onald W. Mcintosh Associates, Inc. for the Windsor
Background Summary:
The Windsor Landings development was constructed in accordance with City Code that requires all new
developments built after 1994 to have reuse systems included in the infrastructure construction. The Windsor
Landings residential subdivision was constructed with the reuse infrastructure included but without a source of
supply of water for irrigation usage.
The reuse extension project generally includes installing approximately 2,000 linear feet of 12 and 8 inch reuse
main from the Maguire and Moore Road intersection south to Sage Crest Drive, the entrance to the Windsor
Landings development. The reuse main will connect to the reuse system in Maguire Road and connect to the
Windsor Landings development at Thornbrooke Road and Sage Crest Drive. The pipeline will also provide reuse
water to the Meadow Ridge PUD and the proposed town home project on the southwest corner of Maguire Road
and Roberson Road.
This project was identified in the Five Year CIP Program but in FY 06/07 for design and FY 07/08 for construction.
Staff submitted a grant funding application to the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) under the
Alternative Water Supply Construction Cost Share Program. The SFWMD funded the project the first year of their
program in the amount of $50,000 and the project needs to be completed by August of 2006. The City
Commission accepted the grant at the November 15, 2005 Commission meeting.
The Meadow Ridge PUD is located along the northern portion of the reuse main route and this portion of the reuse
main is being designed and constructed by the developer. Staff asked the developers Meadow Ridge PUD design
engineer, Donald W. Mcintosh Associates, Inc. (DWMA) for a proposal to design the southern portion of the
proposed reuse main. The attached proposal is DWMA, Inc. estimate of design costs to design the southern
portion of the reuse main. DWMA, Inc. proposal cost is a not to exceed fee of $16,550.
Issue:
The Windsor Landings reuse main extension was awarded a grant by the South Florida Water Management
District. The project needs to be designed and Donald W. Mcintosh Associates, Inc., design engineer for the
Meadow Ridge PUD is willing to assist the City with the design.
Recommendations
Staff recommends that the City Commission approve the employment of Donald W. Mcintosh Associates, Inc. to
perform design services for the Reuse Main Extension to Windsor Landings Project in the amount of $16,550.00,
and authorize staff to execute the purchase order and proceed with the project.
Attachments:
Donald W. Mcintosh Associates, Inc. proposal dated February 7,2006 (with modification)
Financial Impact:
The award of this design services will require the Public Utilities Department to move the project forward in the
Five Year CIP Program and obtain City Commission approval at mid-year budget adjustment to allocate the funds.
Staff has prepared the budget adjustment documentation for this project, based upon the SFWMD grant award
and this proposal for design services. The design services will be covered from the 2003 Bond Issue.

RE:
Design Services for the Reuse Main Extension to Windsor Landings
ISSUE
The Windsor Landings reuse main extension was awarded a grant by the South Florida Water Management
District. The project needs to be designed and Donald W. Mcintosh Associates, Inc., design engineer for the
Meadow Ridge PUD is willing to assist the City with the design.
BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION
The Windsor Landings development was constructed in accordance with City Code that requires all new
developments built after 1994 to have reuse systems included in the infrastructure construction. The Windsor
Landings residential subdivision was constructed with the reuse infrastructure included but without a source of
supply of water for irrigation usage. The homes were either connected to the potable water supply from Orange
County Utilities or were connected to the reuse system when it was activated with potable water through a
master jumper. The development was constructed starting in 2000 with the infrastructure for phase 1. The
development is built out at this time.
The new reuse project generally includes installing approximately 2,000 linear feet of 12 and 8 inch reuse main
from the Maguire and Moore Road intersection south to Sage Crest Drive, the entrance to the Windsor
Landings development. The reuse main will connect to the reuse system in Maguire Road and connect to the
Windsor Landings development at Thornbrooke Road and Sage Crest Drive. The pipeline will also provide
reuse water to the Meadow Ridge PUD and the proposed town home project on the southwest corner of
Maguire Road and Roberson Road.
This project was identified in the Five Year CIP Program but in FY 06/07 for design and FY 07/08 for
construction. Staff submitted a grant funding application to the South Florida Water Management District
(SFWMD) under the Alternative Water Supply Construction Cost Share Program. The intent was to become
known by the SFWMD for future considerations, since it is not widely known that this portion of Ocoee is
actually in the SFWMD as opposed to the St. Johns River Water Management District. The SFWMD funded
the project the first year of the program; they worked under the principle of a reduced amount of funding for
many projects as opposed to significant funding for a few projects. The amount of the grant from the SFWMD
is $50,000 and the project needs to be completed by August of 2006. The City Commission accepted the grant
at the November 15, 2005 Commission meeting.
1
The project was originally budgeted as a stand alone project to be designed in total by an engineer,
competitively bid for construction, and constructed by one contractor. The project was originally budgeted at
$340,000. If the Meadow Ridge PUD's schedule had not been conducive to meeting the SFWMD's
requirements, the City would have been to proceed on its own. With a portion of the project being constructed
by the Meadow Ridge PUD developer, this will help reduce costs. The Meadow Ridge PUD project is projected
to go to construction in April of this year provided that the City Commission approve the project at this
Commission meeting.
The Meadow Ridge PUD is located along the northern portion of the reuse main route and this portion of the
reuse main is being designed and constructed by the developer. Staff asked the developers Meadow Ridge
PUD design engineer, Donald W. Mcintosh Associates, Inc. (DWMA) for a proposal to design the southern
portion of the proposed reuse main. The attached proposal is DWMA, Inc. estimate of design costs to design
the southern portion of the reuse main. DWMA, Inc. proposal cost is a not to exceed fee of $16,550. The
design services not grant eligible; therefore in reducing the actual costs versus the estimated costs as part of
planning is helpful in moving this project forward in time.
Staff's intent is to look at change ordering the southern portion into of the reuse project into the Meadow Ridge
PUD if possible, if not the City will competitively bid that portion of the project. This will help with project
scheduling and meeting the SFWMD timeframe of being operational by the end of August 2006 to meet their
program requirements.

responsibility for delays that may be encountered due
to failure on the part of the CLIENT to address
concurrency and consistency issues prior to initiation of
Services proposed herein.
DWMA is not responsible for changes to the approved
plans that may alter the concurrency vesting status or
for noncompliance on the part of the property owner
with regard to the performance terms and conditions
established in the vesting certificate.
DWMA will not be responsible for any circumstances,
acts, errors, omissions or events, of any type, beyond
its control including, without limitation, construction
costs, the acts or failures to act of any govemmental or
judicial agency, or the existence of hazardous waste of
any type associated with the Project. No Services
associated with hazardous waste of any type are
included in any way in this Agreement.
If construction services or observation of construction
are included herein, the Services included by DWMA
will be to conduct periodic visits and observations to
determine that the Work generally conforms or will
conform to the applicable contract documents in
relation to DWMA's engineering Services.
DWMA's Service shall not include determining,

engineering, geotechnical engineering and testing,
environmental assessment, landscape and irrigation
design, and non-civil utility engineering (e.g., power,
gas, telephone, cable television, site lighting), services
shall be retained separately by the CLIENT.
DWMA may be mandated by regulatory authorities to
incorporate findings, requirements and details of design
in their construction plans that are prepared by
professional geotechnical engineers and not by
DWMA. In doing so, DWMA assumes no
responsibility or liability for the design, construction or
operation of geotechnical engineering components
which may include, but not be limited to, underdrains,
ground stabilizers, backfills, embankments, etc.
CLIENT must also recognize that some of these
systems (i.e., underdrains, etc.) usually require
extensive field supervision during construction and
certification after construction. These systems are
subject to damage by other activities during or after
infrastructure construction such as other utility
installations (power, telephone, cable, gas, etc.).
DWMA assumes no liability for damages to any design
element caused by the improper design, construction,
operation or maintenance of improvements designed by
others.
No Services are included in this Agreement other than
those specifically listed herein.
No application or submittal for arbor or tree removal
permits is included unless specifically listed in Basic
Services.
Permits and services related to wetlands, threatened or
endangered species, or archaeological related issues,
are not included other than any specifically listed in
Basic Services.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
Map revisions or amendments which may be required
by regulatory agencies or lenders are not included
unless specifically listed in Basic Services.
If locating underground utilities is expressly included
in the Services, we will endeavor to identify those
companies/services in the subject area that may identify
such utilities. DWMA cannot and does not guarantee
or warranty that unidentified utilities will not be
encountered.
Services do not include the preparation of Maintenance
of Traffic (M.O.T.) plans for on site or offsite
construction.
