    Amendments to Rule 40E-8.221, Florida Administrative Code to Revise the
    Minimum Flows and Levels (MFL) Criteria for the Caloosahatchee River (Staff contact, Don Medellin, ext. 6340)
    Agenda Item Background:
    In 2010, the Governing Board provided direction and funding to implement 11 new research studies on the Caloosahatchee River to re-evaluate the existing
    Minimum Flows and Levels (MFL) rule. In 2016, the 11 studies were presented for review and technical input at a 2-day Public Science Symposium in Ft. Myers. Since then, additional scientific analyses and modeling were conducted to develop revised MFL criteria. In 2017, a 5-member panel of independent scientific experts reviewed the draft MFL Technical Document, visited the
    Caloosahatchee River and held a public peer review session. The District received a very positive peer review of the MFL technical document and the scientific approaches and methodologies used to revise the MFL criteria. In 2018, two rule development public workshops were held in Ft Myers. In response to public input, District scientists have completed additional scientific analyses and revised the duration criteria of the MFL rule. Based on this compilation of scientific studies, monitoring, modeling, technical evaluations, peer review and public input, staff proposes to amend Rule 40E-8.221, F.A.C., to increase the MFL flow criteria at the S-79 structure from 300 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 400 cfs and to revise the duration and return frequency components of the ML criteria. The Joint Administrative Procedures Committee has reviewed the proposed rule and does not have any comments.
    Recommended Action:
    Adopt amendments to Rule 40E-8.221, Florida Administrative Code to revise the Minimum Flows and Levels (MFL) criteria for the Caloosahatchee River.

    Lock Tender Contract Services for the Operation of Navigational Boat Locks –
    Clewiston, Okeechobee and St. Cloud Areas of Responsibility, Glades, Hendry,
    Martin, Okeechobee, Osceola and Polk Counties (Staff contact, Chris Edelstein, ext. 2952)
    Agenda Item Background:
    The District owns 11 navigational boat locks that allow for public boating access within Lake Okeechobee and along the Kissimmee River Waterway from Lake Tohopekaliga to Lake Okeechobee. Six of the locks are located on the perimeter of Lake Okeechobee and five are located within the Kissimmee River Waterway. This contract provides for annual lock tender services to operate the 11 locks.
    Recommended Action:
    Resolution No. 2018 – 0920 Authorize a 3-year contract with one 2-year renewal option with ECO Preservation Services, LLC, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, for operational services of District navigational boat locks within Lake Okeechobee and along the Kissimmee River
    Waterway in Glades, Hendry, Martin, Okeechobee, Osceola and Polk counties in an amount not-to-exceed $3,323,487, subject to Governing Board approval of future year budgets. (Contract Number 4600003871)
