REQUESTED ACTION: Staff Recommends Approval Meeting Type: Regular Meeting DATE OF MEETING: 5/12/2026 CONTRACT: ☒ N/A Vendor/Entity: Effective Date: Termination Date: Managing Division / Dept: Administrative Services BUDGET IMPACT: N/A FUNDING SOURCE: Type: N/A EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT: HISTORY/FACTS/ISSUES: Section 125.0104 of Florida Statutes authorizes the Sumter County Board of County Commissioners to levy and impose a Tourist Development Tax on the exercise of the privilege of renting, leasing, or letting for consideration any living quarters or accommodations within the County boundaries, in any hotel, apartment hotel, motel, resort motel, apartment, apartment motel, roominghouse, mobile home park, recreational vehicle park, condominium, or timeshare resort for a term of six (6) months or less. On October 13, 2020, the Board repealed the Sumter County Tourist Development Tax Ordinance, effective September 30, 2020. The Board has discussed in workshops re-establishing the tourist development tax within the County boundaries. The first step in this process would be for the Board to establish a Tourist Development Council (TDC) to prepare and submit to the Board a plan for tourist development setting forth anticipated net development tax revenue for 24 months following the levy of the tax; the tax district in which the enactment or renewal of the ordinance levying and imposing the tourist development tax is proposed; and a list, in the order of priority, of the proposed uses of the tax revenue by specific project or special use as the same are authorized under subsection (5). The plan shall include the approximate cost or expense allocation for each specific project or special use. The members of the TDC would be nine members comprised of the BOCC Chair, One (1) Muncipality Seat, One (1) Municipality (Large) Seat, Three (3) Tourist Industry Seats, and Three (3) RV/Motel Owner Seats. In order to meet statutory deadlines, applications to the TDC need to be considered at the time of the public hearing on May 12, 2026. Prepared by: Leslie Smith Grammarly Check ☒

Joe P. Strickland Jr. Ave. Bushnell, FL 33513 Date: April 14, 2026 Our Ref: Subject: Air Quality Analysis Services Dear Ms. Wilson, Thank you for the opportunity to provide our proposal for the requested Air Quality Analysis Services for the City of Bushnell (City). The sections below detail our understanding of the services requested by the City and our proposed scope and fees for this project. Project Background The City has been receiving complaints from residents over the last few years for a variety of odors, and the residents have asked the City to conduct odor analyses using instrumentation to provide more information about the odor compounds present in the air and potential local sources. The City contacted Arcadis U.S., Inc. (Arcadis) requesting professional services to conduct these analyses, which are included in the scope of services below. Scope of Services This scope of services provides a detailed description of the work to be performed as part of this project, and includes the following activities: Task 1 – Project Management & Kick Off Meeting This task includes the overall management and administrative support work. Activities include, but are not limited to, project setup, data and record keeping, resource planning and coordination, internal and external communications and correspondence, quality control, schedule and budget monitoring, invoice management, and project close-out. Arcadis shall conduct a virtual project kick-off meeting with City staff to review the project, identify data and information needs, establish communication protocols, and address other issues (if any) related to the project. Task 1 Deliverables • Monthly invoice(s) • Kickoff meeting agenda and minutes

If this proposal is accepted and a contract is awarded to Arcadis as a result of — or in connection with — the submission of this proposal, Arcadis and/or the client shall have the right to make appropriate revisions of its terms, including scope and price, for purposes of the contract. Further, client shall have the right to duplicate, use or disclose the data contained in this proposal only to the extent provided in the resulting contract. www.arcadis.com 2/5 • Request for Information Task 2 – Documentation Review Arcadis shall review the City’s odor complaint logs and other available documentation, either provided by the City or available from online sources related to potential odor sources at the following nine local sites: • The Heart of Florida Landfill • Compost USA • Heartland Agro Splenda Stevia Extraction Facility • Great Southern Wood Preserving • UAS America • Eagles Roofing • Air Curtain Incinerator • Trademarks Metals Recycling • City of Bushnell Wastewater Treatment Facility Task 3 – Field Sample Events Six sample events will be conducted that will involve odor measurement at the nine local sites listed in Task 2 over a two-week period by a team consisting of two Arcadis engineers trained in odor measurement. Upon arrival at each facility, the team will measure wind direction and speed using a handheld weather meter. The wind direction and speed will be recorded, and the team will then move downwind and outside the property limits of the facility to measure odors and collect an air sample on designated sample events. Odors will be characterized at each facility as follows on all sample events: • The following odor parameters will be measured: o Odor concentration using the Nasal Ranger field olfactometer. Odor concentration will be quantified in units of Dilution-to-Threshold (D/T). o The odor Intensity, odor descriptors and Hedonic tone will be perceived and reported. • Hydrogen sulfide will be measured by a Jerome Meter. • Ammonia will be measured by colorimetric gas detector tube. On three of the six sample events, an air sample will be collected in a Summa canister and will be shipped to a laboratory for analysis. An air flow regulator will be used with the Summa canister so that the air sample is collected over a 30-minute period. The laboratory analysis of the air samples collected will include the following parameters: • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS), also referred to as TO-15 • Total Reduced Sulfur Compounds (ASTM 5504)
