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.

4. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution to endorse the State of Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) delivery of four bridge replacement
projects which include replacement of Bridge No. 934319 (Seminole Drive over

Bridge No. 934904 (New England Boulevard over the E-1 Canal), and Bridge No. 934419
(El Clair Ranch Road over the L-30 Canal).
SUMMARY: Approval
of this Resolution will comply with FDOT’s requirement that a local agency’s
governing board must adopt a resolution or equivalent when a grant funded
transportation project falls within the jurisdiction of a local agency unable
to deliver the project, or the project is to be delivered by FDOT for
efficiency, innovation, cost or time savings, or other reasons that may
optimize project delivery. The FDOT will
work through a County staff liaison as they deliver the projects – from design
through construction. 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)

Resolution R2016-0125 delegates authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to enter into certain proportionate share agreements on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners.

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Community
Services Department Policy and Procedure Manual, Health and Human Services
Program Payments. SUMMARY: The Community Services Department (CSD)
Policy and Procedure Manual, Health and Human Services Program Payments
establishes guidelines and requirements for the payments for goods and services
provided to Palm Beach County individuals who are homeless, at risk of being
homeless, or who are below the federal poverty level by assisting them with maintaining
or obtaining housing and providing them with emergency assistance and case
management services. These policies and procedures were last revised and
approved by the Board of County Commissioners on December 15, 2015. As the
services provided by staff expand in response to new service models, there is a
need to expand the categories of service authorized for financial assistance. This
policy rescinds and supersedes Chapter 18: Human Services Program Payments. The
Health and Human Services Program Payments policy is in accordance with
Countywide PPM CW-L-035. Funds for these services are included in the department’s
FY 2017 budget. (Community Services Department) Countywide (HH)

SUMMARY: These Annual Electrical Contracts are indefinite-quantity contracts with
a maximum cumulative. Projects are bid
among the pre-qualified participants.
These amendments are renewals to the contracts. The original contract provided for an initial
one year term with four one-year renewal options. During the second term of these contracts,
the County awarded $222,345.45 in work orders.
Staff is bringing forward the Amendment at this time based on the
expiration of the term. This is the second extension allowed by the Contract.
The maximum cumulative capacity of these contracts remains at $1,000,000. The
Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal for the annual electrical
contract is 15%. The cumulative SBE
participation for all work orders to-date is 77.2%. This is a bond-waiver

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

motion to:
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.

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.

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

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

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. District 4 (JB)
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. Countywide (SB)

AGENDA
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. (PREM) Countywide/District

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. Countywide (SB)
