Lakeshore Drive Ocoee, Florida 34761 SUBJECT: Request for Qualifications (RFQ) # 0502 Professional Engineering & Hydrological Services for City of Ocoee's Consumptive Use Permit Renewal with SJRWMD Dear Ms. Tolbert: Sarah M. Whitaker, P.G, in association with Thomas Zankert, P.G. of Geosphere Technologies, Inc., offers the City of Ocoee an extensive background in water resource permitting, including experience in a wide variety of water supply issues facing the City of Ocoee and the west Orange County region. In response to the Request for Qualifications # 0502 for professional services pertaining to Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) renewal and related continuing services, we are confident that this submittal offers the City of Ocoee the most qualified team to serve the interests of the city. The firm of Sarah M. Whitaker, P.G. successfully negotiated the most recent CUP issued to the City of Minneola and the City of Tavares. These CUP applications involved extensive water use audits of both potable and non-potable water supply demands, review of alternative resources, including reclaimed water supplies, groundwater modeling and wetland impact assessments. Our team has been involved with negotiations associated with the development of the proposed Taylor Creek Reservoir and its potential to mitigate demands on future groundwater withdrawals from the Floridan aquifer. Sarah M. Whitaker, P.G. also represented Lake County, the City of Eustis, the City of Tavares and the City of Mount Dora before the Wekiva River Basin Committee for the development of boundaries delineating the Wekiva Study Area and, while employed by the SJRWMD, she was the lead reviewer (aka Sarah M. Garrett) on the City of Ocoee's current CUP. The team of Sarah M. Whitaker, P.G. and Geosphere Technologies, Inc. can provide all services and support services related to CUP permitting, CUP compliance, alternative water supply planning and wellfield development. The proposed team, which includes Tech-Support, Inc., and Mark Kehoe Environmental Services as sub-consultants, has successfully worked with together on several CUPs and environmental projects throughout Florida. We are confident that our services cannot be matched by any other firm or team, irrespective of their size or background. -..".., There are many engineering firms that advertise CUP services; however, very few have the extensive local regulatory involvement, familiarity with the City of Dcoee's permitting history, technical field expertise, and intimate knowledge of the Department of Community Affairs' Wekiva Protection Act and the District's application and compliance process that we present. We look forward to the opportunity to interview with the city later this month. At that time we may further elaborate on requirements of the District's Water Supply Plan and the availability of grant assistance for the city to develop alternative water supplies to mitigate projected groundwater withdrawals. Thank you. Sincerely, .0 c:- Sarah M. Whitaker, P.G. Principal ;-'" .~ Thomas M. Zankert, P.G. President Geosphere Technologies, Inc. ;_"!!- -"- .!! .. ,.

The use of ground water from the Floridan aquifer to provide public supply for an estimated population .of 28,867 in ten years is authorized. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of Ocoee is located west of Orlando in west Orange County (see Figure 1). The City has two service areas, identified as the north and the- south, for potable water systems. With the modification of an existing separating valve, the two systems could be interconnected. Currently the systems are operated separately but bo~h are included under this permit. The north service area is supplied. by five Floridan aquifer wells, wells number 1 and 2 at the Forest Oaks Plant and wells number 1, 2 and 3 at the Jamela Plant. One additional well to the lower Floridan aquifer, Forest Oaks number 3, was constructed and tested under this application. The south service area currently is supplied by one well (well number 1) at the South Plant. In addition, a lower Floridan aquifer well (well number 2) was constructed and tested under this application at the South Plant. The City had one well at the Kissimmee Plant, however, this well has been abandoned and the plant has been taken off-line after July 1994. Production meters are located on the Forest Oaks, South and Jamela Water Plants. The City will equip the new wells with flow meters prior to their going on-line and all othe,wells will have flow meters installed within one year of permit issuance. Water use within the service area will continue to consist mainly of household type use, with some commercial use and a small amount of water utility use. A projected population growth of approximately 60% is expected over the next 10 years with the construction of the proposed Northwest Beltway through the service area. Under the previous permit, the City has underestimated it's projected water use and for the last three years has exceeded the scheduled allocation in the CUP by an average of 50 million gallons a year. This has occurred because Water Use on a per capita basis has been higher than the 114 gallons per day per person previously allocated. While it appears that the previous allocation was based on an unrealistic per capita goal, the City recognizes the need to reduce per capita use and believed that they will be able to lower the current per capita usage from 172 gallons per day to 150 gallons through water conservation efforts and education. All service connections are equipped with meters and, although the City does not allow the installation of new master meters, << three master meters currently exist and will be reQ1aced by individual service meters within four years of permit issuance. The two largest of these master meters serve Oak Forest Apartments Phases I and II and the third master meter is located at Good Homes Plaza. This is a renewal of a previously issued permit with a modification for an increase in allocation. Although the City has exceeded permit allocation of their previous permitted allocations, Staff is recommending a standard 10 year permit duration as they are implementing a reuse system that will help mitigate the demand on potable water for irrigation purposes and will implement additionai water conservation I):leasures, including an increasing block conservation rate structure, that should lower the current per capita usage.

The City will implement an increasing block alternate rate structure within one year of permit issuance. :~ ~ ,- . . The reuse program is to be expanded for irrigation in residential, commercial and open space areas. . The City require:; all new development to install reclaimed water piping where reclaimed water is available. . The City's Building Department will encourage developers to use alternatives to using potable water for irrigation needs when reuse is not available. . The City does not allow new master meters to be installed and the three master meters currently in-place will be removed and retrofitted with indiv,ldual service meters within four years - . The City has a land Development Code that incorporates Xeriscape practices and encourages plantings of native species. . A xeric landscaping demonstration project will be developed along approximately 6,000 L.F. of Maguire Road by 1999. A plaque indicating that it is a xeric landscaping demonstration will be included. . . The City will mail with the utility billing a do-it-yourself residential audit once a year. . The City will distribute water conservation information and xeriscape literature to help promote public awareness of the need to safeguard it's potable water supply. REUSE: The City operates one wastewater treatment facility, Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2, located in the northern service area north of Mims Road. The plant has a permitted design treatment capacity of 3.0 mgd and produces reclaimed water of public access water quality. The City currently produces approximately 0.9 mgd of public access level reclaimed water and currently all reclaimed water goes to the Forest lakes Golf Course for irrigation. The City also has rapid infiltration basins at the waste water treatment facility that are used during wet weather when water conditions. The City will be expanding it's reuse program to include residential, commercial and open space areas overl.the next several years. Included in the initial phase to be completed in 1998 will be reuse irrigation at the West Oaks Mall, open space areas along Clarke Road and adjacent properties and Orlando Memorial Gardens.
