Attorney and staff to draft legislation pertaining to the possible

amending the Land Development Regulations (LDR's) to
regulate medical marijuana treatment center locations and

of Changes to Sand Stockpiling Requirement Guettler Brothers
Construction, LLC
(memorandum dated October 29, 2014)
195-207
Director of Public Works Chris Mora presented background
on the request of Guettler Brothers Construction, LLC
(Guettler) for the Board to eliminate the contract provision to
have 75% of the material stockpiled before the initial sand
placement for the Sector 3 Dune Repair Project.
County Coastal Engineer James Gray explained that Guettler
has a significant amount of upland sand stockpiled, but less
than the 75% required in the contract agreement; however,
they want to begin the dune repair project on November 5,
2014. He explained the Board's options with regards to
upholding/eliminating the stockpile provision, or pre -
purchasing processed sand, and recommended that the Board
eliminate the 75% stockpile provision and authorize the
Chairman to sign any necessary documents to effectuate
Change Order No. 1 to the Sector 3 Dune Repair Project
Contract Agreement, so that staff can issue a notice -to -proceed
to Guettler.
Commissioner Zorc stated that the process of having the mines
stockpile the sand has helped drive project costs down, and
spoke in support of Guettler's request.
Ben Guettler, in response to Chairman O'Bryan's inquiry,
stated that the sand mining production rates have been slowed
by the excessive rain. He estimated that the Project would be

abstained from voting.
(Clerk's Note: Form 8B Memorandum of Voting Conflict is
attached to these minutes as Addendum A).
Chairman O'Bryan declared that he did not want to be told
later that the project has been delayed due to a lack of sand.

confirmation that there would be no legal ramifications from
the County amending this contract.

Utilities Services
1. Extension & Amendment of — Indian River County Continuing
Contract Agreement for Professional Services
(memorandum dated October 13, 2014)
208-262
Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke recalled the Board's
approval of continuing contract agreements with sixteen firms
(fourteen approved November 15, 2011, and two approved
December 6, 2011), to provide professional services for various
projects in the County. He stated that the Board could
approve: (1) the extension and amendment of the Continuing
Contract Agreement for Professional Services with the sixteen
firms (listed on pages 208 and 209 of the agenda packet); or (2)
direct staff to prepare a one-year extension agreement with the
current contractors, and solicit a Request for Qualifications
(RFQ) for the professional services. Director Burke
recommended that the Board approve the contracts with the
sixteen existing firms.
Commissioner Zorc asserted that opening the contracts to new
contractors would create competition and save the County
money.
Board of County Commission Meeting Page 11
November 4, 2014
13.
A lengthy discussion followed as the Board questioned staff
about the RFQ process/expense; the feasibility of opening the
professional services contracts to new vendors; and the
Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA).
Wesley Mills, P.E., Mills, and Jason Short, P.E., Short and
Associates, spoke about their new business and said they would
welcome the chance to work with the County.
Steve Moler, Masteller & Moler, Inc., described the cost
burden of compiling the RFQ's and said he supported the
renewal of the continuing contract agreements.
Commissioner Solari stated that since the burden for
processing new RFQ's is so burdensome to staff/contractors, he
would support staff's recommendation.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari, SECONDED
by Commissioner Flescher, to authorize the Chairman to
execute the Agreements, renewing the existing contracts for
three (3) years with a single end date of November 16, 2017, for
the following sixteen (16) firms: Atkins North America, Inc.;
Bridge Design Associates, Inc.; Brown & Caldwell; Carollo
Engineers, Inc.; Carter Associates, Inc.; CDM Smith; Ecotech
Consultants, Inc.; Geosyntec Consultants; Kimley-Horn &
Associates, Inc.; Knight, McGuire & Associates, Inc.; Masteller
& Moler, Inc.; MBV Engineering, Inc.; Neel -Schafer, Inc.; SCS
Engineers; Schulke, Bittle & Stoddard, LLC; and W.F.
McCain & Associates, Inc.
Vice Chairman Davis voiced his opposition to staff's
recommendation. He acknowledged the cost burden, but
preferred to give any interested contractors the opportunity to
submit an RFQ for the professional services.
Bob Johnson suggested that the Board extend the current
contracts for one year, and then solicit an RFQ.
Patrick Walther, Carter Associates, Inc., stated that his firm
has received no work under this particular contract, and it
would cost almost $10,000 to resubmit an RFQ.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and by a 3-2 vote
(Commissioners Davis and Zorc opposed), the Motion carried.
