Administration Recommendation Adopt the Resolution. Analvsis For over a decade, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has been engaged in cooperative funding programs for alternative water supply projects. Increases in demands on natural supplies of freshwater led the Florida Legislature to enact a statute in 1995 whereby Water Management Districts would share a portion of their ad valorem revenue with entities willing to develop cost-effective, safe and appropriate alternative water supplies. The recent drought and ensuing water shortage in South Florida has emphasized the need to develop alternative water supplies, particularly because Miami- Dade County has now been classified by SFWMD as a Water Resource Caution Area. The City of Miami Beach, in order to be responsive to the needs for water conservation, yet balance the needs of the community, has proposed an innovative alternative water supply design, based on the reuse of water, to irrigate Bayshore Golf course. The City intends to leverage City funds by applying to SFWMD for funding for this capital project. The design uses the lakes on the golf course as the principal irrigation source. Utilizing the brackish water in the lakes to irrigate the golf course will allow water expenses to be reduced. Additionally, this method of alternative water source for irrigation provides substantial long-term savings to the City. This method of irrigation along with the grass type suitable for this irrigation method (paspalum) was approved by the City Commission at the February 20,2002 City Commission meeting. The grant requires that eligible projects help to avoid adverse effects of competition for water supplies; support the establishment of a dependable, sustainable alternative supply of water; help to enhance isolated wetlands by helping to protect the Everglades and other environmentally sensitive areas, and, facilitate aquifer protection by implementing reuse, storage, recharge or conservation of water in a manner that contributes to the sustainability of regional water sources. The City of Miami Beach's proposal correlates to the mission, responsibilities and goals of the SFWMD. The City is requesting an amount not to exceed $250,000 in grant funds from the South Florida Water Management District. The program requires matching funds. The City currently has $408,218 available in Gulf Breeze Loan Funds and $487,565 in Undesignated Fund Balance for this water conservation project. The total project cost is $895,783. These funds will represent the required match. The application deadline is April 3, 2002. In conclusion, the Administration recommends approval of this Resolution ofthe Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, authorizing the City Manager or His Designee to submit an application for grant funds from the South Florida Water Management District for funding of an alternative water supply project at Bayshore Golf Course, in an amount not to exceed $250,000 to be matched with $250,000 of City funding from Gulf Breeze Loan Funds; further appropriating the grant if approved and accepted by the City; and authorizing th Mayor and City Clerk to execute all necessary documents related to thd~~~on.

As part of the City's Capital Improvements Program, which included extensive citizen participation, the City (agreed) to renovate and upgrade the Bayshore Golf Course. It is important to note that the Water Conservation Irrigation Project is submitted to SFWMD as a separate project from the remainder of the Golf Course Renovations Project. An important part of this renovation/redesign is the construction of a new irrigation system, which is the request included in this proposal. The City's' Comprehensive Plan was adopted by Ordinance on June 2, 1994 and was subsequently readopted in 1996 to include additional priorities. The City's Comprehensive Plan, Part 2, Objective 2 states that the City shall "ensure that.. .recreational facilities are adequately and efficiently provided by enforcing level of service standards and related guidelines..." The Comprehensive Plan continues to provide level of service standards for golf courses. The irrigation project at Bayshore Golf Course is critical. The City was previously using a flow of in excess of 350,000 gallons per day peak use to irrigate the course through the years, using the City's fresh water utility system. The new golf course will use brackish water, thus saving the City and the area a significant amount of fresh treated water. SCODe The design uses the lakes on the golf course as the principal irrigation source. Utilizing the brackish water in the lakes to irrigate the golf course will allow water expenses to be reduced. Additionally, this method of alternative water source for irrigation provides substantiallong-tenn savings to the City. This method of irrigation along with the grass type suitable for this irrigation method (paspalum) was approved by the City Commission at the February 20, 2002 City Commission meeting. The grant requires that eligible projects help to avoid adverse effects of competition for water supplies; support the establishment of a dependable, sustainable alternative supply of water; help to enhance isolated wetlands by helping to protect the Everglades and other environmentally sensitive areas, and, facilitate aquifer protection by implementing reuse, storage, recharge or conservation of water in a manner that contributes to the C-15917 Page 2 of 9 sustainability of regional water sources. The City of Miami Beach's proposal correlates to the mission, responsibilities and goals of the SFWMD. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) During the design phase of this project, the design firm was asked to investigate and provide an evaluation of alternatives for irrigation water supply for the Bayshore Golf Course. For a number of years, the golf course had been irrigated by potable water supplied by the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Authority. Based on the project schedule and funding limitations at the time, the consultant recommended the use of a horizontal well system. However, after further testing, the consultant discovered that the fresh water lens was not as extensive as previously assumed, thus this alternative was not very feasible. The City and consultant's alternative recommendation was to use the brackish water available from the existing lakes on the golf course for the irrigation water supply. As a result of using the brackish water for the irrigation water supply several changes had to be made to accommodate this system, including the use of salt tolerant turf grass (Paspalum), salt tolerant landscaping and upgrade of the irrigation system to tolerate brackish water. The Bayshore Golf Course Irrigation system will consist of a network of distribution piping supplied from the existing lakes and two new lakes within the course. These lakes will be interconnected and will store brackish water, which will be retained on site from the drainage system, from water table intrusion and from rain storage. This water will be pumped from one of the lakes and distributed by two booster pumps within a single pump station building. The pumps as well as the piping fittings will be upgraded to tolerate brackish water distribution. The grass on the project has been changed to a species tolerant of brackish water. The complete golf course irrigation will be accomplished by using brackish water except for the perimeter where some landscape material not tolerant to salt water is located. The golf course has been irrigated through the years by using the City's fresh water utility system at a flow of approximately 350,000 gallons per day peak use. The new golf course will be flowing approximately 500,000 gallons per day peak use of brackish water, thus saving the City and the area a significant amount of fresh treated water. A make-up and emergency connection to the City's utility system will be provided for the perimeter landscape area; for flushing the salt tolerant grass which requires fresh water at least for one daily irrigation cycle every two months; and for emergency purposes such as extensive drought periods. The use of brackish water will offer the City substantial savings on a permanent basis. Location of the Proiect The Bayshore Golf Course is located in the Middle Beach region of the City of Miami Beach. A site map is attached. The Water Conservation Project will be implemented throughout the entire golf course using water from existing lakes and two new lakes within the course. C-15917 Page 3 of 9 Deliverable Schedule See attached schedule. Conclusion As this proposal demonstrates the City of Miami Beach's Water Conservation System: 1. Avoids Competition By reusing brackish water from the lakes on the golf course, it will avoid the adverse effects of competition for water supplies by no longer utilizing the City's treated, fresh water supply. 2. Consistency with Plans Consistent with the recommendation of the City's Comprehensive Plan. It is listed as a priority project in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and is consistent with the City and the SFWMD's goal of water conservation and reuse. It is an innovative plan. The City had originally planned to use a horizontal well system, when this proved unfeasible; the City persevered and designed a feasible water conservation project, which it proposes to implement. 3. Dependable sustainable supply The lakes exist on the golf course itself. They are a dependable sustainable supply. 4. Environmental Benefits This project will enhance isolated wetlands, protect the Everglades and other environmentally sensitive areas by utilizing reuse water from another source. 5. Reuse, Storage, Recharge, Conservation This is a reuse project, storage and recharge of water is onsite. This will reduce the dependency on fresh water. 6. Minimum flow and Levels 7. Innovation The design is innovative. The City had to creatively redesign the water conservation project when it was discovered that horizontal wells were not feasible. Additionally, the City had an innovative approach by proposing special salt-tolerant grass. 8. Cost Effectiveness Installation is cost effective.
