DISTRICT'S performance and payment pursuant to this Agreement are contingent
upon the DISTRICT'S Governing Board appropriating funds for the PROJECT.
4. FLORIDA SINGLE AUDIT ACT. Funding for this Agreement includes state financial
assistance and is therefore subject to the Florida Single Audit Act (FSAA), Section
215.97, F.S. The CITY is a subrecipient of state financial assistance under this
Agreement and therefore may be subject to audits and monitoring as described in the
Special Audit Requirements set forth in Exhibit "D." The CITY must also use the Florida
Single Audit Act Checklist For Non-State Organizations - Recipient/Subrecipient vs.

Page 3 of 7
(WUPs), the CITY will secure long term written agreements with those customers
served by the PROJECT, ensuring utilization of reclaimed water at the proposed
capacity, as described in this Agreement, for a minimum of 20 years. The CITY will
ensure said customers will provide the PROJECT'S proposed offsets of existing or
planned, ground water or surface water withdrawals, under normal operating
conditions. Written notification that all such agreements have been secured will be
provided to the DISTRICT'S Project Manager prior to initiating construction of the
PROJECT, and copies will be furnished upon request.
12. RECLAIMED WATER GIS REQUIREMENTS. Reclaimed water facility information will
be delivered to the DISTRICT, preferably as four separate Arclnfo coverages or ESRI
shapefiles, as detailed below. If the CITY is unable to provide the reclaimed water
facility information in the preferred formats, the CITY must obtain the DISTRICT'S
written approval of a mutually acceptable alternative format. The DISTRICT'S GIS
Manager and each party's Project Manager must approve the written summary of the

to the DISTRICT upon completion of PROJECT construction and prior to submission
of the final invoice.
Coverages will have the following characteristics:
~ Double Precision.
~ Projection of Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Zone 17, NAD 83/90 datum
(HPGN), units of meters or State Plane Feet, West Zone, NAD 83/90 datum.
~ Full topological structure with no edit masks.
~ Verified FUZZY tolerance of .001 meters.
Shape files will have the following characteristics:
~ Projection of Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Zone 17, NAD 83/90 datum
(HPGN), units of meters or State Plane Feet, West Zone, NAD 83/90 datum.
~ All line features will be snapped at connecting ends.
~ Shared borders of adjacent polygon features will have exact coincidence. No
slivers are permissible. This requirement is analogous to the topological
requirements for Arclnfo polygon coverages.
These data files are designed to be developed using heads-up digitizing techniques
from 1 :12,000 digital orthophotos. Higher accuracies are permissible, but the attribute
and topological structures defined below will be adhered to. If requested, the
DISTRICT will provide technical assistance and digital orthophoto basemaps that can
be used for data automation. All data files will be delivered on CDROMs, or if
approved in writing, transfers via Internet FTP will be accepted. The following data

PROJECT PLAN
SKYCREST RECLAIMED WATER PROJECT (L695)
NARRATIVE:
This alternative water supply PROJECT consists of the design and construction of reclaimed
water transmission mains, distribution piping, a 5 MG storage tank and high service pump
station in the Skycrest area of the CITY that will interconnect the CITY'S East and West
reclaimed water systems and provide service to the Skycrest area of the CITY.
PROJECT INFORMATION
1. TYPE OF PROJECT:
The PROJECT consists of the design, permitting and construction of reclaimed water
transmission mains, distribution piping, a 5 MG storage tank and high service pump
station in the Skycrest area of the CITY.
2. PROJECT OBJECTIVE:
The goal of this PROJECT is to replace existing potable water and potable quality
groundwater used for irrigation with reclaimed water. This endeavor represents a
timely opportunity to leverage CITY and DISTRICT funds for a PROJECT that will be
integral in interconnecting the CITY'S two reclaimed water systems and offset high
potable water use in an areas that do not have access to reclaimed water.
The CITY'S overall reclaimed water objective is to develop a system that will offset
potable quality water by providing reclaimed water for irrigation and other approved non-
potable uses. The PROJECT described below will assist the CITY in attaining the goal
of building a citywide reclaimed water system.
3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A. A PROJECT location map for the PROJECT and the Skycrest area is attached as
Figure 1.
B. The PROJECT includes:
. Approximately 16,500 linear feet of 24" diameter reclaimed water and 4,000
linear feet of 16-inch transmission mains
Page 1 of 5
. Approximately 50,000 linear feet of 4" to 6" diameter reclaimed water
distribution mains
. A 5 MG ground storage tank
. A high service pump station
C. The PROJECT will connect the CITY'S East reclaimed water service area with their
West reclaimed water service area. The PROJECT will also interconnect the
CITY'S three wastewater treatment plants, give the ability to move reclaimed water
to areas of high demand, and provide for the pumping and storage necessary to
serve additional customers in the central part of the CITY.
D. There are approximately 700 single-family residential customers in the PROJECT'S
distribution service area. Nearly 500 residential irrigation customers are
anticipated to connect to the system, of those, 450 customers are using potable
water (224 have separate lawn meters and 42 are using deep wells). It is
estimated that they will use 0.33 million gallons per day (mgd) of reclaimed water
to offset 0.17 mgd of potable quality water. The main distribution portion of the
PROJECT is located north of US Highway 60, west of Hercules Avenue Road, east
of Keene Road and south of Palmetto Street.
E. Eight commercial customers including Clearwater Golf Park (6,400 gpd flow; 4,800
gpd offset WUP# 011816), David Martin Baseball Complex (6,400 gpd flow; 4,800
gpd offset), are also anticipated to connect. In addition to the Skycrest portions of
the PROJECT, this PROJECT also includes minor distribution piping around the
CITY such as Countryside High School (60,000 gpd flow; 45,000 gpd offset WUP#
007980), and to cooling towers at the Pinellas County Government Complexes in
Clearwater (6,000 gpd flow; 6,000 gpd offset). The remaining customers are
churches, commercial properties, common areas, and others. It is estimated that
these commercial customers will use approximately 0.08 million gallons per day
(mgd) of reclaimed water to offset more than 0.06 mgd of potable quality water. At
PROJECT build-out the CITY anticipates serving more than 600 customers;
however the offsets above (3d, and 3e) only include the initial 500 customers.
4. DEMONSTRATION OF NEED:
A. This PROJECT will optimize water management in the CITY by reducing the water
withdrawn from well fields and from irrigation wells, and reduce the disposal of
effluent water to Tampa Bay and Clearwater Harbor.
B. This PROJECT will help meet Pinellas-Anclote Basin Board Priorities by reducing
groundwater withdrawal, reducing pollutant loading to Tampa Bay and Clearwater
Harbor, and to help recharge aquifers in accordance with the Needs and Sources
report.
Page 2 of 5
C. This PROJECT is supported by goals found in previous years Basin Board's plans,
State Water Policy, the Florida Water Plan, Reports of the Tampa Bay National
Estuary Program, DISTRICT Needs and Sources Study, the Water Use Cautionary
Management Plan, and area Comprehensive Planning Documents to maximize the
reuse of highly treated wastewater.
D. This PROJECT is consistent with the update of the CITY'S Reclaimed Water
Expansion Plan.
E. Funding for the PROJECT is included in the CITY'S Capital Improvement Plan.
5. MEASURABLE BENEFITS:
This PROJECT will interconnect the CITY'S East and West Reclaimed Water Service
Areas and support the delivery of approximately 0.41 mgd of reclaimed water to the
PROJECT area. The expansion of reclaimed water service to these areas will offset an
estimated 0.25 mgd of current potable water and potable quality groundwater used for
non-potable uses, as well as enable future expansion of the CITY'S system.

A. Bi-Monthly Design/Construction Status Reports
B. Preliminary PROJECT design
C. 20-year customer commitment agreements
D. Copy of CITY ordinance/code requiring dual distribution lines in new developments

7. PROJECT COST:
The total cost of this PROJECT is $10,838,000. The DISTRICT'S share is 50 percent,
or $5,419,000. The Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board will fund $512,500 in FY2007
and the remaining $4,906,500 will be requested in future fiscal years. The cost
amortized at 8 percent over 30 years is $10.44 per thousand gallons offset, however
the cost effectiveness is not as excessive as it appears, as more than half of the
PROJECT costs are associated with the interconnect and storage facility portions of
the PROJECT which are imperative for the continued expansion of reclaimed water in
the CITY.
The CITY will fund its share of PROJECT costs from the Water and Sewer Enterprise
funds including revenues from the sale of reclaimed water. The funds for the PROJECT
are included in the adopted Capital Improvement Plan.

When the scheduled conclusion of an event prevents a traveler from returning home by a
reasonable hour, the Department Director must determine whether an additional overnight
accommodation is warranted. If approved, the traveler's departure shall be scheduled for the
following morning. If the traveler chooses to delay departure without approval, the use of
personal leave will be required and per diem and lodging expenses may be waived.
In order to achieve a cost savings to the District, the District may contract directly with a hotel.
TRANSPORTATION: All travel must be by a usually traveled route utilizing the most efficient
and economical means. It is the responsibility of the traveler's department to determine the
most efficient and economical means prior to scheduling any travel arrangements. It is

FLORIDA SINGLE AUDIT ACT CHECKLIST FOR NON-STATE ORGANIZATIONS -
RECIPIENT/SUBRECIPIENT VS. VENDOR DETERMINATION
This checklist and the standard contract audit language may be obtained electronically from the Executive Office of the Governor's website
(http://www.myflorida.com/myflorida/governmentigovemorinitiativeslfsaa/index.html).
.I{ a Florida Single AuditAct State Project Determination Checklist has not been previously completed, please complete it
now. (Applies only to State agencies)
This checklist must be used by State agencies to evaluate the applicability of the Florida Single Audit Act (FSAA) to non-
state organizations 1 after a state program has been determined (using the Florida Single Audit Act State Project
Determination Checklist) to provide state financial assistance (Le. is a State Project as defined in 215.97 (2)(r), F.S.). This
checklist assists in determining if the non-state organization is a vendor, recipientlsubrecipient, or an exempt organization.
1 A non-state organization is defined as a nonprofit organization, for-profit organization (including sole proprietors), or
Florida local government (excluding district school boards, charter schools and community colleges), which receives
State resources.
Recipients and subrecipients of state financial assistance must also use this checklist to evaluate the applicability of the
FSAA to non-state organizations to which they provide State resources to assist in carrying out a State Project.
Name ofNon-stat~ Organization:
Type of Non-state Organization:
(Le. nonprofit. for-profit, local government; if the non-state organization is a local government, please indicate the type of
local government - municipality, county commission, constitutional officer, water management district, etc.)
Awarding Agency:
Title of State Project:
Catalog of State Financial Assistance (CSFA) Number:
Contract/Grant/Agreement Number:
PART A
YES NO
1. Is the non-state organization a district school board, charter school, community college,
government/public university outside of Florida or a Federal agency?
2. Is the relationship with the non-state organization only to procure commodities (as defined in
287.012(5) F.S.)?
3. Does the relationship with the non-state organization consist of only Federal resources, State
matching resources for Fed~ral Programs or local matching resources for Federal Programs?
4. Does the relationship with the non-state organization consist of only State maintenance of effort
(MOE)2 resources that meet all of the following criteria? .
A. Do Federal Regulations specify the requirements for the use of the State MOE resources and
are there no additional State requirements?
B. Do contracts contain sufficient language to identify the State MOE resources and the associated
Federal Program?
C. Do A-133 audit requirements apply to the State MOE resources and do contracts stipulate that
the State MOE resources should be tested in an A-133 audit in accordance with Federal
Program requirements?
2 MOE refers to the Federal maintenance of effort/level of effort requirements as defined by OMB Circular A-133
Compliance Requirement G (Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking).
If any of 1-4 above is yes, the recipient/vendor relationship determination does not need to be completed because the.
FSAA is not applicable to the non-state organization.

Relationship
Determination:
The following should be analyzed for each relationship with a non-state organization where it has been detennined that the state
. program provides state financial assistance (i.e. is a State Project) and the non-state organization is not exempt based on the questions
above. This relationship may be evidenced by, but not limited to, a contract, agreement, or application.
YES NO
1. Does State law or legislative proviso create the non-state organization to carry out this State Project?
2. Is the non-state organization required to provide matching resources not related to a Federal Program?
3. Is the non-state organizatibn required to meet or comply with specified State Project requirements in order to receive
State resources? (State Project requirements include laws, rules, or guidelines specific to the State Project such as
eligibility guidelines, specified types of jqbs to be created, donation of specified assets, etc. Specified State Project
requiremt;nts do not include procurement standards, general guidelines, or general laws/rules.)
4. Is the non-state organization required to make State Project decisions, which the State agency would otherw:ise
make? (e.g. determine eligibility, provide case management, etc.)
5. Is the non-state organization's performance measured against whether State Project objectives are met? (e.g. number
of jobs to be created, number of patients to be seen, number of disadvantaged citizens to be transported, etc.
Performance measures mayor may not be related to State performance-based budgeting.)
If any of the above is yes, there is a recipientlsubrecipient relationship and the non-state organization is subject to the
FSAA. Otherwise the non-state organization is a vendor and is not subject to the FSAA.
