Explanation:
As per Section 163.3177(6)(c)3, Florida Statutes, local governments are required to update their Water Supply Work Plans and Comprehensive Plans within 18-months after the District’s Governing Board approves the Regional Water Supply Plan for that area.
The Regional Water Supply Plan for southeast Florida is also known as the Lower East Coast (LEC) Water Supply Plan, which was approved on September 12, 2013.
In May 2008, the City of Hollywood, amended its adopted Comprehensive Plan to add a new Water Supply Plan to the Potable Water Sub-Element and related amendments to modify objectives and/or policies in the Land Use Element, Conservation Element, Utilities Element, Intergovernmental Coordination Element and Capital Improvements Element for water supply planning.
The adopted Water Supply Plan characterizes water utilities serving the City’s Jurisdiction and presents development of traditional and alternative water supplies, bulk sale agreements, and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing and new development for a 20-year planning period while complying with regulatory requirements.
The Department of Public Utilities requested a proposal from Brown and Caldwell to provide professional engineering services to assist the Department of Public Utilities with the updates to the City’s 2008 Water Supply Work Plan, which includes characterization of the City of Hollywood’s service area, updating of population projections, development of water demand forecasts, evaluating adequacy of water supply sources, assessing of existing conservation and reuses efforts, documenting of capital improvements and water supply projects, identification of Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies, assisting with adoption of updated Water Supply Work Plan.
The City Commission selected Brown and Caldwell to provide consulting engineering services related to the Water and Wastewater Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) Program by Resolution R-2009-214 that was approved by the City Commission on July 15, 2009.
This Agreement has a provision for insurance and indemnification that meets the City's requirements and gives the City the right to terminate for convenience.
The Administration recommends that the City Commission authorize the appropriate City Officials to execute the attached Authorization to Proceed between Brown and Caldwell and the City of Hollywood, together with such nonmaterial changes as may be subsequently agreed to by the City Manager and approved as to form and legality by the City Attorney, on an as-needed basis and in an amount not to exceed $64,059.00.
Funding for the update was included in the Capital Improvement Program for FY 2012 that was approved by the City Commission via Resolution No. R-2011-284.
Funding is available in account number 42.4000.75695.536.003130.
The consultant will complete the proposed professional engineering services within a period of 210-calendar days from the receipt of the Authorization to Proceed.
