SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Award a contract (purchase order) to Pierce Manufacturing Inc. of Appleton, WI. in the amount of $481,310.00 for the purchase of one
new Pierce Heavy Duty Velocity Pumper, in accordance with Sec. 2.564 (1)(b)and(e), Code of Ordinances, Other governmental bid,
and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The Department desires to purchase a heavy-duty front line unit to replace Engine 48, which was purchased in 2001,
and move the current Engine 48 to the reserve fleet to maintain required reserve units.
The full price for one unit is $481,310.00.
The current CIP project 91218, Fire Engine Replacement, has $488,800 of Penny III funding available.
The City will be reimbursed by the County for a portion of the purchase, approximately 12%, as the vehicle will
support fire operations in the unincorporated areas of the Clearwater Fire District.
The Department has determined the Pierce Heavy Duty Velocity Pumper built by Pierce Manufacturing meets the
operational needs of the Department.
Estimated annual operating costs in the departments annual operating budget include fuel and routine garage charges
for operating the new vehicle. Garage charges on the new vehicle are expected to be less than on the replaced vehicle.
This purchase is a piggyback of Lake County Contract 08-0803.
The Pierce pumper is the City of Clearwater Fire and Rescue Department standard for the purpose of training and
maintenance. Custom components have been added to meet the needs of the fire district and surrounding
municipalities.
Warranty: Limited 1 year warranty for 12 months free of defects in material and workmanship; 3 year warranty on the
Impel/Velocity custom chassis; lifetime on chassis frame crossmembers, Imp/Vel; 5 year on EVS transmission; 5 years
on command zone components, Chassis, Vel/Impel/Qtm/AXT; lifetime on UPF and water tank; 5 years on waterous
(pump); 10 year on S/S plumbing and standard paint; 10 yrs or 100,000 on vehicle cab and body; and 5 year or
100,000 mile warranty on engine provided by Cummins.
Maintenance: Ten-8 Fire Equipment, Inc., a full service apparatus repair facility, will perform all of the warranty work.
The Citys General Services Division will perform routine maintenance and testing. Annual pump testing will be
performed by our Logistics Bureau in accordance with NFPA standards. Any additional repairs can be contracted
through Ten-8 at an additional cost per their service fee schedule.
A heavy-duty Velocity pumper apparatus provides exceptional pumping water capability, enhanced storage capability,
lower vehicle profile and will significantly up-grade the abilities of the unit it replaces.
Cover Memo
The proposal for fire apparatus conforms to all Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) rules and regulations in
Item # 4
effect at the time of bid and with all National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Guidelines for Automotive Fire
Apparatus as published at the time of bid, except as modified by customer specifications. Pierce Manufacturing
operates a Quality Management System under the requirements of ISO 9001. The apparatus will meet the current
NFPA 1901 recommendations and will maintain design and operational features consistent with the departments
needs.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the negotiation of a three-year contract between the City and Montgomery Retirement Plan Advisors for the provision of
advisor/consultant services to the City 457 Deferred Compensation Plans and the City 401a Money Purchase Pension plan at a total cost
not to exceed $35,000 per year. (consent)
SUMMARY:
In May 2011, the City issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 17-11 seeking qualified firms with the ability to provide consulting services to
the City in the administration of its 457 Deferred Compensation Plans and 401a Money Purchase Pension Plan. Responses to the RFP
were received from 11 agencies. A City RFP evaluation committee met initially on August 10, 2011 to review and conduct a
comparative analysis of the responses. The evaluation committee scored and ranked the responses, narrowing the list to four
finalists. Criteria for the scoring included cost, ability to perform the requested services, experience with public sector retirement plans,
and references.
The RFP evaluation committee met on September 2, 2011 to receive presentations from and interview the four respondents to the RFP
identified as finalists. One finalist declined and not considered by the evaluation committee. The committee then ranked the other three
finalists based on their overall presentations. Montgomery Financial Services emerged with the highest ranking.
Staff requests that Council authorize the City to enter into negotiations initially with Montgomery to serve as advisor/consultant to the
Citys 457 and 401a plans. This is anticipated to be a three-year agreement at a cost not to exceed $35,000 per year. The cost for the
balance of Fiscal Year 2011-2012 would be funded from Central Insurance Fund reserves and future year costs are to be budgeted in the
Central Insurance Fund.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize a contract between the City and CIGNA HealthCare for medical insurance under a fully insured, Shared Returns Minimum
Premium funding arrangement for the period of January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 at a total cost not to exceed $13 million, and that
City funds obtained through the federal Early Retiree Reimbursement Program be utilized to offset proposed increases and maintain
current employee premiums and City funding levels. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The contract with the Citys current medical insurance provider, CIGNA HealthCare, expires on December 31,
2011. CIGNA presented an initial renewal offer to maintain the Citys existing plan options at an overall increase in
cost of approximately $1.5 million. The City Benefits Committee, made up of representatives of all of the Citys
employee groups and retirees, recommended that the Citys Agent of Record, the Gehring Group, negotiate with
CIGNA and the other major carriers to achieve a more favorable proposal. Quotes for a fully-funded arrangement were
submitted in response by CIGNA and United Healthcare only.
After evaluating the proposals, the City Benefits Committee, by a unanimous vote of 15 to 0, elected to recommend to
City Council that CIGNA be retained as the medical insurance provider for 2012. This proposal would result in the
elimination of the Citys current OAP (POS) plan option, but would maintain the current OAPIN (base) plan option
with a reduction in the single and family out-of-pocket maximum amounts and the addition of an out-of-network
schedule of benefits at an increase of approximately 5% in employee premiums and City funding levels.
The cost of this increase, in addition to the decrease in overall employee contributions attributable to the shift
in participants from the buy-up to the base plan, would result in an increase in the City contribution of an estimated
$568,000 for calendar year 2012, and require approximately $197,000 in additional funding in excess of budgeted for
fiscal year 2012. The Benefits Committee recommends that the City utilize funds obtained from the federal Early
Retiree Reimbursement Program (ERRP), to the extent available, to offset the proposed increase and maintain
employee, retiree, and corresponding City employer contributions at current levels. Currently $283,458 in ERRP grant
monies are available to fund this $197,000 increase, with additional monies anticipated in the coming months. Staff
concurs with the Benefits Committee recommendations.
Based on this recommendation, the calendar year 2012 cost for this scenario would be $13.0 million ($10.0 million
City share, $1.7 million employee share, and $1.3 million retiree/cobra share). For fiscal year 2012, the City has
budgeted $9,715,000 for approximately 1,475 full time positions for the Citys share of medical insurance coverage.
The Citys estimated share of actual expenses for Fiscal Year 2012 per this recommendation is estimated at
$9,912,000. The $197,000 difference would be funded from ERRP reserves during fiscal year 2012.
This recommendation maintains the current funding strategy for City contributions to health care premiums to
represent 100% of the cost for Employee Only, 75% of the cost for Employee plus One, and 68% of the cost for
Employee plus Family coverage.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Amend Chapter 33, Section 33.058 of the Code of Ordinances to create an Idle Speed - No Wake Zone within the Clearwater Harbor
Marina and pass Ordinance 8292-11 on the first reading.
SUMMARY:
Council requested and was given permission by the State to establish a Slow Speed - Minimum Wake Zone to include all
waters from the western boundary of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) east to the shoreline from the Seminole Launch
Ramp, including 500 feet south of the Memorial Causeway Bridge in 1999 (Resolution 99-21, Ordinance 4995-90, Permit
88-020).
This wake zone was created to prevent potential hazards to boaters launching at the Seminole Launch Ramp. The
established wake zone is not serving the intended purpose. Boaters travel at speed outside the current wake zone then
throttle back at the last second. The problem is compounded now that the new Clearwater Harbor Marina has been built
with docks on both the north and south sides of the Memorial Causeway Bridge. Funding from the Fish and Wildlife
Conservation (FWC) helped pay for these docks and the size of the boater wakes have broken pile guide rollers and the
remaining support brackets have dug crevices in the concrete pilings the floating wave attenuators ride on.
In addition, vessels entering and exiting the ICW at the intersection of the Memorial Causeway Channel frequently propel
their wakes into the Clearwater Harbor Marina docks due to having no speed restrictions in this channel at the eastbound
approach to the ICW.
The City has requested permission from the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) to extend the existing Slow
Speed Minimum Wake Zone across the entire span of the bridge opening, shore to shore, and 275 yards north of the
bridge west of Channel Marker 14 where it meets the ICW. South of the bridge, the City requested an extension of the zone
500 yards south of the bridge, east to the shore and west to Marina Channel 5 into the Marina Causeway
Channel. Formerly, the Slow Speed Minimum Wake Zone marker piling was within the proposed slips of the Clearwater
Harbor Marina, which the City was given permission to remove and replace with a buoy further south during construction.
The FWC has submitted the Slow Speed Minimum Wake Zone extension to their agenda scheduling process. In
discussions with the FWC, they normally permit wake zones shoreline to shoreline, under and on approach to bridge
structures. The previous bridge did not require this due to its design; the new bridge does. FWC has moved the Citys
request up in priority but it will take at least a year to process.
The FWC authorized our proceeding with designating the area within the Harbor Marina slip basin an Idle Speed No
Wake Zone. Besides alleviating some of the damage due to wakes, it would also help curtail commercial sightseeing
vessels chasing dolphins into the basin.
The Marine Advisory Board reviewed the matter and recommended these changes.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an agreement in the amount of $484,290.00 with the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office, Largo, Florida for latent fingerprint, crime
scene processing services, evidence and property storage and Pinellas Juvenile Assessment Center services, during the one-year contract
period, commencing October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The Pinellas County Sheriffs Office (PCSO) and the Clearwater Police Department (CPD) began annual
contractual agreement for services in January 1994. The agreement covers latent fingerprint examination,
property/evidence storage, crime scene processing services and a share of security costs at the Pinellas
Juvenile Assessment Center (PJAC).
The total cost of the proposed Fiscal Year 2011/2012 agreement is $484,290.00, reflecting a 19% decrease
in cost from the 2010/2011 contract for services primarily due to a contractual reduction in the calls for
service requiring crime scene processing, and a reduction in the number of items submitted by the CPD to
the Sheriffs Office Property and Evidence Division.
The proposed contractual agreement reflects the following breakout of costs: Fingerprint Services -$89,184
(1200 calls @ $74.32 per call);
Forensic Science Services (Crime Scene Processing)- $242,604 (1200 calls @ $202.17 per call);
Evidence and Property Service and Storage- $93,870 (9000 submissions @ $10.43 per submission);
Pinellas Juvenile Assessment Center (PJAC)- $58,632 (698 bookings @$84 per booking).
Requests for services in excess of the number of contractual calls will be invoiced separately. Additionally,
at the end of the contract, any funds remaining from unused calls for service will be refunded to the city.
Funding for this contractual agreement is available in the Police Departments Fiscal Year 2011-2012

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an agreement between Clearwater Towing Service, Incorporated, and the City of Clearwater to provide towing, transport, and,
in some circumstances, storage services for Police Department directed towing, impounds, and vehicle seizures and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
In an effort to realize efficiencies within the Police Department, a Request for Proposal (RFP 21-11) was issued seeking a bifurcated tow
system to accommodate virtually all of the towing and impound services offered to the Police Department.
A five-member committee, comprised of employees from the Police Department, Traffic Engineering, and General Services, evaluated
the five responses to RFP 21-11; one response was eliminated from consideration as not meeting the scope of the issued RFP.
The Evaluation Committee ranked the four remaining responses; each response was judged based upon several factors, which included,
but was not limited to overall quality of facilities, number and overall quality of the vendors equipment, ability to accommodate Police
Department calls for services, and experience.
Clearwater Towing Service, Incorporated (1955 Carroll Street, Clearwater), and ABC Towing and Recovery, Incorporated (23499 U.S.
Highway 19 North, Clearwater), received the two highest rankings.
The agreement will effectively eliminate the current rotational list maintained by the Police Department, but would not prohibit a citizen
from requested towing services from a company of their choice, such as AAA.
In addition to personnel efficiencies, the Police Department could realize a savings under the terms of the contract, relating to the
removal of impounded and seized vehicles. In fiscal year 2009-2010, the Police Department paid slightly over $27,000 for costs
associated with seized and impounded vehicles.
Under the terms of this contract, vehicles would be seized or impounded at no cost to the Police Department.
The agreement calls for an initial two (2) year term, effective November 1, 2011 through October 31, 2013, with three optional one (1)
year extensions.
There will be a minimal impact to the Police Departments current and future operating budget(s) as a result of the agreement. Under
the terms of the agreement, the respective vendors are to be paid the sum of $100.00 per vehicle that is stored on behalf of the Police
Department for investigative purposes (maximum of five days storage). Each vendor will collect, and transfer to the Police Department,
a $20.00 fee for administrative costs associated with vehicles that are impounded by the Police Department. Payments will be funded
from the Departments operating budget (projected: $1,500.00). Administrative fees collected will be credited to the General Fund.
ABC Towing and Recovery, Incorporated, was unable to secure a lease agreement with the property owner of 23499 U.S. Highway 19
North, Clearwater. Subsequent negotiations have failed to produce a property that will fully meet the requirements of RFP 21-11.
Staff recommendation is to employ a single vendor towing system, with Clearwater Towing Service, Incorporated, as the selected
vendor.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the conveyance of a Perpetual Ingress and Egress Easement to Pinellas County over a 285 by 86 foot portion of a city-owned
parcel along the northern property limits of Sand Key Park and along the south side of Clearwater Pass; and authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Pinellas Countys Coastal Management Division is coordinating plans with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to renourish a
portion of Sand Key extending from just south of Sand Key Park to North Redington Beach. The purpose of the project,
estimated at $35 million, is to replace approximately 1.2 million cubic yards of sand. The project is expected to commence
November 2011, with completion in August 2012.
The City granted the County authorization to temporarily use the same area under similar terms and conditions for a beach
renourishment project in 2005. The County now requests that the City grant the easement in perpetuity to become periodically
effective from time to time only while a County-funded beach renourishment project is underway. In each instance, authority for
the County to utilize the subject easement commences with each project and terminates upon the completion of each project. The
easement area crosses the City seawall providing the project contractor waterside access for offloading equipment and supplies.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Work Order to Atkins North America Inc., Engineer of Record (EOR), in the amount of $107,736.20 for design of Jeffords
Street Outfall and approve a Cooperative Funding Agreement between the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD)
and the City of Clearwater for Implementation of BMPS in the Coastal Zone 1 Watershed at Jeffords Street (N270) in the amount of
$200,000 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The existing Jeffords Street Outfall is in Coastal Basin 1 and consists of grated inlets discharging into 1100 feet of 15 inch vitrified clay pipe
with the last 450 feet discharging through private property. This system collects stormwater from the area between Magnolia Street and
Jeffords Street and from Bay Avenue to St Josephs Sound.
The existing grated inlets clog up with leaves and debris, then the overflow washes the leaves and debris overland into Clearwater Harbor.
The replacement of this system will provide open throat inlets, relocate the system into the city's right of way and improve water quality by
utilizing a stormwater treatment structure to collect the leaves and debris.The Work Order to Atkins is for the design of a stormwater
conveyance and outfall system.
SWFWMD is funding an equal share up to 50% of the entire costs of the project up to $400,000 for maximum reimbursement, up to $200,000
for design and construction costs.
First quarter budget amendments will establish Capital Improvement Program project 0315-96177, Jeffords Street Outfall with $200,000 of
SWFWMD budget only and transfer $200,000 of Stormwater Utility Revenue from 0315-96170, Coastal Basins Projects to fund the project
and work order.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Future Land Use Map Amendment from the Transportation/Utility (T/U) classification to the Industrial Limited (IL)
Classification and a Zoning Atlas Amendment from the Institutional (I) District to the Industrial, Research and Technology (IRT)
District for property located at 1020 North Hercules Avenue (consisting of a portion of the Northwest 1/4 of Section 12, Township 29
South, Range 15 East), and pass Ordinances 8281-11 and 8282-11 on first reading.(LUP2011-07002 and REZ2011-07004)
SUMMARY:
This future land use map amendment and rezoning application involves a 0.99 acre site, located on the southwest corner of North
Hercules Avenue and Palmetto Street. This property has a Future Land Use Map classification of Transportation/Utility (T/U) and
zoning designation of Institutional (I). The applicant is requesting to amend the future land use classification to the Industrial Limited
(IL) classification and the zoning district to the Industrial, Research and Technology (IRT) District.
The property is owned by the City of Clearwater and is currently being redeveloped by Clearwater Gas Station as a compressed natural
gas filling station limited to municipal vehicle use (governmental use). There is a gate station (i.e., above ground gas piping, valves, and
regulators) which will remain on the southern portion of the property. The requested amendments are necessary so that Clearwater Gas
System can operate the facility as an automobile service station use, allowing the public to purchase compressed natural gas at the
facility. The station is designed to have four dispensers, servicing up to eight vehicles, and will be unmanned.
The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed future land use map amendment and zoning atlas
amendment is consistent with the Community Development Code as specified below:
The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the Countywide Plan Rules, and the Community
Development Code.
The proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding property and character of the neighborhood.
The available uses in the Industrial, Research and Technology (IRT) District are compatible with the surrounding area.
In accordance with the Countywide Plan Rules, the land use plan amendment is subject to the approval of the Pinellas Planning Council
and the Board of County Commissioners acting as the Countywide Planning Authority. The application is a small-scale amendment so
review and approval by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (Division of Community Planning) is not required.
The Community Development Board reviewed the Future Land Use Plan amendment and rezoning applications at its public hearing on
September 20, 2011 and unanimously recommended approval.
