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

for the Main Detention Center and Sheriff’s Office Headquarters Electrical
Infrastructure/Emergency Power Renewal/Replacement Project establishing a
Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). 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. Replacement of
electrical infrastructure and emergency power systems is necessary as existing
generators and electrical gear were installed in 1991, are in poor condition,
and need replacement to provide reliable emergency power to support the life
safety functions at the Jail and reliable emergency power to Headquarters. Reliability of the existing equipment is an
ongoing issue as replacement parts are no longer available from the
manufacturer, difficult to locate from other sources, and when located, costly.
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. (Capital Improvements Division)

this project directed by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) at their June
5, 2012 meeting. On August 15, 2012, four (4) bids were received for the Glades
Utility Authority’s (GUA) Strategic Wastewater Infrastructure Project Sewer
Collection - City of Belle Glade. Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department
(WUD) is implementing this project under its Management & Operations
Contract with the GUA. Hinterland Group, Inc. was the lowest responsive
responsible bidder in the amount of $1,877,979. The project is subject to a
22.4% minority participation goal and a 6.9% female participation goal for trades
rather than the County’s SBE goals. This
Contract with Hinterland Group, Inc. provides for 3.19% participation utilizing

on acceptance of these goals by EDA, staff recommends award to Hinterland
Group, Inc., a Palm Beach County Company. This
project utilizes Federal EDA funds (EDA award number 04-79-06327) which require
a 25% local match. The local match proposed includes two (2) GUA Community

prevention, safe neighborhood and school resource officer programs of various
non-profit organizations. The PBSO’s FY 2013 estimated donation requirement
will not be finalized until year-end close-out. The PBSO’s support of these

Summary: On December 1, 1992, the CRA issued
Redevelopment Revenue Bonds for $3,000,000 to construct sewer facilities,
roadways, drainage facilities and sidewalks in the redevelopment area. On March
1, 1999, the CRA refunded these bonds and issued Redevelopment Revenue
Refunding Bonds for $3,380,000. A
principal and interest payment in the amount of $231,290 is due on November 1,

obligation at that time since they will not receive the TIF revenues from Palm
Beach County until December 2012.
Therefore, the CRA is requesting a loan from the County which will be
repaid from the TIF revenues. 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. The first
component, the Redevelopment Trust Fund, in the amount of $1,555,100, consists
of the CRA’s Annual Tax Increment Financing and balance brought forward from
previous years. The second component, the Construction Fund, in the amount of
$4,767,000, consists of balances of reimbursable grants awarded to the CRA by
County, State, and Federal governments for construction activities. The third
component is the Sinking Fund, in the amount of $262,710, which consists of one
(1) annual payment from TIF revenues to repay the revenue bond reissued in 1999
to retrofit infrastructure in the Westgate area. The last component is the

payment (principal and interest) held in escrow for
the March 1, 1999, Redevelopment Revenue Refunding Bonds in the amount of

providing funds to make a loan to Young Men's Christian Association of South
Palm Beach County, Inc. to provide funds to refinance the County's Economic
Development Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bonds (YMCA Project) Series 2003;
authorizing the execution of a Bond Purchase and Loan Agreement and the Bond;
awarding the sale of the Bond by a negotiated sale; authorizing officials of
the County to take certain action in connection with the issuance of the Bond;
making certain other covenants and agreements in connection with the issuance
of the Bond; and providing an effective date.
Summary: YMCA has applied for the issuance of the Bond
by the County in an amount not to exceed $10 Million. YMCA operates two (2) family social service
centers with programs that include childhood and family development programs,
preschool, summer camp, and health and wellness programs. Proceeds of the Bond will be used to
refinance the County’s Economic Development Refunding and Improvement Revenue
Bonds (YMCA Project) Series 2003 (the “2003 Bonds”). The refinancing will allow the YMCA to
utilize any savings to continue to offer community programs. The 2003 Bonds were issued to refinance
earlier bonds issued to finance capital assets for the YMCA’s facilities at
9600 South Military Trail, Boynton Beach, and at 6631 Palmetto Circle, Boca
Raton. The Bond will be payable from
revenues derived from YMCA. This
funding is projected to have a five (5) year Economic Impact of $24 Million. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and
credit of the County nor any County funds are pledged to pay the principal,
redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bond. (DES Administration) District

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. On July 10, 2012, the Board requested a
report be presented on the status of the Jail Expansion Program II including
the current progress (physical and budget) of the Program, change orders and
work still remaining to be completed. (FDO

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. Countywide (TKF)

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)
