BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: June 17, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Sunil Harman
SUBJECT: Approval of Assignment of Lease to DTG Operations, Inc.
DEPARTMENT: Airport
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners is requested to approve
the assignment and assumption of the Advantage Rental Car concession and service
facilities leases at Northwest Florida Regional Airport (VPS) to DTG Operations, Inc.
BACKGROUND: When Avis and Budget rental car companies (Cendant Corporation)
decided to consolidate brands at VPS and share the Avis facilities, Advantage Rental Car
was competitively selected and assigned the former Budget concessionaire and service
facilities leases. Subsequently, Advantage entered bankruptcy, and Hertz Corporation
(through DTG Operations, Inc.) has recently purchased, at a court sanctioned auction, the
rights to Advantage's leases at VPS. Now, Hertz, which had to divest its ownership of
Advantage in order to purchase Thrifty-Dollar, has requested the County assign
Advantage’s leaseholds to DTG, which will act to assume the on-premises rental car
concession through its Thrifty-Dollar brand. Although the former Thrifty-Dollar operator
at the VPS is indebted to the County for what we contend are rather substantial amounts
due to non-payment of various rents, fees and user charges relating to its past tenure as an
on-premises rental car concessionaire, it was a franchise for which debt the corporate DTG
Operation, Inc. is not legally responsible. The County is presently in litigation over that
debt. Since the bankruptcy court has approved the auction purchase, Hertz/DTG has the
right to have the assignment take place as ordered. Official Board acceptance of the
assignment and assumption is necessary, and it is viewed as beneficial in filling the on-
premises space left vacant by Advantage and securing a continued stream of rental and fees
income. DTG will provide the County with a fully executed copy of the Assignment upon
the Closing of the Asset Acquisition.
OPTIONS: Approve, disapprove or table.
RECOMMENDATIONS: The Airports staff recommends approval of the assignment and
assumption of the two leases (concession and service facilities). A copy of the Assignment
and Assumption Agreement to be considered is attached.

SUBJECT: Outstanding Invoice
DEPARTMENT: Airport
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval to pay C&S Operations, Inc. Que Center Group,
for an outstanding invoice of $3,000.00.
BACKGROUND: C&S Operations, Inc. Que Centre Group provides a web based workorder
system to the Airports Department that is used for repair, maintenance and general upkeep of the
airport. This work order service has been secured by purchase orders in the past. Historically,
invoices for this service have been paid by after-the-fact purchase orders. “After the Fact”
meaning the department did not submit a requisition to Purchasing for approval prior to placing
the order. These types of purchases do not comply with the current Purchasing Policy and as of
October 1, 2013, Finance no longer approves purchase order payments for services invoiced
after-the-fact.
Staff is entering into a contract with C&S Operations, Inc. Que Centre Group to correct this
situation. Board approval to direct pay the outstanding invoice is required.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove
RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommend approval of direct payment for the outstanding invoices
to C&S Operations, Inc. Que Centre Group.

SUBJECT: OC Admin Building - Funding Release for Steel Package
DEPARTMENT: Facility Maintenance
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Requests BCC approval of funding for the Steel Package for the new
Okaloosa County Administration Building.
BACKGROUND: The work to ready the former Shalimar Annex site for the construction of a
new 63,000 + s.f. building is moving along at a very quick pace. The asbestos abatement
activities are nearly complete and the demolition of the existing structures will begin very soon.
After the site work and building foundation are prepared, the building's structure will begin to go
vertical. To do that, the structural steel package needs to be on site and ready to erect.
Structural steel, like a number of other elements of a large building, must be ordered well in
advance of the day when it will be needed. These elements are in the critical path for the
completion of the project. The amount of funding requested (up to $1,500,000) for the steel is an
estimate. Steel is a commodity and the price will only be fixed when an order is placed.
The steel must be ordered right away to be on site when needed. Any delay in ordering or
receiving the steel may result in the building not being ready for occupancy prior to the
expiration of the Uptown Station lease.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Requests BCC approval of funding in an amount up to $1,500,000 for
the Steel Package for the new Okaloosa County Administration Building.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: June 17, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Don Vanderhoek
SUBJECT: Approval to pay CSX Transportation Invoices
DEPARTMENT: Information Systems
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board is requested to approve payment of two CSX
Transportation permit related invoices totaling $4,128.62.
BACKGROUND: In the Fall of 2013 we applied to CSX Transportation for a permit for CE&I
services for sub-grade HDD installation of 2” HDPE pipe to carry 96 count fiber optic cable
under CSX tracks in Crestview. The CSX permit process is multi-staged: an application and
non-refundable review fee are submitted; a license fee and insurance fees are submitted; and,
upon CSX approval, construction activities can begin. After complying with all permit
requirements, the permit was issued. As part of the construction activities CSX determined that
a flagman and an inspector were required. These services cannot be provided by any personnel
other than authorized CSX employees. We are presenting to the Board for payment approval
two invoices totaling $4,128.62 for flagman and inspector related charges. Funding is available
in the Telecommunications budget for payment of these two invoices.
OPTIONS: Approve/disapprove.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Board payment approval is requested in order to process payment
of two CSX Transportation invoices totaling $4,128.62 for flagman and inspector related charges
for fiber optic work under CSX tracks in Crestview.

FROM: Dino J. Villani
SUBJECT: Outstanding FirstWatch Annual Support and Maintenance Invoice
DEPARTMENT: Public Safety
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval to pay FirstWatch, Inc., for annual support and
maintenance during the period of April 1, 2014-March 31, 2015, for a total of $2,696.36.
BACKGROUND: FirstWatch is the sole vendor of operational data analysis software for
Okaloosa County Emergency Medical Services. The FirstWatch system monitors key
performance indicators in real time, such as response times, scene times and hospital drop-offs as
well as alerts for early signs of a chemical, biologic, radioactive or nuclear attack, or for
naturally occurring epidemics or pandemics. Historically, invoices for data analysis services
have been paid by after-the-fact purchase order. “After the fact” meaning the department did not
submit a requisition to Purchasing for approval prior to placing the order. The invoice for the
April 2014 - March 2015 period was submitted “after the fact.” These types of purchases do not
comply with the current Purchasing Policy and as of October 1, 2013, Finance no longer
approves purchase order payments for services invoiced after-the-fact.
Staff is working with Purchasing and Finance to ensure requests/purchases are made according
to an approved strategy in accordance with the Purchasing Policy. FirstWatch has been made
aware of our new purchasing policy and now understands the process. Board approval to direct
pay the outstanding invoice is required.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommend approval of direct payment for the outstanding invoice
to FirstWatch.

AVCON for Construction Administration for Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting (ARFF) Station.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The Board of County Commissioners accepted an FAA
Grant offer on September 12, 2013 to provide $2.7 million Airport Improvement Program
funding for construction of a fire station on a leased parcel closer to the runways at Eglin. In
exchange for the County constructing a $3 million Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF)
facility, the Air Force is leasing approximately four acres to the County, rent free for 25 years.
Eglin will equip, occupy, operate from and maintain this building. The location of the facility
provides Eglin with the improved capability to respond to both military and civilian aircraft
emergencies on the airfield. Importantly it will enable the Air Force to respond within the
established FAA criteria for civil aircraft emergencies.
The Board approved soliciting a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Construction
Administration and Inspection Services on the ARFF Station on April 1, 2014. The RFQ was
due on May 30, 2014 and three firms submitted their information. The submittals were reviewed
and ranked with AVCON, Inc. Being the highest ranking firm. Staff requests approval from the
Board to negotiate a contract with AVCON, Inc.
OPTIONS: Approve/Deny negotiating a contract with AVCON, Inc for Construction
Administration for Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting (ARFF) Station.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board approve negotiating a contract with
AVCON, Inc for Construction Administration for Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting (ARFF)
Station.

to include the amount and type preference offered. Any bidder failing to indicate such preference
will be removed from the County bid list and any and all bids from that firm will be rejected.

TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Zan Fedorak
SUBJECT: Seeking Approval to Pay Invoices for Services Provided by State Attorney
DEPARTMENT: Purchasing
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: [PUR] Seeking Board approval for Court Admin to pay invoices
for services provided by State Attorney.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: Court Administration requests Board consideration for
payment of quarterly invoices for services provided by the Office of the State Attorney for the
total amount of $3,969.00. These charges are incurred based on the Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA) between the Office of the State Attorney, First Judicial Court and Office of Court
Administrator, First Judicial Court. These invoices were previously paid by a requisition after
receiving the invoice; however, current policy prevents that process. In addition, there will be
another quarterly invoice received at the end of July for services rendered during the months of
April, May, and June for the amount of $1,323.00. We are also requesting that this invoice be
approved to be paid upon its receipt. Court Admin has a plan to do a purchase order for the
$1323.00 in the month prior to the quarter and services being rendered to avoid this situation in
the future.
The MOA states the fee for Teen Court, Domestic Violence Court, and Mental Health Court will
be $2,197. However, the billing is for $1,323 because they are no longer providing Teen Court
Services, therefore, they do not bill for that service. Purchasing staff will assist Court Admin
with an update to the MOA to address the fee amounts so that they correctly reflect amounts
listed and services provided in the future.
OPTIONS: Approve/Deny payment of existing invoices for services provided by the State
Attorney for the total amount of $3969.00 and payment of future invoice for April, May, and
June in the amount of $1,323.00 which will be received at the end of July.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends payment of existing invoices for services provided
by the State Attorney for the total amount of $3969.00 and payment of future invoice for April,
May, and June in the amount of $1,323.00 which will be received at the end of July.

will add 3G/4G modems at a reduced rate of $19.99. Amendments are attached.

TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Bullock Blvd vacation request
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: 5
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Stephen Rose of Okaloosa Walton Development Co, requests to
vacate a portion of Bullock Blvd. Mr. Rose has purchased several tracts of land which are
accessed by this right-of-way to be vacated. If vacation is approved, Mr. Rose intends to acquire
the vacated right-of-way from the adjacent landowners and use the right-of-way as a privately
maintained access to a single family development.
BACKGROUND: In February of 1968, Mr. Bill E. Boone and Reba Boone, husband and wife,
granted the Board of County Commissioners a strip of right-of-way by warranty deed as
recorded in the Official Records at Book 475, Page 343. This right-of-way is 42 feet in width and
154 feet in length. The purpose for the right-of-way was to provide access to property at 502
Bullock Blvd., which was a new home at the time of the right-of-way acquisition in 1968. This
Bullock Blvd spur was paved sometime in the past and this led to encroachment of pavement
outside the boundaries of the right-of-way.
Mr. Stephen Rose now owns the property located at the south end of Bullock Blvd spur and his
desire is to vacate this right-of-way and transform it into a private access to his future
development. Mr. Rose intends to relocate the roadway so that it lies within the limits of right-of-
way as a part of his development order to construct a single family residence subdivision.
Mr. Rose was made aware that vacated right-of-way is divided down the centerline and added to
the adjacent and contiguous properties lying along either side of the vacated right-of-way. The
acquisition of the vacated right-of-way will be Mr. Rose responsibility after the vacation process.
Mr. Rose is preparing the necessary instruments to acquire the vacated right-of-way from the
adjacent landowners so that he can build an access entrance to his development.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove to schedule a Public Hearing to vacate right-of-way.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve the request to schedule a Public Hearing to vacate the
above mentioned right-of-way to be held July 15, 2014.

I spoke with Greg regarding the Securitas agreement. He says this contract needs to go out for bid and that to get the
invoice paid, it will have to go to the Board for approval. Although the original agreement states language that Jack and I
interpreted as indefinite, Greg's decision is based on the date typed in "09/30/2007". Jo

Or, is it indefinite?

All,
Here's some historical information ... Upon further review of our hard file I found an Exhibit B form submitted by John
Christopher on 1/18/2006 that indicates "EXPIRES INDEFINITE" in the term space. The initial label affixed to the contract
signed on 1/18/2006 shows an expiration date of 9/30/2006. Then there is another agreement that was signed on
8/8/2006 that updated the commence date from "CALL" to 10/01/2006 and the language under the "Additional
Information" section. The label affixed to this agreement states "INDEFINITE" and had the " ... and will continue until
terminated upon 30 days ... " highlighted. Which would indicate that John converted this to an indefinite contract based
on that language and it has been maintained as indefinite. During that time neither party has given written notice to
terminate. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Jack

Hello, we need definitive direction on this. Initial email question below from April 4, 2014.
Today, we received a pay request under the Addendum/Amendment/Renewal to contract, C06-1315-TDD and cannot
approve.
How can the agreement Addend/Amend/Renew without a "Renewal" or Modification to extend the original agreement
that expired 9-30-2007?
We have attached the FYE 9-30-2006 Agreement from our file along with the 9-30-2007 FYE Agreement.
We have also attached Purchasing's agreement 9.30.07 that indicates it is Indefinite, this office has no record of that
document.
Thank you for your help.

2. The same agreement on the Purchasing site has a different label and indicates Indefinite.
3. We also have in our file C06-1315-TD2-73 agreement signed by Richard B. 8-8-06, with an expiration of 9-30-

We have no record of any renewal past 9-30-2007 and we have no record to close the file from Purchasing.
How can we process this new Addendum/Amendment/Renewal as Indefinite without a change in the terms, when
the last original on hand reads Expires 9/30/2007-Annual Renewed?

DATE: June 17, 2014

FROM: Ed Schroeder
SUBJECT: Payment for Bayview Plaza Logo Creation
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval of payment in the amount of $800 for Bayview
Plaza Logo Creation to dick smith.
BACKGROUND: At the time services were engaged for creation of a logo for the new Bayview
Plaza, staff thought payment would be made via credit card due to the dollar amount of the
purchase. After services were performed and the invoice was received, the vendor advised he
does not accept credit card payments.
At this point, there is no method to pay the vendor in accordance with County purchasing policy
now that the work has been performed without a prior arrangement for payment. Board approval
is requested to pay the vendor.

SUBJECT: Bill Smith Electric, Inc. Change Order No.1
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: ALL
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Approve Change Order No. 1 to add 60 days to the contract for the
rehabilitation of the electrical systems in manholes at the Russell Stephenson Wastewater
Reclamation Facility.
BACKGROUND: The work covered under this contract is for the rehabilitation of the electrical
systems in manholes at the Russell Stephenson Water Reclamation Facility. This change order is
for an extension of time from 90 days to 150 days on contract C14-2145-WS ending June 11,
2014. There are no monetary changes. The change order request was initiated, executed, and
submitted to Purchasing in a timely manner under the assumption that the Purchasing Manager
could sign it. However, as stated in the Purchasing Manual, the completion date must be less
than 60 days for the Purchasing Manager to sign, and this was not realized until after the
deadline; therefore, BCC approval is needed. The reason for the 60 day extension is weather
delays.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: OCWS requests BCC approval to authorize the Chairman to execute
Bill Smith Electric, Inc. Change Order No. 1, extending the original contract from 90 days to 150
days, and approval of payment on any expenses incurred since June 11th, 2014.

TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: Arbennie Pritchett WRF Expansion - Engineering RFQ Award & Contract
Approval
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: OCWS and Purchasing staff seek approval to award RFQ #WS 37-
14 to Constantine Engineering to serve as the Owner's Representative and Design Criteria
Professional for the Arbennie Pritchett WRF Expansion Project and to authorize the Chairman to
execute the "Agreement for Consulting Services" with Constantine Engineering for an amount
not to exceed $1,189,400. Staff also requests to move forward with a qualifications based
selection process for a contract with a Design/Build (D/B) Team, as outlined below.
BACKGROUND: On January 7, 2014, the BCC authorized staff 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. The BCC also approved a Review
Committee to review the Statement of Qualifications submitted by interested engineering firms.
That Agenda Request along with background information on the Arbennie Pritchett WRF
Expansion Project is attached for your review. This previous Agenda Request explains the
project need, funding, and the design-build process/roles.
Since the above-mentioned approvals, OCWS and Purchasing staff worked together to produce
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) # WS 37-14, titled "Design Criteria Professional, Owner's
Representative & Consulting Engineering Services for a Proposed 5 MGD Expansion to
Okaloosa County Water & Sewer's Arbennie Pritchett WRF". This RFQ went through County
Contract Review, and the Coordination Sheet is attached. The RFQ was then advertised via
multiple outlets: 1) newspaper, 2) BidNet, a statewide procurement tool, and 3) emails to
specific engineering firms in the area that have shown interest in past Engineering RFQs for
County projects.
Upon the March 28, 2014 deadline listed in the RFQ, one engineering firm submitted a
Statement of Qualifications - Constantine Engineering. The individuals of the Review
Committee reviewed Constantine's submittal, and deemed that they were a qualified engineering
firm capable of performing the required roles listed in the RFQ. Constantine was Program
Manager and Owner's Representative for the $65M program to construct the original Arbennie
Pritchett WRF and related sub-projects that concluded in 2011. They have also been pivotal in
other related wastewater projects, such as Ft. Walton Beach Consolidation, 7th Special Forces,
Eglin Main Base, and Niceville/Valparaiso (diverting East County flow).
Packet Pg. 390
After the Review Committee meeting, staff then negotiated a professional services agreement
with Constantine Engineering for them to serve as the Owner's Representative, Design Criteria
Professional, and perform other engineering services. The attached "Agreement for Consulting
Services" (Agreement) with Constantine Engineering is attached for your review, consideration,
and approval. Along with the Agreement, attached is Exhibit A (scope of work), Exhibit B
(compensation), and the County Contract Review Coordination Sheet.
Please recall that this is a design-build project, budgeted at $13M in the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) years FY2014-FY2016. Of that budget, with the execution of this Agreement, an
amount not to exceed $1,184,900 would be under contract with Constantine. Over $11M would
be slated for the actual design/build construction, whereby a Design/Build Team would be under
contract in the future to produce the design and perform the construction. As the Owner's
Representative, Constantine would be overseeing the project in the following manner
summarized as: serve as the Design Criteria Professional; prepare the RFQ (for Design/Build
Team), the Request for Proposal (RFP), and the Design Criteria Package (DCP; 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. A more thorough explanation is included with Exhibit A.
With the approval of this Agreement, Constantine's first major task would be to draft the RFQ
for a Design/Build (D/B) Team. Therefore, staff is also requesting to move forward with a
qualifications based selection process for a contract with a D/B Team, with the following
process:
- Constantine to prepare the RFQ for staff's consideration. Staff will then review and finalize the
RFQ.
- Purchasing Staff to advertise RFQ and oversee.
- Upon receiving submissions from interested D/B Teams, on behalf of the County, Constantine
to serve as the technical expert to evaluate the D/B Teams using pass/fail criteria and provide a
recommendation to the OCWS Staff as to the elimination of any firm that failed to meet the
minimum standards. OCWS Staff will then meet and evaluate those that meet the minimum
requirement to arrive at the short-list of D/B Teams.
- Constantine to prepare the DCP and RFP for staff's consideration. RFP would go through
County Contract Review. The DCP is a technical document - preliminary drawings and
performance specifications.
- RFP and DCP to be issued to short-listed D/B Teams.
- OCWS Staff and Constantine will hold a mandatory pre-proposal meeting with all short-listed
D/B Teams present. In addition, Proprietary Meetings will be held with each of the short-listed
D/B Teams to discuss confidential conceptual design ideas.
- Upon receiving the proposals from the D/B Team, the following Review Committee would
review:
Zan Fedorak or designee - Purchasing Manager (non-voting member to
Packet Pg. 391
oversee)
Nathan Boyles - Board of County Commissioners, Water & Sewer Liaison
Jeff Littrell - Water & Sewer, Director
Jeb Chessher - Water & Sewer, Project Manager
Darren Alford - Water & Sewer, Wastewater Operations Manager
Jason Autrey - Public Works, County Engineer
- Upon the Review Committee selecting the most qualified D/B Team to be recommended to the
BCC, OCWS Staff and Constantine would then open up the price envelope (a separate cost
proposal from the qualifications proposal), and then proceed to negotiate a contract with the D/B
Team. Florida Statutes 287.055 (AKA "Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA)")
will be followed and adhered to. This was also explained in the Jan. 7, 2014 Agenda Request.
-Resulting Agreement with the selected D/B Team would then be routed through County
Contract Review and then be brought to the BCC for approval and execution.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: OCWS and Purchasing staff recommend BCC approval to award
RFQ #WS 37-14 to Constantine Engineering to serve as the Owner's Representative and Design
Criteria Professional for the Arbennie Pritchett WRF Expansion Project and to authorize the
Chairman to execute the "Agreement for Consulting Services" with Constantine Engineering for
an amount not to exceed $1,189,400. Staff also recommend to move forward with a
qualifications based selection process for a contract with a Design/Build (D/B) Team, as outlined

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.).

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. 421
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.

AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: June 17, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Elliot Kampert
SUBJECT: FY 2014-2015 SHIP Certifications
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: In order to utilize State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program
funds, it is necessary for the County to certify that funds will be used in accordance with the
strategies provided in the current Local Housing Assistance Plan.
BACKGROUND: On May 21, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners approved the 2013 -
2016 Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) for Okaloosa County and the City of Fort Walton
Beach, including the Interlocal Agreement through which the City and County agree that the
funds will be allocated to Okaloosa County provided that 20% of the funds are spent within the
City unless qualified projects cannot be found.
Okaloosa County and the City of Ft Walton Beach have been allocated a total of $884,799, with
$789,683 assigned to the County, and $95,116 assigned to the City (see attached estimates). The
Okaloosa Community Development Corporation, a private, non-profit organization, serves as the
County's SHIP administrator, and also serves as the City's SHIP administrator through the
previously mentioned Interlocal Agreement. As provided in the Section O of the LHAP, the
SHIP Administrator (CDC) can utilize up to 10% of the allocation for administrative costs
associated with SHIP activities provided the County makes a finding that 5% of the allocation
plus 5% of program income is insufficient to pay the costs of administering the program. These
findings were made in Ordinance 93-13 and Resolution 2013-13.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners
authorize the Chairman to sign the attached certification, and authorize the Contracts and Grants
office of the Okaloosa County Clerk of Circuit Court to transmit the signed certification to the
Florida Housing Finance Corporation.

Legislative Proviso Language
From the funds in Specific Appropriation 2247, each local government must use a minimum of 20 percent
of its allocation to serve persons with special needs as defined in section 420.0004, Florida Statutes.
Before this portion of the allocation is released by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC), a
local government must certify that it will meet this requirement through existing approved strategies in
the local assistance plan or submit a new local housing assistance plan strategy for this purpose to the
FHFC for approval to ensure that it meets these specifications. The first priority of these special needs
funds must be to serve persons with developmental disabilities as defined in section 393.063, Florida
Statutes, with an emphasis on home modifications, including technological enhancements and devices,
Packet Pg. 465
which will allow homeowners to remain independent in their own homes and maintain their
homeownership.

obligated or liable hereunder to any party other than the Grantee.

Commission of any breach of covenant or any default which may then exist, on the part of the

shall exist shall in no way impair or prejudice any right or remedy available to the Commission
for such breach or default.

this Agreement is held invalid, the provision shall be severable and the remainder of this
Agreement shall not be affected. In such an instance the remainder would then continue to

Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Funds pursuant to this Agreement in good working
order for the useful life of the vehicles and equipment. The Grantee agrees not to make

needs of the transportation disadvantaged of the area. Purchased Project equipment and
vehicles shall be operated to their maximum possible efficiency. Purchased vehicles and
equipment will be used for the period of their useful lives in accordance with the most
current Commission policies. The Commission may, after consultation with the Grantee,
transfer purchased equipment and vehicles that it deems to be underutilized or that is not

be returned to the Commission at a specified location at a mutually agreeable time.
Reimbursement of any equity or interest of the Grantee will be made after another party
has assumed the obligations under the terms and conditions of this Agreement or disposal
of said items by sale has occurred. The Commission shall make the sole determination of
the Grantee’s interest and reimbursement. As determined by the Commission, failure to
satisfactorily utilize vehicles and equipment that are purchased with Project funds shall be
sufficient cause for non-payment by the Commission as provided in Paragraph 8.25.
14.73 Disposal of Purchased Project Equipment: Useful life of capital equipment is
defined in the Commission’s Capital Equipment Procedure as incorporated herein by
reference. The following applicable process must be used prior to disposition of any

equipment still has useful life, the Grantee must request written approval from the
Commission prior to disposing of any equipment purchased or financed in whole or
in part pursuant to this Agreement, including vehicles, during its useful life, for any
purpose. Proceeds from the sale of purchased project equipment and vehicles shall
be documented in the project file(s) by the Grantee. With the approval of the
Commission, these proceeds may be re-invested for any purpose which expands
transportation disadvantaged services for the non-sponsored. If the Grantee does
not elect to re-invest for purposes which expand transportation disadvantaged
services, the gross proceeds from sale shall be refunded to the Commission in the
same participation percentage ratios as were used to fund the original purchase.
b) The purchase of all vehicles and equipment financed in whole or in part pursuant
to this Agreement shall be undertaken by the Grantee on behalf of the Florida
Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged in accordance with State
regulations and statutes. Title to any vehicle purchased with Project funds shall be
in the name of the Grantee, subject to lien in favor of the Commission. The
Commission will relinquish all interest in the vehicles and equipment when it has
reached the end of its useful life and at this time the Commission will satisfy its lien
of record.
c) When a Grantee is no longer an eligible recipient of trip and equipment grant
funds and no longer a Commission approved Community Transportation Coordinator,
the capital equipment with useful life purchased with these grant funds must be
transferred to an eligible recipient in accordance with the Commission’s Capital
Equipment Procedure.

capital equipment or major components thereof, upon the Commission's request the Grantee shall
submit to the Commission, certification that all such equipment meets or exceeds the requirements
as identified in Exhibit "A." Failure to abide by this requirement shall be sufficient cause for
nonpayment by the Commission as provided in Paragraph 8.23.
16.00 Contractual Indemnity: To the extent permitted by law, the Grantee shall indemnify,
defend, save, and hold harmless the Commission and all their officers, agents or employees from all
suits, actions, claims, demands, and liability of any nature whatsoever arising out of, because of, or
due to breach of the agreement by the Grantee or its subcontractors, agents or employees or due
to any negligent act, or occurrence of omission or commission of the Grantee, its subcontractors,
agents or employees. Neither the Grantee nor any of its agents will be liable under this article for
damages arising out of injury or damage to persons or property directly caused or resulting from
the sole negligence of the Commission or any of their officers, agents or employees. The parties
agree that this clause shall not waive the benefits or provisions of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes
or any similar provision of law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Section 768.28, Florida
Statutes, no agency or subdivision of the state shall be required to indemnify, insure, or assume any
liability for the Commission's or any subcontractor’s or other entity’s negligence.
17.00 Appropriation of Funds:
17.10 The State of Florida's performance and obligation to pay under this agreement is
contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature. If applicable, Grantee’s
performance of its obligations under this Agreement is subject to an appropriation by the
Grantee’s Board of County Commissioners for the purposes set forth hereunder. The
Commission acknowledges where the Grantee is a political subdivision of the State of Florida it
is authorized to act in accordance with the Grantee’s purchasing ordinance(s), laws, rules and
regulations.
17.20 Multi-Year Commitment: Whereas the Commission is created in the Florida
Department of Transportation (Department) and assigned to the Secretary of the Florida
Department of Transportation for administrative and fiscal accountability purposes; 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(7)(a) and Section 287.058, Florida Statutes, are hereby
incorporated:
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 shall be 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 one 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
Trip & Equipment Grant Agreement 2014/2015
Form Rev. 4/2/2014 Page 18 of 28
Packet Pg. 486
succeeding fiscal years; and this paragraph shall be incorporated verbatim in all contracts
of the Department which are for an amount in excess of twenty-five thousand dollars and
having a term for a period of more than one year.
In the event that this Agreement is for more than one year, this Agreement may be
renewed on a yearly basis for a period of up to two (2) years after the initial Agreement
or for a period no longer than the term of the original Agreement, whichever period is
longer, on the condition that renewals shall be contingent upon satisfactory performance
evaluations by the Grantee and is subject to the availability of funds. The Commission’s
performance and obligation to pay under any multi-year Agreement is explicitly
contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature.
18.00 Expiration of Agreement: The Grantee agrees to complete the Project on or before June
30, 2015. If the Grantee does not complete the Project within this time period, this agreement will
expire. Expiration of this agreement will be considered termination of the Project and the procedure
established in Article 9.00 of this agreement shall be initiated. For the purpose of this Article,
completion of project is defined as the latest date by which services may have been provided or
equipment funds may have been received as provided in the project description (Exhibit "A").
Unless otherwise extended by the Commission, all reimbursement invoices must be received by the
Commission no later than August 15, 2015.
19.00 Agreement Format: All words used herein in the singular form shall extend to and include
the plural. All words used in the plural form shall extend to and include the singular. All words
used in any gender shall extend to and include all genders.
20.00 Execution of Agreement: This agreement may be simultaneously executed in a minimum
of two counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and such
counterparts together shall constitute one in the same instrument.
21.00 Vendors and Subcontractors Rights:
21.10 Vendors (in this document identified as the Grantee) providing goods and services to
the Commission will receive payments in accordance with section 215.422, Florida Statutes.
The parties hereto acknowledge Section 215.422, Florida Statutes, and hereby agree that the
time in which the Commission is required to approve and inspect goods and services shall be
for a period not to exceed eleven (11) working days upon receipt of a proper invoice. The
Florida Department of Transportation has twenty (20) days to deliver a request for payment
(voucher) to the Department of Financial Services after receiving an approved invoice from the
Commission. The twenty (20) days are measured from the latter of the date the invoice is
received or the goods or services are received, inspected, and approved.
If a payment is not available within forty (40) days after receipt of the invoice and receipt,
inspection and approval of goods and services, a separate interest penalty per day (as defined
by Rule) will be due and payable, in addition to the invoice amount to the Grantee. The
interest penalty provision applies after a 35 day time period to health care providers, as
Trip & Equipment Grant Agreement 2014/2015
Form Rev. 4/2/2014 Page 19 of 28
Packet Pg. 487
defined by rule. Interest penalties of less than one (1) dollar will not be enforced unless the
Grantee requests payment. Invoices which have to be returned to a Grantee because of
vendor preparation errors will result in a delay in the payment. The invoice payment
requirements do not start until a properly completed invoice is provided to the Commission.
A Vendor Ombudsman has been established within the Department of Financial Services. The
duties of this individual include acting as an advocate for vendors who may be experiencing
problems in obtaining timely payment(s) from the Commission. The Vendor Ombudsman may
be contacted at (850) 413-5516 or toll free (877) 693-5236.
21.20 Payment to Subcontractors: Payment by the Grantee to all subcontractors with
approved third party contracts shall be in compliance with Section 287.0585, Florida Statutes.
Each third party contract from the Grantee to a subcontractor for goods or services to be
performed in whole or in part with Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund moneys, must
contain the following statement:
When a contractor receives from a state agency any payment for contractual services,
commodities, supplies, or construction contracts, except those construction contracts
subject to the provisions of chapter 339, the contractor shall pay such moneys received to
each subcontractor and supplier in proportion to the percentage of work completed by
each subcontractor and supplier at the time of receipt of the payment. If the contractor
receives less than full payment, then the contractor shall be required to disburse only the
funds received on a pro rata basis with the contractor, subcontractors, and suppliers, each
receiving a prorated portion based on the amount due on the payment. If the contractor
without reasonable cause fails to make payments required by this section to subcontractors
and suppliers within seven (7) working days after the receipt by the contractor of full or
partial payment, the contractor shall pay to the subcontractors and suppliers a penalty in
the amount of one-half of one percent of the amount due, per day, from the expiration of
the period allowed herein for payment. Such penalty shall be in addition to actual
payments owed and shall not exceed 15 percent of the outstanding balance due. In
addition to other fines or penalties, a person found not in compliance with any provision of
this subsection may be ordered by the court to make restitution for attorney's fees and all
related costs to the aggrieved party or the Department of Legal Affairs when it provides
legal assistance pursuant to this section. The Department of Legal Affairs may provide legal
assistance to subcontractors or vendors in proceedings brought against contractors under
the provisions of this section.
22.00 Modification: This Agreement may not be changed or modified unless authorized in writing
by the Commission.

AND EQUIPMENT GRANT PROGRAM
TOTAL STATE FUNDING AMOUNT: $464,969.00
COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS:
ALLOWED ACTIVITIES:
Trip
An eligible non-sponsored trip is one that originates or ends in the Community Transportation
Coordinator’s service area. The Commission funds for non-sponsored trips shall be expended through a
Community Transportation Coordinator, which is operating under a current Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA), and will be expended at the fare structure contained in the approved Transportation
Disadvantaged Service Plan for the particular type or mode of service. Lack of an executed MOA and
approved Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan will prevent the expenditure of any of these non-
sponsored trip/equipment funds unless otherwise approved in writing by the Commission or their
designee. [Program Manual for Trip & Equipment Grants, Rule 41-2.014, Florida Administrative Code].
Equipment
Capital Equipment is any equipment used to maintain or provide improved or expanded transportation
services to the transportation disadvantaged and is exclusively utilized by the Community
Transportation Coordinator. Eligible capital equipment includes but is not limited to:
small medium buses, cutaway vans (van body on truck chassis), etc.;
station wagons or vans;
wheelchair lifts, ramps, and restraints;
two-way radios and communications equipment (TDD-Telecommunications Device for the Deaf),
cell phones, excluding annual service contracts;
computer hardware/software;
support equipment, other than items specifically identified in this section, above $500 per piece;

EQUIPMENT/REAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT:
All vehicles purchased with Transportation Disadvantaged Funds shall be titled to the recipient agency
with a lien to the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged. Equipment purchased with
this grant shall be for exclusive use by the Community Transportation Coordinator and shall not be
leased or assigned for operational responsibility to third parties, unless approved in writing by the
Commission. The Commission shall retain a majority of the interest in all capital equipment until the
useful life of such equipment has been consumed. At that time, the grantee may dispose of such
equipment with the written permission of the Commission in accordance with the Commission’s Capital
Equipment Procedures. [Program Manual for Trip & Equipment Grants].
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, all vehicles purchased through this grant, which
are to be utilized on a fixed route/fixed schedule service, must be lift equipped. Recipients who intend
to utilize project vehicles for demand response services shall assure their demand response service
offered to individuals with disabilities, including individuals who use wheelchairs, is equivalent to the
level and quality of service offered to individuals without disabilities. [Program manual for the Trip &
Equipment Grants].
The Community Transportation Coordinator may allocate up to 25 percent of the total project budget
for capital expenditures excluding voluntary dollar contributions. Each vehicle or other capital
equipment purchase must be covered for liability insurance. The Commission must be made an
additional insured for liability policies. [Program Manual for Trip & Equipment Grants, Rule 41-
2.014(2)(a), Florida Administrative Code].
MATCHING:
The trip/equipment grant program requires a local match. In defining local match, Rule 41-2.014(3),
Florida Administrative Code, requires that eligible grant recipients must provide at least 10 percent of
the total project cost as the local share. Examples of cash generated from local sources include local
appropriations, dedicated tax revenues, private donations, net income generated from advertising and
concessions, contract revenues, and farebox revenues. No federal or state revenues are acceptable as
local generated cash. [Program Manual for Trip & Equipment Grants].
A 10 percent match is required for the money from the voluntary dollar contribution generated from
the annual vehicle registration forms and must be in-kind match. Examples of in-kind match include
non-cash donations, volunteered services, and salaries and fringe benefits. The value of each of these

[Grant Agreement Provision 4.20].
SUBRECIPIENT MONITORING:
Third party contracts are contracts between a grantee and any subgrantee, or pass through funding
recipient, consultants, or others in the private sector for work needed to carry out a project. Unless
otherwise authorized in writing by the Commission, the Grantee may not execute any contract or
obligate itself in any manner requiring the disbursement of Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund
money, including transportation operator and consultant contracts or amendments thereto, with any
third party with respect to the project without being able to provide a written certification (upon the
Commission's request) by the Grantee that the contract or obligation was executed in accordance with
Trip & Equipment Grant Agreement 2014/2015
Form Rev. 4/2/2014 Page 27 of 28
Packet Pg. 495
the competitive procurement requirements of Chapter 287, Florida Statutes, Chapter 427, Florida
Statutes, and the rules promulgated by the Department of Management Services. The procurement,
execution, audit and closing of third-party contracts are basic grantee responsibilities and must be
carried out using the same guidelines and procedures as described in Chapter 287, Florida Statutes.
Inter-agency agreements or contracts passing through grant funds to other public bodies (including
public transit operators) or transportation operators as defined in Chapter 427, Florida Statutes, are
not third-party contracts. However, the pass-through recipient must comply with Chapter 287, Florida
Statutes, if it enters into any subsequent third-party contract using Transportation Disadvantaged
Trust Funds. [Grant Agreement Provision 12.10; Program Manual for Trip & Equipment Grants].
In addition to reviews of audits conducted in accordance with Section 215.97, Florida Statutes, as
revised, monitoring procedures may include, but not be limited to, on-site visits by Commission staff.
The Grantee agrees to comply and cooperate fully with any monitoring procedures/processes deemed
appropriate by the Commission, the Florida Department of Transportation’s Office of Inspector General
(OIG) and Florida’s Chief Financial Officer or Auditor General. [Program Manual for Trip & Equipment

AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: June 17, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Elliot Kampert
SUBJECT: Ozean Resort - Ozean Mixed Use Development
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: 2
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: To review the site development plans for Ozean Resort - a mixed
use development consisting of a proposed 193 room hotel, 100 condominium dwelling units, 140
marina slips, and a 15,297 square foot commercial mixed use building (restaurant, retail, office,
and marina operations) located at the northwest corner of Miracle Strip Parkway (SR 30) and
Gulf National Seashore Road, east of Elk’s Lodge on Okaloosa Island. The proposed
development will be built in three (3) phases of which Phase I consists of the 193 room 6-story
hotel and the 15,297 square foot 2 - story mixed use commercial building; Phase II consists of
the 140 slip marina; and Phase III consists of 100 condominium dwelling units. The property is
currently zoned Light Commercial & Concession Areas (B 3) and the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM) designation is Okaloosa Island (OI). Property contains 6.51 acres more or less.
BACKGROUND: As provided by Chapter 74-456 of the Laws of Florida, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) has final approval for any development on Okaloosa Island governed by
the Okaloosa Island Protective Covenants and Restrictions. Section 3.01.00 of the Land
Development Code requires that any proposed development shall be reviewed by the Okaloosa
Island Leaseholders Association Architectural Review Committee (ARC) which must make
recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. The proposed mixed use type
development was reviewed by the ARC on December 19, 2013 which found it to be in
compliance with the Okaloosa Island Protective Covenants and Restrictions.
Staff has reviewed the proposed development and found that is consistent with the Okaloosa
County Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code, and concurs with the ARC’s
determination regarding the Okaloosa Island Protective Covenants and Restrictions. As an
informational note, the County had previously issued a development order for a 450 unit hotel
room on January 9, 2009 for the same property where the proposed mixed use type development
will be located.
OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve
the proposed development as presented with the conditions that a revised FDOT Driveway
Construction Plan that complies with the FDOT and Public Works review comments/conditions
shall be provided. The traffic signal design plans shall be reviewed and approved by the FDOT
and Okaloosa County prior to permitting and installation of the proposed traffic signal. Staff also
recommends that the Board allow staff to post the Notice of Intent to Issue a Development Order
sign on the project site and to issue a development order when the condition specified above has

Good morning Annette,
According to the agreement below, “payment is due at the time of this acceptance.” Okaloosa County typically pays
invoices after services are rendered, and would therefore pay the invoice in June 2015. We are able to pay in advance of
services being rendered in very limited circumstances, given appropriate documentation:
1) advance payment results in a savings equal to or greater than the amount that would be earned by investing the
funds and paying later
or
2) goods or services are available only if advance payment is made
Is payment in June 2015 acceptable? If not, please be so kind as to advise whether either of the situations noted above
apply… Are the fees discounted in any fashion for payment in advance? Are we unable to participate at the welcome
centers unless payment is made in advance?

FROM: Don Turner
SUBJECT: New OC Admin Building - 50% Drawings Presentation
DEPARTMENT: Facility Maintenance
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: (FM) Requests BCC Direction Regarding the Scope and Design of
the Proposed Okaloosa County Administration Building to be built at the former Shalimar Annex
site in Shalimar.
BACKGROUND: The Design-Build contractor has continued to refine the preliminary building
design to produce a final design scheme around which final construction drawings for the new
Okaloosa County Administration Building will be developed. To assist in defining the overall
project scope, representatives of the Design-Build group will present the current 50% drawings
for the Board's direction.
The 50% drawings represent the proposed final iteration of the building design and interior
layout. After the presentation, the Board will be asked for its approval of the presented scheme.
Once approved, the technical details will be added to meet the user groups' and regulatory
agency's requirements. When all the details are added to the 50% drawings, the design phase of
the project is complete.
It's important to note that it's very important for the Board to approve the plans now. Any delay
may cause the project to miss its completion deadline and Uptown Station leases may not be
vacated on time.
RECOMMENDATIONS: (FM) Requests BCC approval of the presented 50% plans for the
proposed Okaloosa County Administration Building and authorize the plans to continue to be
developed to 100%.

DEPARTMENT: Facility Maintenance
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: (FM) Requests BCC approval of a Change Order to the D-B contract
with Lord & Son on the Okaloosa County Administration Building to add the Demolition of the
buildings to be razed.
BACKGROUND: With the asbestos abatement of the buildings to be razed at the former
Shalimar annex property being completed, the front five buildings must be demolished to make
room for the new building. The demolition work has been bid out by the D-B contractor and the
total cost to demolish the buildings and properly dispose of the waste is $178,784.69. This cost
is significantly lower than the pre-design budget estimate for this element of the project.
To avoid any delay in the start of construction on the new building, the demolition activities at
the site must begin right away. Any delay in acting on this Change Order may result in the new
building not being ready for occupancy prior to the expiration of the current leases at Uptown
Station.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Requests BCC approval of a Change Order in the amount of
$178,784.69 to the D-B Contract with Lord & Son on the Okaloosa County Administration
Building to add the Demolition of the buildings to be razed.

TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Submerged Lands Lease Annual Wet Slip Report and Gross Income
Reporting for the Pier
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: 2
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Submittal of the Annual Wet Slip Revenue Report and Gross
Income Reporting Form for FY13/14. This requirement was implemented in the Island Pier lease
renewal in May of 2006. This is in addition to the annual lease fee.
BACKGROUND and ANALYSIS: Staff requested and received information from the
Okaloosa Island Pier’s lessee of the income received from the use of the Pier facility from May
2013 thru April 2014. This information is reported as indirect income, and Lease fees received
by the county from the lessee are reported as direct income. Income is defined in Chapter 18-
21.003, Florida Administrative Code, as the gross revenue derived directly or indirectly from the
use of state-owned submerged lands. However, gross revenue shall not include pass-through fees
such as utility fees, sale of the facility or sales of products not occurring on sovereignty
submerged lands.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has clarified that only fees received by the
County from the monthly lease and fees collected by the Lessee that are associated with fishing
from and walking on the Pier are to be reported.
Submittal of the Gross Income Reporting Form requires execution of a Certification. After
submittal of the Gross Income Reporting Form, a supplemental invoice for additional fees will
be received from the Department of Environmental Protection.
OPTIONS: Approve/disapprove
RECOMMENDATIONS: Request authorization for the Chairman to execute the 2013/2014

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: June 17, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Kay Godwin
SUBJECT: Florida Blue Renewal
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Renew employee group health insurance and Blue Medicare
supplement with Florida Blue effective 10-1-14. Change the waiting period for new employees
enrolling in the employee health plan to comply with the requirements of the Affordable Care
Act.
BACKGROUND: The current county group health insurance contracts with Florida Blue
expire on 9/30/2014. There are no additional renewal periods available under the current
contract. In addition to the existing Florida Blue policy, the County has a ProShare agreement
with Florida Blue which is scheduled to expire on 9/30/2015. These contracts are tied together
because under the terms of the ProShare agreement, if the county goes out to bid or changes
healthcare insurers, the county would forfeit any refund they would be otherwise entitled to
under the ProShare agreement. Though these two contracts were entered into at the same time,
the expiration dates were not consistent.
The ProShare agreement is very favorable to the County and returns a portion of premiums in
excess of claims and administrative fees. Previous ProShare refunds have been $1.1 million in
2012 and $3.7 million in 2014. The next refund would be payable in 2016. If a new ProShare
agreement was entered into, it is anticipated that the refund provisions would not be as
advantageous as the current policy. Therefore Staff has been attempting to extend the Florida
Blue contract for an additional year so that its expiration will be consistent with the ProShare
contract. This would allow the County to obtain the favorable reimbursements for another year
that is in the contract.
Should the Board agree to extend the Florida Blue contract for an additional year, it would
reflect a 1.84% rate increase in the employee group health plans, and the Blue Medicare rates are
as described in the attached premium schedule. The ProShare Refund Agreement will remain in
effect, and proceeds from the refund received in 2014 will be used to offset the $40 monthly
employee contribution for another year.
The Purchasing Manual, Section G.3.d.(2) states, “Risk Management shall negotiate and
recommend to the Board for approval, policies of insurance coverage for property, liability and
special risk insurance that would be most advantageous to the County. These purchases shall
qualify as a direct payment.” Staff believes that it is in the best interest of the county to extend
the Florida Blue contracts as these agreements provide cost effective insurance with the potential
Packet Pg. 557
for a significant return of premiums in the future.
Additionally, under the County’s Purchasing Manual, Section G.3.d.(2) (1) it states: “The Board
may approve purchases of over $50,000.00 without formal bids where it is deemed to be most
advantageous to the County.”
Further, the Affordable Care Act mandates any waiting period for participation in an employee
health plan may not exceed 90 days. Currently new county employees are eligible to participate
in the employee group health plan on the first day of the first month after 90 days of
employment. Note: Directors are eligible to participate in the employee group health plan on
the first day of the first month following the date of employment. There would be no change for
this group. Staff recommends changing the waiting period for non-director employees to the
first day of the first month after 30 days of employment. The new waiting period will be
effective 10/01/2014.
OPTIONS: Approve the attached contracts or provide additional direction.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the renewal contracts
with Florida Blue and change the new employee waiting period for non-director employees as
described above.
