B) approve a locally funded Agreement and an Escrow Agreement (shown as Exhibit  “B”) for $40,567 with FDOT for the construction of a right turn lane on Lyons Road at Norte Lago.

 

SUMMARY:  Approval of these agreements will allow FDOT to construct a southbound right turn lane, drainage, sidewalks, and signing and pavement markings on Lyons Road at Norte Lago as a part of the FDOT’s $3.4 million project to reconstruct Lyons Road from Norte Lago to Pine Springs Drive.  Palm Beach County will fund the cost of the right turn lane, which is anticipated to be $40,567. District 5 (MRE)

However, the Town is requesting that it not be required to provide surety for the open cuts, as required by Land Development Division PPM EL-O-3605 and PPM EL-O-3606, but instead be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement requiring the Town to make any required repairs upon request by the County. Similar agreements have been executed with several other municipalities and special districts. Districts 3, 4 & 7 (MRE)

 

 

3.         Staff recommends motion to approve: the release of permanent drainage easement rights on a parcel of land within the future plat of Collier Planned Unit Development (PUD) located west of the south end of Coral Ridge Drive (also known as 115th Avenue South), north of Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park and south of Old Pump House Road.  SUMMARY: This approval will release a Palm Beach County (County) drainage easement.  As a condition of this release, G.L.

The current cost estimate to deliver the four projects is approximately $6.5M and will be funded with Metropolitan Planning Organization funds. Districts 3 & 5 (MRE)

5.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) adopt a Resolution to amend the Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) Chase Court, Dixie Lane, Dryden Road and Arlington Drive paving and drainage project (Project), R2004-228, to remove the property located at 788 Arlington Drive from the number of properties assessed; and

 

B) authorize repayment with interest, $3,352.30 received from the property located at 788 Arlington Drive over the past ten years.

 

SUMMARY: Adoption of the Resolution will remove the property located at 788 Arlington Drive from the Project special assessment that was adopted October 19, 2004 (R2004-2228).  788 Arlington Drive is not located within the assessment area benefitting from the Project and was inadvertently included in the assessment.  A refund for the total of payments received, including interest, will be sent to the property owner.  Removal of this parcel will reduce the Project total assessment by $3,677.10, which is the amount that would have been assessed to this property without interest.  Total assessment to remaining benefitting properties will not be adjusted or affected.  District 2 (MRE)

(R2015-0743) in the amount of $39,580.83 and a 351 day time extension for the Palm Tran North Operations - Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Replacement project.  SUMMARY: Change Order No. 3 provides for relocation of Condensing Unit (CU) 2 to the roof area. This change is necessary in order to relocate an air conditioning condenser unit which was located in conflict with a sidewalk emergency evacuation path.  The condensing unit was provided under the original contract and the new work includes new structural supports on the roof, support stands, piping and ductwork. As this change is considered an error by the Engineer, they have redesigned at no cost to the County. Once the project is complete, this error will be evaluated for reimbursement in accordance with County policy. This Change Order extends the completion date to December 17, 2016 due to delays related to the revised design, revised construction drawings, permit revisions and approvals, and material ordering and equipment installation.  All work associated with this contract is complete except for this condensing unit. A Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 15% applies to this contract.  This Change Order will be funded from the project contingency which is fully funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration.

A) approve the First Restated Vehicle and Equipment Parts Management and Supply Agreement (Agreement) with Genuine Parts Company d/b/a NAPA (NAPA) for onsite integrated inventory management services for Facilities Development & Operations/Fleet Management Division (FDO/Fleet)and Fire Rescue Support Services (Fire Rescue) at an estimated annual cost of $4,479,600 for FY 17; and

 

B) authorize the Director of Purchasing to execute the Agreement on behalf of the Board.

 

SUMMARY: NAPA has been providing on-site integrated inventory management services to FDO/Fleet since 2012 (R2012-1322) and then via a new agreement executed in 2015 (R2015-1788).  This Agreement replaces and restates the terms of R2015-1788 as they apply to FDO/Fleet and adds in similar services for Fire Rescue which has determined it is in its best interest to out-source this function.  This Agreement sets forth: (1) the general terms and conditions which apply to both FDO/Fleet and Fire Rescue to provide comprehensive in-house store automotive parts functions including the provision of all materials, equipment, parts and supplies required for operation and maintenance with no less than an eighty percent (80%) in-stock availability for all parts requested; and (2) creates unique attachments for the services which are specific to each fleet.  The Agreement provides that the County will pay NAPA: (i) 10% above both NAPA Product Costs and Non-NAPA Product Costs; and (ii) for operational costs that were included within the annual budget approved by the County during its normal budget process. NAPA will provide on-going review and adjustment of inventory, access to automotive and heavy-duty replacement parts and delivery of non-stocked parts.  The inventory will include NAPA Products as well as Non-NAPA Products, based on FDO/Fleet and Fire Rescue’s individual requirements. The Agreement contains local preference language for all Non-NAPA products purchased.  NAPA is to provide services to Fire Rescue in two phases: (i) the Start-Up Phase, which will commence upon BCC approval of the Agreement and continue through December 31, 2016; and (ii) the Operational Phase, which will commence on January 1, 2017 and continue through July 21, 2019 (the term is the same for FDO/Fleet providing all Operational Phase services). The Agreement will automatically renew for one additional year, unless either party notifies the other of its intent not to renew at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the initial term.  This Agreement is made in accordance with the Palm Beach County Purchasing Code, which authorizes the County to purchase supplies from a competitively bid proposal or contract secured by another governmental entity or government-related association, in this case the National Joint Powers Alliance Contract No. 010511-GPC. There is no Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation in this Agreement. (FDO/Fleet/Purchasing) Countywide (LDC)

A) approve an Agreement for Purchase and Delivery of Gasoline and Diesel Fuel (Agreement) between Palm Beach County and TransMontaigne Product Services LLC, (TransMontaigne); and

 

B) authorize the Director of Purchasing to execute the Agreement on behalf of the Board.

 

SUMMARY: This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which TransMontaigne will provide for the sale and delivery of fuel for the County (including Fire Rescue and PalmTran), the Sherriff’s Office and other County-owned equipment. The County is required to purchase no less than 85% of 480,000 gallons/month (5,760,000 gallons/year) of Ethanol gasoline and Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel throughout the term of the Agreement. The minimum purchase requirement for diesel is the same as in 2010, and the minimum purchase requirement for gasoline is reduced 16% from 2010.  The Agreement contains provisions for increased fuel allocations pre and post hurricane landfall. The Agreement provides additional protections for the County in the event of a hurricane as it: (1) allows for the County to directly take delivery of fuel at the Port Everglades terminal; and (2) requires TransMontaigne to use good faith efforts to fulfill its allocation obligations to the County from one or more of its terminals in Florida if it cannot fulfill its obligations from Port Everglades. The Agreement: (1) does not (and has never) contain the typical termination for convenience provision; and (2) provides for liquidated damages in the event that the County becomes the defaulting party.  Due to: (1) the very low risk of the County needing to terminate the Agreement for one of the most essential commodities that the County purchases; and (2) the benefits that this contract provides in terms of more certain access to fuel prior to and after a hurricane; Staff continues to recommend approval. Purchasing Department conducted an informal solicitation of fuel wholesalers/suppliers at Port Everglades. TransMontaigne was the only vendor which could meet the County terms and requirements. This Agreement will commence on January 1, 2017 and extend for a period of three years with one two-year renewal option. The estimated expenditures (capacity of the Agreement) over the three year term is $57,000,000 based on the price average price of fuel paid since 2010 and is 15% less than that which was recommended in 2010. Funding for this contract is budgeted in FDO/Fleet Management’s operating budget. (FDO/Purchasing) Countywide (LDC)

Summary: On February 9, 2016 (Agenda Item 5B-1), the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the SHIP Fiscal Year 2015-2016 budget allocations which included $494,000 for Multifamily Redevelopment projects.  On March 20, 2016, the Department of Economic Sustainability (DES) issued Request for Proposals DES.2016.1 (RFP) making $494,000 in SHIP funds available for multi-family housing redevelopment projects.  A RFP selection committee consisting of five voting members met at a public meeting held on May 12, 2016, and ranked the proposals based on the RFP criteria.  The selection committee recommended and the Board approved (June 7, 2106 Agenda Item 4C-3) an award of $494,000 to Grand Lake, LLC, an affiliate of Housing Trust Group, LLC, for Grand Lake Apartments, a 384 unit multi-family rental project located at 2001 Main Street in Belle Glade.  Due to the selected developer’s inability to meet the expenditure deadline, the SHIP award was declined.  The RFP provided that if County is unable to successfully enter into agreement with the respondent awarded funding, the County may elect to award to the next highest ranked respondent.  The second-ranked respondent was Portofino Apartments, Ltd., for the rehabilitation of Portofino Apartments, a 270 unit multi-family rental development located at 2767 10th Avenue North in Palm Springs.  This $1 Million re-roofing project will result in 48 apartments affordable to families with incomes not exceeding 28% of Area Median Income (AMI), 206 apartments affordable to families with incomes not exceeding 60% of AMI, and 16 apartments affordable to families with incomes not exceeding 140% of AMI.  The non-SHIP balance of project funding will come from project reserves and operating income. To facilitate project implementation, staff is requesting authorization for the County Administrator, or designee, to execute the loan agreement and related documents. These are State SHIP Program grant funds that do not require a local match. District 3 (JB)

A) Acceptance of an XP Grant Agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the amount of $485,000 for the construction of PW-11 in the Glades Region; and

 

B) an Easement Agreement with the Palm Beach County School District (School District) for the easement areas and license area necessary to construct and maintain PW-11 at the West Technical Education Center (West Tech) site in the amount of $19,246.

 

SUMMARY: The Water Utilities Department (WUD) has identified the need for the construction of an additional public water supply well (PW-11) in the Western Region of the WUD service area (Project) to provide additional efficiency in the operation of Water Treatment Plant (WTP) 11. A grant in the amount of $485,000 is available through EPA for the construction of infrastructure that benefits and improves WTP 11 pursuant to funds that were Congressionally appropriated in 2009. The acceptance of the XP Grant Agreement will provide for the application of the available monies to the construction of PW-11.  The estimated overall cost for the construction of PW-11 is $1,806,182 and the Project will be procured in the near future to conform with EPA requirements upon acceptance of the grant funds. WUD determined that the most effective placement of PW-11 is in a location on the West Tech site that was dedicated to the Palm Beach County School District by the State of Florida.  Construction and maintenance of PW-11 requires the execution of the Easement Agreement to provide for several easement areas and a license area, as well as the modification of the dedication of state lands to the School District.  Exhibit A to the Easement Agreement provides for a permanent easement for the construction and maintenance of the raw water well PW-11.  Exhibit B provides for a permanent easement for the construction and maintenance of the pipeline required to connect PW-11 to WTP 11.  Exhibit C provides for a buffer easement for the protection of PW-11 after construction.  Exhibit D provides for a temporary construction easement for the storage and utilization of areas for construction of the well and associated water main.  Exhibit E provides for a permanent easement for an access road off the School District property to the well location for maintenance purposes.  Exhibit F provides for a license area for routine operations access through the School District site.  WUD has agreed to pay $19,246 to the School District in consideration for the easement areas. The School Board approved a modification of the dedication of state lands to the School District to allow for utilization of the site for public water supply purposes as well as the Easement Agreement at its meeting on September 20, 2016.

C) a Budget Amendment of $357,500 in the Department of Economic Sustainability Fund to recognize the funds from the General Fund.

 

SUMMARY: On January 14, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners conceptually approved (R2014-0094) an economic development incentive for the Company totaling $357,500.  This Agreement discloses the name of the Company, Cancer Treatment Centers of America Global, Inc., previously referred to as Project Emblem.  The Agreement requires the Company to make a minimum $14.5 Million capital investment to purchase and renovate an existing facility in Boca Raton for its corporate headquarters, create 225 new full-time jobs over a five year period, at an average annualized wage of $90,000 excluding benefits.  The Company will maintain the new jobs for a period of five years following the job creation period.  Cancer Treatment Centers of America Global, Inc. is a family owned management and marketing company supporting a group of hospitals, with a primary mission to treat patients suffering from advanced and complex cancer.  The State of Florida is providing the Company $1,575,000 in the form of a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) Tax Refund which includes a required 20% local match of $315,000 which will be split equally between the County ($157,500) and the City of Boca Raton ($157,500). Additionally, Enterprise Florida is providing $400,000 from the Quick Action Closing Fund (QACF). The County and City of Boca Raton are also providing a 100% local QACF match incentive to the State in the amount of $400,000 which will be split equally between the County ($200,000) and the City of Boca Raton ($200,000).  The State has entered into agreements with the Company for both incentives.  This project is expected to have a five year economic impact of $216 Million.  The Company shall, without risk of violating any laws, make best efforts to develop and implement hiring policies that provide Palm Beach County residents preference in the hiring process.  This Economic Development Incentive Grant will be secured by a Letter of Credit, Bond, Corporate Guarantee, or equivalent security.

C.        ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY (Cont’d)

 

3.         Staff recommends motion to approve: an exception to the County’s Job Growth Incentive Grant Agreement with GARDA USA, INC., forgiving the job advertising requirement to notify Palm Beach County residents of the availability of new positions within the company through advertisements in Countywide, Hispanic, and Minority news venues and sending the job descriptions to CareerSource and West Career Center. SUMMARY: On March 1, 2011, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Job Growth Incentive Grant Agreement (R2011-0319) in the amount of $210,000 to GARDA USA, INC. (Company) as a portion of the required local match for State Qualified Target Industry and Quick Action Closing Fund grants. The Agreement required the Company to create 100 jobs with an average salary of $65,769 by June 30, 2014, and to retain those jobs for a period of four years. The 100 jobs were created and are thus far retained.  Additionally, the Company was required to notify Palm Beach County residents, through advertisements in Countywide, Hispanic, and Minority news venues, of the availability of new positions.  This Agreement provision was not fulfilled due to significant key personnel turnover within the Company.  However, of the 100 jobs created, 55 jobs were filled by Palm Beach County residents at an average salary of $68,646.  A diversity census of the Company’s current 151 Palm Beach County employees demonstrates a racial/ethnic breakdown as follows: 38% White, 32% Black, 21% Hispanic, 2% Asian, and 1% Hawaiian-Pacific, with 6% non-responsive. Due to the high level of employee diversity, the number of Palm Beach County residents employed in the new jobs, and because the number of new jobs and average salaries exceeded the Agreement requirement, staff is recommending forgiveness of the advertising requirement.

D.        FIRE RESCUE

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on November 22, 2016, at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Section 26-51, Subsection (b), of Chapter 26, Article II, Division 3, of the Palm Beach County Code; amending the boundaries of the Fire/Rescue MSTU (Municipal Service Taxing Unit) to include the City of Westlake; providing for implementation dates; providing for opt-out procedures; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for captions; providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: The Fire/Rescue MSTU encompasses the unincorporated areas of Palm Beach County plus the incorporated areas within municipalities that have opted to join the MSTU. The City of Westlake (City) was incorporated on June 20, 2016.  The area within the municipal boundaries of the City was, prior to the City’s incorporation, included within the Fire/Rescue MSTU as part of the unincorporated area of the County. The City Charter authorizes the Fire/Rescue MSTU to continue within the boundaries of the City until the City adopts an ordinance to the contrary. It is anticipated that the City will adopt City Ordinance No. 2016‑04 prior to November 22, 2016, to formalize its consent, in accordance with Section 125.01(1)(q), Florida Statutes, to be included in the Fire/Rescue MSTU for County fire-rescue and related services within the City.  This Ordinance will amend the boundaries of the Fire/Rescue MSTU to formally include the properties within the municipal boundaries of the City.

E.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a request for a one year time extension of the deadline for closing under the Agreement for Purchase and Sale (R2012-1158) with Transit Village LLC (TV).  SUMMARY: On August 14, 2012, the Board approved the Agreement for Purchase and Sale (Agreement) with TV for the sale by the County of certain interests in the Wedge property for $3.6 Million. This is a very complicated transaction with multiple layers of required governmental approvals.  To date, TV has met all performance milestones of the Agreement. The next milestone is to obtain building permits and to complete the closing by August 13, 2017. TV has diligently proceeded through the regulatory approval process, is finalizing its design of the improvements and is in the process of securing financing for construction of the improvements.  TV has requested a one year time extension of this milestone.  While the Board has no obligation to approve the extension, Staff believes that there is little justification for Staff not to recommend approval of TV’s request.  Recently, TV obtained conceptual approval from the City of West Palm Beach for between $80 Million to $120 Million in tax increment financing assistance which, in addition to the previously disclosed $3 Million in South Florida Regional Transit Authority funding, materially improves the financial position of the project.

F.         ADMINISTRATION

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  an Interlocal Agreement with the Health Care District of Palm Beach County (District) for Aeromedical Emergency Medical Services for a ten year period effective upon execution by both parties. SUMMARY: Palm Beach County (County) partners with the District to provide aeromedical emergency medical services in the County.  This agreement replaces an expired agreement and provides the terms under which the County provides emergency medical personnel to staff the District’s Trauma Hawk air ambulance service. An Interlocal agreement between both entities provides guidance for the District and County in the areas of services to be provided to support the trauma care program, responsibilities of the District, and responsibilities of the County. The agreement provides that the District is responsible for the operation and administration of the aeromedical program which includes operating the air ambulance helicopter services while the County is responsible for providing advanced life support medical services aboard the District air ambulance helicopters. Under the terms of the agreement, the District maintains the Federal Aviation Administration Air Carrier Certificate required to operate the helicopter and the County provides the Advanced Life Support (ALS) License and Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN) to provide the medical services on the helicopter. The District provides reimbursements to the County on a monthly basis for all direct costs to provide the ALS Aeromedical Services under this agreement.  A detailed summary of the changes to the Interlocal agreement is provided in Attachment 2 to the Agenda Item.
