of the
EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Award of Contract of
Alternate 20” Water Main
Mr. Petty stated at the request of
the engineer, this item will be taken out of order.
Mr. McKune
stated five months ago we discussed constructing a new 20 inch water main connecting
our water plant to the existing main on
On December 13th, we
received four bids for the project, which are included in your agenda package. The low bid received was from Chaz Equipment Co. in the amount of $271,000. The engineer’s estimate for this work was
$280,000. Therefore, we are recommending
the Board award this project to Chaz Equipment Co.,
subject to funding being available.
According to the bid tabulation provided to the Board, the first three
bidders were closer to our estimate. I
do not know if the fourth bidder was looking at the same set of plans as he bid
$603,321.
Mr. Mendolia
asked have we used Chaz before?
Mr. McKune
responded not here but we have used them on other projects.
Mr. Mendelson
asked did they give you a timeframe?
Mr. McKune
responded yes. It should be on the order
of 150 days.
Mr. Mendolia
asked are they paid in increments?
Mr. McKune
responded they are paid monthly as they put in their construction.
Mr. Mendolia
asked are they paid and inspected at the same time?
Mr. McKune
responded they are paid 10% of the amount until the end of construction.
On MOTION by Mr. Mendelson
seconded by Mr. Mendolia with all in favor the alternate
20” water main contract was awarded to Chaz Equipment
Co. in the amount of $271,000.
FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Temporary
Right of Entry Grant
Mr. Petty stated this letter would
be used in an emergency to remove debris or get access to a facility we could
not get access to from any of our normal entry positions. This is the standard City of
Mr. Lyles stated this letter is used
if we cannot get access onto a public right-of-way with one of our normal
easements and have to go across a homeowner’s property to get to our
canals. We would have them sign this
form authorizing us to move our equipment onto their property. If we damaged their property, we will restore
it. This is a last ditch effort to get
to a place we need to get to through normal means. Of course, we cannot wait until a Board
meeting occurs so you will also be authorizing staff to sign this form along
with the homeowner to get access to our easement and storm drain assets.
On MOTION by Mr. Mendolia
seconded by Mr. Mendelson with all in favor the form
of grant of temporary right of entry was approved and staff was authorized to
execute same in absence of a Board meeting.
FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of
Engagement Letter with Berger, Toombs, Elam, Gaines & Frank for Audit of
Fiscal Year 2005
Mr. Petty stated this audit firm has
done work for you in the past. Their
letter is included in the agenda package.
Management recommends approval.
Mr. Mendolia
asked is this a reasonable amount?
Mr. Petty responded yes.
Mr. Mendolia
asked how long have they been our auditors?
Mr. Petty responded for more than
eight years.
On MOTION by Mr. Mendolia
seconded by Mr. Mendelson with all in favor the engagement
letter with Berger,
SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of
Documents Related to Bond Financing
A. Preliminary
Limited Offering Memorandum for Special Assessment Bonds
B. Limited
Offering for Water Management Bonds
Mr. Lyles stated this item was
continued from the last meeting. We do
not need any further action regarding the bond financing documents as the
pre-closing was held yesterday. We will
have another pre-closing in the January/February time frame.
SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Bid for the
Installation of an Automatic Gate Operating System/Surveillance Monitoring
Mr. Petty stated staff looked into
purchasing an automatic gate opener and a surveillance system for the entry
feature. From what I saw and what Mr. Hyche wrote in his letter, this gate is identical to the
one you passed through on the way in here, which has stood the test of time and
seems to be reliable. Will this gate be
at the utility site?
Mr. Hyche
responded yes.
On MOTION by Mr. Mendelson
seconded by Mr. Mendolia with all in favor the
automatic gate operating system and surveillance monitoring system contract was
awarded to Federal Security Corporation in the amount of $17,584.58.
NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Funding
Agreements and Work Authorizations
A. Revised
Funding Agreement #413 for Engineer Inspection Services of
B. WA#
151 – Parkland Country Club – Pod 17, 18 &19 W/S ESDC and Funding Agreement
#437
C. WA#
152 –
Mr. Petty stated these are in
standard form and were provided to the Board.
All of these items were reviewed by staff and recommended.
Mr. Mendelson
asked do these have to do with WCI?
Mr. Petty responded only the Funding
Agreements.
On MOTION by Mr. Mendolia
seconded by Mr. Mendelson with all in favor Funding
Agreement #413 for Engineer Inspection Services of Heron Bay Commercial
Residential Development; Work Authorization #151 and Funding Agreement #437 for
Water Distribution and Wastewater Collection for Parkland County Club Pods 17,
18 & 19 and Work Authorization # 152 and Funding Agreement #438 for Water
Distribution and Wastewater Collection for Parkland County Club Pod 20 were
approved.
TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Change
Orders
A. Change
Order #2 with Triple R Paving for the General Construction of Heron Bay North
Two Drainageways for a Net Increase of $9,329
Mr. Petty stated this change order
was sent to us after review by Gee & Jenson/CH2M-Hill and is recommended by
Mr. McKune.
Ms. Early stated Triple R Paving is
the current contractor for the Heron Bay North Two Drainageways. In the plan we have a manhole connecting two
lakes. After reviewing the plans
further, we decided to increase the size of the manhole to make it function
better. We will have a decrease at the
end of the job, which will show on the final balancing change order.
B. Change
Order #7 and Final with Triple R Paving for Nob Hill
Road, University Drive (Phase 2) and County Line Road Paving, Drainage, Water
and Wastewater for a Net Decrease of $157,261.62
Ms. Early stated the reason for the
decrease is we did not need the final coat of asphalt because of construction
currently taking place. We would rather
wait until the construction is completed before putting the final lift on.
Mr. Petty asked is $157,261.62 enough
to do the one inch asphalt when it comes time to do so?
Ms. Early responded yes.
On MOTION by Mr. Mendolia
seconded by Mr. Mendelson with all in favor Change
Order #2 with Triple R Paving for the General Construction of Heron Bay North
Two Drainageways for a Net Increase of $9,329 and
Change Order #7 and Final with Triple R Paving for Nob
Hill Road, University Drive (Phase 2) and County Line Road Paving, Drainage,
Water and Wastewater for a Net Decrease of $157,261.62 were approved.
ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Permits
A. Parkland Commons Drainage Permit
Ms. Early stated this is our typical
surface water management permit, which we review to make sure they have the
proper lake acreage and proper drainage system.
We submitted a letter to the Board regarding this item.
B. Pine Island Road Extension
Ms. Early stated this is the final
piece of roadway in North Springs and requires the same surface water
management permit.
On MOTION by Mr. Mendolia
seconded by Mr. Mendelson with all in favor the
requests for the
TWELFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Reduced Trash
Bond Fee for Lennar Homes
Mr. Petty stated Ms. Jean Rugg
evaluated this request and discovered some economies of scale. Her recommendation as stated in her letter is
for the Board to accept the proposed fee.
It is a slight reduction but based on cost recovery.
Ms. Early stated the plat for this
project shows the lake being dedicated to the HOA but theoretically they would
not need a permit. We typically do not
issue an irrigation permit to a resident for installation of a pipe into the
lake because it not taking a large quantity of water. However, Lennar insisted on having irrigation
permits for the subdivisions, which was done and this is what sparked the trash
bond matter. Mr. Nick Schooley was wondering why we were doing this since we did
not own the lake. We just received a
letter from an attorney regarding a complaint received by a homeowner on the
lake not being properly maintained. As a
result, Mr. Schooley looked at his map and discovered
we do not maintain the lake because it is owned by the homeowners. We looked it up and Toll Brothers prepared a
Quit Claim Deed and deeded it to the District without anyone’s knowledge. There was no signature from the District and
I do not believe this request ever came to the Board. Mr. Schooley was
not maintaining this lake because it was not on the list of lakes we own. Apparently the District now owns the lake and
I do not know whether or not this is legal.
Mr. Lyles stated the original
request from Toll Brothers was subject to dedication by the HOA. At some subsequent time, without going
through the HOA or this Board for acceptance, did they file a Quit Claim Deed?
Ms. Early responded yes.
Mr. Lyles stated the Board needs to
accept the Quit Claim Deed. All the Quit
Claim Deed does is it gives us any rights they have, meaning they do not have
to go to the homeowners for permission.
We need to straighten this out with Lennar to make sure we do not have
any variation between what is on the face of the plat and some recorded deed we
never saw.
Ms. Early stated apparently four or
five pumps drain into a NSID canal. The
interior lake is not owned by the District.
Mr. Mendelson
asked do we have to maintain it?
Ms. Early responded not unless they
deed it to us and we accept it.
Mr. Petty stated the current water
management system is for drainage purposes.
There are some retention requirements from your engineer as to what is
required according to the permit, which is what we operate and maintain. We can have applicants who can come before
the Board and say, “we have a lake not part of your drainage that we would like
you to maintain.” Typical considerations
by the Board are to maintain it but they will have to pay for the maintenance. You can raise and lower the assessment in
specific areas based on the cost you are incurring. Did this lake come before the Board at any
particular time?
Ms. Early responded only the surface
water management permit to make sure the system worked properly.
Mr. Petty stated site drainage is
different because it is nothing more than the engineer looking for the site
condition. If this is not District
property, we cannot process their request because we do not own the area. If someone has filed a Quit Claim Deed, which
we have not participated in, the attorney is going to want to look at it very
closely.
Mr. Lyles stated from time to time, Ms.
Tara Lynn-Patton from WCI will come before the Board with some conveyance documents. Among those documents will be Quit Claim
Deeds for some of the drainage facilities.
The Board will pass a motion to accept the Quit Claim Deeds and take
over maintenance responsibilities.
However, for someone to record a Quit Claim Deed with no action on our
part and no review by staff or vote by the Board does not complete the
transaction. They can record it but
without actual acceptance by the Board, we do not take responsibility for
it. The solution is to contact Toll
Brothers and clear this matter up. On
the Lennar matter, the Board should not take any action because these are water
bodies excavated as part of a private development project. We do not have responsibility for these water
bodies for maintenance and are therefore, not in a position to issue a permit
for irrigation systems. We will advise
Lennar they do not need anything from us and to go forward with their
project.
Mr. Mendelson
stated the Falls in
Ms. Early stated I think the Falls
belongs to the homeowners.
Mr. Lyles stated they were meant to
take it over.
Mr. Petty stated those are the
reasons you would let them come before this Board and petition to take it over
because HOA’s are not as stable as governments and
you would need this safety net from the residents. Typically you consider the matter with the
idea of cost recovery from the people benefiting from the improvement. If only 400 homes benefit from the fountain
and lake, they bare the cost. Staff
would be glad to talk to them about how to do handle the walk through and
satisfy our engineers.
THIRTEENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Conveyance Documents
for
Mr. Petty stated Mr. Hyche signed the Certificate of Receipt for the conveyance
documents and is recommending approval of the water and sewer facilities. We provided the Board with a list of those
facilities. Their engineer valued the
sewer system and lift stations at $300,000 and the water system at $170,000. We required Lennar to build the water and
sewer system and then dedicate it to the District before we supply them with
water to their homes. It is built in
accordance with our engineer’s design specifications. Does CH2M-Hill inspect the as-builts?
Mr. McKune
responded one of our civil engineer’s will review the as-builts
and give it to one of the District’s staff members who will do the inspection.
Ms. Early stated during
construction, we do a month to month inspection.
Mr. Petty stated staff is requesting
approval of the conveyance documents.
On MOTION by Mr. Mendelson
seconded by Mr. Mendolia with all in favor the
conveyance documents for Parkland Estates were approved.
FOURTEENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Use of
Mr. Lyles stated Triple R Paving who
is constructing the roadway, brought us a request from a not for profit
organization. There have been some
issues going back and forth with regards to insurance, who has the right to
give permission and how the District will be protected if we allow them to use
them to use the right-of-way for this charitable event. Ms. Lynn-Patton is assisting the city, the
District and WCI on this matter and can give some factual background. We resolved the insurance matter and
confirmed while this is on the right-of-way, this is still an active
construction site under the control of Triple R Paving. They will also have to approve this event
because they have the legal control over what happens on the site. I received an email today from the Event
Director notifying me they received permission from Triple R Paving. It looks like this is all going to come
together just in time.
Ms. Lynn-Patton stated the folks
from Audi contacted WCI figuring we owned the roadway. They wish to do a walk/run utilizing
Mr. Mendelson
asked will they have extra police units?
Ms. Lynn-Patton responded yes. Units from
Mr. Mendolia
asked will the construction equipment be moved to the side of the road?
Ms. Lynn-Patton responded I do not
believe we have any construction equipment out there.
Mr. Mendolia
stated any debris should be cleared.
Ms. Lynn-Patton stated Mr. Lyles
raised the concern of someone tripping over a soda can.
Mr. Lyles stated in this instance,
the District is being made as an additional insurer under the organization’s
insurance policy. We will have a
certificate saying we have the same insurance they do and I am sure Triple R
Paving will insist the same. The
right-of-way is ours and we have tired to help the city but we cannot give them
permission as the roadway is under Triple R Paving’s control. Assuming everything goes as planned and you
authorize this today, we will ensure we are released from any liability and
covered by any insurance they have for the event.
Ms. Lynn-Patton stated there will be
an additional form for the runners indemnifying NSID.
Mr. Mendolia
stated as long as all of the forms are filled out and we have the insurance
coverage, I see no problem approving this request.
On MOTION by Mr. Mendolia
seconded by Mr. Mendelson with all in favor the
request for the use of
FIFTEENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Discussion of Structural
Observation Reports
A. Pump Station #1, Pump Station #2 and
Mr. Petty stated structural
observation reports were prepared by CH2M-Hill to assess the structure
integrity of Pump Stations 1 & 2 and the South Amil
Gate.
Mr. McKune
stated there was a horizontal crack on pump station #1, which was not hurricane
related. Pump Station #2 had a
deteriorated roof, which was not hurricane related as the deterioration may
have been ongoing for some time. There
were some roll-up door cover connections, which were sheared off during the
hurricane and some leakage to the roof in a double tee joint, which
deteriorated due to age. The existing
fence posts were sheared from their supports during the storm and there appears
to be missing anchor bolts and a corroded base plat, which are mainly
maintenance items. In regards to the
South Amil Gate, we are still waiting for someone
from the gate manufacturer to arrive on-site.
This type of problem is normally based upon a change in the seating of
the gate, which can be misaligned by wind or water surf. There is a good chance this was related to
the hurricane.
Mr. Mendolia
asked are we insured by the hurricane damages?
Mr. McKune
responded your normal insurance policy applies.
Mr. Petty stated your current
insurance policy only covers the machinery at our facilities and would not
cover these items since this was an act of god.
A hurricane is considered an act of god and therefore uninsurable. In many instances, the insurance companies
are exempt. However, you can submit
claims to FEMA to cover damages at your facilities. I believe Mr. Hyche
already started this process. If there
is an earthquake, you will not receive money from most insurance carriers
unless you have a specific earthquake policy.
Mr. Mendolia
stated we should have hurricane insurance.
Mr. Petty stated we are covered for
most items but you had damage to fencing which is not covered. I will check again but the policies I have
reviewed so far do not cover this type of damage.
Mr. Lyles stated I have not reviewed
any of the insurance policies and will work with the manager. You are looking for a windstorm rider.
Mr. Petty stated we are covered for
our buildings. The residents had to pay
for removal of their trees but if one fell on your house, the insurance company
pays. However, if a fence falls down, we
do not have coverage because we did not insure the fence. We insured the building and the equipment
inside.
B. Clubhouse and Tennis Courts 1, 2, 3, 4,
5 & 6
Ms. Early stated we received a
request from clubhouse staff to inspect the clubhouse and tennis courts. I had a structural engineer from our
Mr. Mendolia
stated WCI controls the clubhouse. Can
they do anything about the damage to the clubhouse?
Ms. Lynn-Patton responded NSID owns
the clubhouse but WCI does the management via the homeowners. My company has not had any involvement with
the clubhouse.
Mr. Petty stated all assets of the
District are included in a Boiler and Machinery Policy we have with the Florida
League of Cities. The roof and frame
damage will be covered under this policy.
This property will have to be designated as a recreational facility in
order to get coverage for the fencing.
Mr. Mendolia
stated the fencing should be covered.
Mr. Petty stated I will check on
it. The anchor bolts holding the support
bases onto the canopies should also be covered.
We may get FEMA coverage for facility damage.
Mr. Mendelson
asked what is the timeframe for receiving reimbursement from FEMA?
Mr. Petty responded FEMA has given
money to the State of
In regards to the buildings, we will
apply for reimbursement but will do it differently than in the past. In the past, you made your argument up front
and if you made your point, you received the money. Now they are not arguing with you. We do not want to put you in a position where
you have to go through an audit to get the money back three or four years later
when our memory is not so good and our pictures are faded. Therefore, we will be conservative in our application
with FEMA and be well covered in our documentation so if they come back and do
an audit in three to five years, we will have enough proof to substantiate our
claim.
Mr. Mendolia
asked do we need to take any action?
Mr. Petty responded this is strictly
for the Board’s information. Staff just
wanted to let you know what the evaluation was at those facilities after the
storm.
SIXTEENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Staff Reports
A. Attorney
Mr. Lyles stated I distributed to
the manager and members of the Board a set of proposal documents advising
interested contractors to provide recreational management services for the
Heron Bay Commons facility. There is a
timeline on page two whereby we will have a conference with interest proposals,
take written questions and have a final presentation by interested parties who
will have to submit their qualifications and cover certain elements. There may be a few changes made by
staff. We also wanted to give the Board
members any input in terms of the qualifications, obtaining proposals and
ultimately evaluating and approving the management company for the Heron Bay
Commons facility.
Mr. Mendolia
asked are we jumping ahead of ourselves?
We have to get WCI out who is currently running the facility.
Mr. Lyles responded before we sign
the contract for someone new to come in, we need to have WCI’s
management company continue to run the facility while we obtain these proposals
and staff reviews them. When you are
ready to make a decision and hire a new contractor, we will give WCI notice
under the contract for termination. We
do not want to terminate the present management company and have no one
managing it while we go through this process.
They basically overlap each other.
Mr. Mendolia
stated I would ask WCI to make arrangements with their management company to
have them removed from the job in two months.
By that time we should have a new company.
Mr. Lyles stated while we have not
set a date for the new company to step in, with Severn Trent’s assistance, we
have spoken to the head of the division who handles this type of activity who agreed
to terminate the contract when we go through this process. They already agreed to step aside. However, we do not have this in writing.
Mr. Mendelson
asked what is the timeframe?
Mr. Lyles responded we should have
the RFQ in place by the beginning of January.
Mr. Petty stated the timeframe can
be whatever you want it to be. The
District always has the option of doing the management in-house.
Mr. Mendolia
stated I would like to have something in writing from WCI.
Mr. Lyles stated we will pursue this
matter with WCI. The District hired the
HOA and gave them authority to run the Heron Bay Commons facility. They have the contract with WCI and this is
why it has to be voluntary on WCI’s part. WCI indicated they will voluntarily step
aside as we will go through this process and have a smooth transition for the
Board and the residents who live in
Mr. Mendelson
asked will the homeowners have a say as to who will be operating this facility?
Mr. Lyles responded it will be your
call. We will list this item on the
agenda and there will be a vote by the Board.
You can take input from the residents either before or at the meeting.
Mr. Mendelson
stated it would be a good idea to have their input.
Mr. Mendolia
stated either way, the residents will be involved. I would like to have an agreement from WCI
stating they will be leaving.
Mr. Lyles stated in working with
management staff, I do not know what their timeframe is. There are different thoughts on how quickly
we are going to be able to accomplish this.
Step one was to get this proposal in front of you and have you approve
it today in substantially this form so we can publish it and start getting
proposals. There has been some
reluctance to put something in writing because staff is not sure when they can
get someone in there or whether they want to bring it in-house through Severn
Trent.
Mr. Mendolia
stated it should stay the way it is but there should be a timeframe. WCI should know when they are leaving.
Mr. Petty stated we will take
direction from the Board in regards to the timeframe. I suggest you consider the second week in
March. We can do an RFQ right now and
get responses back so you can consider them next month. We will not ask you to make a decision on
this matter until we have something more concrete in front of you such as a
contract with a company who can be available in two weeks and then we will firm
up this date.
Mr. Lyles stated this Board meets on
Mr. Petty responded this is the date
you want to set as the termination date.
The Board will discuss this matter at the January meeting, consider the
contractors and sign the deal in February.
Alternatively, the contractor can be on site for a couple of weeks and
get the facilities transferred. By the
second week in March, you should be covered as long as we stay on track. If something goes wrong, you can always
extend the date. You need some overlaps
because WCI has been there for a long time.
Whomever you choose as the new company, you have to give them time to
work with WCI and cajole them into telling them how certain things are run. I do not think WCI is going to walk away and
say to the residents they are on their own.
They have been cooperative when we asked them for things and I think we
are going to be okay. The Board seems to
be intent on setting a date and sticking with the schedule. Staff’s task will be to meet this schedule
and I think we can and will. However, in
order to do this, we need to give notice to WCI that their contract will be
terminated on
On MOTION by Mr. Mendolia
seconded by Mr. Mendelson with all in favor staff was
authorized to publish the request for proposals from interested contractors to
provide recreational management services for the Heron Bay Commons facility and
notify WCI of the termination of their management contract on
Mr. Lyles asked how did item six get
on the agenda? To my knowledge these
documents were previously approved and were the subject of a resolution. In an abundance of caution, if we are not
sure why this item was placed on the agenda, we should have both Board members ratify
the approval of the Preliminary Limited Offering Memorandum and Offering
Memorandum for the three bond issues we are closing on today, which they
received copies of.
On MOTION by Mr. Mendolia
seconded by Mr. Mendelson with all in favor the
Preliminary Limited Offering Memorandum dated December 5, 2005 for the Special
Assessment Bonds for the Parkland Golf and Country Club Assessment Area A and
Limited and Offering Memorandum for the Series 2005 Water Management Refunding
Bonds and Water Management Bonds were ratified.
B. Engineer
There being no report, the next item
followed.
C. Manager
Mr. Petty stated as you know, trees
were knocked down during the hurricane, which pulled up some water lines. As a result, some residents received water
bills for hundreds of dollars. We have
been asked by Mr. Dan Daly in the Utility Billing Department to adopt a one
time policy charging anyone having water usage over the average caused by trees
breaking water lines, which can be verified by staff, their average bill and
not the actual usage. CSID approved a
similar policy.
On MOTION by Mr. Mendelson
seconded by Mr. Mendolia with all in favor a one-time
policy was enacted charging anyone having water usage over the average caused
by trees breaking water lines due to hurricane damage verified by staff their
average bill and not the actual usage.
Mr. Petty stated we have an
interconnect with the City of
I am here today because Mr. Pete
Witschen has some personal issues, which prevents him from being here
today. Mr. Witschen is still working on
some issues including the RFP and is trying to continue his work. However, complications in his personal life
are preventing him from giving the District the time and attention it deserves
and needs. Severn
I prepared feasibility and rate
studies and business plans for Districts such as Celebration and
Mr. Mendolia
stated I am impressed with you as you are very professional and recommend you
stay. Welcome aboard.
Mr. Petty stated I will do my best
and look forward to working with you in the future.
SEVENTEENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Supervisor’s Requests and Audience
Comments
A resident stated I represent the
homeowners of Parkland Isles and would like to voice some concerns. I have been on the phone countless times with
a number of people within this organization begging them to come out to take a
look at the damage incurred on the berm. You own the berm
around Parkland Isles.
Mr. Petty asked is this the berm against the conservation area?
The resident responded around the entire community. I came down here to try to get some people to react to our concerns and it was four to five weeks before anyone came out. Last week staff met with Valley Crest, who currently maintains the berm and they put together some detailed plans. The plans were dropped off at our clubhouse last Tuesday or Wednesday. I called Mr. Mel Entus yesterday who is trying to help us out, only to find out Mr. Rick Horn went to the clubhouse yesterday to pick up the plans. I am frustrated bec
