2. Staff
recommends motion to approve: a Settlement
in the amount of $402,800, including attorney’s fees, but excluding costs, in
the eminent domain action styled Palm Beach County v. Michael Martin, et al.,
Case No. 502005CA006339XXXXMB, for the fee simple taking of five (5) acres of
vacant land in Indian Lake Estates. SUMMARY: The
County has negotiated a settlement for Parcel 4, which is five (5) acres of
vacant land in the Indian Lake Estates subdivision, in the amount of $402,800,
including attorney’s fees, but excluding costs, subject to the approval of the
Board of County Commissioners. The
expert engineers and appraisers for the County and property owner agreed that
the land is buildable and suitable for residential use. The County previously deposited $190,000 as
its initial good faith deposit and estimate of value. The County’s appraiser updated his appraisal
through the date of taking and would testify at trial that the value of the subject
property is $225,000, while the owner’s expert appraiser concluded that the
value of the subject property was $450,000.
The proposed settlement is $350,000 for the value of the land, plus
attorney’s fees in the amount of $52,800, that were calculated mathematically
pursuant to Florida law. If this
settlement is approved, the County would be required to pay an additional
$212,800, which includes attorney’s fees, but excludes costs. District 1 (PM)
E. COMMUNITY SERVICES
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Amendment No. 1 to the Contract with
Adopt-A-Family of the Palm Beaches, Inc. (R2006-2715; dated December 19, 2006)
to extend the contract period to December 31, 2007. SUMMARY: On December 19, 2006, the Board of County
Commissioners approved a contract with Adopt-A-Family
of the Palm Beaches, Inc. for the construction of six (6), three (3)
bedroom affordable housing rental townhomes to be made available to homeless
families. The original contract ending
date was June 30, 2007. However, zoning
and permitting issues delayed construction and prevented commencement of this
project. These factors have been
addressed and construction is ready to begin. Because of the construction delay, an
amendment is needed to extend the contract ending date. Funds have been received from the State and
full expenditure of funds is anticipated by December 31, 2007. (Human Services) District 3 (TKF)

approved a contract with The Center for
Family Services of Palm Beach County, Inc. for after hours emergency
shelter placement, food, transportation and ongoing case management to homeless
persons until alternate placement can be arranged. During the year, outreach efforts yielded an

This increase in service need has

SUMMARY: On December 17, 2002, the Board approved the
initial Lease Agreement with the School Board for a term of three (3) years

SUMMARY: On January 16,
2003, the County acquired a 1,152 sf +/- single family home on a .26 +/- acre
parcel of land located at 328 Urquhart Street in unincorporated Lake
Worth. PBSO has used the property since
its acquisition for the purpose of conducting law enforcement activities to
support the community revitalization efforts in the area. PBSO has determined that the area is
stabilized and their presence is no longer required. The property was advertised for sale and a
Request for Bids (RFB) was issued in April 2007. The RFB limited potential bidders to those: (i)
whose household incomes did not exceed 140% of the local area median income, as
determined by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation and adjusted for family
size; and (ii) who would use the property as their Homestead. Only one (1) bid was received from Maria M.
Johnson for $119,998. The property is
assessed by the Property Appraisers Office at $109,214. An appraisal obtained by staff valued the
property at $200,000. The property is
being sold “As Is”. The County will
provide a title insurance policy and a loan policy at an estimated cost of
$1,400. Resale of the property is
restricted for a period of three (3) years to those persons who will occupy and
homestead the property as their principal place of residence and whose
household incomes do not exceed 140% of the local area medium income. Closing is to occur within 21 days of Board

motion to approve: Change Order No. 4 to the Contract with AKA
Services, Inc. (R2006-1003) for the Northern Region Utility Improvement Project
Phase II, adjusting the contract amount by $633,404.31. SUMMARY:
On June 6, 2006, the Board approved a contract with AKA Services,
Inc. in the amount of $8,745,000 for construction of various sizes of water and
force mains and related appurtenances along Northlake Boulevard, Hamlin Avenue,
and Seminole Pratt-Whitney Road. In
conjunction with the County’s Sales and Use Tax Recovery Program, various materials
were deleted from AKA Service’s (AKA) scope of work in Change Order No. 1
(R2006-1004). Purchase Orders PBC
04-227-01 and PBC 04-227-02 were subsequently issued to vendors for direct
purchase of these materials by the County.
This resulted in estimated sales tax savings of $137,312.11. A final reconciliation of direct purchased
materials indicates fewer materials were utilized than originally
estimated. The combined value of
materials utilized for this project was $1,787,169.89 as compared to the $2,288,535.13
authorized for purchase, resulting in a difference of $501,365.24. As a result of the quantity reduction, the
contract with AKA must be
increased by $531,447.15 ($501,365.24 plus 6% sales tax) to reconcile Change
Order No. 1. The final sales tax savings
to the County on this project is $107,230.19.
In addition to reconciling purchase orders, this change order authorizes
the Contractor to replace sidewalk handicap ramps, dispose of unsuitable soils
encountered along Seminole Pratt-Whitney Road, and address two (2) utility
conflicts in the amount of $101,957.16. Total
change orders to date, excluding the sales tax recovery program change order,
equal $325,966 (3.7%). The Small

construction of various sizes of water and force mains and related
appurtenances along La Mancha Avenue and Okeechobee Boulevard. In conjunction with the County’s Sales and

04-125B-02 were subsequently issued to vendors for direct purchase of these
materials by the County. This resulted
in estimated sales tax savings of $88,319.77.
A final reconciliation of direct purchased materials indicates fewer

this project was $942,772.88 as compared to the $1,471,966.22 authorized for

construction of the Telemetry Information & Management System (TIMS)
Upgrade Project with Engineer Service
Corporation being the low bidder in the
amount of $1,219,000. This project provides remote telemetry units

mathematical error was made by the Contractor in the addition of the individual
