use the funds for authorized
purposes and that they get their receipts submitted on time. NOTE: It will be
easy for organizations to avoid disqualification by merely complying with the
program requirements.
3. The "reimbursement" criteria should apply to the Sheriff, since it appears
that the funds from the LETF account as authorized by the Board will actually be
disbursed to the Sheriff. The Sheriff needs to be accountable since he is the
one selecting the applicants and the one who actually disburses the funds to the
organizations. This will also provide incentive for the sheriff to ensure his
selected organizations comply with program procedures.
B. LETF Operating Procedures:
1. Sections2. subpara. c): After last sentence, add; "Such programs require
approval of the Board prior to disbursement of funds." Retionale: Although the
OCSO has the discretion to select the programs, this will clarify that Board
approval is also required.
C. Application for Traffic Education Disbursements;
1. Para. 2 of application states "proposed uses(s) ... these funds shall be
used ..." whereas the statement in the next block on page 2 states "... I have
submitted appropriate documentationn of expenditures ..." Recommend this process
be similar to LETF in that funds can be disbursed after approval by the Board,
however, the Sheriff and the School Board must provide receipts/documentation as
to how the funds were actually spent.
2. Recommend these application forms only be signed by the Sheriff (for OCSO
porposed expenditures) or by the Chairman of the Okaloosa County School Board
(for school district expenditures). Rationale: This would be in keeping with
the intent of Ordinance 11-7, and, since these funds are 'outside of' normal
Packet Pg. 323
budget expenditures it will better ensure that such expenditures have been
reviewed and approved by the appropriate elected officials prior to coming to the
Board.
