SUMMARY: This agenda item is a renewal to the general building minor construction contract which was awarded to sixteen (16) approved participants. This annual Minor Construction contract is an indefinite-quantity contract and each has a maximum value of $500,000.  The renewal term is twelve (12) months or until $500,000 in work orders are issued.  The original contracts provided for an initial one (1) year term with four (4) - one (1) year renewal options.  Amendment No. 1 will provide for continued services during the first renewal period.  The original list of sixteen (16) approved participants has been reduced to ten (10) due to non-participation in bidding the projects.  Staff is bringing forward the amendment at this time based on expiration of the term.  During the first year of the contract, the County has awarded $415,543 in work orders.  Additional dollar capacity for any one contractor is not needed at this time, but this item resets the total cumulative of all contracts by $500,000. All contractors are Palm Beach County companies with the exception of Coral-Tech Associates, Inc. which is a Broward County company.  Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goals for the minor construction contracts are 15%. The cumulative SBE participation for all work orders issued the first year is 46.8%. (Capital Improvements Division) Countywide (JM)

 

 

2.         REVISED TITLE: Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 1 to the contract with Trillium Construction, Inc. (R2011-1002) (R2012-1002) in the amount of $275,790 for construction management services related to pool repairs at the Calypso Bay Water Park establishing a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). SUMMARY: The work consists of structural repairs and ADA stair renovations to the lap pool. The pool was placed into service in 2000 and is in need of these repairs due to the age of the facility.  These are not warranty or design related issues. Original design had the pool built in four (4) sections with water stop joints. The joints have now deteriorated over the years creating costly water leaks at each section. The joints will be eliminated for a continuous wall and floor. Work also includes installation of new ADA compliant tile to the steps and new hand rails. Funding for this project is from the 1999 $25M General Obligations (GO) and the 2005 $25M GO Recreation & Cultural Bonds.  Amendment No. 1 establishes a GMP of $275,790 and 120 calendar days for completion. The GMP includes the cost of work, the construction manager’s fee and a contingency. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for this contract is 15%. The SBE participation in this amendment is 17.2%. Trillium Construction, Inc. is a Palm Beach County company.  (Capital Improvements Division) District 6 (JM)

SUMMARY: Amendment No. 14 establishes a GMP of $3,071,085 and 293 calendar days for completion.  The GMP includes the cost of work, the construction manager’s fee and a contingency.

In addition, the new generators will comply with current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emission regulations.  This project includes the replacement of existing generators and electrical switchgear as well as the addition of a one story building and renovation to existing central energy plant to facilitate the replacement of the generators.  A previous Amendment authorized early site work and procurement of the generators and switchgear, the latter of which has a long production lead time.  This Amendment is for the remainder of the work in the project.  The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for this contract is 15%.  Hedrick Brothers Construction’s SBE participation combined for both amendments for this project is 27%. All but 2.5% of the work will be done by local contractors. This GMP is funded through project specific funding included in the FY ‘12 Public Building Improvement Fund.

These advanced funds will be withheld from the December 2012 TIF payment.  The Budget, in the amount of $6,852,872, is composed of four (4) components.

1.         Staff recommends motion to receive and file: a status report on the Jail Expansion Program II.  SUMMARY: Over the past months, there have been a series of requests for specific information regarding different aspects of the Jail Expansion II Program and most recently an article in the Sun Sentinel which Staff believes incorrectly characterizes the status, management and success of the Program.

F.         RISK MANAGEMENT 

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) selection of United Healthcare Services, Inc./Solstice Benefits, Inc. as the provider for the County’s multiple-option, employee paid, dental insurance program beginning January 1, 2013 (RFP No. 12-073/SC);

 

B) Contract with United Healthcare Services, Inc. to provide fully insured, employee-paid dental plans for the period January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2015,with guaranteed rates for three (3) years and two (2) annual options to renew; and

 

C) Contract with Solstice Benefits, Inc. to provide a Managed Care Dental Plan (DHMO) for the period January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2015,with guaranteed rates for three (3) years and two (2) annual options to renew.

 

Summary: An RFP was issued for a voluntary (employee pay-all) multiple option dental insurance program for County employees and their eligible dependents. Responses from seven (7) responsive carriers were evaluated by a five (5) member selection committee. All responsive companies offered dental plans at comparable levels of benefits and associated rates, but United Healthcare/Solstice Benefits, Inc. offered the most comprehensive coverage at the most competitive rates when compared to expiring and competing carriers. A majority vote of the selection committee (4-1) ranked United Healthcare/Solstice Benefits, Inc. as the chosen provider. The existing carrier, Assurant Employee Benefits ranked second. The plans recommended for approval provide improved coverage as compared to the expiring plans. Improvements include coverage for additional procedures including implant dentistry on the DHMO and high-option PPO plans, an “open access” DHMO eliminating the need to select a primary dentist in advance, a reduction in PPO initial waiting periods, an increase in the high option PPO’s annual plan maximum and a “consumer max multiplier” allowing members to carry a portion of the previous year’s unused maximum to the next year if all preventive exams are administered. The rates on all three (3) plans are guaranteed for three (3) years. Rates for the DHMO and low-option PPO plans are offered at a decrease over the expiring plans. Rates for the high-option PPO plan increase slightly with richer coverage than the expiring plan which is a common request from employees. In addition to the employees of Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, the employees of Palm Tran, Inc. and the Supervisor of Elections are eligible to participate in these plans.

F.         RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont’d)  

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) first annual option to renew the Administrative Services Only Agreement (R2011-1667) dated October 31, 2011, with CIGNA Health and Life Insurance Company (CHLIC) for claims administration services for the County’s self-funded HMO and POS health insurance plans for the period January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2013; and

 

B) CHLIC’s proposed administrative fees, access fees and specific stop loss premiums for plan year 2013; and

 

C) the Actuarial rates per coverage tier for plan year 2013.

 

Summary:  Staff recommends Board approval of the first annual option to renew the Administrative Services Only Agreement with CHLIC for the period January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2013 on behalf of the employees of the Board, Supervisor of Elections, and Palm Tran, Inc. (collectively participating in the plan through the provisions of Interlocal Agreement R2002 2287).  The total projected health plan and administrative expense for plan year 2013 is $64,385,421, representing a reduction of $1,337,002 over the projected 2012 expense at the same time last year.  This is due to the plan’s favorable claims experience and a reduction in employee/dependent enrollment of approximately 100.  Staff recommends that employee contributions and cost-sharing remain unchanged for plan year 2013. Sufficient funds have been budgeted to fund the program. Countywide (TKF)
