MINUTES
The meeting of the Professional Services Evaluation Committee was called
to order a[ 2:00 PH on Thursday, September 24, 1987 in the City Manag-
er's office, City Hall, Atlantic Beach, Florida.
Present were Peter Johnson and Richard Fellows. Claude Mullis was
absent.
The City Manager reported to [he committee that he had asked [he Fire
Chief and Police Chief to attend but [hat Police Chief Thompson's wife
had just been taken [o the hospital expecting [he imminent birth of
[heir third child and he had communicated vi[b the Ci[y Manager by
telephone on behalf o£ himself and the Fire Chief. City Manager Fellows
reported only one bid had been received, that from Ogilvie Electronics,
Inc. in the amount of $7,421.00. Committee members discussed [he lone
bid and [he Ci[y Manager advised invitations [o bid had been submitted
[o five or six firms and, with [he exception of one reply from Baker
Electronics and Communication of Lake Ci[y and a telephone contact with
one of the ocher bidders, no interest had been expressed in the proj ec[.
Baker Electronics of Lake Ci[y indicated [hey thought the spec if ica[ions
were too restrictive in that i[ required [he bidder to expose all
elements of [heir expense, including their profit, and further required
the bidder [o contact Ogil iv ie Electronics [o determine methods for
transfer which would neither nullify nor void any warranties or service
contracts, with which [hey did no[ agree. One contact vas made by
telephone by [he Purchasing Agent who vas told by the party [hey did not
bid because there vas not really enough money in it to make i[ worth
while.
After considering all of [he discussion and options, it is the
recommendation of the Professional Services Evaluation Committee [ha[
Che proposal be awarded to Ogilvie Electronics of 1712 Ogilvie Park
Lane, Jacksonville, Florida, in [he amount of $7,421.00.

56G Project No. 8505-OS-O1
September 23, 1987.. Page 2
Ne have discussed the possibility of raj etting all bids with FDER as to how
it would affect the gran[ offer. Mr. Steve Fellerman, grants coordinator for
FDER, indicated that the City always has the option to reject bids for good
cause, and excessive cost Ls the most common cause for rejection. The City
has 12 months to enter into a construction contract before penalties are
invoked by EPA Co reduce the eligibility of the construction costs. The City
could therefore, delay rebidding until the early part of 1988 and still meet
the time deadline imposed by EPA for construction.
The City has recently submitted for FD ER review an additional sewer rehabil-
ication project to repair the defects found in Section 'B", and the remainder
of Section 'A'. FDER indicates the earliest the nev gran[ offer can 6e
issued is in the spring of 1988. Combining the nev grant project with the
current grant proj eat may cause a problem in timing for the subject project
to meet the EPA time limits for construction. There is the outside possibility
of coordinating all factors to allow a combination of the two grant projects,
but the likelihood at this time seems slim.
There may also a problem Ln delaying a Major Sewer Rehabilitation project, such
as the subject project, since the nature of the program is to repair defective
sewers [hat are stzuc rurally deficient, with large cracks [hat could cause
collapse and backups of the sewer system. The very delay itself may indicate
to EPA that the cracks and breaks found rare not as serious as depicted in the
reports submitted, which justified the grant offer to repair the defects.
Since [his is a new program in EPA and FDER, this question may well pose a
problem for continuing eligibility for the proj ec[.
It appears that a solution to help the City obtain more favorable bids for the
subject project would be [o add the work as authorized for Sanitary Manhole
Reconstruction for nine (9) manholes in the Selves Marina Drive area Ln the
Section "B" sever system. This would add approximately $60,000 to the
construction costs, for a total cons [ruction estimate of approximately
$160,000. Nhile the intent of the maMole reconstruction proj act is to
replace some badly deteriorated manholes, which pose a potential danger of
collapse, a slight delay of one or two months in advertising the manhole
project does not appear to greatly increase the potential of manhole collapse.
Therefore, it is recommended that [he current EPA funded project for Major
Sever Rehabilitation in Section "A' be increased in scope to include [he
project for Sanitary Manhole Reconstruction in Section "B' as an Additive
Alternate Bid Item, which can be selected by the Ci[y based on cost. The
project documents would require revision, and subsequent approval from FDER
prior to readvertisement.

Atlantic Beach, Florida
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to tha direction of the City of Atlantic Beach, No (2) proposal and
bid forms were received on September 14, 1987, at 5:00 p.m., and opened in
scheduled session of the City Comission at 7:15 p.m.,local time, for the
subject project. All bids have been checked, verified and evaluated for
conformance with the criteria set forth in the bidding documents and the
intent of the plans and specifications. We have attached ten (10) copies of
our certified tabulation of the bids for your use.
After mutual consideration of all bids by our firm and the Bid Committee, we
respectfully recommend that all bids be rejected due to excessive cost to the
City over the stated budget as described in the Crant Offer by EPA. The
budget for construction vas $95,548. The loves[ bid received vas for $170,555.
If this bid vas accepted, the City could file for a Crant Amendment to increase
the federal share of the lowest bid total. the City would have to fund 458
of the difference, or $33,753. Also, [he Grant amendment to increase the
federal share is not always a certainty.
The reason for the lack of bids vas examined. We found that the contractors
had an extremely busy period of bidding on many projects, especially federal
government projects for the Navy. Also, several contractors indicated the
project vas fairly small in scope, and the added requirements of EPA led the
contractors [o put their es tlmating energies toward ocher projects. It appears
the time period for [his project vas not favorable to receive more responsive
bidding.

MINUTES
The committee appointed to review [he bids on Section "A" Major Sever
Rehabil i[at ion met on Thursday, September l7, 1987, by conference call
ce le phone a[ I0: 3I1 AM.
Detailed discussion took place rr lative to why the City had no[ received
more bids [ban it iiad on [he pro jet[. Committee member Jacques pointed
out that in addition to [he six or seven mailed notices the Ci[y sent
out, Smi Ui anJ f.illcspie Engineers mailed out over forty notices of Use
project anA faro is hcd seven plan shops with no[if ita[ion of [he proj etc.
Jacques pointed nut bids were opened for a similar project in a
pan-handle city the prevf ous night, and while [he size of [he contract
vas larger, only one hid vas submitted, which fitted pretty cell vi q~
the situation ~~h icb existed here in A[lant is Beach.
Further discussion ensued with Commissioner Cook asking what the alter-
natives might be [o the si[uat ion. Coa®ittee member Jacques pointed out
[he City could reject all bids and readvertise and combine the proj et[
with the project recently approved for the repair and repl ac amen[ of
nine manl~o les along Selva Harina Urive. As another alternative, the
project could be held over until the Sec tfon "B" sever cleaning proj ec[
vas completed and [lien combine the Section "A" and Section "B" pro]ec[s
together, but he pointed out this would probably run into February or
March of noxt year and could be quite a way off. The City Manager
expressed some concern over the status of the nine manholes on Se lva
Harina Urive and reminded the committee [ha[ this project had been
authorized recently because of the severe deterioration of these man-
holes and the expectation that a cave-in could occur.
Further discussion ensued foil owing which it vas [he consensus of [he
committee [hat a recommendation he forward ed Co the City Co~mission ChaC
all bids be rejected, that the proj ec[ be readvertised and combined with
the proj ec[ for the replacement of nine manholes on Selva Harina Drive
and both projects be advertised as expeditiously as possible.
There being no further dl scuss ion, the meeting vas adjourned at 10:50

o Enclosed is a copy of a letter from Bob Bates relative to proposed
Change Order No. 5. The proposal is to add a chlorine contact chamber
[e the coot race in an amount of $21,211.00 and provide inf luenc floe
metering a[ an additional cos[ of $18,183.00. According [o the engi-
neer, the more stringent sampling regulations of the local DER and EPA
offices contribute to the proposal to add a chlorine chamber in spite of
the fact the present manner of sampling the eff luenc vas previously
approved by the State DER Sn Tallahassee. In view of the questions
concerning this proposed Change Order, I have asked Hr. Bates to be at
[he meeting en Monday night so [hat he can explain i[ to the satisfac-
tion of [he Ci[y Commission.
o A[ the last meeting, ve informed you ve were seeking bids for some
partial stabilization of some of the major streets in Section N and
these bids will be received on Monday night. There is a good Chance [he
cos[ of the work will be quite expensive, but once [he material is in
place, ve will have a fairly yell stabilized street vhlch will respond
to a reasonable maintenance schedule instead of just pushing sand around
the way ve are currently doing. Another feature is [he material which
is put into the streets can be utilized when the screecs are paved and
will not have to be replacai under the Special Assessment Program. If
the Commission chinks this is a good move ve would like to have authori-
ty to award the bid and get the work under way immediately. However, if
the Commission feels a committee evalua[1on would be more appropriate,
ve could do [hat and reper[ back a[ the meeting of October 12.
o In addition to Robert Bales being on the agenda, Nilson Merrihev
will be appearing to thank the Commission for the use of the Dial-A-Ride
spate and will be providing the City Commissioners with copies of [he
Beaches Council on Aging's financial report. Ne had requested for our

information. Ne are continuing negotiat log with OSal-A-Ride to relocate

Further discussion ensued and Truster Ilogans indicated he bad polled a
number of of the public works emp lovices who had, for Lie most part,
agreed [hey would he willing [n have one percent deducted from [heir
salaries in order to increase their pension benefits.
Discussion ensued relative to [he pos+ible implement scion u( a
cos[-of-living benefit for current retirees, and during discussion it
vas determined that should increases in pension benefiCS for general
employees be increased from 2% to 2.2 iS!, CLe increase would he 12!.% and
[his increased benefit, if passed along [u the retirees, would cost the
pension fund approximately $6,250.00 per year. (Comput n[iun of the
exact figures on [},e following day by Finance Direc mr Royal indicated
[he amount would total out to $h,h 39. 72 per year).
The Chairman asked if [here were nny comments from the Cloor and somt•
discussion took place regarding the premium taxes which an current lv
used [o fund pension benefits for policemen and firemen. City A[[ornev
Claude Mullis who was in attendance, indicated in order for tl:e premium
[axes [o be utilized, [he CI[y of Atlantic Beacb vas required to pass an
Ordinance levying and assessing N:e tax and the state merely collec[t•d
these monies and [hen provided them [n the Cities so [hat in effect, the
premium [ax monies were city funds which the Cononission and the Pension
Board had the o Lion of using to fund tine pension system for Policemen
and Firemen or f~r~ish inq extra heneflts.
Some discussion ensued with one mcmher of the board inquiring Into L':e
justification or the reasoning behind providing higher pension henef its
for policemen and firemen as opposed [o general employees. It vas
understood because of [he jobs of [he policemen and firemen he ing
somewhat hazardous, that higher salaries would he paid as they are, but
[he question remained as [o why :hey were entitled [o additional pension
benefits mier and above those furnished genera: employees. Charles
Solarno, formerly of the Public Emplnceus Relations Conuniss inn, .poke
from the audience and indicated par[ of the reason for the additional
pension henef its was the fact that when policemen and firemen retire,
Chetr enjoyment of [he pension 6encfiLS is usually not as long as
employees who are no[ exposed [o the stresses and Im zards of law en-
forcement or fi refighting. Solarno went on to point nut Che premium
taxes used in Che pension fund, in his npin ion, were state funds, and
could could only be obtained by Die City by passing the required Ordi-
nance.

CDM Properties told [he Commission CDM could build 28 multi-family
unite on some of [heir property in [he North Seminole Beach area that

Also, in order to qualify under a PUD, seven acres would be needed,
and [hey had 1.93 acres. Mr.Dowl ing added Cha[ most of [he adjoining
property owners were £n favor of the proposed concept for 12 single
family homes. The streets would be private, no[ dedicated to the city.
Mayor Howell objected to reducing a PUD from 7 acres.
The suggestion vas made to create a special zoning classification

o In November of last year, Sam Paters presented to the City
Co®SSSion a proposed subdivision of six lots in Section H. The
proposal was forwarded to [he then Advisory Planning Board for action,
and at their meeting of December 18, they recommended approval of [he
aubdivislon, subject to [he owner writing into the covenants and
res[rictlona that he would maintain the drainage retention area. Nc
further action was taken on the plat while the owner completed his
paving, water and sewer improvements in a development just west of this.
tihile [he original approval vas for six lots, the owner has now decided
no[ to develop the three lots that face on Churcl~ Road because of
certain requirements of the City of Sacksonu113e relative to the
development of Church Road, which they are not ready to undertake at
this time. They, therefore, have amended the plat to request just the
subdivision of the three lots facing Stewart Street, and if the
Co®ission sees no problems with this, :hey may act on the plat and give
1t their stamp of approval.

C....
Public hearing on an Ordinance amending the Land Development
Code to rezone land owned by Thomas J. Bennett.
o In making taps for the sever system, the City is locked into a
charge of $500.00 for a sever tap for units with a 3/4" eater meter. In
some instances we have found chat residences using a 3/4" eater meter
require a sever cap on [he line which could 11e [en to twelve feel below
the surface of the ground. The most recent case involving [his resulted
in quotations of $5,000 and $7,000 from contractors to make [he tap.
Consequently, ve Chink the Ordinance on connection fees needs [o be
amended to provide [hat caps will be made for [he cost of materials,
plus the hourly rate of the men and equipment, but in no even[ would the
charges be less than $500.00. We are enclosing a proposed Ordinance to
accomplish this and ask for your consideration.
o The Mayor has asked me to remind all Ci[y Co®issioners that
immediately following [he Cicy Commission meeting Honday night ve vi 11
hold a short executive session in the conference room relative to a
report on labor negotiations on [he proposed contract with the Police
Union. Following this meeting, the City Commission will reassemble £n
[he Commission chambers for further discussions on the proposed City
budget.
o As you know, the City Clerk's o_'fice now charges $3.00 fora search
of the CS[y's lien records for persons involved in purchasing real
estate in Atlantic Beach. The Atlantic Beach Police Department has
reported similar efforts have to be expended ac the station in research-
ing and preparing for insurance agents and others accident reports,
record reports, and other information of this nature. We would like to
prepare for [he consideration of the Commission, an Ordinance which
would add a $3.00 charge for these services to the other list of user
charges now provided in the Ordinance. We are enclosing a proposed
Ordinance co accomplish this and ask for your consideration.
o '. he committee appointed [o review and evaluate [he profeasiooal
qualifications of engineers in connection with eater system improvements
on Beach Avenue and the Royal Palms subdivision and certain other
equipment and pump improvements in Water Plants 1 and 2 has me[ and a
copy of Che minutes £s enclosed. The City will nw need to allow the
committee to negotiate a fee if the Ci[y agrees with the priority
ranking of the firma. In this regard, one of the items called for in
the improvements is the replacement of the isolation and control valves,
air compressor system and reservoir control system a[ Water Plan[ No. 1.
The Connelly and Nicker system evaluation report provided to each of the
City Comissfoners listed this as the number one priority item, and we
have recently received from our Water and Sever Division people news
that one of these valves has now failed completely. It may be
necessary [o declare this an emergency and proceed with repairs but ve
will hold off on this until we talk further with the engineers.
enclosing copies of the minutes of the last meeting of the Board of
Trustees on August 26, relative to recommendations on cost of living
benefits for current retirees and also recommendations relative to
1¢creased pension benefits for police, fire, and general employees.
This will be an item for discussion on Monday night. Of course,
adoption of these recommendations will require the drawing of an
Ordinance and action on that can be decided after discussion of the
recommendations. The cost of living benefits for current rest tees will
cost an additional $6,639.72 per year. The cost for increasing pension
benefits for general employees will be funded by a 1Z contribution by
the employees and there should be no increase in cost [o the Ci[y for
that proposal. The proposed increase in benefits for policemen and
firemen will be funded by the li salary contribution poli<emen and
firemen are aanda[ed by [he Florida Legislature [o contribute [o the
system and partially by a contribution of between $6,000 and $8,000 from
the City. Please read [he minutes over and contact me if you have any
questions.
o L[ appears the hold up on the Section H Special Assessment Proj ec[
may be over. Mayor Novell and I mec with Don Buckman and Jerry Eckert
last week and I believe the Hayor vi 11 be reporting on Cha[ meeting at
our Commission meeting Monday night.
o The long term nature of the Special Assessment Pro}ecc leads me co
recommend to the City Commission some interim improvements to some of
the major thoroughfares in Section H with materials which would be
recoverable and reusable in the improvements contemplated in regards to
Che paving of streets. Specifically, ve are suggescing chat bids be
requested for [he stabilization of Wesc Sixth and Nest Ninth from
Mayport Road to Nain Street, and Hain Street from Nes[ Fourteenth [o
bleat Firs[ Street. We are Sn the process of putting together some
apeciflca[ions Sn this regard, and are just bringing this to the atten-
tion of [he City Co®ission so you can be thinking abouc ic. Ne hope to
have some bids for your consideration in time for the meeting of Septem-
ber 24. It is almost impossible with the current materials in Section H
to maintain any kind of a reliable stable road bed. People ate getting
stuck, care ere being damaged, and people's feelings and emotions are
beginning to flare. Ne anticipate the Cosa to make the improvements co
run somwhere between $20,000 and $50,000 and may be paid for out of the
torrent monies ve receive from our share of the Jacksonville levied gas
tax.
o Pour public hearings will be held on Monday nigh[. They are as
follws:
Public hearing on an application for a Use by Exception for a
home occupation for Craig Fairbairn at 761 Cavalla Road, using
his house for book-work and telephone in connection with
house-cleaning services.
Public hearing on an application for a Use by Ex<eption for a
used car lo[ at 880 Mayport Road applied for by Mr. Nilliam
