SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the City of Clearwater’s Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
SUMMARY:
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is the principal administrative report, documenting the City’s
expenditures for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs to the U. S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). For Fiscal Year 2009-2010, the City’s budget was as follows: $932,808 in
CDBG; $589,019 in HOME; and $190,416 in program income for a total budget of $1,712,243.
The CAPER document serves as the basis for program monitoring for compliance and for financial audits for all activities conducted
during the Fiscal Year 2009-10 as outlined in the Consolidated Plan for that program year. The report provides HUD with necessary
information for the Department to meet its requirement to assess each grantee’s ability to carry out relevant Community Planning and
Development programs in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations. It also provides information necessary for HUD’s
Annual Report to Congress and it provides grantees and opportunity to describe to citizens their successes in revitalizing deteriorated
neighborhoods and in meeting objectives stipulated in their Consolidated Planning document.
In addition to reporting on our activities with federal money, we also included a summary of activities conducted with the Florida State
Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program in the narrative section; however, these numbers are not included in the totals below.
Through the CDBG and HOME program activities, we expended a total of $2,245,905 in Fiscal Year 2009-10. This included prior year
funds as well as program income and recaptured funds. Those funds not expended from this year’s budget will be reprogrammed in
future budgets.
The City of Clearwater’s Fiscal Year 2009-10 CAPER contains information on the City’s assessment of the following activities:
Assessment of Three to Five Year Goals and Objectives
Affordable Housing
Continuum of Care
Leveraging Resources
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
Citizens Comments
Self-Evaluation
Through the programs covered under the CAPER over 12,728 persons were assisted through Public Services, Public Facilities, Housing
Rehabilitation and New Construction, Fair Housing, and Economic Development projects.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The overall purpose of the community planning and development programs as stated
in Section 91 of the Housing and Community Development Act, as amended, with
programs funded through the Community Development Block Grant Program and the
HOME Investment Partnership Program is to develop viable urban communities by
providing decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanding economic
opportunities principally for low to moderate-income persons. The primary means
toward this end is to extend and strengthen partnerships among all levels of
government and the private sector, including for profit and non-profit organizations,
in the production and operation of affordable housing.
The main purpose of these programs is to provide decent housing. Decent housing
includes assisting homeless individuals and families, retaining the existing housing
stock by rehabilitating existing housing units and increasing the availability of
permanent affordable housing by building new affordable rental and owner-occupied
units and providing down payment assistance. The second purpose includes
increasing public services and public facilities to improve the safety and livability of
neighborhoods as a suitable living environment. The third purpose is to expand
economic opportunities to low to moderate-income individuals by creating or
retaining jobs or creating and/or expanding businesses in low to moderate-income
neighborhoods.
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is the principal
administrative report to document how effective the City has been in expending
CDBG and HOME funds to meet the objectives listed above. It serves as the basis for
program monitoring for compliance and for financial audits. It provides HUD with
necessary information for the Department to meet its requirement to assess each
grantee’s ability to carry out relevant Community Planning Development (CPD)
programs in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations. It provides
information necessary for HUD’s Annual Report to the U. S. Congress and provides
grantees an opportunity to describe to citizens their successes in revitalization of
deteriorated neighborhoods and meeting objectives stipulated in our Consolidated
Plan.
The City’s FY 2009-10 CAPER contains information on the City’s assessment of
activities as they relate to the five-year goals and objectives, affirmatively furthering
fair housing, affordable housing, continuum of care, leveraging resources, citizen
participation, and self-evaluation.

2. ASSESSMENT OF THE ONE YEAR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
In August 2005, the City of Clearwater approved the FY 2005-10 Consolidated Plan
for funding from the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), HOME
Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and State Housing Initiatives Partnership
Program (SHIP). In September 2005, the City’s Consolidated Plan was approved by
the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Five-
Year Consolidated Plan includes two key activities; provide decent, safe, and
affordable housing and increase public services and facilities to improve the safety of
the neighborhoods.
The City's mission is to assist residents in achieving self-sufficiency through decent
housing, a suitable living environment and the expansion of economic opportunities.
The goals for community development include promoting community self investment
in low/moderate-income areas, providing facilities/services to address critical social
services needs, providing facilities/services for seniors, children and persons with
special needs, and expanding economic opportunities.
The goals for housing and the homeless include revitalizing older housing and
demolishing unsafe structures, producing high-quality affordable housing, providing
housing assistance, and providing services/housing for the homeless.
The City of Clearwater focuses on three basic areas for assisting in the provision of
decent, safe and affordable housing. The focus consists of:
1. Homeowner rehabilitation - which include emergency repairs and disabled
retrofitting
2. Down payment and closing cost assistance for homebuyers
3. Acquisition/rehabilitation/new construction
To preserve the existing housing stock, the five-year goal is to rehabilitate 100 units
owned by low-income households. The City will preserve the housing stock by
funding the acquisition and rehabilitation of 50 existing units for new low-income
owner households over the five-year period.
To encourage new homebuyers, the five-year goal is to provide direct down
payment/closing cost assistance to 100 low and moderate-income homebuyers. The
City has proposed to construct 20 new affordable, for sale, infill housing units to
support the City's ongoing revitalization/redevelopment efforts.
To encourage participation in the City's homebuyer’s activities, the five-year goal is
to provide credit counseling and homeownership training assistance to 100
prospective low-income homebuyers.
During FY 2009-10 funding year, the City implemented its Housing Pool primarily
with SHIP and HOME monies and used the funds for down payment and closing cost
assistance, lot acquisition, rehabilitation and new construction. For larger
developments, a non-profit and/or for-profit organization may be allocated funds in a
line of credit format. This allows for the development of small infill projects, as well
as the acquisition of several single existing units for rehabilitation and resale.

rehabilitation and emergency repair program using CDBG, HOME and SHIP funds.
The Housing Pool participants submit a client case for approval for down payment
and/or closing cost assistance. Once approved, the City encumbers those funds.
Upon home closing, the Housing Pool participant will request reimbursement of the
funds they expended and their loan processing fee(s). The loan processing fee(s)
are not funded until we review the client file and have determined that all necessary
documentation has been obtained to verify household income and assets and to
substantiate any rehabilitation that may have been done on the home that was
purchased. The Housing Pool continues to be one of the most effective ways for our
housing partners to access funding for income-eligible clients.
The City has identified five general strategies to provide affordable housing over the
Consolidated Plan period. They are to provide decent, adequate and affordable
housing in safe and desirable environments for: a) renters, b) homeowners, c)
homebuyers, d) homeless and e) non-homeless with special needs.
a. Rental Strategy
The strategy for rental activities includes maintaining the existing rental housing
stock through rehabilitation, new construction, conversion, and providing additional
funding for acquisition/rehabilitation to very-low income households to ensure that
housing costs, including utilities, does not exceed 30% of their gross monthly
income.
The priorities listed in the current five-year strategy calls for providing decent,
adequate and affordable housing in a safe and desirable community for renters. To
fulfill this strategy, the City facilitated meetings with developers and discussed
potential funding for renovations of existing rental properties and/or new
construction projects. Four projects were funded this year:
1) Covert Apartments
On June 8, 2009, Boley Centers, Inc., a private non-profit psychosocial rehabilitation
and housing agency established in 1970, presented an application of funding for
construction costs to rehabilitate a thirteen-unit apartment complex (Covert
Apartments). Boley Centers has developed and operates 15 apartment complexes that
provide 150 units of permanent, supportive housing for people with severe and
persistent mental illness in Pinellas County.
The total cost to renovate the Covert Apartments is $620,950 with the requested
amount from the City being $128,198. Other funding for this project includes $117,752
from the Veterans Administration and $375,000 from Boley Centers, Inc. Two
additional HUD 811 projects are currently under development.
Covert Apartments is located at 1447 and 1451 Gulf to Bay Boulevard in the East
Gateway Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area. This is a commercial sector that is
burdened with a declining business base, deteriorated infrastructure, various building
uses and vacant storefronts. The proposed rehabilitation of the Covert Apartments will
be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City’s Consolidated Plan because it will
improve the appearance of the site and address homelessness in the area.

Fifth Program Year CAPER 4
The apartment complex is comprised of eight two-bedroom units, four one-bedroom
units and one efficiency apartment. Currently, two two-bedroom and three one-bedroom
apartments are occupied by permanent tenants. All of the existing tenants’ incomes are
at or below 50% of area median income. The proposed renovation will not result in any
permanent relocation for the tenants. However, they may have to move within the
complex while their units are being renovated.
The scope of the renovation includes a new roof on the north building, replacement of
windows, countertops and kitchen appliances, carpeting, interior and exterior painting,
and making one two-bedroom unit accessible for persons with physical disabilities.
The proposed rents for the units will be $750 for the two-bedroom units and $500 for
the one-bedroom units. However, the tenants will only pay 30% of their adjusted
income for rent and which is projected at approximately $202 after utility allowances.
The architect for the renovation is Wedding and Stephenson Architects, Inc. and the
proposed contractor is General Home Development, Inc. The project was presented and
approved by the Neighborhood and Housing Advisory Board in July 2009. The project is
proposed to began construction in August 2010 and be completed by early 2011.
2) Pine Berry Apartments
Pine Berry Senior Apartments, located at 1225 Highland Avenue, made an
application for funding to develop apartments for seniors. The amount requested is a
$345,000, three percent 30-year loan. The new apartment complex will provide 80
affordable multi-family units for the elderly. The project will comprise of 40 one-
bedroom/one-bathroom units and 40 two-bedroom/one-bathroom units. The one-
bedroom units are 625 square feet and the two-bedroom units are 780 square feet.
The rents will be set at 60% of the area median income or lower, based on the
requirements of the City. The project site is approximately 3.02 acres and is located
on a former bowling alley site.
The purchase price of the Pine Berry property is $1,800,000. The estimated cost for
the project is $13,651,797. Funding for Pine Berry includes $545,000 from the City
with $200,000 in funds utilized from the State Housing Initiative Partnership Program
and $345,000 in funds utilized from HOME, $10,190,165 is funded through the
Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program, $966,288 is funded from a
permanent loan secured by the general partner, $152,906 is funded from the Florida
Housing Finance Agency, and $1,280,445 is funded from a deferred Developer’s Fee.
The Development will be equipped with an amenity package that includes emergency
call service in each unit, a community center, a picnic area, a computer lab, laundry
facilities with full size washers and dryers, and a library.
RLI Beneficial Development 7, LLC is the Developer of the apartments. RLI will
engage a management company once the project is completed.
The Partnership submitted a LIHTC Application to the Florida Housing Finance Agency
on April 10, 2008. The Partnership obtained their tax credits and architectural
drawings in July 2008. The project is scheduled to be completed by 2011.

Fifth Program Year CAPER 5
On May 3, 2010, the Homeless Emergency Project (HEP) submitted an application to
the City in the amount of $100,000 to acquire vacant real property located at 1250
Palmetto Street. The property was previously owned by the Pinellas County School
Board.
HEP is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization that was founded in 1986 to meet the
needs of a growing number of homeless individuals and families. HEP provides
emergency shelter, transitional housing, and family rental units for the homeless
population. In addition to housing, the agency provides food, intensive case
management, clinical services, free dental care, child care and other supportive
services to the homeless.
The vacant land will be used to develop transitional housing for homeless veterans
and individuals. The sale price was undetermined at the time of the application;
however, a February 10, 2010 appraisal listed the value of the land at $558,000. The
subject property is 2.9 acres.
On August 3, 2010, HEP submitted an amended application for the acquisition and
construction costs in the amount of $365,000, the sales price the owner had agreed
to sell the property for and an application in the amount of $302,000 for a portion of
the development costs for the construction of six two-bedroom apartments for
homeless female veterans with or without children and a ten-unit male veterans
group home. This project will create 30 beds specifically for females and females
with children and 20 beds for male veterans.
The total development cost for the project is $2,303,930. The sources and uses of
funding includes $115,000 from HEP for architectural, engineering and inspection
fees, $302,000 from the City for acquisition and construction costs, and $1,886,930
from the US Department of Veterans Administration. The project was presented and
approved by the Neighborhood and Housing Advisory Board on July 14, 2010. If
approved, the design phase will begin in October 2010 and is proposed to be
completed by October 2011.
4) Abilities of Morningside II
On August 31, 2010, Abilities of Morningside II, Inc. applied for funding in the
amount of $200,000 for the acquisition and renovation of rental properties located at
2500 and 2501 Harn Boulevard. The Loan Approval Memo recommends allocating
$200,000 to Abilities of Morningside II, Inc. in funding through the Pinellas County
Housing Trust Fund and/or HOME Investment Partnership Program.
b. Homeowner Strategy
The strategies for homeownership activities are listed as follows:
1. Increase homeownership within the City of Clearwater;
2. Bring housing up to standard (and modernize when possible);
3. Remove architectural barriers;
4. Demolish units that prove economically unfeasible to rehabilitate and provide
relocation benefits;
5. Ensure housing costs are in the general range of 30% of household income,
and;
Attachment number 2
Page 5 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 6
6. Promote energy efficiency and prevent loss of homes.
The five-year goal is to renovate a minimum of 100 housing units through the
Homeowner Rehabilitation Program, complete 25 emergency repairs through the
Emergency Repair Program, and retrofit 25 homes to make them more accessible for
physically-challenged individuals through the Disabled Retrofitting Program.
Sixty-seven percent of the housing units in Clearwater are over 20 years of age. To
assist homeowners who need rehabilitation, the City offers loans through the
Housing Division and through the approved housing non-profits participating in the
City’s Housing Pool. The loans are available to owner-occupied households with
incomes that are very-low to moderate, with a priority on very-low and low-income
households.
During FY 2009-10, the City made a total of twenty-one rehabilitation loans with
HOME and/or SHIP and Pinellas Housing Trust Fund Program funds. Thirteen SHIP-
only loans were provided to low to moderate-income families with twelve loans being
provided for families with income of less than 50% of area median income. One loan
was provided to a family with income between 50% and 80% of area median
income.
An additional combination of HOME and SHIP loans were provided to six low to
moderate-income families. Of those loans, five were provided to families with income
less than 50% of area median income. One loan was provided to a family with
income between 50-80% of area median income.

unmatched SHIP Program Funds. The total expenditures from all funds were
$635,116.
c. Homebuyer Strategy
Attachment number 2
Page 6 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 7
The strategies for homebuyers include housing counseling programs that address
pre-ownership issues, credit counseling, budgeting and foreclosure prevention to the
very-low, low and moderate-income households. The 2010 Median Income for a
family of four (4) in the Tampa/St. Petersburg/Clearwater Area is $59,400. The low-
income threshold is $47,500 for households at 80% of area median income and
$29,700 for households at 50% of area median income.
Other strategies include easy access to affordable homeownership opportunities by
providing larger subsidies to the very-low income credit-ready households and those
purchasing homes within the City’s target areas. The homebuyer strategy also
provides a means to finance the cost of rehabilitation as part of acquisition, providing
additional affordable housing units to very-low and low-income households, upgrade
neighborhoods and encourage activities to promote safer neighborhoods.
The City offers several programs that assist in making housing more affordable to
very-low to moderate-income homebuyers. The City’s Homeownership Program
lends funds to purchase land, provide down payment assistance, pay impact fees,
pay disposition costs, pay closing costs and build new homes for income eligible
homebuyers. Funds in this program are also available to approved non-profit
agencies financing their clients home ownership needs. Currently these agencies
include:
1. Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc.
2. Community Service Foundation
3. Habitat for Humanity
4. Largo Area Housing Development Corporation
5. Tampa Bay Community Development Corporation
The funds will be leveraged against private sector financing to provide affordable
housing.
The five-year goal for homebuyers calls for assisting 100 homebuyers with down
payment and closing cost assistance and providing 100 homebuyers with educational
services in regards to purchasing a home.
The City provided an allocation of $25,000 to Tampa Bay Community Development
Corporation (TBCDC) to administer their Home Buyers Club and Homeownership
Counseling Program and $2,500 to Community Services Foundation (CSF) to
administer a Partnership to Homeownership Program and Homebuyer Education
Program. In addition, the City provided $2,500 in funding to Clearwater
Neighborhood Housing Services (CNHS) to implement a Housing
Education/Counseling Program. All of the education and counseling programs were
funded through the SHIP Program.
The $30,000 in funding set-aside for the Home Buyer Counseling Program resulted in
a total expenditure of $20,000. The total was comprised of $17,710 in expenditures
from TBCDC, $790 from CSF, and $1,500 from CNHS.
Over 135 individuals/families took part in the education/counseling services during
this reporting period. A total of 100 participated in both TBCDC Programs
(Homeownership Counseling and Homebuyer Education Programs), ten participated
in Community Service Foundation’s Partnership to Ownership and Homebuyer
Education Programs, and twenty-five participated through Clearwater Neighborhood
Attachment number 2

Housing Services, Inc. Housing Education/Counseling Programs.
Other activities supported by the City includes providing funding for the acquisition of
vacant land and building new single family homes, providing funding to purchase
existing homes and rehabilitating them and providing down payment and closing cost
assistance to purchase new and existing homes.
During this reporting period, the City provided $486,850 in SHIP/HOME funds to
purchase five vacant lots. The purchase of the lots resulted in four new homes. This
investment of $486,850 contributed to private investments of $401,084 for the four
homes. Two homes were purchased by two families with an income of less than 50%
of area median income, two homes are vacant and one home is under construction.
In this reporting period, an additional $16,000 in HOME funds was expended on an
existing single-family housing unit that was acquired last year. The housing unit will
be rehabilitated and sold as an affordable housing unit to a low to moderate-income
family in the next reporting period.
The City’s Down Payment and Closing Cost Program provided new homebuyer
opportunities to twenty-four families. Of the families assisted, two families income
was below 50% of area median income, twenty-two families had incomes between
50-80% of area median. The average purchase price of the homes was $78,148.

$390,000 in private capital being placed in the City’s economy.
d. Homeless Strategy
Policy Direction
The Pinellas County Homeless Policy Group (HPG) was formed in the fall 2004. The
mission was to develop a countywide, 10-year plan to end homelessness. This plan
was a result of an 18-month research and planning process. Included in the
planning process were 40 members represented by elected officials, a school board
member, a public defender, community and business leaders from a variety of
Attachment number 2
Page 8 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 9
industries, including faith-based organizations, housing authorities, healthcare, law
enforcement, businesses, foundations, the homeless coalition, and formerly
homeless persons from the general community.
Several factors were at the forefront of our research and planning discussions. The
factors included: improving the quality of life for homeless individuals and families,
improving the quality of life for those at risk of becoming homeless, eliminating
barriers to housing and services, finding ethical and economical solutions, developing
unified and comprehensive efforts that demonstrate best practices in housing and
service delivery, and being able to demonstrate returns for our forthcoming efforts.
The HPG adopted the plan on January 13, 2006 and the City Council approved the
plan on March 16, 2006.
The HPG has transitioned into the Homeless Leadership Network (HLN). HLN
monitors and oversees implementation of the plan to ensure accountability and
results consistent with the plan. The make-up of the HLN is very similar to the HPG,
but now executive members of the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless
(PCCH) serve on the group. The PCCH serves as the Operations Network Group and
deals with the operating and actual implementation of the 10-Year Plan, while
getting direction from the HLN.
In creating this plan and demonstrating our commitment to work together to develop
and enact this plan, we hope this will provide motivation for others to get involved
and support the effort.
Operational Support
The City provided CDBG funding to three agencies assisting the homeless in FY
2009-2010 – Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP), Religious Community
Services – Food Pantry/The Haven and Homeless Emergency Project.
The City funded the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Program (CHIP) in the
amount of $30,000 for operational support for a program that provides temporary
shelter, food and clothing. The agency assisted 1,612 individuals during this
reporting period. The program requires participants to seek and retain employment
and receive counseling in order to stay at the shelter. Upon stabilization, clients are
moved into transitional housing.
The City provided $150,000 to the Homeless Emergency Project, Inc. to build an
office complex facility that provides homeless services. The project is now completed
and the agency provided homeless services to 968 individuals and families. In
addition, the City provided $20,000 to the agency for operational support to
implement the homeless programs.
A total of $45,710 was provided to Religious Community Services – Food Pantry to
renovate their facility that provides food for low-income and homeless individuals
and families. The agency provided services to 8,739 families during this reporting
period.
The chart below illustrates the non-housing homeless allocations and expenditures
for FY 2009-10 and prior funds expended in this reporting year. These allocations

reimbursement from the City. Agency requests for reimbursement were submitted late in the fiscal year
and as such were not processed in time for fiscal year end.
Homeless Housing Actions
1) Covert Apartments
On June 8, 2009, Boley Centers, Inc., a private non-profit psychosocial rehabilitation
and housing agency established in 1970, presented an application of funding for
construction costs to rehabilitate a thirteen-unit apartment complex. Boley Centers has
developed and operates 15 apartment complexes that provide 150 units of permanent,
supportive housing for people with severe and persistent mental illness.
The total cost to renovate the units is $620,950 with the requested amount from the
City being $128,198. Other funding for this project includes $117,752 from the
Veterans Administration and $375,000 from Boley Centers, Inc. Two additional HUD
811 projects are under currently under development.
Covert Apartments is located at 1447 and 1451 Gulf to Bay Boulevard in the East
Gateway Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area. This is a commercial sector that is
burdened with a declining business base, deteriorated infrastructure, various building
uses and vacant storefronts. The proposed rehabilitation of the Covert Apartments will
be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City’s Consolidated Plan because it will
improve the appearance of the site and address homelessness in the area.
The apartment complex is comprised of eight two-bedroom units, four one-bedroom
units and one efficiency apartment. Currently, two two-bedroom and three one-bedroom
apartments are occupied by permanent tenants. All of the existing tenants’ incomes are
at or below 50% of area median income. The proposed renovation will not result in any
permanent relocation for the tenants. However, they may have to move within the
complex while their units are being renovated.
The scope of the renovation includes a new roof on the north building, replacement of
windows, countertops and kitchen appliances, carpeting, interior and exterior painting,
and making one two-bedroom unit accessible for persons with physical disabilities.
The proposed rents for the units will be $750 for the two-bedroom units and $500 for
the one-bedroom units. However, the tenants will only pay 30% of their adjusted
income for rent and which is projected at approximately $202 after utility allowances.
Attachment number 2
Page 10 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 11
The architect for the renovation is Wedding and Stephenson Architects, Inc. and the
proposed contractor is General Home Development, Inc. The project was presented and
approved by the Neighborhood and Housing Advisory Board in July 2009. The project
began construction in August 2010 and will be completed by early 2011.
2) Pine Berry Senior Apartments
Pine Berry Senior Apartments, located at 1225 Highland Avenue, made an
application for funding to develop apartments for seniors. The amount requested is a
$345,000, three percent 30-year loan. The new apartment complex will provide 80
affordable multi-family units for the elderly. The project will comprise of 40 one-
bedroom/one-bathroom units and 40 two-bedroom/one-bathroom units. The one-
bedroom units are 625 square feet and the two-bedroom units are 780 square feet.
The rents will be set at 60% of the area median income or lower, based on the
requirements of the City. The project is approximately 3.02 acres and located on a
former bowling alley site.
The purchase price of the Pine Berry property is $1,800,000. The estimated cost for
the project is $13,651,797. Funding for Pine Berry includes $545,000 from the City
with $200,000 in funds utilized from the State Housing Initiative Partnership Program
and $345,000 in funds utilized from HOME, $10,190,165 is funded through the
Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program, $966,288 is funded from a
permanent loan secured by the general partner, $152,906 is funded from the Florida
Housing Finance Agency, and $1,280,445 is funded from a deferred Developer’s Fee.
The Development will be equipped with an amenity package that includes emergency
call service in each unit, a community center, a picnic area, a computer lab, laundry
facilities with full size washers and dryers, and a library.
RLI Beneficial Development 7, LLC is the Developer of the apartments. RLI will
engage a management company once the project is completed.
The Partnership submitted a LIHTC Application to the Florida Housing Finance Agency
on April 10, 2008. The Partnership obtained their tax credits and architectural
drawings in July 2008. The project is scheduled to be completed by 2011.
3) HEP Veterans Housing
On May 3, 2010, the Homeless Emergency Project (HEP) submitted an application to
the City in the amount of $100,000 to acquire vacant real property located at 1250
Palmetto Street. The property was previously owned by the Pinellas County School
Board.
HEP is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization that was founded in 1986 to meet the
needs of a growing number of homeless individuals and families. HEP provides
emergency shelter, transitional housing, and family rental units for the homeless
population. In addition to housing, the agency provides food, intensive case
management, clinical services, free dental care, child care and other supportive
services to the homeless.
The vacant land will be used to develop transitional housing for homeless veterans
and individuals. The sale price was undetermined at the time of the application;
Attachment number 2
Page 11 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 12
however, a February 10, 2010 appraisal listed the value of the land at $558,000. The
subject property is 2.9 acres.
On August 3, 2010, HEP submitted an amended application for the acquisition in the
amount of $365,000, the sales price the owner had agreed to sell the property for
and an application in the amount of $302,000 for a portion of the development costs
for the construction of six two-bedroom apartments for homeless female veterans
with or without children and a ten-unit male veterans group home. This project will
create 30 beds specifically for females and females with children and 20 beds for
male veterans.
The total development cost for the project is estimated at $2,303,930. The sources
and uses of funding includes $115,000 from HEP for architectural, engineering and
inspection fees, $302,000 from the City for construction costs, and $1,886,930 from
the US Department of Veterans Administration. The project was presented and
approved by the Neighborhood and Housing Advisory Board on July 14, 2010. If
approved, the design phase will begin in October 2010 and is proposed to be
completed by October 2011.
4) Abilities of Morningside II
On August 31, 2010, Abilities of Morningside II, Inc. applied for funding in the
amount not to exceed $200,000 for the acquisition and renovation of rental
properties located at 2500 and 2501 Harn Boulevard. The Loan Approval Memo
recommends allocating an amount not to exceed $200,000 to Abilities of Morningside
II, Inc. in funding through the Pinellas County Housing Trust Fund and/or HOME
Investment Partnership Program.
5) Pinellas Hope II
In the last reporting period, Catholic Charities requested, and was awarded,
$127,501.56 as the City’s local match from the Pinellas County Housing Trust Fund
(HTF) as a local grant to build a fifty-unit, 80-bed efficiency apartment complex on
the net acre tract of land owned by the Diocese of St. Petersburg. The land is
located directly to the south of the Pinellas Hope facility located at 49th Street and
the 5500 Block of 126th Avenue. The facility serves persons who are homeless or

3. AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING
The City of Clearwater is no longer directly enforcing fair housing laws. The
responsibility has been assigned to the Pinellas County Human Relations Department
since their office investigates and makes recommendations on all Fair Housing issues
for other areas of Pinellas County with the exception of the City of St. Petersburg.
The City plays an active role in affirmatively furthering Fair Housing by adhering to
the Human Rights Ordinance that Pinellas County adopted in 1984. Pinellas County
maintains an Interlocal Agreement with the City of St. Petersburg for the
enforcement of the ordinance. The City of St. Petersburg handles enforcement south
of Ulmerton Road and Pinellas County enforces north of Ulmerton Road.
In 2002, the City of Clearwater, along with the cities of St. Petersburg and Largo,
and Pinellas County formed a Fair Housing Partnership to coordinate efforts
countywide to support and expand the availability of housing to all, regardless of
familial status, national origin, race, accessibility, and disability. The partnership’s
tools for furthering this effort are educational programs, training, testing,
assessments, and enforcement through the appropriate channels. The partnership
meets periodically to review programs and to set and review goals.
The City remains active in the provision of affordable and accessible housing and
promotion of home ownership. The City provides information concerning home
ownership, home financing, and home repairs in printed matter and has worked with
our Public Communications Department to provide information in a variety of other
mediums
On April 15, 2010, the City partnered with the Bay Area Apartment Association, Bay
Area Legal Services, the cities of Largo, St. Petersburg and Tampa, Greater Tampa
Association of Board of Realtors, Gulf Coast Legal Services, Hillsborough County
Equal Opportunity Administration and Pinellas County Office of Human Rights
(Tampa Bay Fair Housing Consortium) to sponsor an Annual Fair Housing Certificate
Program. The City provided sponsorship for programs providing workshops on Fair
Housing, Accessible Home Design, Landlord-Tenant Rights and Responsibilities, and
Real Estate Sales and Rentals.
a. Sale or Rental of Housing
Fair Housing complaints received by the City’s Equity Services Department and
Pinellas County Office on Human Rights/Human Relations indicate that discrimination
in the sale or rental of housing and provision of housing brokerage services does
occur. The City hopes to partner with other local government agencies and conduct a
study to determine the level of discrimination.
b. Public Policies
The high percentage of build-out in the City affects the availability of suitable land
for multi-family and affordable single-family development. The City’s Community
Development Code, design standards, adequate public facility (concurrency)
ordinance and building code requirements influence the feasibility of affordable
housing projects. Development regulations can limit the potential use of small or
Attachment number 2
Page 13 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 14
irregular infill parcels for affordable housing or increase costs associated with site
development and construction.
c. Administrative Policies
Administrative policies generally support Fair Housing. These include:
1. Marketing housing programs in targeted areas.
2. Providing citywide homebuyers’ assistance and education.
3. Placing educational material on the Housing Division’s webpage.
4. Carefully reviewing where affordable housing developments will be located.
5. Avoiding a concentration of very-low to moderate-income households in
multi-family developments.
d. Actions Taken To Overcome Impediments
In 1995, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced
that entitlement communities, communities receiving direct federal funding from
Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnership and Emergency
Shelter Grant programs, must conduct a study of existing barriers to housing choice.
This required study is referred to as the Analysis of Impediments (AI) and is part of
entitlement communities consolidated planning process.
The purpose of the AI is to examine how state and local laws, private, public and
non-profit sector regulations, administrative policies, procedures, and practices are
impacting the location, availability, and accessibility of housing in a given area. The
AI is not a Fair Housing Plan rather it is an analysis of the current state of fair
housing choices in Clearwater and identifies specific barriers that need to be
addressed if future fair housing initiatives are to be successful.
Each jurisdiction receiving federal funds must certify that it is affirmatively furthering
fair housing. The certification specifically requires jurisdictions to conduct an analysis
of impediments to fair housing choice within the state or local jurisdiction, take
appropriate actions to overcome the effects of any impediments identified through
that analysis, and maintain records reflecting the analysis and actions in this regard.
Evaluating fair housing impediments is a complex process involving diverse and
wide-ranging considerations. The role of economics, housing patterns, and personal
choice are important to consider when examining fair housing choice. Clearwater
has relatively few impediments to fair housing. However, some issues were
identified.
On July 22, 2010, the cities of St. Petersburg, Largo and Clearwater and Pinellas
County procured the services of J-Quad Planning Group, a fair housing consultant, to
conduct an analysis of impediment to fair housing choice for each entity. The result
of that analysis is listed below.
The analysis of fair housing choice in the City has resulted in the identification of
impediments, identified through a study methodology that included conducting focus
group sessions, the construction of a demographic analysis resulting in a community
profile and fair housing index, analysis of the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA)
data for the City and Pinellas County and a fair housing law and public policy and
program review.

The City’s commitment to furthering affordable housing through planning and
CDBG/HOME program design and implementation is noteworthy. These efforts will
continue to help maintain stability and strengthen its older and lower-income areas.
The City and its nonprofit partners are encouraged to expand these efforts into other
neighborhoods as a primary means of expanding fair housing choice.
Banking, Finance, Insurance and Other Industry Related Impediments
Impediment: Impacts of the Sub-prime Mortgage Lending Crises and increased
Foreclosures.
Remedial Action: Continue to work with the State, National Non-Profit Housing
Intermediaries, Federal Home Loan Bank, other lenders and HUD to evaluate
programs and identify funding that can help reduces the mortgage default rate and
foreclosure rates among low and moderate-income home buyers and existing home
owners.
Impediment: Low number of loan applications from minorities and low origination
rates for minority applicants.
Remedial Action: Continue homebuyer outreach and education efforts. Expand
homeownership and credit counseling classes as part of a high school curriculum in
order to help prevent credit problems later in life.
Impediment: Predatory lending and other industry practices.
Remedial Action: Continue to encourage financial institutions to assist low to
moderate-income persons by establishing or reestablishing checking, saving, and
credit accounts for residents that commonly utilize check cashing services through
bank initiated “fresh start programs” for those with poor credit and previous non-
compliant bank account practices.
Socio-Economic Impediments
Impediment: Poverty and low-income among minority populations.
Remedial Action: Continue to work on expanding job opportunities through the
recruitment of corporations, the provision of incentives for local corporations seeking
expansion opportunities, and the assistance with the preparation of small business
loan applications. Support agencies that provide workforce development programs
and continuing education courses to increase the educational level and job skills of
residents.
Neighborhood Conditions Related Impediments
Impediment: Limited resources to assist lower income, elderly and indigent
homeowners maintain their homes and stability in neighborhoods.
Remedial Action: Continue to support and expand program of Self-Help Initiatives
based on volunteers providing housing assistance to designated elderly and indigent
property owners and assist them in complying with municipal housing codes.
Involve volunteers, community and religious organizations/institutions and
Attachment number 2

businesses as a means of supplementing financial resources for housing repair and
neighborhood cleanups.
Public Policy Related Impediments
There were no Public Policy Related Impediments.
The City funds programs that offer free classes for persons desiring to become
homeowners. The Pinellas Realtor Organization subscribes to the Voluntary
Affirmative Marketing Agreement (VAMA) and works to educate its members about
Fair Housing. Training and marketing materials have been videotaped and translated
into American Sign Language and Spanish. The City promotes home ownership and
education at various homebuyer fairs and expositions. The City also provides
funding to Community Service Foundation to provide Fair Housing Education.
In addition to the Human Relations Department, the City is working with Pinellas
County Realtors through the VAMA Program to further fair housing opportunities in
real estate transactions. To further these efforts of the VAMA, the Pinellas County
Board of Realtors enlisted the services of the Community Housing Resource Board to
focus on the federal, state and local enforcement agencies, housing industry groups
and volunteer community groups working together to promote fair housing practices.
These efforts include:
• Providing public information on fair housing

issues that impede equal housing opportunity
• Evaluating performance and effectiveness of the VAMA
• Expanding minority involvement in the real estate industry
• Expanding public awareness of housing opportunities in the community
• Developing cooperative solutions to problems associated with the
implementation of the VAMA
Other actions during the FY 09-10 include:
• Continued support of Pinellas County Human Relations Department, Pinellas
County Board of Realtors, and the Community Housing Resource Board
• Continued to work with the local committee of American with Disabilities to
view housing related issues for homeowners, renters, or homebuyers with
disabilities
• Provided SHIP funding in the amount of $2,500 to the Community Service
Foundation, $20,000 to Tampa Bay Community Development Corporation,
and $2,500 to Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Service to implement
homebuyers training programs, fair housing education and assistance, and
foreclosure prevention and counseling services
• Provided funding in the amount of $19,984 to Gulf Coast Legal Services to
implement a fair housing program that offers counseling services, initial
needs assessment, rental eviction intervention, and marketing of fair housing
programs. The agency assisted 89 individuals

Fifth Program Year CAPER 17
The County publishes a Housing Resource Directory that includes an overview of fair
housing law, information about reasonable accommodation and accessibility, and a
list of state and local enforcement agencies. The County produces a brochure
entitled, Fair Housing in Pinellas County, and distributes approximately 5,000 copies
annually. Below market rate mortgages, down payment and closing cost assistance
are readily available through the County’s Housing Finance Authority and through
other agencies. The County is also active in providing and promoting affordable
housing, providing low-cost funds for home purchase or repair, and modifications to
homes to make them accessible to persons with disabilities.
The City directs significant resources to expand the supply of affordable rental
housing and partners with a variety of for-profit and non-profit developers and the
Housing Finance Authority of Pinellas County. The City also assists developers with a
variety of incentives aimed at reducing development costs, impact fees, and
regulatory impediments.
The City encourages mixed-income, multi-family developments to develop affordable
housing in areas that are not predominantly low to moderate-income areas as part of
a continuing effort to deconcentrate poverty. Funding is denied to developers who
do not provide mixed-income housing where the effect could be to racially or
economically segregate low-income households.
4. LEVERAGING RESOURCES
The City’s efforts to provide affordable housing and other services to very-low to
moderate-income families have resulted in leveraging a great amount of additional
resources.
Through the Infill Housing and Down Payment Assistance Programs, the City
continues to work closely with the lending and housing non-profits in the community
to leverage private investment in home ownership. (Please see Homebuyers Section
for accomplishments). In addition, the City works with Community Service
Foundation, Tampa Bay Community Development Corporation, and Clearwater
Neighborhood Housing Service, Inc. to provide homeownership counseling to support
our housing programs.
During this reporting period, the City provided $486,850 in SHIP/HOME funds to
purchase five vacant lots. The purchase of the lots has resulted in four new homes.
The City’s investment contributed to private investments of $401,084 for the four
homes. The homes were purchased by two families with an income of less than 50%
of area median income, two of the homes are vacant and one is under construction.
In this reporting period, an additional $16,000 in HOME funds was expended on an
existing single-family housing unit that was acquired last year. The housing unit will
be rehabilitated and sold as an affordable housing unit to a low to moderate-income
family in the next reporting period.
The City’s Down Payment and Closing Cost Program provided new homebuyer
opportunities to twenty-four families. Of the families assisted, one family’s income
was below 50% of area median income and the remaining twenty-three families had
incomes between 50-80% of area median. The average purchase price of the homes
was $78,148.
Attachment number 2
Page 17 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 18
A total of $326,850 in HOME funds and $65,000 in SHIP funds were provided to
make homeownership possible. This public investment of $391,850 resulted in
$390,000 in private capital being placed in the City’s economy.
5. CONTINUUM OF CARE NARRATIVE
The City works closely with the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless and
various other homeless services providers in addressing the needs of the City’s
Homeless.
The City listed Continuum of Care issues as a high priority in the Consolidated Plan.
During this reporting period, the City provided $30,000 in CDBG funds to Clearwater
Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) as operating capital for their Emergency
Shelter Facility as part of its Continuum of Care. The facility provided shelter, food,
counseling, and case management services to 1,612 individuals during this reporting
period.
The Homeless Emergency Project received $150,000 to build an office complex to
provide services for the homeless. The facility offers food to homeless individuals and
families. The agency’s served 968 homeless individuals and families. In addition to
short and long-term housing for the homeless, HEP provides a variety of other
services including job placement, medical, dental and psychological counseling. The
City also provided an additional $20,000 in operational support to implement these
programs.
A total of $45,710 was provided to Religious Community Services – Food Pantry to
complete the renovation of their distribution facility that provides food for deserving
low-income and homeless individuals and families. The agency provided services to
8,739 families during this reporting period.
CDBG funds were provided in the amount of $30,000 to the Pinellas Opportunity
Council to administer their Chore Services Program. Through this program, various
chore services were provided to sixty-eight elderly, frail elderly, developmentally-
disabled and physically-disabled individuals to assist them in remaining in their
home.
6. CITIZENS PARTICIPATION
The City maintains a Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board to
encourage public participation. The Board meets periodically to discuss and make
recommendations to City staff and the City Council on housing-related issues. The
City Clerk’s Office maintains minutes from the meetings.
The City has not received any citizen comments on the Proposed FY 2009-10 CAPER.
7. OTHER ACTIONS
a. Fostering and Maintaining Affordable Housing
The City has been very proactive in fostering and maintaining affordable housing.
Although the City cannot control the cost of labor, goods or land costs, the City
Attachment number 2
Page 18 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 19
continues to look for new and creative ways to address the issue of affordability.
Some of the steps the City has taken in the past and/or is currently doing include:
• Design homes that are practical and efficient
• Subsidize impact fees
• Provide financing at below market rates, zero percent and/or deferred
payment loans
• Fund subrecipients to acquire vacant properties and build affordable houses
• Work with subrecipients to acquire homes foreclosed by HUD and resell them
as affordable housing units
• Pay for infrastructure improvements with general revenue funds
• Change the City’s Development Code to address other development issues
• Work with the local housing authority to buy property and resell for affordable
housing
• Work with developers to put together applications for funding through the
Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program, State of Florida Housing Bond
Program and other resources to build or rehabilitate rental units for affordable
housing
b. Barriers to Affordable Housing
In the early years (1992 – 1995) of the City’s SHIP Program, the Clearwater's
Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) reviewed the following areas to
identify potential barriers to affordable housing:
• Affordable Housing Definitions
• Permit Processing
• Impact Fee Requirements
• Infrastructure Capacity
• Residential Zoning Density
• Transfer of Development Rights
• On-Site Parking and Setback Requirements
• Zero-Lot Line Development
• Sidewalk and Street Requirements
• Regulatory Review Processes
• Inventory of Lands Suitable for Affordable Housing Development
The City began receiving SHIP Program funding in 1992 when the Florida Legislature
adopted the Sadowski Act. The SHIP Program is a dedicated source of affordable
housing funds that are provided annually to cities and counties within the State of
Florida.
One of the driving forces behind the passage of the Sadowski Act was the Florida
Homebuilders and Contractors Associations. As a result of their lobbying effort, SHIP
jurisdictions each year must expend 75% of their funds, entitlement and recaptured
funds, on activities that involve construction and/or rehabilitation of homes, and in
addition, 65% of the funds, entitlement and recaptured funds, must result in
homeownership.
A major requirement of the SHIP Program, as well as a condition of receiving
continued funding, was each jurisdiction had to adopt affordable housing incentives
that would assist in the implementation of their affordable housing activities. Each
SHIP entitlement community was required to adopt an Affordable Housing Incentive
Attachment number 2
Page 19 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 20
Plan (AHIP), which contained, at a minimum two statutory required incentives: 1.
Assurance that permits as defined in Chapter 163.3164(7) and (8) F.S. for affordable
housing projects are expedited to a greater degree than other projects; 2. An
ongoing process for review of local policies, ordinances, regulations, and plan
provisions that increase the cost of housing prior to their adoption (420.9071(16)
F.S.).
During the 2007 legislative session, the Florida legislature passed House Bill 1375.
Under this bill, approval was granted for the creation of Section 420.9076 of the
Florida Statute. This statute requires counties and cities receiving SHIP funds to
appoint an eleven member Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC). The
statute further provides that the committee be made up of members from a specific
industry or a specific group as identified in the statute. The requirement was largely
met through the use of the City’s existing Neighborhood and Affordable Housing
Advisory Board (NAHAB). The City Council adopted Resolution No. 08-15 that created
and appointed the AHAC.
The duties of the AHAC included reviewing policies and procedures, ordinances, land
development regulations and the City’s adopted comprehensive plan and
recommending specific actions or initiatives to encourage or facilitate affordable
housing.
Per state statute, at a minimum, the AHAC reviewed and made recommendations on
the following:
1. The processing of approvals of development orders or permits, as defined in
F.S.163.3164 (7) and (8), for affordable housing projects is expedited to a
greater degree than other projects.
2. The modification of impact-fee requirements, including reduction or waiver of
fees and alternative methods of fee payment for affordable housing.
3. The allowance of flexibility in densities for affordable housing.
4. The reservation of infrastructure capacity or housing for very-low income
persons, low-income persons, and moderate-income persons.
5. The allowance of affordable accessory residential units in residential zoning
districts.
6. The reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing.
7. The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero-lot-line
configurations for affordable housing.
8. The modification of street requirements for affordable housing.
9. The establishment of a process by which a local government considers, before
adoption, policies, procedures, ordinances, regulations, or plan provisions that
increase the cost of housing.
10. The preparation of a printed inventory of locally owned public lands suitable
for affordable housing.
11. The support of development near transportation hubs and major employment
centers and mixed-use developments.
In July 2008, the Economic Development and Housing Department contracted with
Wade Trim, Inc. to help facilitate the process. Wade Trim coordinated the
preparation of the Local Housing Incentive Strategy in cooperation with City staff and
the AHAC. The Local Housing Incentive Strategy encompasses the definition, vision,
strategic focus areas and incentive recommendations in order to facilitate the
development of affordable housing in the City. The AHAC convened on four occasions
Attachment number 2
Page 20 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 21
in order to develop and identify the value of affordable housing, identify the
principles for Clearwater’s affordable housing and develop a vision statement to be
included as part of the Local Hosing Incentives Strategy. A separate focus group
consisting of for-profit and non-profit affordable housing developers was organized in
order to gain additional insight and recommendations concerning the incentive
strategies.
The report highlights an affordable housing vision statement that was derived from
input by board members. Additionally, AHAC members focused on the values that
affordable housing brings to the City. The themes identified centered on the values
that affordable housing supports a dynamic and competitive economy, improves the
social well being that builds a sense of community, and ensures that the City’s
workforce can live within the City limits. Furthermore, the AHAC also identified and
recommended provisions that would identify adaptive reuse practices, require
triennial updates to the City’s Local Housing Incentives Strategy, support design
standards for affordable housing developers, improve communication and marketing
channels for affordable housing, diversify financing resources, and support
development of public and private partnerships for the provision of affordable
housing.
By statute, the initial report was submitted to the City Council by December 30,
2008. After the initial submission, the reports become due every three (3) years on
December 31st of the year preceding the submission of the Local Housing Assistance
Plan (LHAP).
The City Council reviewed the Local Housing Incentives Strategy recommendations
that were approved by the AHAC on November 19, 2008. The City Council adopted
an amendment to the LHAP to incorporate the local housing incentive strategies it
will implement for the City. The amendment included, at a minimum, the state
required incentive strategies specified above. Upon approval, the City notified the
state of its adoption of an amendment to its LHAP to incorporate the incentive
strategies. The notice included a copy of the approved amended plan in order to
comply with the SHIP programs participation guidelines.
In future years, as part of the monitoring process conducted by the State of Florida,
the monitors will be evaluating how local jurisdictions are implementing their
affordable housing incentives in order to ensure they are meeting their statutory
obligations. These evaluations will analyze the process and policies that all affordable
housing projects go through from start to finish. This process is not totally exclusive
to affordable housing projects using SHIP dollars, but any affordable housing project
taking place in the City, regardless of the funding source.
c. Managing the Process
As part of the review process for proposed policies, regulations, plans and programs,
the sponsoring City department requests the Economic Development and Housing
Department to analyze the economic impact of the action proposed as it pertains to
the cost of housing. The analysis shows the estimated increase in cost to an average
home. The analyses are maintained on file in the Housing Division of the Economic
Development and Housing Department.
The City holds public hearings and meetings to obtain citizen input and to respond to
citizen proposals and inquiries about activities and program performances. Citizens
Attachment number 2
Page 21 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 22
and other City stakeholders have emphasized the need to consider the City’s diverse
interests in the establishment of goals, objectives, policies and priorities; the
identification of new projects and programs; and in the application, monitoring and
evaluation of existing programs.
Typically, the Economic Development and Housing Department staff meets with
prospective affordable housing developers to determine the level of assistance and
project needs. If the developer proceeds with a project, staff facilitates the plan
review and permitting process through the Planning, Building and Engineering
Departments. This allows the Economic Development and Housing Department to
troubleshoot and streamline the process.
Below is a section from the City’s Expedited Processing and Ongoing Review Policy.
d. Expedited Processing
i. Building Department
All affordable housing projects, as defined in Chapter 163.3164(7) and (8) F.S., that
are located within the City limits are required to include with their application for a
building permit a request for Expedited Processing. A copy of this request must be
provided to the Building Official and to the Assistant Director of Housing. Expedited
Processing affords eligible projects priority over projects without this status. When
an affordable housing project receives approval, the Building Division notifies the
Assistant Director who, in turn, will document the timeframe for the application
process.
ii. Planning Department
The Planning Department will follow the City of Clearwater - Community
Development Code when processing all affordable housing applications for activities
that require rezoning, land-use amendments, variances, development orders, etc.
Under the Code, all projects are reviewed and may be scheduled for the next
meeting of the Development Review Committee (DRC – staff level review) and if
needed, the Community Development Board (CDB). Many applications can be
decided at the staff level and may not need to go DRC and/or CDB. When affordable
housing projects and/or applications are submitted that can be decided at the staff
level, they shall receive priority and be reviewed before any non-affordable housing
project and/or applications. Applicants must indicate that the project will be an
affordable housing development and/or project. The Planning Department has and
will continue to implement, where possible, the expedited plan amendment process
for large-scale amendments related to the provision of affordable housing.
e. Comprehensive Plan Analysis
The City’s Comprehensive Plan includes a state mandated housing element that
analyzes the City’s existing and projected housing need. The element contains goals,
objectives and policies that work in tandem with other housing policy documents.
Fostering and maintaining an affordable housing supply is one of the element’s
primary goals. The goal is supported by policies that aim to reduce barriers to public
and private sector construction of affordable units.
Attachment number 2
Page 22 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 23
The Economic Development and Housing Department coordinated with the Planning
Department in 2005 for the preparation of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR)
for the Comprehensive Plan. A focus of the EAR was affordable housing. In this
regard, the EAR included an assessment of the successes and shortcomings of the
City’s affordable housing policies and programs, along with recommendations for
improvement.
The EAR recommendations were addressed in a major update of the Comprehensive
Plan in 2007-2008. As part of the review process, the City formed a Citizen Advisory
Committee (CAC) to provide direction in the EAR. The CAC, along with a consultant
(Wade Trim, Inc.), established identification of data needs and methods of
compilation, meetings, methodology of comprehensive issues analysis, and
coordination with other city departments. The results were provided to the City’s
Planning Department. The Planning Departments recommendations were approved
by the City Council.
f. Lead Based Paint
Lead based paint continues to be a serious problem throughout cities across
America. It is usually prevalent in homes built prior to 1978. Clearwater’s housing
stock is relatively new with the average home being built after 1970. However, the
City still maintains that lead based paint is a serious issue and conducts housing
inspections to determine if there are defective paint surfaces. If lead conditions are
present, the lead paint is either removed or covered in a manner described by HUD.
The City will continue its effort to rid structures of lead based paint and will inspect
any homes built prior to 1978 for any presence of lead based paint. The City will
continue to test and remove all lead based paint surfaces in structures that are being
rehabilitated under our programs that are using federal funds. The City will use the
services of the Pinellas County Environmental Department to test all structures with
defective paint surfaces and the local Health Department to test children for elevated
blood levels. The Willa Carson Community Health Resource Center continues to
participate with the City by providing a meeting area for neighborhood based
education programs, disseminating information on the hazards of lead based paint,
and blood screenings.
The City places information about lead based paint and safety on the City’s Housing
Division website.
Program activities include:
• Collaboration between public-private agencies involving housing, health, and
community-based organizations to facilitate a Healthy Home Team to go
door-to-door in the targeted Brownfields area to identify children and homes
at risk
• Assurance that children identified as at risk receive blood lead testing and the
child with elevated lead levels receives follow-up care
• Promotion of a public awareness campaign through education via physicians
and the community and disbursement of educational materials
• Routine placement of educational materials on the City’s Housing Division
webpage
• Assessment of homes at risk to identify lead hazard control services to
eliminate hazards identified in homes
Attachment number 2
Page 23 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 24
• Initiation of supportive lead hazard control services to eliminate hazards
identified in homes
• Evaluation of prevention activities to measure the impact and outcome of
program services and intervention efforts in the community
g. Poverty Level Assessment
The City realized that the most effective way to reduce the number of persons below
the poverty level was to increase their income through providing employment
opportunities.
The City provides funding to support service organizations that reduce impediments
for families allowing them to rise above the poverty level. The City provides
economic development opportunities to non-profit and for-profit businesses that
agree to hire lower-income individuals. Through the coordination of programs,
including the Environmental Protection Agency, State Brownfields Redevelopment
initiatives, Juvenile Welfare Board, Clearwater Stars, United Way, the Eckerd
Foundation, Pinellas County WorkNet, and the University of South Florida, the City
will continue to expand its efforts to reduce impediments.
h. Institutional Structure
To overcome gaps in institutional structures and enhance coordination, the City
provided local lenders with information relative to the City’s housing programs.
Together we are able to provide home ownership and homebuyer opportunities for
very-low to moderate-income families. The City and its subrecipients pre-qualify
clients to the lender's and City’s specifications and provides financing in the form of
down payment assistance.
i. Public Housing and Residential Initiatives
The City understands the benefits of improving public housing and resident
initiatives. To improve the lives of families residing in public housing the City
targeted the children to break the cycle. The City will continue to work and
strengthen our relationship with the Clearwater Housing Authority (CHA) to foster
innovative public housing developments, potential joint ventures and residential
initiatives.

c. Housing Accomplishments
During FY 2009-10, the City made a total of twenty-four rehabilitation loans with
HOME and/or SHIP and Pinellas Housing Trust Fund Program funds. Thirteen SHIP-
only loans were provided to low to moderate-income families with twelve loans being
provided for families with income of less than 50% of area median income. One loan
was provided to a family with income between 50% and 80% of area median
income. An additional combination of HOME and SHIP loans were provided to six low
to moderate-income families. Of those loans, five were provided to families with
income less than 50% of area median income and one loan was provided to a family
with income between 50-80% of area median income.
Homeowner rehabilitation produced $164,668 in expenditures from the HOME
Program with an additional $54,889 in SHIP funds expenditures as the HOME match.
The rehabilitation program also produced $415,559 in direct expenditures from the
unmatched SHIP Program Funds. The total expenditures from all funds were
$635,116.
The City offers several programs that help make housing more affordable to very-low
and moderate-income homebuyers. The City’s Home Ownership Program will lend
funds to purchase land, provide down payment assistance, pay impact fees, pay
disposition and closing costs and build new homes for income eligible home buyers.
Funds in this program are also available to approved non-profit agencies financing
their clients home ownership needs. Currently these agencies include:

09-10. These funds were generated through the following:
State Annual Distribution $97,329
Program Income $ 226,509
Recaptured Funds $0
TOTAL $323,838
b. Emergency Shelter Grants Program
The City does not receive any Emergency Shelter Grant Funds.
c. Brownfields Program
The Brownfields Area is one of the oldest sections of the City with a low-income,
minority population in the most densely populated county in Florida. The City’s
Brownfields area covers all three of the City’s Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy
Areas.
Clearwater has the distinction of being the first state-designated Brownfields area in
the State of Florida. It was over ten years ago since the City was awarded its first
EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant. The Clearwater Brownfields Area (CBA), with
Attachment number 2
Page 29 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 30
approximately 244 regulatory listed sites located in over 7,000 properties, is spread
across more than 1,842+ acres.
Clearwater defines Brownfields as “redevelopment opportunities that result in viable
economic and community development, residential, and open-space/greenspace
projects.” The definition reflects a perception of Brownfields that is results-oriented,
viewing challenges as opportunities rather than insurmountable liabilities.
Over the last decade, the City has moved aggressively to attract funding for its
Brownfields program. The City has received a total of $2,900,000 in EPA grants and
over $1,800,000 in state and other Brownfields related funding. Clearwater has
conducted over ninety Phase I Environmental Assessments, over fifteen Phase II
Assessments, and fourteen sites have been cleaned up and readied for reuse.
To capture the benefits to public health, the City’s Economic Development & Housing
Department Brownfields Program developed a Model Scoping Plan and Report for the
Tampa Bay Region Public Health Monitoring Project (PHM). The PHM was funded from
a US EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant. By integrating public health with
Brownfields redevelopment, the physical, mental, social and spiritual well being of
individuals, families and the community can be improved.
To gain insight about health challenges faced by Clearwater communities, an initial
meeting was held with local public healthcare providers. A summary report of the
meeting was considered an initial measurement to develop a collaborative effort to
improve community health, well-being and sustainability.
Tangible benefits of Brownfields redevelopment can include health clinics, community
gardens, parks and recreations area, and health related business (e.g. pharmacies,
diagnostic centers). Public health monitoring offers a variety of tools that can be
used to identify the public health needs that may be addressed through Brownfields
redevelopment. These include mapping of site characteristics, examination of vital
statistics and monitoring of health and environment (e.g. asthma surveillance, lead
abatement) among other measures.
During this reporting period, the CRA-owned former Clearwater Auto Salvage Yard
finalized environmental remediation and received a Site Rehabilitation Completion
Order from FDEP. Tax credits have been awarded from the FDEP Voluntary Tax
Clean-up Program in the amount of $516,943.70 for this project.
The CRA also acquired the Car Pro property (see East Gateway NSRA) for
environmental remediation.
The City made scholarships funds available for eligible Brownfields residents to enroll
in a healthcare and medical accreditation program offered at Ultimate Medical
Academy campuses located at 1218 Court Street and 1255 Cleveland Street.
Brochures were created and distributed to non-profits and libraries in the Brownfields
area. To date, twelve students were awarded various scholarships, depending on
their field of choice, at a cost of $23,387.50.
11. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The City utilized a strategy of diversification when selecting CDBG eligible activities.
Funds in the amount of $186,561 were allocated for administration, $185,920 for
Attachment number 2
Page 30 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 31
housing activities (rehabilitation, acquisition, disposition, etc.), $195,710 for public
facilities and improvements and $149,632 for public services.
a. Nature and Reasons for Any Changes to Objectives
There were no changes or amendments to program objectives.
b. Assessment of Grantee Efforts to Carryout Planned Actions
1. All resources (CDBG, HOME and SHIP) listed in the Consolidated Plan were
obtained.
2. The City supported the Homeless Emergency Project in an application for
federal funds.
3. In addition to CDBG, HOME and SHIP funds, the City was successful in
obtaining private sector leveraging for new housing construction and financing
home purchases.
c. Actions of Funds Used Outside the National Objectives
All CDBG funds were used for activities that meet the national objectives.
d. Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Demolition Narrative
Neither the City, nor its subrecipients, acquired or rehabilitated buildings that
resulted in the displacement of business, individuals or families as a result of
projects funded with CDBG or HOME dollars. All properties that were acquired with
CDBG funds were voluntary and mostly vacant parcels.
The City’s subrecipients purchased all properties acquired during this reporting
period. They include Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Service, Inc. and Habitat for
Humanity.
When subrecipients become interested in a property they want to acquire, the
following steps are required:
1. The subrecipient informs the property owner they are interested in the
property.
2. The subrecipient sends out HUD Guide Notice-Disclosures to Sellers with
Voluntary, Arm’s Length Purchase Offer.
3. The subrecipient informs the owner they do not have the power of Eminent
Domain and the purchase would strictly be a voluntary transaction.
4. If the owner is interested in selling the property, an appraisal is obtained.
5. The subrecipient determines just compensation for the property.
6. The subrecipient offers just compensation to the owner.
7. The owner agrees to the offer, the subrecipient may purchase the property.
8. If the offer is not acceptable to the owner, both parties walk away from the
deal.
Temporary relocation benefits were provided to eligible homeowners while their
homes were being rehabilitated. Temporary benefits include moving, storage,
temporary rents, and utilities.

Fifth Program Year CAPER 32
e. Economic Development Narrative
For FY 2009-10, the City expended $11,643.26 for Economic Development Program
Delivery. The program delivery costs were associated with managing the economic
development loan portfolio. These costs include, but are not limited to, collecting on
unpaid loans, sending out late notices, maintaining data in the City’s financial
system, and reevaluating loans. Currently, the City has suspended its Economic
Development Revolving Loan Program and is reviewing options on its status.
At the end of this reporting period, the balance in the City’s Economic Development
Revolving Loan Program was $249,117.87. The City is in the process of establishing
a façade improvement program in the upcoming reporting period. This program will
have an initial budget of $80,000 with funds established from the existing revolving
loan fund.
f. Limited Clientele Narrative
The City and its subrecipients maintain files that document all clients who qualify for
the limited clientele designation.
g. Loans and Other Receivables
The City maintains three revolving loan funds. They are the Rehabilitation Revolving
Loan Fund to rehabilitate owner-occupied housing, the Economic Development
Revolving Loan Fund to provide loans to for-profit businesses, and an Infill Housing
Revolving Loan Fund to acquire real property to build new owner-occupied housing.
During the reporting year, the Rehabilitation Revolving Loan Fund generated
$115,988.38 in program income. The cash balance at the end of the reporting period
was $186,897.48. The Infill Housing Revolving Loan Fund generated $54,705.97 in
program income. The cash balance at the end of the reporting period was
$278,620.14. The Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund generated
$19,721.42 in program income. The cash balance at the end of the reporting period
was $249,117.87.
Please see Financial Summary Report for other loans and receivable information.
h. Lump Sum Agreements
The City does not provide lump sum drawdowns.
12. NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION STRATEGY AREAS
The City of Clearwater’s Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy (NRS) is a component
of the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The strategy was established to promote a
flexible design in the City’s allocation of funds provided by HUD and CDBG to
promote innovative programs in economically disadvantaged areas of the City. The
NRS provides for enhanced regulatory flexibility in the program requirements for
providing CDBG funds for economic development, housing and public service
activities.
In terms of economic development relief, the strategy allows job creation or
retention efforts by businesses not to be hampered by requiring them to track the
Attachment number 2
Page 32 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 33
income of people hired or retained. Economic development activities carried out in
the approved neighborhood revitalization areas are also exempt from the aggregate
public benefit standards.
The relief for public service activities can be viewed in terms of the regulatory
requirements that no more than 15% of the total CDBG allocation may be used for
public services activities. Under this strategy, all public services offered within the
subject neighborhoods and carried out as part of qualified projects by a Community
Based Development Organization (CBDO) are exempt from the public service cap of
15%. Therefore, the City will be able to offer a more intensive level of service to
stimulate revitalization. This allows the City to address some of the urgent needs of
the disadvantaged community by offering job training and other related economic
development assistance.
In terms of housing relief, the revitalization strategy will allow the City to track
scattered site housing units as a single strategy. This will enable the City to provide
housing opportunities to not only very-low to low-income families, but to other
families who earn between 80-120% of area median income. This will increase the
level of affordable housing units and thereby raise the income level of the
neighborhood and in the process create a mixed-income community. There are
several non-housing factors that cause a blighting influence on communities. They
range from vacant boarded structures, to crime, to lack of commercial/retail
activities. To help stimulate economic development opportunities within the North
Greenwood Neighborhood, the City took several measures to ensure that the
neighborhood would be stable. The City built an 8,000 square foot library and a
state-of-the-art aquatic/recreational center. In addition, the City provided roadway
enhancements on Martin Luther King Avenue from Seminole to Palm Bluff Avenue.
These were provided from non-federal resources.
The NRS includes two different neighborhoods – the North Greenwood Community
and South Greenwood Community. They both have their own goals and objectives.
The North Greenwood NRSA has identified the following strategies to improve their
neighborhood:
• Eliminate poor conditions of structures
• Remediate low-level contaminated sites
• Reverse declining property values
• Expand business opportunities
• Create new investment opportunities in the neighborhood
• Increase new job training and placement opportunities
• Reduce the unemployment rate
• Empower neighborhood residents to eliminate crime
• Strengthen coordination of community organizations in the redevelopment
effort
The Lake Belleview (f.k.a. South Greenwood) NRSA has the same general strategies
of the North Greenwood Area and has identified the following items as needed in
their community:
• Additional educational opportunities for businesses
• A new neighborhood training facility
• A new childcare facility
Attachment number 2
Page 33 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 34
• Job training opportunities
• A community library
• Additional new homes
• Better social services
• Better collaboration of existing organizations
• More crime awareness programs
The City has taken several steps over the years to address the strategies in the NRS.
Steps include developing a flexible code enforcement program, purchasing and
demolishing dilapidated buildings, working with local law enforcement to reduce
crime, funding outreach programs and providing loans to small businesses.
a. North Greenwood
Listed are the projects the City has completed in the North Greenwood NRSA.
• North Greenwood Branch Library - (2003)
• North Greenwood Recreation/Aquatic Complex - (2003)
• North Greenwood Apartments Renovation – (2003)
• North Greenwood Corridor Enhancements - (2006)
• North Greenwood Reclaimed Water - (2010)

In this reporting period, the City provided federal funding for several projects in the
North Greenwood NRSA. They include:
Public Service Willa Carson Community Health Center $25,000
Public Service Homeless Emergency Project – Operational $20,000
Public Facility Homeless Emergency Project – Office Development $150,000
TOTAL $195,000
The City is continuing their efforts to rehabilitate homes and develop infill housing in
the North Greenwood Area. For this reporting period the City provided funding for
one infill home and eight rehabilitation loans.
b. Lake Belleview/South Greenwood
The City is continuing their efforts to rehabilitate homes and develop infill housing in
the Lake Belleview Area. For this reporting period the City provided funding for two
infill housing loans, two down payment assistance loans, and one rehabilitation loan.
Ross Norton Recreation Complex – (2004) Utilizing $2.9 million in general funds, the
City built an aquatic/recreation complex, a skateboard park, a fishing pier on Lake
Belleview and new baseball fields.
In 2008, utilizing $200,000 raised from grants and corporate sponsors, the City
partnered with an international organization, Let Them Be Kids, to design and
construct a playground at the Ross Norton Recreation Complex.
Attachment number 2

Fifth Program Year CAPER 35
Lake Belleview Stormwater Improvement Project – (2010) Utilizing $1.8 million in
general funds, the City completed the Lake Belleview Stormwater Improvement
project that included major improvements to Lakeview Road.
In 2010, renovations were completed at the Ross Norton Baseball Fields to include
bullpens, sod, irrigation and the reworking of the pitching mounds.
In 2010, plans were being developed to install traffic calming devices throughout
South Greenwood per the request of the neighborhood to improve safety for
pedestrians.
c. East Gateway District
In 2002, the 260-acre Clearwater Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) was
expanded to encompass 201 acres that included the East Gateway District, a
distressed neighborhood that serves as the primary gateway to Clearwater’s central
business district and beaches. The expansion was viewed as a strategic approach to
revitalize East Gateway, leverage public-private partnerships for economic
development and housing, achieve stability in residential and business areas and
increase redevelopment potential.
The 176-acre East Gateway neighborhood is characterized by a mixed-land use
pattern of residential housing interspersed with pockets of poorly maintained rental
properties and outdated strip commercial developments. The commercial sector is
burdened with a declining business base, deteriorating infrastructure, a mismatch of
uses and vacant storefronts. The neighborhood struggles with code issues,
homelessness, high rental rates and a negative image of crime due to problematic
land uses and businesses. Significant decreases in traffic volumes, due to the
rerouting of a state road in 2005, have affected business activity in the neighborhood
and further emphasized the need for a targeted business development and
investment strategy.
The East Gateway Task Force, comprised of City staff, was formed in 2005 to
develop strategies to bring about positive change in the neighborhood. The Task
Force conducted a series of focus group meetings and neighborhood events in 2006
to gain an understanding of neighborhood issues, values and preferences. Input
received through the public process was used in developing the East Gateway District
Five-Year Action Program, which was adopted by the CRA on May 13, 2008. The
goals of the Action Program are to:
• Engage residents, businesses and other neighborhood interests in the creation
and implementation of the action program;
• Achieve neighborhood stability by addressing the social, economic and
physical issues that plague the area;
• Establish a unique and positive identity that instills neighborhood pride and
sense of ownership; and
• Revitalize the neighborhood to attract reinvestment in private property.
The Action Program focuses on the following emphasis areas: 1) Safety and Security:
2) Business Environment; 3) Neighborhood Appearance; 4) Economic Growth and
Housing; and 5) Hispanic Community integration. Generally, the Action Program will
be implemented through:
Attachment number 2
Page 35 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 36
• Application of applicable objectives, policies and design guidelines to
redevelopment projects during the site plan review process;
• Use of the Public Amenities Incentive Pool;
• Public strategies (e.g., Code revisions or new program to address a
neighborhood issue); and
• Capital improvements projects (public and private).
Action Program activities have been assigned to one of two timeframes for
implementation over the five-year program period–Years 1 - 2: FY 07/08-FY 08/09
and Years 3 - 5: FY 09/10-FY 11/12. For action items that address particularly
challenging issues (chronically homeless) or are highly dependent on outside forces
(real estate market), the timeframe to achieve the desired outcome may extend
beyond the five-year program period. Such occurrences will be assessed and
reported during the monitoring and evaluation process. On an annual basis, in
conjunction with the City budgeting process, actions items in the outer years (Years
3-5) will be moved into Years 1-2, as appropriate and feasible.
While the City provides leadership, technical capabilities and funding for Action
Program implementation, a partnership with community stakeholders is crucial to
achieving neighborhood goals. A Public Outreach and Communications Plan guide the
Task Force in engaging the diverse neighborhood interests in the revitalization
efforts. In late 2008, two community groups were organized – the East Gateway
Stakeholders Advisory Group (SAG) and the East Gateway Business and Neighbors
Association (BNA). The City is currently coordinating with the Hispanic Outreach
Center (HOC), a local social services agency, to capture input from Hispanic-Latino
residents through focus groups discussions.
The following accomplishments were noted during this reporting period in the East
Gateway NRSA:
• Acquired Carpro, an automotive repair shop, for environmental remediation
and future redevelopment
• Acquired the Economy Inn Motel and adjacent parcels (The Royal Palm Motel,
Viva Mexico Restaurant, two duplexes, and one single-family house) for future

13. Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA)
The City does not receive any HOPWA Funds.
14. MONITORING PLAN
All subrecipients will receive federal and local regulations relating to their specific
activity, along with an explanation as to how the regulations apply to their particular
project. Specific Performance Agreements will be executed with each subrecipient
giving measurable objectives for the eligible activity to be carried out. Each project is
monitored on an ongoing basis. Documentation submitted with reimbursement
requests are reviewed for compliance with applicable regulations and measurable
objectives prior to issuing funds.
On-site monitoring of selected subrecipients are scheduled and completed annually
by the Housing Manager. A checklist is completed and reviewed to insure all aspects
of the activities are carried out in accordance with applicable regulations.
In addition to the above documentation, any subrecipient needing and/or requesting
additional training on how to meet grantee and federal requirements will receive
technical assistance deemed most appropriate to the circumstances by the Assistant
Director of Economic Development or Housing Manager. Additional technical
assistance, if needed or requested, will be given at the time of the annual
monitoring.
Attachment number 2
Page 37 of 38
Fifth Program Year CAPER 38
The City uses a three step approach to monitor subrecipients. The first step begins
during the application process. Subrecipients provide the City with their goals,
objectives, budget and an Implementation Schedule. If funded, the goals, objectives,
budget and Implementation Schedule are included in the Subrecipient Agreement
with the City.
The second step is to provide the subrecipient with the format needed for the
Monthly Activity Report. The reports are completed and returned to the City
monthly. The Housing Division analyzes the reports and if the subrecipient is not
meeting its goals, technical assistance is provided. Subrecipients who provide
housing assistance are monitored on a loan-by-loan basis and approved by the City
prior to any loan closing to ensure compliance.
Lastly, the City provides direct monitoring of all subrecipients annually with new
agencies receiving two monitoring visits. The first visit takes place in July and
provides technical assistance to ensure the agency understands the compliance
process. The second visit takes place in September and is a detailed-monitoring visit
that utilizes an approved checklist.
During this reporting period, the City provided detailed monitoring of all
subrecipients. As a result of our monitoring efforts, one agency subrecipient
agreement was temporarily suspended. The City is offering technical assistance from
its Housing Division and Audit Department. The agency will not be allowed to
participate in the program until it meets compliance.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Award a contract (purchase order) to Fisher Scientific, Atlanta, Georgia, in an amount not to exceed $294,507.53 for the purchase of
personal protective equipment (PPE), in accordance with Sec. 2.564(b), Code of Ordinances – Sole source for City standardized
equipment and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The approved 2010 and 2011 CIP budgets included funding in a capital project for this purchase.
CIP project 91261, Personal Protective Equipment, provides funding for the purchase of replacement firefighting personal protective
equipment/gear (PPE). The department currently issues protective gear to those employees who are employed in a firefighting capacity.
This project is necessary to bring all fire/rescue personal gear up to the same level of protection per the National Fire Protection
Association 1852 compliance and incorporates the new gear into a revolving replacement schedule. The recommended life expectancy
of PPE is 4 to 5 years depending on use. This project will allow for a 4 to 5 year replacement plan and reduce the current cost of
maintenance and repair of our current PPE.
Funding will be partially reimbursed by Pinellas County, as the equipment will help serve any unincorporated resident of the Clearwater
Fire District.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Fire Chief to sign the World Trade Center Steel Transfer Agreement and accept a piece of steel from the Port Authority of
New York and New Jersey, located at John F. Kennedy International Airport, Hangar 17. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is permitted to transfer full and complete legal ownership of the attached list of items
currently located at John F. Kennedy International Airport, Hanger 17, known as the World Trade Center Artifacts.
The purpose of the letter (transfer agreement) is to confirm and memorialize the full and complete legal transfer by the Port Authority of
New York and New Jersey to Clearwater Fire and Rescue of that certain piece of steel of the former World Trade Center, identified as
G-0006 in the Port Authority’s World Trade Center Archive: Artifact Inventory Report of January 31, 2007 (the Steel). The Steel is
described as a steel tube, 36 in. L x 6 in. H and .75 in thick; steel tube with edge bent and torn; and with no visible identification marks
on the steel. The Steel can be cut into two pieces if requested and Clearwater Fire and Rescue agrees to accept the Steel as is.
The transfer agreement includes an indemnification clause, which holds neither the Commissioners of the Port Authority, nor any
director, officer, or employee thereof harmless from any expenses or personal liability occurring from the transfer.
Clearwater Fire and Rescue is responsible for all costs of the transportation to Clearwater, Florida.
Due to the size of the Steel, it could be shipped. The Port Authority is currently working with UPS trying to set up an exclusive contract
to have them arrange pickup and delivery of artifacts under 150 lbs. Estimated shipping cost is $200.00 or less. A second option is to
have someone pick it up and have it put on an airplane or in a vehicle for transportation to Clearwater, Florida. The Port Authority
would handle getting the artifact packed up for shipment.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Assignment and Assumption Agreement for external auditing services, with Kirkland, Russ, Murphy and Tapp (assignor) to
audit firm of Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. (assignee), for fiscal years ending September 30, 2010 thru 2014, and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
In August 2010, the City Council approved a five-year external auditing agreement with the firm recommended by the City's Audit
Committee - Kirkland, Russ, Murphy and Tapp (KRMT). Effective November 1, 2010, Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. purchased the
attest business of KRMT and CBIZ, Inc. purchased the non-attest business of KRMT.
CBIZ, Inc. and Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. have an alternative practice structure due to the fact that CBIZ, Inc., as a publicly held
corporation, cannot do attest work. Attest work must be performed by a firm owned by certified public accountants. Consequently, the
two companies are separate and independent legal entities that work together to serve clients' business needs.
The acquisition of KRMT is not expected to impact the services provided to the City of Clearwater. The audit team of KRMT staff, now
CBIZ and Mayer Hoffman McCann employees, remain in place and are expected to provide the same level and quality of service.
The City's Audit Committee recommends approval of the assignment of the audit agreement, with all terms and conditions
unchanged, to Mayer Hoffman McCann, P.C.

Meeting Date:12/13/2010
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Award a contract to Wise Gas, Inc. in the amount of $1,645,763 to construct a compressed natural gas refueling station; approve the
transfer of funds in the amount of $1,450,000 from project 315-96386 to 315-96387; approve the associated transfer of land from the
Airpark enterprise fund to the Gas System enterprise fund for the estimated current market value of $104,548.80; and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Clearwater Gas System (CGS) has partnered with the General Services/Solid Waste department to transition a portion of the City fleet
from gasoline/diesel to compressed natural gas (CNG). In order to accomplish this, the City must first construct a CNG fueling station
that has adequate capacity to refuel our vehicles in the same timeframe as gasoline/diesel fueling. The first classes of vehicles proposed
to utilize CNG are the Solid Waste refuse trucks. Initially 2-3 refuse trucks will be converted to CNG, then all new replacement trucks
will be purchased as dedicated CNG vehicles. Each refuse truck will save approximately $12,000 per year, based on an average diesel
price of $3 per gallon and natural gas at $1.36 per therm ($1.88 per diesel gallon equivalent); a savings of over $1 per diesel gallon. The
payback on each truck is approximately four (4) years on converted engines and less than one year on new dedicated CNG trucks.
Additional utility vehicles will be considered by General Services for conversion/purchase, based on payback.
The CNG fueling station will be located on Hercules Avenue, next to our existing natural gas gate station and in front of the Clearwater
Airpark facility. The CNG station will have two islands with two dispensers per island. Each dispenser will come with two refueling
hoses; therefore, a total of eight vehicles can refuel at the same time.
Wise Gas, Inc. was selected to construct the station based on their Request for Proposal (RFP 27-10) submittal.
Estimated costs are:
CNG equipment: $933,111
Construction: $563,037
Subtotal: $1,496,148
10% contingency: $149,615
Total Wise Gas: $1,645,763
Cardno TBE: $99,900 (environmental/site design)
Clearwater Airpark: $104,549 (land transfer)
Total $1,850,212
CGS has been awarded a State 50% matching grant fund, up to $450,000, for the purchase of CNG equipment. The State will issue
these funds to the City after the equipment is purchased. The first quarter budget amendments will recognize this grant funding in
project 315-96387.
CGS estimates the payback of the station at seven years, which is based on the eventual fueling of 45 refuse trucks and 30 utility
trucks/sedans. Payback will be enhanced if additional fleets outside the City of Clearwater decide to convert and start using our station,
which is anticipated.
Project code 315-96387 currently is funded at $200,000. After the first quarter transfer of $1.45 million from project code 315-96386
and after the grant reimbursement of up to $450,000, there will be approximately $250,000 remaining in the project for a security
system, signage and other contingency items outside the agreement with Wise Gas as well as for future conversions/purchases of Gas
System vehicles to operate on natural gas fuel. Project code 315-96386 will have approximately $728,000 remaining, which is
sufficient funding for the remaining marketing programs. Cover Memo

are complementary; what is called for by one is as binding as if called for by all. It is the intent of
the Contract Documents to describe a functionally complete project (or part thereof) to be
constructed in accordance with the Contract Documents. Any Work, materials or equipment
which may reasonably be inferred from the Contract Documents or from prevailing custom or
from trade usage as being required to produce the intended result will be furnished and
performed whether or not specifically called for. When words or phrases, which have a well-
known technical or construction industry or trade meaning, are used to describe Work, materials
or equipment, such words or phrases shall be interpreted in accordance with that meaning.
Clarifications and interpretations of the Contract Documents shall be issued by the Owner’s
Representative. Reference to standards, specifications, manuals or codes of any technical society,
organization or association, or to the code, Laws or Regulation of any governmental authority,
whether such reference be specific or by implication, shall mean the latest standard specification,
manual or code, or Laws or Regulations in effect at the time of opening of Bids except as may be
otherwise specifically stated in the Contract Documents. However, no provision of any
referenced standard specification, manual or code, whether or not specially incorporated by
reference in the responsibilities of Owner or Contractor as set forth in the Contract Documents,
shall change the duties and responsibilities of Owner, Contractor, Engineer or Owner’s
Representative, or any of their Agents or employees from those set forth in the Contract
Documents. Clarifications and interpretations of the Contract shall be issued by the Owner’s
Representative. Each and every provision of law and clause required by law to be inserted in
these Contract documents shall be deemed to be inserted herein, and they shall be read and
enforced as through it were included herein, and if through mistake or otherwise, any such
provision is not inserted, or if not correctly inserted, then upon the application of either party, the
Contract Documents shall forthwith be physically amended to make such insertion.
3.2 REPORTING AND RESOLVING DISCREPANCIES
If, during the performance of the Work, Contractor discovers any conflict, error, ambiguity or
discrepancy within the Contract Documents or between the Contract Documents and any
provision of any such Law or Regulation applicable to the performance of the Work or of any
such standard, specification, manual or code or of any instruction of any Supplier, Contractor
shall report it to the Owner’s Representative in writing at once, and Contractor shall not proceed
with the Work affected thereby (except in an emergency) until an amendment or supplement to
Contract Documents has been issued by one of the methods provided in these General
Specifications, provided however, that Contractor shall not be liable to Owner, or Owner’s
Representative for failure to report any such conflict, error, ambiguity or discrepancy unless
Contractor knew or reasonably should have known thereof.

The Owner shall furnish, as indicated in the Contract Documents, the lands upon which the
Work is to be Performed, rights-of-way, easements for access thereto, and such other lands
which are designated for the use of contractor. The Owner shall identify any encumbrances or
restrictions not of general application but specifically related to use of lands so furnished with
which contractor will have to comply in performing the Work. Easements for permanent
structures or permanent changes in existing facilities will be obtained and paid for by the Owner,
unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents.
4.2 INVESTIGATIONS AND REPORTS
Reference is made to the Supplementary Conditions and Technical Specifications for
identification of those reports of investigations and tests of subsurface and latent physical
conditions at the site or otherwise affecting cost, progress or performance of the Work which
have been relied upon by Engineer in preparation of the Drawings and Specifications. Such
reports are not guaranteed as to accuracy or completeness and are not part of the Contract
Documents. Contractor shall promptly notify the Owner’s Representative in writing of any
subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site, or in an existing structure, differing materially
from those indicated or referred to in the Contract Documents. Engineer will promptly review
those conditions and advise if further investigation or tests are necessary. Owner or Engineer
shall obtain the necessary additional investigations and tests and furnish copies to the Engineer
and Contractor. If Engineer finds that the results of such investigations or tests indicate that there
are subsurface or latent physical conditions, which differ materially from those, indicated in the
contract Documents, and which could not reasonably have been anticipated by Contractor, a
work change or Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions.
4.3 PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, UNDERGROUND FACILITIES
The information and data shown or indicated in the Contract Documents with respect to existing
Underground Facilities at or contiguous to the site is based on information and data furnished to
Owner or Engineer by the owners of such Underground Facilities or by others. Unless otherwise
expressly provided in the Contract Documents, Owner and Engineer shall not be responsible for
the accuracy or completeness of any such information or data; and the cost of all the following
will be included in the Contract Price and contractor shall have full responsibility for: (i)
reviewing and checking all such information and data, (ii) locating all Underground Facilities
shown or indicated in the Contract Documents, (iii) coordination of the Work with the owners of
such Underground Facilities during construction, and (iv) the safety and protection of all such
Underground Facilities and repairing any damage thereto resulting from the Work. The

in Engineer's judgment are necessary to enable Contractor to proceed with the Work. Contractor
shall be responsible for laying out the Work, shall protect and preserve the established reference
points and shall make no changes or relocations without the prior written approval of the Owner
and Engineer. Contractor shall report to Engineer whenever any reference point is lost or
destroyed or requires relocation because of necessary changes in grades or locations, and shall be
responsible for the accurate replacement or relocation of such reference points by a surveyor
licensed in the State of Florida. The Contractor is referred to the Technical Specifications for
more specific information regarding the provision of construction surveys. If a City survey crew
is assigned to the project and there is excessive stake replacement caused by negligence of
Contractor's forces after initial line and grade have been set, as determined by the Engineer, the
Contractor will be charged at the rate of $100.00 per hour. Time shall be computed for actual
time on the project. All time shall be computed in one-hour increments with a minimum charge
of one hour.

Bureau of Government Financial Operations, U.S. Treasury Department. All bonds signed by an
agent must be accompanied by a certified copy of such agents’ authority to act. All bonds shall
be deemed to contain all of the Conditions of Section 255.05, Florida Statutes, even if such
language is not directly contained within the bond and the Surety shall be licensed and qualified
to do business in the State of Florida. Owner reserves the right to reject any surety. If the Surety
on any Bond furnished by the Contractor is declared bankrupt or becomes insolvent or its right to
do business is terminated in any state where any part of the Project is located or it ceases to meet
the requirements of these Contract Documents, the Contractor shall within five days after notice
thereof substitute another Bond and surety, both of which must be acceptable to Owner.
5.2 INSURANCE
Contractor shall purchase and maintain such liability and other insurance as is appropriate for the
Work being performed and furnished and as will provide protection from claims set forth below
which may arise out of or result from Contractor's performance and furnishing of the Work and

appropriate agreement between Contractor and the Subcontractor or Supplier which specifically
binds the Subcontractor or Supplier to the applicable terms and conditions of the Contract

applicable Laws and Regulations, neither Owner nor Owner’s Representative shall be
responsible for monitoring Contractor's compliance with any Laws or Regulations. If Contractor
performs any work knowing or having reason to know that it is contrary to Laws or Regulations,
Contractor shall bear all claims, costs, losses and damages caused by or arising out of such work:
however, it shall not be Contractor's primary responsibility to make certain that the
Specifications and Drawings are in accordance with Laws and Regulations, but this shall not
relieve Contractor of Contractor's obligations to the Owner to report and resolve discrepancies as

and shall cause Subcontractors, to protect carefully the Work and materials against damage or
injury from the weather. If, in the opinion of the Owner’s Representative, any portion of Work or

other person or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of them to perform or furnish
any of the work or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, shall be remedied by
Contractor. Contractor's duties and responsibilities for safety and for protection of the Work shall
continue until such time as all the Work is completed and Engineer has issued a notice to Owner
and Contractor that the Work is acceptable.
6.10 EMERGENCIES
In emergencies affecting the safety or protection of persons or the Work or property at the site or
adjacent thereto, Contractor, with or without special instruction or authorization from Owner or
the Owner’s Representative, is obligated to act to prevent damage, injury or loss. Contractor
shall give Engineer prompt written notice if Contractor believes that any significant changes in
the Work or variations from the Contract Documents have been caused thereby. If the Owner’s

6.11 DRAWINGS
6.11.1 SHOP DRAWINGS, SAMPLES, RFIs, and SUBMITTAL REVIEW
Contractor shall submit Shop Drawings to Engineer for review and approval as called for in the
Technical Specifications or required by the Engineer. The data shown on the Shop Drawings will
be complete with respect to quantities, dimensions, specified performance and design criteria,
materials and similar data to show Engineer the materials and equipment Contractor proposes to
provide and to enable Engineer to review the information. Contractor shall also submit Samples
to Engineer for review and approval. Before submitting each Shop Drawing or Sample,
Contractor shall have determined and verified: (i) all field measurements, quantities, dimensions,
specified performance criteria, installation requirements, materials, catalog numbers and similar
information with respect thereto, (ii) all materials with respect to intended use, fabrication,
shipping, handling, storage, assembly and installation pertaining to the performance of the Work,
and (iii) all information relative to Contractor's sole responsibilities in respect to means,
methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of construction and safety precautions and
programs incident thereto. Contractor shall also have reviewed and coordinated each Shop
Drawing or Sample with other Shop Drawings and Samples with the requirements of the Work
and the Contract Documents. Each submittal will bear a stamp or specific written indication that
Contractor has satisfied Contractor's obligations under the Contract Documents with respect to
Contractor's review and approval of that submittal. At the time of submission, Contractor shall
give Engineer specific written notice of such variations, if any, that the Shop Drawing or Sample
submitted may have from the requirements of the Contract Documents, such notice to be in a
written communication separate from the submittal; and, in addition, shall cause a specific
notation to be made on each Shop Drawing and Sample submitted to Engineer for review and
approval of each such variation.
The Contractor shall maintain a submittal log as mentioned in Article 2.5. The Engineer and
Construction Services Department shall receive updated copies at each progress meeting, and the
Engineer shall respond to each submittal within twenty-one (21) consecutive calendar days. The
Contractor shall maintain a request for information (RFI) log as mentioned in Article 2.5. The
Engineer and Construction Services Department shall receive updated copies at each progress
meeting, and the Engineer shall respond to each RFI within twenty-one (21) consecutive
calendar days. The untimely submission of Submittal or RFIs shall not be grounds for a delay
claim from the Contractor.
Engineer's review and approval of Shop Drawings and Samples will be only to determine if the
items covered by the submittals will, after installation or incorporation in the Work, conform to
the information given in the Contract Documents and be compatible with the design concept of
the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated the Contract Documents. Engineer's
review and approval will not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of
construction (except where a particular means method, technique, sequence or procedure of
construction is specifically and expressly called for by the Contract Documents) or to safety
precautions or programs incident thereto. The review and approval of a separate item as such will
not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions. Contractor shall make
corrections required by Engineer, and shall return the required number of corrected copies of
Shop Drawings and submit as required new Samples for review and approval. Contractor shall
direct specific attention in writing to revisions other than the corrections called for by Engineer
on previous submittals.

Engineer's review and approval of Shop Drawings or Samples shall not relieve Contractor from
responsibility for any variation from the requirements of the Contract Documents unless
Contractor has in writing called Engineer's attention to each such variation at the time of
submission and Engineer has given written approval of each such variation by specific written
notation thereof incorporated in or accompanying the Shop Drawing or Sample approval; nor
will any approval by the Engineer relieve the Contractor from responsibility for complying with
the requirements of paragraph above discussing field measurements by the Contractor.
Contractor shall furnish required submittals with complete information and accuracy in order to
achieve required approval of an item within two (2) submittals. Owner’s Representative reserves
the right to backcharge Contractor, for Engineer’s costs for resubmittals that account for a
number greater than twenty percent (20%) of the total number of first time submittals. Owner’s
Representative reserves the right to backcharge Contractor for all third submittals. The number
of first time submittals shall be equal to the number of submittals agreed to by Engineer and
Contractor. All costs to Engineer involved with subsequent submittal of Shop Drawings,
Samples or other items requiring approval will be backcharged to Contractor at the rate of 3.0
times direct technical labor cost by deducting such costs from payments due Contractor for Work
completed. In the event that Contractor requests a substitution for a previously approved item, all
of Engineer’s costs in the reviewing and approval of the substitution will be backcharged to
Contractor, unless the need for such substitution is beyond the control of Contractor.
6.11.2 AS-BUILT DRAWINGS
The Contractor shall keep and maintain one set of blueprints, As-Built Drawings, in good order
and legible condition to be continuously marked-up at the job site. The Contractor shall mark and

responsibility, and the amount of each applicable Bond will be adjusted accordingly.
11 CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT PRICE
11.1 CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT PRICE
The Contract Price constitutes the total compensation (subject to authorized adjustments)
payable to Contractor for performing the Work. All duties, responsibilities and obligations
assigned to or undertaken by Contractor shall be at Contractor's expense without change in the
Contract Price. The Contract Price may only be adjusted by a Change Order or by a Written
Amendment. Any claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price shall be based on a written notice
of claim stating the general nature of the claim, to be delivered by the party making the claim to
the other party and to Owner’s Representative or promptly (but in no event later than thirty days)
after the start of the occurrence or event giving rise to the claim. Notice of the amount of the
claim with supporting data shall be delivered within sixty (60) days after the start of such
occurrence or event, unless Owner’s Representative allows additional time for claimant to
submit additional or more accurate data in support of the claim, and shall be accompanied by
claimant's written statement that the claimed adjustment covers all known amounts to which the
claimant is entitled as a result of said occurrence or event. No claim for an adjustment in the
Contract Price will be valid if not submitted in accordance with this paragraph. The value of any
Work covered by a Change Order or of any claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price will be
determined as follows: (i) where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the
Contract Documents, by application of such unit prices to the quantities of the items involved (ii)
where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, by
a mutually agreed lump sum (which may include an allowance for overhead and profit), (iii)
where the Work is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents and
agreement is reached to establish unit prices for the Work.
Where the work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents and
where the Owner’s Representative, the Owner, the Engineer, the Engineer's Consultant, and
Contractor cannot mutually agree on a lump sum price, the City of Clearwater shall pay for
directed changes in the WORK, on “COST REIMBURSEMENT” basis. The Contractor shall

Section III – General Conditions
PDFConvertPROD.13579.1.SectionIII_REV2.doc Page 30 of 47 12/6/2010
apply for compensation, detailing Contractors forces, materials, equipment, subcontractors, and
other items of direct costs required for the directed work.
The application for Cost Reimbursement shall be limited to the following items:
1. Labor, including foremen, for those hours associated with the direct work (actual
payroll cost, including wages, fringe benefits, labor insurance and labor taxes
established by law). Expressly excluded from this item are all costs associated with
negotiating the subject change.
2. Materials associated with the change, including sales tax. The costs of materials shall
be substantiated through vendors’ invoices.
3. Rental or equivalent rental costs of equipment, including necessary transportation
costs if specifically used for the WORK. The rental rates shall not exceed the current
rental rates prevailing in the locality or as defined in the rental Rate Blue Book for
Construction Equipment (a.k.a. DataQuest Blue Book). The rental rate is defined as
the full-unadjusted base rental rate for the appropriate item of construction equipment
and shall cover the costs of all fuel, supplies, repairs, insurance, and other costs
associated with supplying the equipment for work ordered. Contractor-owned
equipment will be paid for the duration of time required to complete the work. Utilize
lowest cost combination of hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly rates. Do not exceed
estimated operating costs given in Blue Book. Operating costs will not be allowed for
equipment on stand-by.
4. Additional costs for Bonds, Insurance if required by the City of Clearwater.
The following fixed fees shall be added to the costs of the directed work performed
by the Contractor or Subcontractor.
A. A fixed fee of fifteen percent (15%) shall be added to the costs of Item 1 above. If
work is performed by a subcontractor, the Contractor’s fee shall not exceed five
percent (5%), and the subcontractor’s fee shall not exceed ten percent (10%).
B. A fixed fee of ten percent (10%) shall be added to the costs of Item 2 above.
C. No markup shall be added to the costs of Items 3 and 4.
The fixed fees shall be considered the full compensation for all cost of general
supervision, overhead, profit, and other general expense.
11.2 ALLOWANCES AND FINAL CONTRACT PRICE ADJUSTMENT
It is understood that Contractor has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the
Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered to be furnished and performed for such
sums as may be acceptable to Owner and Engineer. Contractor agrees that: (i) the allowances
include the cost to Contractor (less any applicable trade discounts) of materials and equipment
required by the allowances to be delivered at the Site, and all applicable taxes; and (ii)
Contractor's costs for unloading and handling on the site, labor, installation costs, overhead,
profit and other expenses contemplated for the allowances have been included in the Contract
Price and not in the allowances and no demand for additional payment on account of any of the
foregoing will be valid.
Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as recommended by Owner’s
Representative to reflect actual amounts due Contractor on account of Work covered by
Attachment number 2
Page 33 of 50
Section III – General Conditions
PDFConvertPROD.13579.1.SectionIII_REV2.doc Page 31 of 47 12/6/2010
allowances and all the Work actually performed by the Contractor, and the Contract Price shall
be correspondingly adjusted.
11.3 PERCENTAGE WORK
Contractor has taken care to accurately calculate the Scheduled Value of each item that shall
constitute the Work as reflected in the Bid Tabulation, which is incorporated in Section IV 1.1
(Scope of Work). The Scheduled Value for each unit accounts for Contractor’s anticipated
overhead costs and profit margins for that particular unit. Where the Contract Documents require
that all or part of the Work be done on a Percentage basis, the Scheduled Value will hold
precedent, not the units utilized (or not) in connection with the work. The Contract Price has
been calculated based upon the Scheduled Value for each unit pursuant to RFP 27-10, any
changes to the scope of the work outside of what was contemplated within the aforementioned
RFP, whether on a Percentage basis, must be effectuated via change order.
12 CHANGES IN THE CONTRACT TIME
The Contract Time (or Milestones) may only be changed by a Change Order or a Written
Amendment. Any claim for an adjustment of the Contract Time (or Milestones) shall be based on
written notice delivered by the party making the claim to the other party and to Owner’s
Representative promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days, after the occurrence of the
event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of the claim. Notice of the extent of
the claim with supporting data shall be delivered within sixty (60) days after such occurrence,
unless Owner’s Representative allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate
data in support of the claim, and shall be accompanied by the claimant's written statement that
the adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which the claimant has reason to believe it is
entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in the Contract
Time (or Milestones) shall be determined by Owner’s Representative. No claim for an
adjustment in the Contract Time (or Milestones) will be valid if not submitted in accordance with
the requirements of this paragraph.
All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Agreement.
Where Contractor is prevented from completing any part of the work within the Contract Time
(or Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of Contractor, the Contract Time (or Milestones)
may be extended in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay if a claim is made
therefore as provided in the article for Changes in the
Work. Delays beyond the control of Contractor shall include, but not be limited to, acts by the
Owner, acts of utility owners or other contractors performing other work as contemplated by the
article for Other Work, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions or acts of God.
Delays attributable to and within the control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be
delays within the control of Contractor.
Where Contractor is prevented from completing any part of the Work within the Contract Times
(or Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of both the Owner and Contractor, an extension
of the Contract Time (or Milestones) in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay shall
be Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy for such delay. In no event shall the Owner be liable
to Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other person, or to any surety for or
employee or agent of any of them, for damages arising out of or resulting from (i) delays caused
by or within the control of Contractor, or (ii) delays beyond the control of both parties including
but not limited to fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions, acts of God or acts by

utility owners or other contractors performing other work as contemplated by paragraph for
Other Work.
13 TESTS AND INSPECTIONS, CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR
ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK
13.1 TESTS AND INSPECTION
Contractor shall give Owner’s Representative and Engineer timely notice of readiness of the
Work for all required inspections, tests or approvals, and shall cooperate with inspection and
testing personnel to facilitate required inspections or tests.
Contractor shall employ and pay for the services of an independent testing laboratory to perform
all inspections, tests, or approvals required by the Contract Documents. The costs for these
inspections, tests or approvals shall be borne by the Contractor except as otherwise provided in
the Contract Documents.
If Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction require any Work (or part thereof)
specifically to be inspected, tested or approved by an employee or other representative of such
public body including all Owner Building Departments and Owner Utility Departments,
Contractor shall assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such inspections, tests or
approvals, pay all costs in connection therewith, and furnish Owner’s Representative the required
certificates of inspection or approval. Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, Owner
permit and impact fees will be waived. Contractor shall also be responsible for arranging and
obtaining and shall pay all costs in connection with any inspections, tests or approvals required
for Owner's and Engineer's acceptance of materials or equipment to be incorporated in the Work,
or of materials, mix designs, or equipment submitted for approval prior to Contractor's purchase
thereof for incorporation of the Work.
If any Work (or the work of others) that is to be inspected tested or approved is covered by
Contractor without written concurrence of Owner’s Representative, it must, if requested by
Owner’s Representative, be uncovered for observation. Uncovering Work as provided in this
paragraph shall be at Contractor's expense unless Contractor has given Owner’s Representative
and Engineer timely notice of Contractor's intention to cover the same and Owner’s
Representative has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice.
13.2 UNCOVERING THE WORK
If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of Owner’s Representative, it must, if
requested by Owner’s Representative, be uncovered for Owner Representative’s observation and
replaced at Contractor's expense.
If Owner’s Representative considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by
Owner’s Representative or inspected or tested by others, Contractor, at Owner Representative’s
request, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation, inspection or testing
as Engineer or Owner’s Representative may require, that portion of the Work in question,
furnishing all necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective,
Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses and damages caused by, arising out of or resulting
from such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection and testing and of satisfactory
replacement or reconstruction (including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of
work of others); and the Owner shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price
Attachment number 2

Section III – General Conditions
PDFConvertPROD.13579.1.SectionIII_REV2.doc Page 33 of 47 12/6/2010
for the costs of the investigation, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof,
may make a claim therefore as provided in the article for Change in Contract Price. If, however,
such Work is not found to be defective, Contractor shall be allowed an increase in the Contract
Price or an extension of the Contract Time (or Milestones), or both, directly attributable to such
uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing, replacement and reconstruction; and, if
the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof, Contractor may make a claim
therefore as provided the article for Change in Contract Price and Change of Contract Time.
13.3 OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE MAY STOP THE WORK
If the Work is defective, or Contractor fails to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable
materials or equipment, or fails to furnish or perform the Work in such a way that the completed
Work will conform to the Contract Documents, Engineer or Owner’s Representative may order
Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been
eliminated; however, this right of Owner’s Representative to stop the Work shall not give rise to
any duty on the part of Owner’s Representative or Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of
Contractor or any surety or other party. If the Owner’s Representative stops Work under this
paragraph, Contractor shall be entitled to no extension of Contract Time or increase in Contract
Price.
13.4 CORRECTION OR REMOVAL OF DEFECTIVE WORK
If required by Engineer or Owner’s Representative, Contractor shall promptly, as directed, either
correct all defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed or completed, or, if the Work has
been rejected by Engineer or Owner’s Representative, remove it from the site and replace it with
Work that is not defective. Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses and damages caused by
or resulting from such correction or removal (including but not limited to all costs of repair or
replacement of work of others).
13.5 WARRANTY/CORRECTION PERIOD
If within one year after the date of Substantial Completion or such longer period of time as may
be prescribed by Laws or Regulations or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee
required by the Contract Documents or by any specific provision of the Contract Documents, any
Work is found to be defective, Contractor shall promptly, without cost to the Owner and in
accordance with the Owner’s written instructions; (i) correct such defective Work, or, if it has
been rejected by the Owner, remove it from the site and replace it with Work that is not defective
and (ii) satisfactorily correct or remove and replace any damage to other Work or the work of
others resulting therefrom. If Contractor does not promptly comply with the terms of such
instructions, or in an emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, the
Owner may have the defective Work corrected or the rejected. Work removed and replaced, and
all claims, costs, losses and damages caused by or resulting from such removal and replacement
(including but not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others) will be paid by
Contractor.
In special circumstances where a particular item of equipment is placed in continuous service
before Final Completion of all the Work, the correction period for that item may start to run from
an earlier date if specifically and expressly so provided in the Specifications or by Written
Amendment.
Attachment number 2

Section III – General Conditions
PDFConvertPROD.13579.1.SectionIII_REV2.doc Page 34 of 47 12/6/2010
Where defective Work (and damage to other Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected,
removed or replaced under this paragraph the correction period hereunder with respect to such
Work will be extended for an additional period of one year after such correction or removal and
replacement has been satisfactorily completed.
13.6 ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK
If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, the Owner
prefers to accept it, the Owner may do so.
Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses and damages attributable to the Owner’s evaluation
of and determination to accept such defective Work such costs to be approved by Owner’s
Representative as to reasonableness. If any such acceptance occurs prior to Owner
Representative’s recommendation of final payment, a Change Order will be issued incorporating
the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and the Owner shall
be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree
as to the amount thereof, the Owner may make a claim therefore as provided in article for
Change of Contract Price. If the acceptance occurs after the Owner Representative’s
recommendation for final payment an appropriate amount will be paid by Contractor to the
Owner.
13.7 OWNER MAY CORRECT DEFECTIVE WORK
If Contractor fails within a reasonable time after written notice from Owner’s Representative to
correct defective Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by Owner’s
Representative in accordance with the article for Correction and Removal of Defective Work or
if Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if
Contractor fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, the Owner may,
after seven days' written notice to Contractor, correct and remedy any such deficiency. In
exercising the rights and remedies under this paragraph the Owner shall proceed expeditiously.
In connection with such corrective and remedial action, the Owner may exclude Contractor from
all or part of the site, take possession of all or part of the Work, and suspend Contractor's
services related thereto, and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the
site or for which the Owner has paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere. Contractor shall
allow Owner, Owner’s Representatives, Agents and employees, the Owner’s other contractors,
and Owner’s Representative, Engineer, and Engineer's Consultants access to the site to enable
the Owner to exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph. All claims, costs, losses and
damages incurred or sustained by the Owner in exercising such rights and remedies will be
charged against Contractor and a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary
revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and the Owner shall be entitled to
an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the
amount thereof, the Owner may make a claim therefore as provided in the article for Change of
Contract Price. Such claims, costs, losses and damages will include but not be limited to all costs
of repair or replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal or
replacement of Contractor's defective Work. Contractor shall not be allowed an extension of the
Contract Time (or Milestones) because of any delay in the performance of the Work attributable
to the exercise by the Owner of the Owner’s rights and remedies hereunder.

14 PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION
Requests for payment shall be processed in accordance with F.S. 218.735 and as described
herein. Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units
completed.
14.1 APPLICATION FOR PROGRESS PAYMENT
10% of the cost of the Work ($563,037 * 10% = $ 56,304.00) is due at execution of this contract
to complete the design/construction portion of the Work, and is necessary prior to the beginning
of construction. Thereafter, Contractor shall submit (not more often than once a month) to
Owner’s Representative for review an Application for Payment filled out and signed by
Contractor covering the Work completed as of the 25th of each month and accompanied by such
supporting documentation as is required by the Owner’s Representative and the Contract
Documents. Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, payment will not be made for
materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work. Payment will only be made for that
portion of the Work, which is fully installed including all materials, labor and equipment. A
retainage of not less than five (5%) of the amount of each Application for Payment for the total
of all Work, including as-built survey and Inspector overtime reimbursement, completed to date
will be held until final completion and acceptance of the Work covered in the Contract
Documents. No progress payment shall be construed to be acceptance of any portion of the Work
under contract.
The Contractor shall review with the Engineer or the Construction Inspector all quantities and
work for which payment is being applied for and reach agreement prior to submittal of an
Official Pay Request. The Engineer or the Construction Inspector will verify that the on-site
marked up as-built drawings are up to date with the work and are in compliance with the
Contract Documents.
In addition to all other payment provisions set out in this contract, the Owner’s Representative
may require the Contractor to produce for Owner, within fifteen (15) days of the approval of any
progress payment, evidence and/or payment affidavit that all subcontractors and suppliers have
been paid any sum or sums then due. A failure on the part of the contractor to provide the report
as required herein shall result in further progress or partial payments being withheld until the
report is provided.
Due to nature of the equipment manufacturing processes for CNG equipment, it is necessary to
facilitate and differentiate the payment schedule for the equipment design / fabrication from the
Work, as follows:
A. 40% of the cost of the Equipment Package is due at execution of this CONTRACT to
get the equipment ordered and built ($933,111* 40% = $373,244.00);
B. 40% of the cost of the Equipment Package is due upon the complete assemblage of the
equipment prior to shipment;
($933,111 * 40% = $373,244.00);
C. 10% of the cost of the Equipment Package is due upon issuance of Certificate of Use;
($933,111 * 10% = $ 93,311.00);
D. 10% of the cost of the Equipment Package is due 90 days after issuance of Certificate
of Use and upon acceptance of all equipment

(Balance - $ 93,312.00)
14.2 CONTRACTOR'S WARRANTY OF TITLE
Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment covered by
any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to the Owner
no later than the time of payment, free and clear of liens. No materials or supplies for the Work
shall be purchased by Contractor or Subcontractor subject to any chattel mortgage or under a
conditional sale contact or other agreement by which an interest is retained by the seller.
Contractor warrants that he has good title to all materials and supplies used by him in the Work,
free from all liens, claims or encumbrances. Contractor shall indemnify and save the Owner
harmless from all claims growing out of the lawful demands of Subcontractors, laborers,
workmen, mechanics, materialmen, and furnisher's of machinery and parts thereof, equipment,
power tools, and all supplies incurred in the furtherance of the performance of this Contract.
Contractor shall at the Owner’s request, furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the
nature hereinabove designated have been paid, discharged, or waived. If Contractor fails to do
so, then the Owner may, after having served written notice on said Contractor either pay unpaid
bills, of which the Owner has written notice, or withhold from the Contractor’s unpaid
compensation a sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful
claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged,
whereupon payment to Contractor shall be resumed in accordance with the terms of this
Contract, but in no event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose any
obligations upon the Owner to the Contractor or the Surety. In paying any unpaid bills of the
Contractor, the Owner shall be deemed the agent of Contractor and any payment so made by the
Owner shall be considered as payment made under the Contract by the Owner to Contractor, and
the Owner shall not be liable to Contractor for any such payment made in good faith.
14.3 REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS FOR PROGRESS PAYMENTS
The Owner’s Representative will within twenty (20) business days after receipt authorize and
process payment by the Owner a properly submitted and documented Application for payment,
unless the application requires review by an Agent. If the Application for payment requires
review and approval by an Agent, properly submitted and documented Applications for payment
will be paid by the Owner within twenty-five (25) business days. If an Application for payment
is rejected, notice shall be given within twenty (20) business days of receipt indicating the
reasons for refusing payment. The reasons for rejecting an Application will be submitted in
writing, specifying deficiencies and identifying actions that would make the Application proper.
In the latter case, Contractor may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application.
The Owner’s Representative or Agent may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any
payment to Owner. Owner’s Representative or Agent may also refuse to recommend any such
payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent
inspections or test, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extent as may be
necessary in Owner Representative's or Agent’s opinion to protect the Owner from loss because:
(i) the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or
replacement, (ii) the Contract Price has been reduced by amendment or Change Order, (iii) the
Owner has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work, or (iv) Owner’s
Representative or Agent has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated
in the article on Suspension of Work and Termination.
Attachment number 2
Page 39 of 50
Section III – General Conditions
PDFConvertPROD.13579.1.SectionIII_REV2.doc Page 37 of 47 12/6/2010
The Owner may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by the Owner’s
Representative or Agent because: (i) claims have been made against the Owner on account of
Contractor's performance or furnishing of the Work, (ii) Liens have been filed in connection with
the Work, except where Contractor has delivered a specific Bond satisfactory to the Owner to
secure the satisfaction and discharge of such Liens, (iii) there are other items entitling the Owner
to a set-off against the amount recommended, or (iv) the Owner has actual knowledge of any of
the events described in this paragraph. The Owner shall give Contractor notice of refusal to pay
in accordance with the time constraints of this section with a copy to the Owner’s Representative
or Agent, stating the reasons for such actions, and Owner shall promptly pay Contractor the
amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by the Owner and Contractor, when
Contractor corrects to the Owner’s satisfaction the reasons for such action.
14.4 PARTIAL UTILIZATION
Use by the Owner at the Owner’s option of any substantially completed part of the Work which
(i) has specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or (ii) Owner, Engineer, Owner’s
Representative, and Contractor agree constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the
Work that can be used by the Owner for its intended purpose without significant interference
with Contractor's performance of the remainder of the Work, may be accomplished prior to Final
Completion of all the Work subject to the following:
The Owner at any time may request Contractor in writing to permit the Owner to use any such
part of the Work which the Owner believes to be ready for its intended use and substantially
complete. If Contractor agrees that such part of the Work is substantially complete, Contractor
will certify to Owner, Owner’s Representative, and Engineer that such part of the Work is
substantially complete and request Owner’s Representative to issue a certificate of Substantial
Completion for that part of the Work. Contractor at any time may notify Owner, Owner’s
Representative, and Engineer in writing that Contractor considers any such part of the Work
ready for its intended use and substantially complete and request Owner’s Representative to
issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. Within a reasonable time
after either such request, Owner, Contractor, Owner’s Representative, and Engineer shall make
an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If Engineer does not
consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, Engineer will notify Owner, Owner’s
Representative, and Contractor in writing giving the reasons therefore. If Engineer considers that
part of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of the articles for Substantial
Completion and Partial Utilization will apply with respect to certification of Substantial
Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and
access thereto.
14.5 FINAL INSPECTION
Upon written notice from Contractor that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is
complete, Owner’s Representative will make a final inspection with Engineer, Owner and
Contractor and will within thirty (30) days notify Contractor in writing of particulars in which
this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective. The Owner’s Representative will
produce a final punch list, deliver it to the Contractor within five (5) days of completion and
assign a date for this work to be completed not less than thirty (30) days from delivery of the list.
Failure to include any corrective work or pending items does not alter the responsibility of the
contractor to complete all the construction services purchased pursuant to the contract.
Attachment number 2
Page 40 of 50
Section III – General Conditions
PDFConvertPROD.13579.1.SectionIII_REV2.doc Page 38 of 47 12/6/2010
Contractor shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to complete such Work or
remedy such deficiencies.
14.6 FINAL APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT
After Contractor has completed all such corrections to the satisfaction of Owner’s Representative
and has delivered in accordance with the Contract Documents all maintenance and operating
instructions, As-built/Record Drawings, schedules, guarantees, Bonds, certificates or other
evidence of insurance required by the paragraph for Bonds and Insurance, certificates of
inspection, Inspector overtime reimbursement as required in the Contract Documents and other
documents, Contractor may make application for final payment following the procedure for
progress payments. The final Application for Payment shall be accompanied (except as
previously delivered) by: (i) all documentation called for in the Contract Documents, including
but not limited to the evidence of insurance required by paragraph for Bonds and Insurance, (ii)
consent of the surety, if any or if necessary, to final payment, and (iii) complete and legally
effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to the Owner) of all Liens arising out of or filed in
connection with the Work. In lieu of such releases or waivers of Liens and as approved by the
Owner, Contractor may furnish receipts or releases in full and an affidavit of Contractor that: (i)
the releases and receipts include all labor, services, material and equipment for which a Lien
could be filed, and (ii) all payrolls, material and equipment bills and other indebtedness
connected with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner’s property might in any way be
responsible have been paid or otherwise satisfied. If any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to
furnish such a release or receipt in full, Contractor may furnish a Bond or other collateral
satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify the Owner against any Lien.
Prior to application for final payment, Contractor shall clean and remove from the premises all
surplus and discarded materials, rubbish, and temporary structures, and shall restore in an
acceptable manner all property, both public and private, which has been damaged during the
prosecution of the Work, and shall leave the Work in a neat and presentable condition.
14.7 FINAL PAYMENT AND ACCEPTANCE
If through no fault of Contractor, final completion of the Work is significantly delayed and if
Owner’s Representative so confirms, the Owner shall, upon receipt of Contractor's final
Application for payment and recommendation of Owner’s Representative, and without
terminating the Agreement, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully
completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to be held by the Owner for Work not fully
completed or corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in the Agreement, and if Bonds have
been furnished as required in paragraph for Bonds and Insurance, the written consent of the
surety to the payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and
accepted shall be submitted by Contractor to Owner’s Representative with the Application for
such payment. Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final
payment, except that such payment shall not constitute a waiver of claims.
If on the basis of Owner Representative’s observation of the Work during construction and final
inspection, and Owner Representative’s review of the final Application for Payment and
accompanying documentation, all as required by the Contract Documents, Owner’s
Representative is satisfied that the Work has been completed and Contractor's other obligations
under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled, Owner’s Representative will indicate in
writing his recommendation of payment and present the Application to Owner for payment.
Thereupon, Owner’s Representative will give written notice to Owner and Contractor that the
Attachment number 2
Page 41 of 50
Section III – General Conditions
PDFConvertPROD.13579.1.SectionIII_REV2.doc Page 39 of 47 12/6/2010
Work is acceptable subject to the provisions of this article. Otherwise, Owner’s Representative
will return the Application to Contractor, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to
recommend final payment, in which case Contractor shall make the necessary corrections and
resubmit the Application. If the Application and accompanying documentation are appropriate as
to form and substance, the Owner shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt thereof pay
contractor the amount recommended by Owner’s Representative.
14.8 WAIVER OF CLAIMS
The making and acceptance of final payment will constitute: a waiver of all claims by the Owner
against Contractor, except claims arising from unsettled Liens, from defective Work appearing
after final inspection, from failure to comply with the Contract Documents or the terms of any
special guarantees specified therein, or from Contractor's continuing obligations under the
Contract Documents; and a waiver of all claims by Contractor against the Owner other than
those previously made in writing and still unsettled.
15 SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION
15.1 OWNER MAY SUSPEND THE WORK
At any time and without cause, Owner’s Representative may suspend the Work or any portion
thereof for a period of not more than ninety (90) days by notice in writing to Contractor, which
will fix the date on which Work will be resumed. Contractor shall resume the Work on the date
so fixed. Contractor shall be allowed an adjustment in the Contract Price or an extension of the
Contract Times, or both, directly attributable to any such suspension if Contractor makes an
approved claim therefore as provided in the articles for Change of Contract Price and Change of
Contract Time.
15.2 OWNER MAY TERMINATE
Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events; if Contractor persistently fails
to perform the work in accordance with the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to,
failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or failure to adhere
to the progress schedule as adjusted from time to time);
if Contractor disregards Laws and Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction;
if Contractor disregards the authority of Owner’s Representative;
if Contractor otherwise violates in any substantial way any provisions of the Contract
Documents; or if the Work to be done under this Contract is abandoned, or if this
Contract or any part thereof is sublet, without the previous written consent of the
Owner, or if the Contract or any claim thereunder is assigned by Contractor otherwise
than as herein specified, or at any time Owner’s Representative certifies in writing to
the Owner that the rate of progress of the Work or any part thereof is unsatisfactory or
that the work or any part thereof is unnecessarily or unreasonably delayed.
The Owner may, after giving Contractor (and the surety, if any), seven days' written notice and,
to the extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, terminate the services of Contractor, exclude
Contractor from the site and take possession of the Work and of all Contractor's tools,
appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the site and use the same to the full extent
they could be used by Contractor (without liability to Contractor for trespass or conversion),
Attachment number 2

incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which the Owner has
paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere, and finish the Work as the Owner may deem
expedient. In such case Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the
Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds all claims, costs, losses and
damages sustained by the Owner arising out of or resulting from completing the Work such
excess will be paid to Contractor.
If such claims, costs, losses and damages exceed such unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the
difference to the Owner. Such claims, costs, losses and damages incurred by the Owner will be
reviewed by Owner’s Representative as to their reasonableness and when so approved by
Owner’s Representative incorporated in a Change Order, provided that when exercising any
rights or remedies under this paragraph the Owner shall not be required to obtain the lowest price
for the Work performed.
Where Contractor's services have been so terminated by the Owner, the termination will not
affect any rights or remedies of the Owner against Contractor then existing or which may
thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys due Contractor by the Owner will not
release Contractor from liability.
Upon seven (7) days' written notice to Contractor and Owner’s Representative, the Owner may,
without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Owner, elect to terminate
the Agreement. In such case, Contractor shall be paid (without duplication of any items):
for completed and acceptable Work executed in accordance with the Contract
Documents prior to the effective date of termination, including fair and reasonable
sums for overhead and profit on such Work;
for expenses sustained prior to the effective date of termination in performing services
and furnishing labor, materials or equipment as required by the Contract Documents in
connection with uncompleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and
profit on such expenses;
for all claims, costs, losses and damages incurred in settlement of terminated contracts
with Subcontractors, Suppliers and others; and for reasonable expenses directly
attributable to termination.
Contractor shall not be paid on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other
economic loss arising out of or resulting from such termination.
15.3 CONTRACTOR MAY STOP WORK OR TERMINATE
If, through, no act or fault of Contractor, the Work is suspended for a period of more than ninety
(90) days by the Owner or under an order of court or other public authority, or the Owner’s
Representative fails to act on any Application for Payment within thirty (30) days after it is
submitted or the Owner fails for thirty (30) days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to
be due, then Contractor may, upon seven (7) days' written notice to the Owner and Owner’s
Representative, and provided the Owner or Owner’s Representative does not remedy such
suspension or failure within that time, terminate the Agreement and recover from the Owner
payment on the same terms as provided in the article for the Owner May Terminate. However, if
the Work is suspended under an order of court through no fault of Owner, the Contractor shall
not be entitled to payment except as the Court may direct. In lieu of terminating the Agreement
and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if Owner’s Representative has failed to act
on an Application for Payment within thirty (30) days after it is submitted, or the Owner has
Attachment number 2

Section III – General Conditions
PDFConvertPROD.13579.1.SectionIII_REV2.doc Page 41 of 47 12/6/2010
failed for thirty (30) days to pay Contractor any sum finally determined to be due, Contractor
may upon seven (7) day's written notice to the Owner and Owner’s Representative stop the Work
until payment of all such amounts due Contractor. The provisions of this article are not intended
to preclude Contractor from making claim under paragraphs for Change of Contract Price or
Change of Contract Time or otherwise for expenses or damage directly attributable to
Contractor's stopping Work as permitted by this article.
16 DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If and to the extent that the Owner and Contractor have agreed on the method and procedure for
resolving disputes between them that may arise under this Agreement, such dispute resolution
method and procedure will proceed. If no such agreement on the method and procedure for
resolving such disputes has been reached, subject to the provisions of the article for Decisions on

OSHA "Type C". The Contractor's attention is called to specific requirements of OSHA for
excavation shoring, employee entry, location of excavated material adjacent to excavation, the
removal of water from the excavation, surface encumbrances and in particular the requirement of
a "Competent Person” to control safety operations. The Contractor will identify his Competent
Person to City staff at the start of construction.
City staff are required from time to time to perform inspections, tests, survey location work, or
other similar activity in an excavation prepared by the contractor. City staff in conformance with
the OSHA Excavation Safety Requirements are to only enter an excavation in compliance with
these OSHA standards. The City's staff reserve the option to refuse entry into the Contractor's
excavation if, in the opinion of the City's staff, the entry into the Contractor's excavation is
unsafe or does not conform OSHA requirements. If this circumstance occurs, the contractor must
either provide the necessary safety requirements or provide alternate means for the
accomplishment of the City's work at the Contractor's expense.
The restoration quantities, if any, contained in the bid proposal for this contract to not contain
sufficient quantities to allow the contractor to perform excavation work using strictly the "open
cut" method whereby no shoring systems are used and trench side slopes are cut to conform to
OSHA safety requirements without a shoring system. In addition to safety reasons, the
Contractor is required to use excavation and trench-shoring methods in compliance with all
safety requirements which allow the Contractor to control the amount of restoration work
necessary to complete the project.
Not more than one hundred (100) feet of trench shall be opened at one time in advance of the
completed work unless written permission is received from the Engineer for the distance

specified. For pipe installation projects, the trench shall be six (6) inches wider on each side than
the greatest external horizontal width of the pipe or conduit, including hubs, intended to be laid
in them. The bottom of the trench under each pipe joint shall be slightly hollowed, to allow the
body of the pipe to rest throughout its length. In case a trench is excavated at any place,
excepting at joints, below the grade of its bottom as given, or directed by the Engineer, the filling
and compaction to grade shall be done in such manner as the Engineer shall direct, without
compensation.
6 CONCRETE
Unless otherwise directed, all concrete work shall be performed in accordance with the latest

concrete placement.
All concrete shall be tested in the following manner:
Placement of less than 5 cubic yards (cy) shall be tested at the Engineer’s discretion. Otherwise,
for each class, for each day, for every 50 cy or part thereof exceeding 5 cy, one set of 3
compressive strength cylinders will be required (1 at 7 days and 2 at 28 days). At the discretion
of the Engineer, unacceptable test results may require the Contractor to provide further tests, as
determined by the Engineer, to determine product acceptability, or need for removal, and
compensation or denial thereof.
7 EXCAVATION AND FORMS FOR CONCRETE WORK
7.1 EXCAVATION

cover, inverts of all pipe in structures, and the flow line of inlets. (Gutter)
19.2 TESTING
The Contractor shall take all precautions to secure a perfectly watertight sewer under all
conditions. At the discretion of the City Engineer or his designee, the watertightness of a sewer
which has a crown lying below groundwater level may be tested by measuring the infiltration.
The watertightness of sewers having crowns lying above groundwater level may be tested by
filling the pipe with water so as to produce a hydrostatic head of two feet or more above the
crown of the sewer at the upper end of the test section of the water table outside of the sewer,
whichever is higher, and then measuring the exfiltration. In no case shall the infiltration or
exfiltration exceed 150 gallon per inch of diameter per mile per day. The Contractor shall furnish
all labor, materials and equipment to test the amount of infiltration or exfiltration under the
Engineer's direction. Where the infiltration or exfiltration is excessive the Contractor at his own
expense shall take the necessary steps to remedy such conditions by uncovering the sewer,
remaking the joints or by replacing the entire length of sewer as required by the Engineer. No
trench made joints may be backfilled until after they have been tested and found to be
acceptable. Care shall be taken to avoid flotation.

City of Clearwater - Erosion Control
This notice is to inform the prime contractor that the City of Clearwater holds them responsible
for soil erosion control on their site.
The City of Clearwater Engineering Department has the responsibility to minimize the amount of
soil erosion into the City’s streets, storm sewers and waterways.
The construction of a new residence or commercial site and major remodeling of an existing site
creates a potential for soil erosion. These instances are usually the result of contractors and
subcontractors accessing the property with equipment or construction materials. Then rain storms
redistribute the eroded soil into the adjacent streets, storm systems and waterways.
When erosion takes place, a City Inspector will place a correction notice at the site. The
procedure will be as follows:
1st occurrence - Warning
2nd occurrence - $32 Re-inspection Fee
3rd occurrence - $80 Re-inspection Fee
4th occurrence - Stop Work Order
Dependent on the severity of the erosion, the City’s Engineering Department may elect to rectify
the erosion problem and charge the contractor accordingly.
The attached drawings and details are recommendations for the contractor to use as means to
support the site from eroding. The contractor may elect to shovel and sweep the street daily or on
an as needed basis. However, erosion must be held in check.
If the contractor would like to meet with a City inspector on any particular site, please contact
Construction Services at 562-4750 or Planning & Development Services at 562-4741.
Erosion Control Required - City of Clearwater’s Code of Ordinances requires erosion control on
all land development projects.
Erosion control must be in place and maintained throughout the job. Failure to do so may result
in additional costs and time delays to the permit holder.
Contact Engineering Department with specific questions at 562-4750.

Every precaution shall be taken to prevent foreign material from entering the pipe while it is
being placed in the line. If the pipe laying crew cannot put the pipe into the trench and in place
without getting earth into it, the Engineer may require that, before lowering the pipe into the
trench, a heavy, woven canvas bag of suitable size shall be placed over each end and left there
until the connection is to be made to the adjacent pipe. During laying operation, no debris, tools,
clothing or other materials shall be placed in the pipe.
As each length of pipe is placed in the trench, the spigot end shall be centered in the bell and the
pipe forced home and brought to correct line and grade. The pipe shall be secured in place with
approved backfill material tamped under it except at the bells. Precautions shall be taken to
prevent dirt from entering the joint space.
At times when pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of pipe shall be closed by a
watertight plug or other means approved by the Engineer.
The cutting of pipe for inserting valves, fittings, or closure pieces shall be done in a neat and
workmanlike manner without damage to the pipe or cement lining and so as to leave a smooth
end at right angles to the axis of the pipe.
Pipe shall be laid with bell ends facing in the direction of laying unless directed otherwise by the
Engineer. Where pipe is laid on the grade of 10 per cent or greater, the laying shall start at
bottom and shall proceed upward with the bell ends of the pipe upgrade.
Wherever it is necessary to deflect pipe from a straight line, either in the vertical or horizontal
plane to avoid obstructions or to plumb stems; or where long radius curves are permitted, the
amount of deflection allowed shall not exceed that allowed under the latest edition of
ANSI/AWWA C600-82 and C900 81 or latest revisions.
No pipe shall be laid when, in the opinion of the Engineer, trench conditions are unsuitable.

mix into the delivery hose by means of a feed wheel. The type of feeder utilized should be of
sufficient capacity that the lower chamber may continuously furnish all required material to the
delivery hose while the upper chamber receives the recharge. The rotary type cement gun shall
have an enlarged hopper to feed material into a rotating multiported cylinder. Material shall fall
by gravity into a port which shall then be rotated to a position in which the material is expelled
by air into a moving stream of air. All equipment must be kept in good repair. The interior of
drums, feed gearing and valves shall be cleaned as often as necessary (at least once every 8 hour
shift) to prevent material from caking on critical parts.
Nozzle: Nozzle shall be the premixing type with perforated water feed ring inside the nozzle.
The maximum length of material hose for the application of gunite shall be approximately 150
feet although it shall be permissible to use as much as 800 feet of material hose if the supply air
pressure measured at the cement gun is increased to maintain proper velocity. The following
table gives requirements for compressor size, hose size and air pressure using 150 feet of
material hose:
Comp. Cap

Min. Air Press.
(psi)
365 1 5/8 1 5/8 60
600 2 2 80
750 2 1/2 2 1/2 90
For each 25 feet of material hose used in excess of 150 feet, the required air pressure shall be
increased by 5 psi.
Air Compressor: Any standard type of compressor shall be satisfactory if it is of sufficient
capacity to provide, without interruption, the pressures and volume of air necessary for the
longest hose delivery. The air compressor capacity determinations shall include allowances made
for the air consumed in blowing rebound, cleaning, reinforcing and for incidental uses.
Compressor equipment shall be of such capacity so as to insure air pressures at the special mixer
capable of producing the required material velocities.
Water Supply: The water pressure at the discharge nozzle should be sufficiently greater than the
operating air pressure to assure the water is intimately mixed with the other materials. If the line
water pressure is inadequate, a water pump or pressurized tank shall be introduced into the line.
The water pressure shall be uniformly steady (nonpulsating).

62 TREE PROTECTION
62.1 TREE BARRICADES
A. A protective barrier shall be placed around all protected trees and palms prior to land
preparation or construction activities within or adjacent to the work zone, including all
staging and/or lay down areas. Protective barriers shall be installed as follows:
1. At or greater than the full dripline of all species of Mangroves and Cabbage Palms.
2. At or greater than the full dripline or all protected native pine trees and other conifer
species.
3. At or greater than two-thirds of the dripline of all other protected species
4. At or greater than the full dripline of trees within a specimen tree stand.
B. Protective barriers are to be constructed using no less than two-inch lumber for upright posts.
Upright posts are to be at least four feet in length with a minimum of one foot anchored in
the ground. Upright posts are to be placed at a maximum distance of eight feet apart.
Horizontal rails are to be constructed using no less than one inch by four-inch lumber and
shall be securely attached to the top of the upright post. The project City’s representative
must approve any variation from the above requirements.
C. Whenever a protective barrier is required, it shall be in place until all construction activity is
terminated. The area within the barrier limits shall remain undisturbed by any activity during
construction. Native ground cover and understory vegetation existing within the barriers shall
remain throughout construction. Exotic plant species may only be removed by manual labor
utilizing hand tools or by other means if authorized in writing by the City’s representative.
D. Prior to the erection of any required protective barrier, all surface foreign material, trash or
debris shall be removed from the area enclosed by the barrier, and after erection of the barrier
no such material or litter shall be permitted to remain within the protected area. No
equipment, chemicals, soil deposits or construction materials shall be placed within such
protective barriers.
E. No signs, building permits, wires, or other attachments of any kind shall be attached to any
protected tree or palm.
F. At all times, due care shall be taken to protect the critical root zone of trees protected by this
section, and root pruning requirements shall apply to such trees.
62.2 ROOT PRUNING
A. Where proposed construction improvements involve excavation and/or impacts to the critical
root zone of protected trees, the Contractor shall be required to have an International Society
of Arboriculture (ISA) certified arborist perform, or directly supervise root pruning to reduce
the impacts of construction. The critical root zone is equivalent to the tree’s dripline. Prior to
any clearing, grubbing or excavation activities, the affected roots must be severed by clean
pruning cuts at the point where grubbing or excavation impacts the root system. Roots can be
pruned utilizing specified root pruning equipment designed for that purpose or by hand
digging a trench and pruning roots with a pruning saw, chain saw or other equipment
designed for tree pruning. Root pruning by trenching equipment or excavation equipment is
strictly prohibited. Roots located in the critical root zone that will be impacted by
Attachment number 3
Page 150 of 153
Section IV – Technical Specifications
SectionIV.doc Page 126 of 127 10/11/2010
construction activities shall be pruned to a minimum depth of 18 inches below existing grade
or to the depth of the proposed impact if less than 18 inches from existing grade. Tim Kurtz,
Senior Landscape Architect is the City’s Representative on Public Works projects for root
Pruning issues and can be reached at (727) 562-4737, or through the construction inspector
assigned to the project.
B. Root pruning shall only be preformed by or under the direct supervision of an International
Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certified arborist.
C. Any proposed root pruning trenches shall be identified on site (i.e. staked or painted)
inspected and approved by the City’s representative prior to actual root pruning.
D. Root pruning shall be preformed as far in advance of other construction activities as is
feasible, but at a minimum shall be performed prior to ANY impacts to the soil. Associated
tree protection measures should be implemented upon completion of said root pruning.
E. If there is a likelihood of excessive wind and/or rain exceptional care shall be taken on any
root pruning activities.
F. Root pruning shall be limited to a minimum of ten inches per one inch of the trunk diameter
from the tree base. Any exception must be approved by the City’s representative prior to said
root pruning.
G. Roots shall be cut cleanly, as far from the trunk of the tree as possible. Root pruning shall be
done to a minimum depth of 18” from existing grade, or to the depth of the disturbance if less
than 18”.
H. Root pruning shall be performed using a Doscocil Root Cutting Machine or equivalent.
Alternate equipment or techniques must be approved by the City’s representative, prior to
any work adjacent to trees to be preserved.
I. Root pruning shall be completed, inspected and accepted prior to the commencement of any
excavation or other impacts to the critical root zones of trees to be protected.
J. Excavations in an area where root are present shall not cause the tearing or ripping of tree
roots. Roots must first be cleanly severed prior to continuing with the excavation, or tunneled
around to prevent damage to the root.
K. Tree roots shall not be exposed to drying out. Root ends shall be covered with native soil or
burlap and kept moist until final backfill or final grades has been established.
L. When deemed appropriate (e.g., during periods of drought) the City representative may
require a temporary irrigation system be utilized in the remaining critical root zones of root
pruned trees.
M. When underground utility lines are to be installed within the critical root zone, the root
pruning requirement may be waived if the lines are installed via tunneling or directional
boring as opposed to open trenching.
62.3 PROPER TREE PRUNING
A. All tree pruning and/or root pruning on existing trees to remain shall only be preformed by or
under the direct supervision of an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certified
arborist. Furthermore, all tree work shall conform to the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) 2001, American National Standard for tree care operations – Tree, Shrub and
other Woody Plant Maintenance – Standard practices (pruning) ANSI A-300.

Section IV – Technical Specifications
SectionIV.doc Page 127 of 127 10/11/2010
B. Proper pruning techniques for all lateral branches of protected trees are required. Flush cuts
(pruning cuts that remove the branch collar) and stub cuts (cuts that leave a stub on the tree)
are improper techniques. Any protected tree that has been improperly pruned will not be
recognized as a tree left on the project in a healthy growing condition, and will require
replacement consistent with the current City Codes and Ordinances.
C. No protected tree shall have more than 30 percent of its foliage removed.
D. No protected tree shall be topped, hat racked or lion-tailed. Any protected tree that has been
improperly pruned will not be recognized as a tree left on the project in a healthy growing
condition, and will require replacement consistent with the current City Codes and

Work Session
Council Chambers - City Hall
Meeting Date:12/13/2010
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Award a contract (purchase order) to Musco Sports Lighting, LLC of Clermont, FL for the installation and service of sports field
lighting equipment at various city athletic facilities, at a cost of $1,348,000, based on Clay County Bid 08/09-3; establish Project 315-
93620 (Sports Field Lighting); authorize transfer of $1,348,000 from General Fund Reserves as a first quarter adjustment to the budget
and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The March 29, 2010 Council Work Session included a Performance Contracting Agreement between the City and Honeywell to provide
various efficiencies at City facilities. For discussion purposes, the project was divided into four areas: basic, City Hall, Long Center and
athletic fields. The athletic field lighting piece was given to Parks and Recreation staff for additional review and analysis, and to
recommend best solution alternatives to Council. Participant safety from inadequate lighting was the primary concern. Staff analyzed
each facility: Countryside Sports Complex, Countryside Community Park Fields and Eddie C. Moore Fields 1 – 9.
The City of Clearwater has several agreements with specific groups (co-sponsors and rentals) where the City has agreed to operationally
maintain the fields compliant with industry standards. As part of this review, those current industry standards provided by each group
were reviewed to ensure safety compliance for all co-sponsored groups as well as all tournament play with groups that have utilized
these facilities. Groups that specifically require certain standards include the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), the American
Softball Association (ASA), the United States Soccer Foundation, the NCAA and Little League Baseball. In reviewing the City’s legal
obligation of these types of agreements where the City has agreed to operationally maintain the fields, the City may be held to the
standards required by each group if challenged for safe liability. However, there is no specific legal standard for field lighting.
The following provides the analysis for staff recommendation on each facility:
Countryside Sports Complex – This system is an original system and our last all wood pole replacement. Current lighting level is
significantly below industry standards as the complex was grandfathered. Due to the low fixture count and lighting levels, there is no
significant return on the investment for this site. However, there is a legitimate need to bring it up to current standards to ensure the
safety of our young athletes. Minimum standards are a maintained average footcandles of 30; which is designed for standard
competition play. Primary users are Countryside Jr. Cougars and Clearwater Chargers Soccer Club.
Countryside Community Park Fields– The primary user of this facility is Countryside Little League. It is proposed to retrofit the
complex using a green technology lighting system, which will maintain the facility in compliance at all times and will reduce our energy
and maintenance costs. Annual estimated utility savings of over $10,000 may be realized.
Eddie C. Moore Complex – The primary use of this facility is adult softball, NCAA and youth amateur athletics. It is proposed to
retrofit the complex using a green technology lighting system, which will maintain the facility in compliance at all times and will reduce
our energy and maintenance costs. Annual estimated utility savings of over $51,000 may be realized.
Staff recommends retrofitting Countryside Community Park and the Eddie C. Moore Complex, and upgrading Countryside Sports
Complex to minimum standards. The material return of investment at Countryside Community Park is 23 years and at Eddie C. Moore
Complex it is just over 12 years plus staffing reductions based on the product warranty. At Countryside Community Sports Complex,
the needed renovations will also be tied into the Musco warranty program. Under the warranty program, Musco will maintain all lights
and systems at required lighting levels for 25 years at the Countryside Sports Complex and 15 years at Countryside Community Park
and Eddie C. Moore Complex respectively.
The City’s annual maintenance cost will be reduced by $51,000. This is based on elimination of one FTE associated with reduced
maintenance needs funded through Parks and Recreation 1871 (electrical team) internal services charges to Building and
Maintenance. In addition, the CIP Project 315-93269, light, replacement and repair, can be reduced from $80,000 to $50,000 annually,
bringing the overall annual savings to the City of $81,000.
The total annual return on the investment is $142,000: $61,000 energy savings and $81,000 reduction in Parks and Recreation electrical
team budget. The capital cost to all three complexes is estimated at $1,348,000. Using the anticipated cost savings, the project will pay
for itself in 11.1 years. The capital estimate is a reduction of $1,076,485 from the original energy efficiency project request of
$2,424,485 as we will be using an existing competitive bid, Clay County and the project did not account for energy savings guaranteed

(CCCM) for $159,450; funded with a $50,000 credit from CCCM and $109,450 from unappropriated retained earnings of the General
Fund. (consent)
SUMMARY:
On November 22, 2010, the City Council approved termination of lease agreement between CCCM and approved a new interim
agreement with Clearwater Golf Club, LLC (CGC) to operate the City golf course known as the Clearwater Country Club. As part of
the termination, CCCM agreed that the City had first lien on the personal property owned by the club so that the City could continue
ongoing operations at the course.
The City and CCCM agreed to hire an independent professional appraiser to place a monetary value on all personal property owned by
CCCM so that the City could purchase those items needed to continue a smooth transition to new management.
On September 29, 2010, Mr. Carl Chrappa, A.S.A., M.R.I.C.S., I.F.A. completed his appraisal of all personal property owned by
CCCM. The City and current operator CGC evaluated the list of items and determined that there is a need to purchase a total of
$159,450 of turf maintenance equipment and clubhouse equipment.
Staff is recommending the purchase to be funded with a $50,000 credit from CCCM and $109,450 from unappropriated retained
earnings of the General Fund.
A list of the inventory to be purchased by the City is available for review.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Third Amendment to License Agreement between the City of Clearwater, Florida and Alexandra of Clearwater Beach, Inc.
(Alexandra), adding five years to the term of the Agreement in exchange for the maintenance of the public restrooms in Pier 60 Park
and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
On August 5, 2010, City Council directed staff to negotiate a 5-year extension (March 1, 2012 to February 28, 2017) to the License
Agreement between the City and Alexandra.
In exchange for the extension, Alexandra has agreed to assume responsibility for the cleanliness, maintenance and operating expenses of
the public restrooms in the Pier 60 Concession building accessible to the public, and any additional restrooms added to the building or
built in the Pier 60 park area. Operating expenses shall include but not be limited to cleaning supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, soap,
and utility costs including electricity, water, sewer, etc.
Public restrooms at this location will be open to the public during all concession stand open hours. During inclement weather when the
concession stand is closed the restrooms will be unavailable to the public.
Having Alexandra assume this responsibility for all the restrooms is expected to save the City $62,140 a year in staff salaries, operating
expenses and the cost of building and maintenance repairs to the existing wooden structures.
New restroom facilities will be constructed in Pier 60 Park within the next year. As the new facility is opened, two wooden restroom
structures, one located north of the picnic shelter in Pier 60 Park and one located north of the lifeguard building, will be removed.
During construction of the new restroom facilities, portable restrooms will be provided by the City but maintained by Alexandra.

and form a part of this Agreement.
2. Paragraph 1 amended. Paragraph 1 of the License Agreement is hereby
amended as follows. Subject to terms and conditions provided herein, the term of the
License Agreement is being extended for a period of f ive (5) additional years (Term
Extension), resulting in a total license term of twenty (20) years, having begun on the 1st
day of March, 1997, and ending on the 28th day of February, 2017. As referred to in this
Agreement, an “Agreement Year” commences on the first day of March of each year and
terminates on the 28th day of February (or 29th day in a leap year, as applicable) for each
year during the term of this Agreement.
3. License Area. Exhibit “A” of the License Agreement is amended to include
the newly constructed restrooms, as well as the Food Concession Complex and that portion
of City-owned beach described in paragraph 4 of the Agreement. Licensee acknowledges
and consents to the construction of the additional restroom facilities as reflected in Exhibit
“A” as necessary to municipal purpose. Further, Licensee agrees to cooperate with
Licensor fully in all respects necessary for successful completed construction of same, as
determined by Licensor in its sole discretion, including the planning and construction of the
restrooms, and in providing access to Licensor and its agents, including but not limited to
contractors. The Parties hereby agree that the Licensee’s cooperation in allowing for the
construction of the restrooms is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Term
Extension. Exhibit “A” is hereby revised as attached hereto and incorporated herein.
4. Paragraph 6 amended. Paragraph 6 of the License Agreement is amended
to provide for the additional public restrooms which will be constructed adjoining the original
license area, and to set out maintenance responsibilities therefore. The Licensee shall be
responsible for the cleanliness and maintenance of the public restrooms now existing in the
License Area and for the additional public restroom facilities that are scheduled for
construction in the area adjoining the Food Concession Complex (see revised Exhibit “A”,
Attachment number 1
Page 1 of 3
attached). The following standards shall be adhered to in the maintenance and
management of the restrooms.
a. Restrooms will be open and available to the public during all hours the concession
stand is open for business.
b. Restrooms shall be cleaned to meet health department standards for a food
vendor as required by law. The Licensor reserves the right to inspect the restrooms
to assure the cleanliness standard is in compliance with the health department or
other legal standards. Failure of Licensee to maintain health department standards
for a food vendor as required by law, including but not limited to Florida Statute,
Chapter 509 as it currently exists or as it may be amended, shall be considered a
breach of the License Agreement, unless immediately corrected by Licensee. In
addition, Lessee agrees to forward to Lessor a copy of each inspection report issued
in accordance with Florida Statute 509 (as it presently exists or as it may be
amended) within fifteen (15) days of receiving any such reports. If the City alleges a
failure to maintain health department standards separate from any health
department inspection, the City shall provide Licensee immediate notice specifying
the alleged failure and permit Licensee to correct any alleged breach. The City
recognizes that the nature of public restrooms provided to the general public can
create instances of improper use of the bathroom by the public without the
immediate knowledge of Licensee, or in between regularly scheduled restroom
inspections by the Licensee. A failure to maintain health department standards is
only a material breach if:
1. Licensee willfully refuses to comply with health department requirement or
standard.
2. Licensee willfully refuses to correct a health department standards
violation, requested by the City or the health department.
3. Licensee willfully and repeatedly fails to provide restrooms that meet
health department standards, causing the closure (for any length of time)
of the restrooms to the public.
4. In the event of any dispute between the Licensee and the City in regard to
standards, the Health Department standards or other applicable law shall
take precedence.
In the event of a material breach, Licensor, at its option, may exercise any one of the
remedies set forth under paragraph 19(f).
c. Licensee shall be responsible for all operational costs of the restrooms including,
but not limited to; cleaning supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, and soap.
d. Licensee shall be responsible for all utility costs associated with the restrooms
including, but not limited to; electricity, heat, water and sewer, and refuse collection.
e. Licensee shall be responsible to provide the same service and maintenance levels
as outlined in (a) through (d) above for any portable/temporary restrooms that may
be placed at the license site in order to provide restroom accommodations during the
construction of the new restroom additions. The City reserves the right to provide
such restroom facilities in its sole discretion and at the City’s expense; however,
service and maintenance of such temporary facilities shall be at the expense of the
Licensee.
Attachment number 1
Page 2 of 3
f. In the event construction of the additional restroom facilities causes the
Licensor to require closure of the licensed premises, resulting in Licensee being
prevented from conducting business within the building, the Licensor agrees to pro-
rate the monthly base rent payments required under 9a(1) to offset rent, per diem,
for the number of days the Licensee was unable to operate within any month subject
to this provision.
5. License payments and other terms and condition of paragraph 9 of the
Agreement shall remain the same and are hereby extended for the duration of the Term
Extension.
6. All other terms and conditions of the License Agreement are incorporated herein
by reference and shall continue in full force and effect throughout the remaining term of this
License Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Agreement is executed as of the date first above
written.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Amend Section 22.59 of the City of Clearwater Code of Ordinances to allow for the sale, consumption or possession of alcohol on park
property when permitted by an alcoholic beverage special events permit; Section 22.89 to allow for the sale and/or consumption of
alcoholic beverages in the downtown Cleveland Street area; and Section 22.90 to allow for the consumption or possession, but not the
sale of alcoholic beverages as defined in section 6.21 of the Clearwater Code of Ordinances, in certain areas depicted within an event
venue diagram as required in the permit application process and pass Ordinance 8226-11 on first reading.
SUMMARY:
The first and last sentences of Section 22.59 of the City of Clearwater Code of Ordinances, as currently written, arguably creates an
ambiguity regarding the sale, consumption and possession of alcoholic beverages on park property. The proposed change clarifies that
it is permissible to sell, consume and possess alcoholic beverages on park property in accordance with an alcoholic beverage special
event permit. This amendment clarifies the basis for an already accepted practice.
In line with the continued promotion of economic development in the downtown corridor, and due to the many activities and special
events being held in the area, a change is being recommended to amend Section 22.89 to allow alcoholic beverages in an area described
as: The area within the north and south boundaries of Cleveland Street, bounded on east by the west boundary of Myrtle Avenue, on the
west by the west boundary of Osceola Avenue, including the contiguous rights-of-way and sidewalks.
Lastly, amending Section 22.90 will allow for the consumption and possession, but not the sale of alcoholic beverages other than beer or
wine (as defined in Section 6.21) at a special event in accordance with an alcoholic beverage special event permit, and only within areas
defined by the event venue diagram as approved by the City Manager or his designee.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an agreement with Religious Community Services, Inc. (RCS) for provision of contractual victim advocacy services in the
amount of $17,149, for period January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
(consent)
SUMMARY:
The Clearwater Police Department (CPD) seeks City Council approval to enter into a contractual agreement with RCS (a registered
non-profit organization with four distinct yet interwoven programs, which includes The Haven of RCS) to provide a part-time bilingual
victim advocate position from The Haven to be physically located at CPD headquarters. The victim advocate will work 20 hours per
week and perform the duties associated with the implementation of a domestic violence victim advocacy program with an emphasis on
Spanish-speaking, Hispanic victims for a one-year period.
While other crimes have shown a decrease in recent years, domestic violence statistics continue to climb. Some of the crimes that have
increased and are the direct result of domestic violence over the past two-year period include: murders (300% increase), rapes (300%
increase), aggravated stalking (200% increase) and threat/intimidation (166.7% increase).
Additionally, CPD’s grant-funded partnership with the Hispanic Outreach Center (HOC) that provided victim advocacy services to
Spanish-speaking Hispanics has expired. Domestic violence cases represented a significant number of victim advocacy cases that were
previously handled by the HOC.
The Haven of RCS is a state-certified provider of domestic violence victim advocacy services; has a number of Spanish-speaking victim
advocates on staff; and has a long history of collaborating with CPD and its victim advocate on domestic violence issues. Pursuant to
the contractual agreement, The Haven of RCS will provide comprehensive domestic violence services on-site at CPD for 400 victims,
with an emphasis on Spanish-speaking Hispanics, but includes all domestic violence victims.
All expenses will be charged to the Special Law Enforcement Fund, Special Project 181-99331.

would receive a partial trade-in credit for trading in Advanced TASER M26 electronic control devices for the Advanced TASER X26
electronic control device model. This trade in credit equates to seventy-five dollars ($75.00) per unit.
The Clearwater Police Department has a supply of one-hundred seventeen (117) Advanced TASER X26 electronic control devices in its
current inventory. An additional one-hundred twenty-eight (128) Advanced TASER X26 electronic control devices are needed to
provide a consistent platform for all sworn personnel.
The police department reviewed the model S-200 that is manufactured by Stinger Stun Systems, Inc., which is comparable to the
Advanced TASER X26 electronic control device. Staff compared price, company stability and reputation of the model S-200. In
August of 2010, Stinger Stun Systems, Inc. went out of business.
Upon completion of the evaluation process, the police department recommends the purchase of the additional one-hundred twenty-eight
(128) Advanced TASER X26 electronic control device along with the extended four (4) year warranty per unit. The department’s
experience with TASER International is positive, its products have performed as promised, TASER International guarantees legal
support for any lawsuit pertaining to its product, implementation of the Advanced TASER X26 can be achieved without any significant
issues, and the company has remained interested in the performance of their product in the field by continuing to identify
improvements. The Advanced TASER X26 electronic control device would be the most economically sound path and would keep a
consistency in the existing platform the police department has used since 2004.
The price of the additional Advanced TASER X26 electronic control devices is $129,206.95, which includes a one (1) year
manufacturer warranty and an additional four (4) year extended warranty per unit. There would be no recurring cost for repair or
replacement for five years from the purchase date.
Funding is available in Special Project 181-99387, Federal Forfeiture Fund.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Award a contract (purchase order) to Contender Boats Incorporated, located in Homestead, Florida, per written quote, for a Contender
23 Open, equipped with a Yamaha F250 Outboard and Ameritrail trailer, in the amount of $47,991.38, for the period of December 1,
2010 through December 31, 2011 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The City of Clearwater is surrounded by approximately 50 square miles of waterways that are under the jurisdiction of the City. The
City currently has no way to project its authority, and encourage boating safety, other than reliance on the generosity of other law
enforcement entities such as the Fish and Wildlife Commission and Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office.
Clearwater Harbor and Clearwater Pass are among the busiest waterways in the County. With the recent addition of the downtown boat
slips and public docks on North Mandalay traffic on the waterways will further increase, necessitating increased boating safety activities
and enforcement. Law enforcement counterparts have experienced budget reductions, reducing the amount of time they have been able
to spend policing our jurisdiction.
The Clearwater Police Department has developed a plan to implement a part- time marine unit that will patrol on weekends during the
peak boating season (April – September) and during specified holidays and spring break. The scope and purpose of this unit have been
designed to meet the needs of the citizens of Clearwater and address the aforementioned issues in an efficient and economical way. The
unit’s primary responsibility will be boating safety. The normal patrol area will be limited to the navigable waterways in and around
Clearwater Harbor and Clearwater Pass. Absent an emergency or mutual aid request, this unit will be highly visible and patrol within ½
mile of our shoreline.
Taking into account the scope and purpose of this part-time unit, the Clearwater Police Department has reviewed a number of different
platforms to facilitate this mission. The Contender 23 Open, powered by a single Yamaha F250 outboard stands out as an excellent
compromise between speed and efficiency. This combination will provide a safe and reliable platform from which to conduct vessel
boardings and operations in the normal patrol area while still providing the ability to respond in moderate weather.
Upon completion of the evaluation process, the police department recommends the purchase of the Contender 23 Open, powered by a
Yamaha F250 outboard coupled with an Ameritrail tandem axle trailer. This package is available through Contender Boats Incorporated
in the amount of $47,991.38. This purchase will have no impact on the general fund. Additional costs to equip the vessel will be funded
with Special Project 181-99281, Federal Forfeiture Fund.
Contender Boats is a sole source, state contracted vendor for the 23 Open.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Declare as surplus the 10-foot wide portion of Lots 103 through 107, inclusive, Lloyd-White-Skinner Subdivision, as conveyed to the
City by Special Warranty Deed recorded in O. R. Book 15057, Page 2479, Public Records of Pinellas County, Florida, in compliance
with Section 2.01(d)(5) of the City Charter; adopt Resolution 10-30 dedicating same as Coronado Drive public right-of-way, and
authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
SUMMARY:
On March 13, 2001, the City and Beachwalk Resort, LLC entered into a Development Agreement (Agreement) governing construction
and development of the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa, 301 South Gulfview Boulevard.
Among its provisions, the Agreement required the developer to dedicate ten feet along the entire eastern boundary of the project as
additional right-of-way for Coronado Drive.
On April 6, 2006, the developer conveyed the required strip of land to Crystal Beach Capital, LLC, which in turn, immediately
conveyed the parcel to the City by Special Warranty Deed as recorded in O. R. Book 15057, Page 2479, Public Records of Pinellas
County, Florida.
Upon declaring the subject parcel as surplus to City needs, and adopting Resolution 10-30, the 10-foot strip of land, already improved as
widened Coronado Drive during Beachwalk construction, now formally becomes additional public right-of-way.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve First Amendment to the Cooperative Funding Agreement between Southwest Florida Water Management District
(SWFWMD) and the City of Clearwater for the Chautauqua/Coachman Ridge Reclaimed Water Project (L810) and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The original Cooperative Funding Agreement (CFA) between Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) and the City
of Clearwater (City) for the Chautauqua/Coachman Ridge Reclaimed Water Project (L810) was approved at the May 15, 2008 City
Council meeting.
Due to low construction costs the City is experiencing in constructing/installing reclaimed water (RCW) pipelines in the city, this
amended CFA will provide for the additional design, permitting and construction of reclaimed water transmission mains and
distribution piping adjacent to the Chautauqua area. As approved previously, SWFWMD will reimburse up to 50% of all costs
associated with this project up to the original $ 1,977,000 limit.
The City of Clearwater will ensure that the reclaimed water infrastructure related to the project is constructed, operated, and maintained
in such a manner that it will continue to be utilized to its proposed capacity, as described in the cooperative funding agreement for a
minimum of 20 years.
The City of Clearwater agrees to perform the services necessary to complete the project in accordance with the amended original
agreement, Exhibit A, and the Project Plan set forth in Exhibit B. Any changes to this scope of work and associated costs, except as
provided within the CFA, must be mutually agreed to in a formal written amendment approved by SWFWMD and the City of
Clearwater prior to being performed by the City of Clearwater, subject to the provisions of the Funding as outlined in the cooperative
funding agreement.
The project completion schedule is as follows:
Full Design and Permitting Commence - May 30, 2008
Construction Commence - December 31, 2009
Complete Construction - December 31, 2011
Agreement Terminated - December 31, 2012
There is no cost to the City associated with the amended SWFWMD Agreement.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Award a contract (Purchase Order) to RTD Construction of Zephyrhills, Florida, in the amount of $1,651,067.55, for construction of the
Pump Station Replacement at Marshall Street (WRF Project 09-0028-UT), which is the lowest responsible bid received in accordance
with the plans and specifications for this project; approve a Work Order in the amount of $109,075.00 to Jones Edmunds and
Associates, Inc., an Engineer-of-Record for the City of Clearwater, to provide Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) Services;
and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The Archimedes screw pump station, which pumps the effluent from the final clarifiers to the filter influent channel, was constructed in
1988. A submersible tri-plex pump station was added in 1996 to supplement the aging screw pump station. The Archimedes screw
pump station has reached the end of its useful life. Jones Edmunds conducted an evaluation and hydraulic analysis in 2009 and
recommended replacing the screw pump station with a new submersible pump station. The goal of this project is to provide a reliable
pumping station that will pump the plant design peak hour flows (25 MGD) and meet Class I reliability.
The scope includes replacing the screw pump station and the submersible tri-plex pump station with new pumps in an existing idle
reclaimed water wet well. The project will also include the demolition of the existing screw pump station, the existing submersible tri-
plex pump station and associated equipment.
It is anticipated that construction will be completed in 265 days and be accomplished by the end of October 2011.
Jones Edmunds and Associates, Inc., the engineering design consultant for this project and an Engineer-of-Record for the City of
Clearwater, was responsible for the design of the improvements. Eight bids were received and RTD Construction was the lowest in the
amount of $1,651,067.55 for the project. After comparing the bids, Jones Edmunds and Associates, Inc has provided a recommendation
to award the construction of the project to RTD Construction and City staff concurs.
Marshall Street APCF is located at 1605 Harbor Drive, Clearwater, Florida.
Jones Edmunds and Associates, Inc. will be providing CEI Services to this project upon the approval of the Work Order.
The City of Clearwater’s Public Utilities Department is responsible for owning, operating and maintaining the Marshall Street WRF.
Sufficient budget and Utility R & R revenue are available in 0327-96202, WWTP Screw Pump Replacement in the amount of

The City of Clearwater Engineering Department has determined that it will be necessary to repair and rehabilitate approximately five

The City of Clearwater Engineering Department will direct the contractor to high priority pipe systems as established by review of
inspection reports and maintenance records with a focus on corrugated metal pipes within easements between houses. The contract also
allows for emergency repair work to be performed at the unit prices included in the contract.
The City of Clearwater’s Public Services Department Stormwater Maintenance Division is responsible for operating, inspecting, and
maintaining the stormwater pipelines.

Work Session
Council Chambers - City Hall
Meeting Date:12/13/2010
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) and initial Zoning Atlas designation of
Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District for 1605 Sherwood Street (Lot 2, Block 13, Highland Pines 2nd addition in Section
11, Township 29 South, Range 15 East) and pass Ordinances 8228-10, 8229-10 and 8230-10 on first reading. (ANX2010-09010)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.17-acre property consisting of one parcel of land occupied by a single-family
dwelling. It is located on the south side of Sherwood Street approximately 215 feet west of Ridge Avenue. The applicant is requesting
this annexation in order to receive sanitary sewer and solid waste service from the City. The Planning and Development Department is
requesting that the 0.19-acres of abutting right-of-way of Lots 1 and 2, Block 13 not currently within the city limits also be annexed.
The property is contiguous to existing city boundaries to the west and south. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land
Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of Clearwater
Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The property currently receives water service from Pinellas County. The closest sanitary sewer line is located between Sherwood Street
right-of-way and Gentry Street right-of-way. The applicant has paid the City's sewer impact and assessment fees and is aware of the
additional costs to extend City sewer service to this property. Collection of solid waste will be provided by the City. The property is
located within Police District II and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 645 Pierce Street. Fire and
emergency medical services will be provided to this property by Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The City has adequate
capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not have an
adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development within the urban service area shall
be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the city’s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses located within the Clearwater
Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties upon request.
The proposed Residential Urban (RU) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of this
property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 7.5 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to be
assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The use of the subject property is consistent with the
uses allowed in the district and the property exceeds the district’s minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is
therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the west; therefore, the annexation is consistent with
Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.
