B) Budget Transfer of $14,700 in the Transportation Improvement Fund from Road Program Sweep Reserves to Agreement with the COE on behalf of Engineering and Public Works Department; and

 

C) Waiver of advance payment prohibition cited in County Policy and Procedure Memorandum No. CW-F-049 for this Agreement.

 

SUMMARY: Proposed is a one (1) year extension of an existing two (2) year Agreement with the COE which expires September 30, 2009.  User Departments have indicated a significant benefit from the existing Agreement during the last two (2) years. Airports, Engineering & Public Works, Environmental Resources Management and Water Utilities all cite time and cost savings as well as making grant application deadlines that otherwise may have been missed as benefits of the existing Agreement. The County is required to advance the estimated salary cost associated with the Agreement.  Typically, an advance is not authorized by County contracts.  However, staff is seeking a Board waiver of this policy because these permitting services are deemed necessary for County business, and the Agreement mitigates risk of loss by requiring periodic reconciliations.  For this Agreement extension, the first payment is prorated for the period ending December 31, 2009.  Currently, the COE’s authority to accept funds expires on that date.  It is anticipated that the COE’s authority will be extended.  A second payment would then be made to carry the Agreement through to September 30, 2010.  Should the COE’s authority not be extended, the Agreement will expire on December 31, 2009. The Agreement may be renewed annually.  Countywide (SF)

U.        INFORMATION SYSTEM SERVICES

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Donation of 300 obsolete tape cartridges to the School Board of St. Lucie County and authorize future donations to other government agencies which may submit similar requests. SUMMARY: The Information Systems Services (ISS) Department recently modernized the mainframe computer data storage system to reduce cost and free up valuable floor space in the computer center on the fourth floor of the Government Center. The new storage system uses modern high density data storage media that can store significantly more information making the several generations of old tape cartridges obsolete. ISS currently owns approximately 10,000 storage tapes purchased over the last five (5) to seven (7) years. The tapes have nominal value with a resale value of approximately $0.05 each.  These cartridges were used to store backup copies of application files from the County’s mainframe computer.  ISS was recently contacted by the School Board of St. Lucie County which still uses the old storage configuration and plans to continue to do so for several more years.  Their current tape media is aging and they require reliable units to maintain backup files in case of a system failure.  The School Board of St. Lucie County has submitted a request for 300 tapes for their backup operations.  ISS also requests Board approval to donate tapes to other governmental agencies as may be identified prior to transferring the remaining tapes to the Solid Waste Authority for disposal. Board approval at this time will avoid the requirement for submitting additional requests. Countywide (PK)

B) authorize the County Administrator or his designee, ISS Director, to increase services, not to exceed 10% of the contract value ($30,868), in order to provide for any unforeseen changes to the inventory that could arise during the contract period.

 

SUMMARY:  This Supplement to the IBM ICA (R94-247D) provides for the ongoing annual software license charge for our current mainframe processor and data storage equipment.  The configuration of the IBM mainframe system software for the coming contract period has been thoroughly reviewed prior to developing this Agreement.  The maximum amount is structured in two (2) portions: 1) $308,679 based on the current inventory of IBM S/390 software; and 2) a 10% contingency, $30,868 to provide for any unforeseen changes to the inventory that could arise during the contract period.  Countywide  (PK)

Z.         RISK MANAGEMENT

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a $200,000 increase in the previously approved total not-to-exceed cost of $12,280,000 for renewal of the Excess Property & Liability Insurance Program for the period April 1, 2009, through March 31, 2010 purchased through the County’s contracted broker, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., under Contract No. 05-102/LJ. Summary: The Excess Property & Liability Insurance Program currently provides property insurance totaling $150 million inclusive of the County’s $1,000,000 self insured retention and liability insurance totaling $6 million inclusive of the County’s $500,000 self-insured retention. The program also includes various ancillary insurance policies covering damage to County-owned property resulting from flood, terrorism, boiler & machinery, and employee dishonesty. Additional funding approval is needed to reflect the additional cost resulting from a $32 million (1.6%) increase in reported values as well as the value of new construction projects expected to come on line prior to the expiration of our current property insurance policies. Sufficient funds are budgeted for this coverage. Countywide (TF)

 

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) Third annual option to renew the Amended and Restated Administrative Services Only Agreement (R2006-2287; dated October 17, 2006) with Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CIGNA) for claims administration services for the County’s self-funded triple option (HMO, POS, PPO) health insurance plan for the period January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2010; and

 

B) CIGNA’s proposed administrative fees and specific stop loss premiums for plan year 2010

 

SUMMARY: Staff recommends Board approval for the third annual option to renew the Administrative Services Only Agreement with CIGNA for the period January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2010. For plan year 2010, projected Board and employee premiums for the County’s triple-option health plans (HMO, POS & PPO) do not reflect an increase over the expiring plan year. Prior year plan gains due to less than expected claims experience have left the fund with a balance accumulation sufficient to negate a need to increase premiums. Eligible employees of Palm Tran, Inc. and the Supervisor of Elections will continue to participate in the health insurance plans along with the eligible employees of the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners. The total plan cost projected for all three entities is $59,852,341, a $4,008,506 increase over the projected cost for the expiring plan year. Sufficient funds have been budgeted to fund the program.

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a Budget Transfer of $10,000 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) to provide funding to the Gulf Stream Council of Boy Scouts of America, Inc.

The PBSO’s FY 2009 estimated donation requirement is $160,462. The funds are requested to aid qualified organizations that meet the requirements set forth in F.S. 932.7055.  The PBSO’s support of these programs exemplifies its strong commitment to the prevention and reduction of crime throughout the communities it serves and its desire to put money back into these communities to support organizations that provide such services.  The current State LETF balance is $1,783,661.  Approval of this request will reduce the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $1,773,661.  The year-to-date transfer for all donations after approval of this item is $898,594.  The PBSO certifies that the use of these funds is in accordance with F.S. 932.7055.  Below is a table indicating the organizations the PBSO seeks to fund and the corresponding amount of funding proposed per respective agency.

A) approve a Utility Easement Agreement with Lion’s Holding Company, LLC providing compensation in the amount of $5,000;

 

            B) approve a Utility Easement and Temporary Construction Easement from Palm Beach Aggregates Holdings, Inc. (PBA);

G) adopt Resolutions declaring the acquisition of property designated as Parcel 100W, 100E, and 101 as permanent utility easements; Parcels 200E, 200W, and 200S as permanent access easements; and Parcels 300W, 300E, and 301 as temporary construction easements, necessary for the construction, installation, and maintenance of a reclaimed water pipeline and related appurtenances, to be a public necessity, and authorizing the employment of appraisers and other experts, and authorizing the filing of eminent domain proceedings.

 

SUMMARY:  On May 20, 2008, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Reclaimed Water Agreement (R2008-0906) with FPL to supply reclaimed water for the West County Energy Center (Center).  Construction of the pipeline to deliver reuse water from the East Central Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility to the Center to requires the acquisition of several utility easements and licenses. Lions Holding Company, LLC is granting a utility easement and a temporary construction easement in return for compensation in the amount of $5,000.  PBA Holdings, Inc. is granting a utility easement and temporary construction easement at no cost.  The Memorandum of Understanding with the SFWMD and the FPL includes the granting of a utility easement and temporary construction easement from SFWMD to the County at no cost.  FPL is granting the Right-of-Way Consent Agreement, the Utility Easement and the Temporary Construction Easement at no cost. The Form of the License Agreement with City of West Palm Beach was approved by the Board on May 20, 2008 (R2008-0908). While the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department may accept standard easements in accordance with its Uniform Policies and Procedures Manual, these easements/licenses contain modifications to the Standard Easement Form and/or require separate agreements between the parties, and are therefore being brought to the Board for approval.  Approval of the eminent domain resolutions will authorize the filing of eminent domain proceedings for Parcels 100W, 100E, 101, 200E, 200W, 200S, 300W, 300E, and 301. The permanent utility easements and access easements (Parcels 100W, 100E, 101, 200E, 200S, 200W) are perpetual, while the temporary construction easements (Parcels 300W, 300E, and 301) will expire two (2) years from the date of execution, or upon the final completion of construction, whichever occurs first.  (WUD Project No. 08-031)  District 6  (MJ)

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Purchase Orders with vendors for the Florida Power and Light (FPL) Reclaimed Water Project (Project) in the amount of $12,340,442.68.  SUMMARY:  The project provides for reclaimed water to become the primary source of cooling water supply to FPL’s West County Energy Center (Center) beginning in FY 2011. The project components include the construction of a 27 million gallon per day reclaimed water treatment facility at the East Central Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility (ECRWRF) and a pipeline to deliver the reclaimed water from the ECRWRF to the Center. FPL competitively bid the Project components. FPL entered into a construction contract with Wharton-Smith, Inc., for the construction of the reclaimed water treatment facility at the ECRWRF and with Garney Companies, Inc. and Felix Associates, LLC, for construction of the reclaimed water pipelines from the ECRWRF to the Center.  The Contractors selected the vendors for the materials and equipment during the bidding process. The Reclaimed Water Agreement (R2008-0906) with FPL requires the County to procure materials for the construction of the Project.  Florida Statute Section 212.08(6) and Florida Administrative Code Rule 12A-1.094 provides for an exemption of sales tax if the purchaser is a governmental entity.  By purchasing materials and equipment directly from the vendors listed in the Purchase Orders, total sales tax savings of $740,701.56 can be achieved.  FPL will reimburse the County the total cost of the Purchase Orders. The County Attorney’s Office has submitted a Technical Assistance Advisement request to the Florida Department of Revenue to confirm eligibility for sales tax exemption.  If the State of Florida determines the project is not eligible for sales tax exemption, then FPL will pay the cost of the sales tax.  (WUD Project No. 08-031) Districts 2 & 6 (JM)
