AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to direct the FKAA to present dual proposals
for the wastewater project of Conch Key/Hawks Cay--one proposal for a stand-
alone system and another for connection to Hawks Cay wastewater plant.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Now that the BOCC has de-linked wastewater issues from
development rights on Hawks Cay, the BOCC needs to provide the lowest cost
for a wastewater treatment system for Conch Key. The only way to achieve
this is to have the two proposals bid by independent contractors. After
careful review of competitive bids, the BOCC can choose the most appropriate
and cost effective method to sewer Conch Key.

said he would seek board guid-
ance with each step.
. "Because of the time periods
involved, we can't put things
off for a month or two to think'
about," he cautioned.
Commissioners werc
impressed.
"This is encouraging, it looks
like wc're. going on the fast
train,'" said County Mayor
Sonny McCoy.
FKAA STAYS
Roberts' first announcement
was that county staff reached
agreement with the Florida
Keys Aqueduct Authority
(FKAA) to continuc its role as
wastewater utility.
But a new tcam of players
will work with thc county,
including FKAA board mcmber
Mary Rice and another board
member not yet identified.
Jim Reynolds, deputy direc-
tor of FKAA, will lead the
team.
FKAA Director Roger Braun
previously led the initiative.

They also asked staff to come
back with dual proposals for
Conch Key - hooking up to the
Hawk's Cay system and an
option that provides a stand-

Conch Key.
Preliminmy estimates show

either proposal. However, the

This lettet is in response to your request, dated May 3, 2002, requesting surplus property On Conch Key for MODIoe
County's use in the development of a wastewater treatment plant. I have circulated this requ~st and have received
preliminary responses of "no objection" based on the following:
1. Conveyance oia 1 CO.foot wide parcel ofland running along the outermost lir.oits of the FDOT right of way on the
bayside of Conch Key for the length of Conch Key.
2. This conveyance will be subject to all leases, easements, reservations, encroaclunents and occupancies whether
recorded or not. A formal assignment of all leases in the area will be required.
3. This request is being considered as a public purpose request for no consideration. An adopted resolution from
Monroe County showing the public.prnpose.use oftbe land will be required prior to conveyance.
In addition a letter from Monroe County addressing their earlier request that FDOT not surplus any properties in
Monroe County to ensUre there is no conflict of purpose. A special purpose survey of the area requested will also be
required.
This letter is intended only as an indication of the progress of your requcst to date_ We have not yet received all
responses needed in order to formally declare this property as surplus. We will contin\le to keep you informed as to
the progress of this request.

HAWKS CAY ALTERNATE DISADVANTAGES
" 1. CONNECTING TO AN OLD PLANT
UNIT 1 - BUILT IN 1960 - 42 YEARS OLD/1 00,000 GPO
UNIT 2 - BUILT IN 1997 - 5 YEARS OLD/96,000 GPO
2. RUNNING PIPE INSIDE AN EXISTING WATER PIPE COULD
RESULT IN HUGE UNKNOWN COST
3. NEW PIPE TO HAWKS CAY MUST INSTALLED ACROSS
1,300 FEET OF BRIDGE
4. COST FOR TRANSMISSION LINES ARE $825,000 OR
$475,000 MORE THAN A STAND-ALONE WWTP ON
CONCH KEY
5. 0 & M COST WILL BE HIGHER IN FUTURE YEARS FOR
OUTDATED PLANT VERSUS BRAND NEW STAND-ALONE
6. OLD HAWKS CAY PLANT HAS LITTLE RESIDUAL VALUE
AND MUST BE UPGRADED TO 2110 STANDARDS FOR A
TOTAL COST OF $ 1,130,000 - Boyle Evaluation - Table 1
7. LARGE MOTORS TO PUMP WASTEWATER TO HAWKS
CAY IS ADJACENT TO HERITAGE TRAIL (SOUTH SIDE)
AND HAS A HIGHER LEVEL OF NOISE THAN STAND-
ALONE
8. HAWKS CAY IS NOT SLATED TO CONVERT TO AWT UNTIL
THE YEAR 2009 (CH2MHILL REPORT A-4)
~.
CONCH KEY STAND-ALONE - ADVANTAGES
1. IS AT LEAST $475,000 LESS EXPENSIVE
2. WILL BE BRAND NEW WWTP WITH A 30+ YEAR LIFE
CYCLE AND WILL MEET 2010 STANDARDS
3. WILL HAVE A LOWER 0 & M BASED ON MAINTENANCE,
ELECTRIC AND SLUDGE HAUL OUT
4. ALL COSTS WILL BE SHARED BY CONCH/CORAL KEY
RESIDENTS THROUGH MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING
UNIT
5. HAS NO RISK OF PIPE RUNNING ACROSS 1,300' OF
BRIDGE AND THROUGH UNKNOWN EXISTING PIPE

A.W.T. STANDARDS BY 2010 AT NO COST TO TAXPAYERS

You have requested a clarification concerning Boyle's Technical MemorandUIn for the FKAA dated May
22,2001. The subject of the Technical Memorandum was an evaluation of the Hawk's Cay WWTP to
detennine: '
1. If sufficient land eJtists to upgrade the level of treatment of the existing 200,000 gpd WWI'P to
Advanced Wastewater Treatment (A WI).
2. If sufficient land exists to expand the treatment plant capacity to 300,000 gpd and upgrade the level of
treatment of the e;q>anded facility to A WT.
It was detennined that it would be feasible to upgrade the level of treatment at the existing WWTP site to
_AWT~and maintain the existing capacity. An estimated construction cost was developed of approximately
.' $1.1 Minton fortheuIWsdeto A WT witfino mcrease in capacity.} Our evaluation also indicated that it
wou be feasible to expand thewvrrP capacity-to :rOO~OOO gpd and upgrade the level of treatment to
A WT at the existing site. HoweVCl", an estimate of construction cost was not developed for an expansion.
Relative annual O&M costs were also developed for four potential A WT upgt1l.de options comparing
power and chemical costs. Converting these costs to present worth based on a 20-year analysis period and
a discount rate of 8% resulted in a present worth cost of approximately $1.45 Million for the lowest cost
options. Please note that the present worth evaluation only compared relative operating costdiffercnces
and was not intended to include all O&M costs.
Please let me know if you have any other questions concerning this subject.
