PAGE             ITEM             

 

48                    5E-1                ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to authorize: the Director of Facilities Development & Operations to approve purchase orders in any amount, for personal property associated with the BallPark of the Palm Beaches, which have been procured through a competitive or alternate source procurement pursuant to the Purchasing Ordinance, and have been requested by HW to be County procured with or without the payment of sales tax. SUMMARY: HW Spring Training Complex, LLC, (HW) has requested that the County procure, for the BallPark of the Palm Beaches, various items of personal property which were included in the project budget for the Facility in order for it to secure the most favorable pricing available through existing local, State and Federal contracts (commonly known as piggyback contracts). Purchase orders which contain personal property that is located or primarily used in areas not considered Public Use Improvements pursuant to the Sports Facility Use Agreement (R2015-1523), may include the payment of sales tax.  The payment of sales tax at this time of purchase will: 1) protect the County for claims of any misuse of the County’s tax exempt status for items used primarily or solely by a private entity, and 2) relieve the County of the administrative burden associated with ensuring that sales tax is paid in the future when an item purchased with a sales tax exemption is disposed of to a private property prior to the end of its useful life.  HW concurs with the payment of sales tax on these certain items as it will allow HW to reduce a large portion of the administrative burden associated with the renewal/replacement monitoring and asset tracking pursuant to the Sports Facility Use Agreement.  These purchases are to be initially funded from the Public Improvement Taxable Revenue Bond for Professional Sports Facility and will be ultimately allocated to HW’s equity contribution to the project. There is no fiscal impact to this item as all purchase orders will be funded from the monies already contractually committed to HW. (FDO) Countywide (MWJ)

 

52                    9F                   ADD-ON: Request approval to present off-site, a Proclamation commemorating the life of George H. Wedgworth, Agricultural Leader. (Sponsored by Commissioner McKinlay)

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Contract with TLC Engineering for Architecture, Inc., in the amount of $1,176,921, to provide planning and engineering/robust services associated with electronics and security systems replacement project.  SUMMARY: The purpose of this Contract is to have a consultant provide professional design services for the renewal/replacement of security electronic systems, a life safety study, and the command center expansion, as well as for construction phase administration services. The Main County Courthouse (MCCH) has a complex security electronic and fire alarm system which provides for the safety of the judges, staff and public, supports the movement of inmates for Court activities, and protects the County's property, as well as evidence and records stored within the facility. These systems have been in place since 1993 (except the fire system which had a partial upgrade in 2009). Since these systems must be operational 100% of the time, downtime is becoming an issue due to lack of availability of parts and/or contracted service personnel familiar with the operating system and/or logic controls.  Under a previous contract, another consultant completed a Current System and User needs assessment report, and also a Technology Enhancements Recommendations Summary Report. These reports confirmed the end of life need to replace the integrating/controlling structure and each of the seven subsystems, and made recommendations for the replacement of each system. Additionally, the MCCH’s command center (which also houses the security electronics) will need to be expanded for: 1) the additional equipment; and 2) reconfiguration of workstations to accommodate added and enlarged monitors. This Contract also includes a life safety evacuation study including the identification of any architectural and structural changes required to secure a letter of equivalency from the Fire Marshall.  The letter of equivalency is needed to allow for the additional security features desired by the court which are not consistent with original design assumptions of the building. The renewal/replacement project is expected to take place over 3 – 5 years depending on ability to physically perform this work without disruption to operations. TLC Engineering for Architecture, Inc. is a national business with offices throughout Florida to support this project and will be utilizing Palm Beach County sub-consultants for approximately 19% of the work. This Contract includes a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation of 12.7%. Funding for project is from previous years Public Building Improvement Fund.

SUMMARY: This Amendment authorizes conversion of Hearing Room 2706 to a courtroom and providing improvements to the judicial corridors which will be converted from public access to secured access only.  This Amendment is necessary due to an increase in demand for courtrooms, to segregate the Judge’s work areas from the public, and to enhance security for the Judges.  The duration of construction is 99 days.  The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for this contract is 15%.  The Weitz Company, LLC’s SBE participation for this Amendment is 36.2%.  This project was fully funded from the Public Building Improvement Fund in FY16. The Weitz Company, LLC is a Palm Beach County business and it is anticipated that 85% of the work will be performed by Palm Beach County contractors.

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;

 

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 and

 

C) a Budget Amendment of $485,000 in the Water Utilities Department Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 4011) to recognize the $485,000 grant revenue from the agreement and transfer $485,000 in expenditures to the grant budget expense line from Water Utilities budget expense line.

 

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 budget period from the grant began on March 1, 2016 and will end on April 1, 2018.  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 anticipates completion of the project within the current fiscal year.  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.

B) adopt a Resolution authorizing the Clerk of the Board to disburse $154,958 from the Vessel Registration Fee Trust Fund to cover a portion of the project costs; and

 

C) approve a Budget Transfer of $154,958 in the Environmental Enhancement Freshwater Fund (1223) from reserves for a total of $1,154,958 in project funding.

 

Summary:  This project will re-configure the Pahokee Marina entrance to provide wave attenuation and improve fisheries habitat with the installation of a new breakwater and placement of armor and bedding stone.  Five bids were received for this project located in Lake Okeechobee, City of Pahokee. Kelly Brothers, Inc., a Lee County company, was the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.  The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance (R2002-0064) is 15% overall.  Florida Statute 255.0991 provides that a competitive solicitation for construction services in which 50% or more of the cost will be paid from state-appropriated funds cannot include a local ordinance that provides a preference based on a contractor’s maintaining an office or place of business within a particular local jurisdiction.  The County’s SBE Ordinance (R2002-0064 as amended) includes such a requirement.  Because 87% of this project is funded by a grant from the Department of Economic Opportunity (R2016-1000), an SBE goal could not be part of the competitive solicitation.

Summary: The Hanart Chinese Lantern Festival is an eight week festival highlighting large scale lighted Chinese lanterns. The festival operates at night illuminating the festival grounds in color.  The theme of the festival will be world continents with lanterns depicting themes from around the world, inclusive of 30ft dragons, the Eiffel Tower, pandas and the Statue of Liberty.  This festival has been successfully presented in Texas, North Carolina, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The Parks and Recreation Department (Department) utilizes a standard Amphitheater Rental Agreement which is executed at the Department level.  However, non-standard Amphitheater Rental Agreements are sometimes required to satisfy the specific terms of a given renter.  Hanart Culture, LLC and the Department request modifications to the approved standard Amphitheater Rental Agreement language which requires Board approval.  The modifications clarify the responsibilities and expectations of the County and Hanart Culture, LLC for issues such as settlement of payment by week rather than by event day or conclusion of event, revenue percentage, deposit amounts and termination language. County revenues generated from the Lantern Festival are estimated at $100,000 or greater.  If successful in 2017, Hanart Culture, LLC would like to enter into a longer term agreement for subsequent years.  This Agreement allows for Hanart Culture, LLC to set up for the event beginning January 10, 2017.  The exhibit will be held February 17, 2017, through April 9, 2017, Wednesday through Sunday from 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. District 5 (AH)

A) receive and file an award letter from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Edward Byrne Memorial, Justice Assistance Grant (JAG), Local Solicitation, grant number 2016-DJ-BX-0889 in the amount of $160,148 to fund the Juvenile Reentry Program;

 

B) receive and file three Grant Adjustment Notices (GAN) for the JAG Grant 2016-DJ-BX-0889;

 

C) approve a Budget Amendment of $15,929 in the Criminal Justice Grant Fund to recognize the actual grant award and increase the transfer to the Justice Services Grant Fund; and

 

D) approve a Budget Amendment of $15,929 in the Justice Service Grant Fund to recognize the transfer from the Criminal Justice Grant Fund.

 

SUMMARY: Palm Beach County was allocated $160,148 in federal funds as part of the U.S. Department of Justice, Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Local Solicitation Formula Grant Program. On May 23, 2016, the Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) approved recommendations made by the CJC’s Finance Committee to allocate these funds to the existing Juvenile Reentry Program operating under the County’s Public Safety Department. This program provides transitional services to juveniles reentering society from jail and prison. At the August 16, 2016, Board Meeting, the Mayor’s signature was ratified on the grant application (R2016-1027). Grant 2016-DJ-BX-0889 was awarded on September 14, 2016 and accepted on September 26, 2016 by Kristina Henson, Executive Director of the CJC, in accordance with R2016-1027. GAN 1 and GAN 2 were originated by the DOJ Grant Management System (GMS) due to a technical glitch. Though the grant was awarded on September 14, 2016 to coincide with County FY17, it has a federal start date of October 1, 2015 because this funding was allocated by Congress in Federal FY16. Accordingly, when the grant award was entered into the GMS by the DOJ with a start date of October 1, 2015, the GMS created false delinquent financial report statements for FY16, freezing funds until County staff entered zero on the financial reports for this time period (GAN 1). Once County staff completed the financial reports in GMS, the DOJ released funds (GAN 2). GAN 3 reallocates $68,392.00 in funding to Gulfstream Goodwill Industries by: (1) decreasing the salary/benefits for a Program Director; (2) increasing the salary/benefits for a Program Coordinator; (3) eliminating funding for an event supervisor; and (4) providing mileage reimbursement to program staff. GAN 3 was executed on October 11, 2016 in accordance with R2016-1027. Countywide (JB)

Summary:  This item approves a contract with the non-profit organization, the Alliance for Hope International, to provide a specialized strangulation domestic violence training for first responders, prosecutors, defenders, victim advocates and hospital personnel. The Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) recognized the need for this specialized training, and then sought, and received support from the Law Enforcement Planning Council, the Palm Beach County Domestic Violence Council, and the Circuit Office of the Florida Department of Children and Families. As a result, the CJC issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on January 27, 2015 for this training. On March 23, 2015, the CJC voted to recommend that the Board award this contract to the Alliance for Hope International. The Alliance for Hope International’s Training Institute on Strangulation Prevention is a nationally recognized program of the National Family Justice Center Alliance and was launched with support from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women. After working with the Alliance on a budget and details of the training, the CJC on September 28, 2015 voted to recommend that the Board utilize Domestic Violence Trust Funds for this project. The Board has asked that the CJC oversee this Trust Fund and provide recommendations to the Board on its use. This recommended allocation of Trust Fund dollars is consistent with the allowable purpose areas for this fund. The training dates are set for April 19 and 20, 2017. Countywide (JB)

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. On November 14, 2016, the City adopted City Ordinance No. 2016‑04 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 grant agreement is being submitted in accordance with Countywide PPM No. CW-O-051 to allow the Clerk’s Office to note and receive this item. (DHS) Countywide (HH)

D.        PUBLIC SAFETY (Cont’d)

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) ratify the Mayor’s signature on Cooperative Agreement 2016-XV-GX-K018 with the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, for the period of October 1, 2016, through September 30, 2019, to receive grant funding in the amount of $579,965 to develop and institutionalize a multidisciplinary approach to responding to families of complex homicide cases involving Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Impaired Driving;

 

B) approve the addition of one full-time Victim Advocate (pay grade 25) and one MRFCCHC Project Coordinator (pay grade 26) to the Victim Services complement;

 

C) approve a Budget Amendment of $579,965 in the Public Safety Grants Fund to recognize the grant award.

 

Summary: The County was selected as a demonstration site to develop and institutionalize a multi-disciplinary coordinated approach to responding to deaths involving DUI or Impaired Driving and meeting the needs of survivors/victims through trauma-informed and victim-centered approaches. The award includes funding for Florida State University to serve as the project research partner, Mother’s Against Drunk Driving, to assist with Death Notification Training, and two County positions.  The Multidisciplinary Response to Families and Communities in Complex Homicide Cases Project Coordinator will be responsible for organizing and coordinating the implementation of the multi-disciplinary response team, ensuring site and agency performance of, compliance with and fidelity to the team, and coordinating the work and products of partner organizations.  The Victim Advocate will provide direct services to survivors/victims of homicide to include crisis intervention, supportive counseling, accompaniment, and other advocacy assistance.  If grant funding ceases, the positions will be deleted from the Victims Services complement. The emergency signature process was utilized to execute the Agreement because there was not sufficient time to submit the Agreement through the regular agenda item process and adhere to the project timeline. No County matching funds are required. Countywide (LDC)

 

E.         FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

 

1.         ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to authorize: the Director of Facilities Development & Operations to approve purchase orders in any amount, for personal property associated with the BallPark of the Palm Beaches, which have been procured through a competitive or alternate source procurement pursuant to the Purchasing Ordinance, and have been requested by HW to be County procured with or without the payment of sales tax. SUMMARY: HW Spring Training Complex, LLC, (HW) has requested that the County procure, for the BallPark of the Palm Beaches, various items of personal property which were included in the project budget for the Facility in order for it to secure the most favorable pricing available through existing local, State and Federal contracts (commonly known as piggyback contracts). Purchase orders which contain personal property that is located or primarily used in areas not considered Public Use Improvements pursuant to the Sports Facility Use Agreement (R2015-1523), may include the payment of sales tax.  The payment of sales tax at this time of purchase will: 1) protect the County for claims of any misuse of the County’s tax exempt status for items used primarily or solely by a private entity, and 2) relieve the County of the administrative burden associated with ensuring that sales tax is paid in the future when an item purchased with a sales tax exemption is disposed of to a private property prior to the end of its useful life.  HW concurs with the payment of sales tax on these certain items as it will allow HW to reduce a large portion of the administrative burden associated with the renewal/replacement monitoring and asset tracking pursuant to the Sports Facility Use Agreement.  These purchases are to be initially funded from the Public Improvement Taxable Revenue Bond for Professional Sports Facility and will be ultimately allocated to HW’s equity contribution to the project. There is no fiscal impact to this item as all purchase orders will be funded from the monies already contractually committed to HW. (FDO) Countywide (MWJ)
