4. Approval of Oasis at Lake Bennett Apartments at Ocoee Town Center. (City
Attorney Cookson)
On June 16, 2015, the Ocoee City Commission approved the First Amendment to Development
Agreement (Amendment) for Ocoee Town Center. As a part of the Amendment, the Owner and the
City agreed to exchange similar tracts or parcels so that the City would acquire right-of-way for
Richmond Avenue, south of Maine Street (Tract F), and the Owner would acquire property on the
north boundary line that abuts Maine Street(Tract H). In the context of the engineering and design for
the area,the City Engineer determined that to finish Maine Street adjacent to the Oasis project,another
small tract would be needed from the Owner at the corner of Maine Street and Bluford Avenue (Tract
H). The Owner and City now wish to close on the transaction by exchanging the property identified
above.
5. Approval of Annual Signal Maintenance Contract Extension with Control
Specialists. (Public Works Director Krug)
The Commission approved utilizing Control Specialists for traffic signal maintenance at the September
15, 2009, meeting by piggy-backing on an existing City of Maitland Agreement. The agreement with
Control Specialists has provided proactive inspections and repairs for maintaining the City's traffic
signals. Maitland has extended their current contract one (1)year as allowed per the agreement. Public
Works is requesting Commission approval to extend our agreement with Control Specialists for the
additional one (1) year period per the piggy-back agreement. Control Specialists has maintained their
pricing throughout the agreement without a price increase.
Public Works meets monthly with the FDOT and local agencies from Orange, Osceola and Seminole
Counties to discuss signalization maintenance and operations. Public Works has determined from
discussions at the regional meetings that Control Specialists continues to provide the most cost
effective service option for Ocoee to proactively maintain our City's signal system. The Streets
Division budget incorporates up to $30,000.00 for monthly inspections and maintenance along with
$45,000.00 for unanticipated repairs and upgrades. Public Works recommends extending the
agreement with Control Specialists for one(1)additional year.
6. Approval of Resolution No. 2015-018 for the 3-Year Lease-Purchase Agreement

Pipe Project (Project). All work for the project shall be constructed in accordance with the drawings
and specifications prepared by the City of Ocoee Utilities Department. Bids include all items necessary
for the furnishing, delivering and installing of all materials, equipment, incidentals, and services
including all labor for the work. This project is located at the South Water Treatment Plant to eliminate
leaking raw water piping and to replace aging and defective piping and equipment. This project

8. Approval of Change Order No. 1 with Central Florida Environmental Corp.
(CFE) for the Consumer Court Lift Station #62 Project. (Utilities Director
Smith)
On June 16, 2015, the City Commission awarded a construction contract to Central Florida
Environmental Corp. (CFE) for the construction of the Consumer Court Lift Station #62 for
$297,629.28. Lift Station #62 is located at the terminus of the new State Road 50 sanitary sewer
collection system. Construction projects are bid using a best estimate of the unit quantities required for
the work; however, the amount and type of material usually varies from the estimate to adapt to field
conditions. As with most unit pricing contracts, change orders are required to address the differences
between bid quantities and in-the-field quantities. Several events caused for an increase to three(3)pay
items.The change order amount to include these adjustments is$33,584.80.
Change Order No. 1 includes three(3)areas of adjustment:
1 & 2) Upon excavation, it was discovered that much of the soil had a high percentage of clay;
therefore, it could not be reused as backfill for the project site. Additionally, as the project limits
constrict the amount of usable storage for backfill soil,excavated clean,reusable soil was stored offsite
and then transported back to the construction site. These events caused an increase to two (2) pay
items, Embankment(Clean Import Fill)and Unsuitable Material(Removal and Disposal).Net Increase
to Pay Item No. 5 — Embankment (Clean Import Fill) - $14,989.52. Net Increase to Pay Item No. 6 —
Unsuitable Material(Removal and Disposal)-$13,463.60.
3) Subsequent to the awarding of the project, modifications were made to the original plan design as
the City was unable to obtain a Temporary Construction Easement for the Griffin Center Phase I Plat,
just south of the project site. The modification required additional 15" PVC gravity sewer main to be
installed.Net Increase to Pay Item No. 17— 15"PVC Gravity Sewer Main-$5,131.68.
9. Approval of Wastewater Treatment Plant Bar Screen #2 Replacement Project.
(Utilities Director Smith)
The City of Ocoee's Wastewater Treatment Facility utilizes two fine screen filter devices at the front
of the plant to remove solid material from the incoming waste stream. In 1993,the plant was outfitted
with Kruger bar screens. Due to the aging screens, Bar Screen #2 was replaced with a Kruger device
and Bar Screen#1 was to be replaced in FY 2017. However, due to poor performance of both the new
and existing screens and the lack of support from Kruger, staff began evaluating other screening
devices. The Parkson Fine Screen was selected with an approximate cost of$290,000 for installation.
In October 2014, City bid the Bar Screen Replacement project, and FilterOne was the lowest
responsive bidder with an"equal at" a cost of$106,121. The"equal at" cost included their proprietary
fine screen filter, which is comparable to the Parkson brand. The second lowest responsive bidder
proposed using the Parkson Fine Screen at a cost of$291,000. FilterOne was determined to bid the
lowest cost and was the most responsive bidder with a savings of approximately $184,000. Due to the
imminent failure of the second screen and the cost savings achieved through the bid process, staff
negotiated with FilterOne at the time of the first filter installation to replace the second screen after a
successful operational phase of the first screen. FilterOne agreed to provide a second screen subject to
minor price adjustments due to increased material costs. The second screen is being offered at
$115,886.32,which is an increase of$9,765.32.
10. Approval of Notification of Emergency Wastewater Treatment Plant
Replacement SCADA Upgrade and Modifications to VT SCADA. (Utilities
Director Smith)
The wastewater treatment plant is equipped with computers and process control software that monitors
and controls the treatment process. This system is called a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) system. On July 7, 2015, the wastewater plant operations building experienced a lightning
strike,which severely damaged its SCADA computer. The older PC,running Windows XP, included a
version of Wonderware HMI SCADA software that was not upward compatible. Plant personnel were
able to find used parts to return the PC to rudimentary operation with limited functions and features.
The obsolete PC's continuous operation was tenuous and any further repairs unlikely. Staff met with
the City Manager, and it was agreed that the SCADA application need immediate replacement.
With the notion to centralize the department's SCADA operations, the Utilities Department selected
VT SCADA by Trihedral Engineering Limited,represented by Sanders Company, for the department's

future SCADA platform. The department was in the final stages of upgrading both water treatment
plants to VT SCADA, and was also in the process of upgrading the wastewater plant lift station as
well. The wastewater plant PC/PLC and software was under consideration for budgeting within the
next few years,but due to the status of the PC/compatibility with the SCADA software,the emergency
repair of the wastewater plant SCADA system was initiated. The work was to be integrated with the
implementation of the wastewater plant SCADA conversion, with the cost for the wastewater plant
conversion totaling$31,264.00 and is to be completed by Sanders.

11. Resolution 2015-019 Establishing a Time Frame for Existing Gated Subdivisions
to become compliant with Click To Enter Access Technology and Establishing a
Level of Funding Assistance for Existing Gated Subdivisions. (Police Chief Brown)
On July 21,2015,the City of Ocoee City Commission adopted amendments to Section 153-5.7,City of
Ocoee Code of Ordinances, requiring all gated communities and subdivisions to install and maintain a
uniform access system for emergency access to their respective gated communities. On the same date,
the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2015-010, establishing Click to Enter and the Knox Box
key access systems as the uniform access systems.
In discussions on July 21, 2015, the City Commission debated options for compliance deadlines and
options for funding assistance that the City might provide to existing gated communities. Because
compliance with the uniform access systems is deemed a serious public safety concern, the City
Commission established a 2015-2016 budget funding amount of$60,000.00 to assist existing gated
communities in becoming compliant with the new system technology.
Based on the 2015-2016 budget allocation for this purpose, the funding reimbursement amount for
each individual gate will be capped at an amount not to exceed $1,818.00 per entrance gate.
Reimbursement will be provided to subdivisions upon written request on forms described by City staff,
including submittal of the original receipt. Eligible reimbursable expenses are limited to the purchase
of the device, installation of the System, and any programming that may be required to establish the
System; only an authorized Click to Enter distributor or installer can complete the installation. All
system upgrades must be completed by July 1, 2016, and must be inspected by the City Fire Chief
prior to being deemed operational. All requests for reimbursement must be received by the City on or
before September 15,2016.
