B. COUNTY ATTORNEY
1. St. Lucie County Water & Sewer District Water, Wastewater and Reclaimed Water
Operations - Review of Responses to Request for Proposals; Review of CDM Smith Study of
Operating the District's System with District Personnel
District staff recommended the Board authorize staff to proceed with District personnel
operating the District system effective March 21, 2021, the termination date of the Inframark
contract. This would involve the hiring of 19 FTE's by the District. Staff also recommended
that the Board reject the five (5) proposals submitted in response to the RFP.
Dan McIntyre, County Attorney presented this item to the Board. On March 23, 2007, the
Board of County Commissioners, acting as the Board of the St. Lucie County Water and Sewer
District ("District") entered into an agreement through March 31, 2012 with Severn Trent
Environmental Services, Inc. (now known as "Inframark") to provide operation and
maintenance services for the District's water, wastewater, and reclaimed water facilities. The
County is smaller than other counties and staff determined over the years that it was
prudent to operate the system thru contract. Staff decided it was time to look at the system
to see if there was a better way to do it. Without cause, the contract with the existing
contractor was terminated. Staff ventured out for proposals and asked CDM to evaluate
whether operating the District's system with District personnel in lien of a contract operator

replace one of the Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) within our emergency power system
and authorization for the Chair to sign documents as approved by the County Attorney.
Frank Amandro, Public Safety Assistant Director presented this item to the Board. The Public
Safety Department requested approval to accept the proposal from Ring Power to replace
one of the Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) within the emergency power system. The ATS
automatically switches the 911 Communications Center from commercial power to
generator power in the event of power failure i.e., loss of commercial power during a storm.
This is a critical component to the operation of the 911 Communications Center, as we are a
24/7/365-day year operation tasked with ensuring the system and well-being of the citizens
and first responders. Since the ATS experienced a catastrophic failure, the County relied on
emergency generator power after hours and on the weekends to ensure constant power to
the 911 Communications Center.
A motion was made to approve staff recommendation and it passed unanimously.
