PAGE ITEM
36 5E-1 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to:
A)
ratify the selection of
Jacobs Project Management Company, as the highest ranked consultant for Program
Management Services for General Government Capital Program (GGCP); and
B)
authorize staff to commence
negotiations with Jacobs Project Management
Company.
SUMMARY: On December 15, 2016, three proposals were received in response to a
Request for Proposal (RFP). The purpose
of this Contract is to provide program management services to assist Facilities
Development & Operations Department (FDO)/Capital Improvements Division
(CID) in managing the GGCP which includes the Infrastructure Sales Tax Program
and Traditional 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan. The consultant would act as an extension of
FDO/CID staff, acting as an owner’s representative. Program Management Services by the consultant
will include a Sr. Project Manager to act as the liaison to PBC Infrastructure
Surtax Independent Citizens Oversight Committee, and monitor overall budgets,
schedules, compliance with Infrastructure Surtax Program, provide financial and
project managers based on need. Use of
consultant personnel to supplement staff is beneficial to the County as it
allows its work force to be readily expanded and contracts based on needs.
The Selection Committee heard presentations from the consultants. Based
on pre-determined evaluation criteria which includes price, the firms were
scored and Jacobs Project Management Company was the highest ranked firm by the
Selection Committee. Upon Board
ratification, Staff will commence contract negotiations with Jacobs Project
Management Company. Upon satisfactory
completion of those negotiations, Staff will present a contract for full
services to the Board for approval.
While the full service contract is being negotiated, staff will
negotiate and enter into a limited scope of services contract which would allow
the consultant to participate in planned workshops with industry and initial
committee meetings. (Capital Improvements Division) Countywide (LDC)

1. Staff recommends motion to receive and file: Resolution No. 16-209: a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Atlantis, Florida, strongly opposing jet activities at the Palm Beach County Park (Lantana) Airport; strongly encouraging the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration to uphold Palm Beach County’s prohibition of jet activities at the Airport; providing an effective date, and for other purposes. SUMMARY: It is the policy of the Board to receive and file any received outside documentation if it involves Palm Beach County policies, programs and/or projects to make the information part of the Board’s official record.
2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve an Agreement with Friends of Foster Children of Palm Beach
County, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $100,000 for the purchase of school
supplies for the 2017 Putting
Kids First: Back to School Bash for the period beginning
February 13, 2017, through October 31, 2017; and
B) authorize
advance payments to the Friends of Foster Children of
Palm Beach County, Inc. up to $50,000 towards the purchase of school
supplies.
SUMMARY: This Agreement provides a not to exceed amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to the Friends of Foster Children of Palm Beach County, Inc. (Friends) to implement the 2017 “Putting Kids First: Back to School Bash” (Bash). The Bash provides school supplies to Palm Beach County students from Pre-K through 12th grade enrolled in the public or charter school system. Participating students will also receive school physicals, immunizations and haircuts. The Bash is an annual event planned, funded and implemented through a collaboration of several nonprofit organizations, community and church based organizations and the Office of Community Revitalization (OCR). In order to participate in the Bash, students must be referred by one of the agencies of the Bash collaborative, be registered prior to June 2, 2017 and given a personal invitation to the event. All participating referral agencies, municipalities, community groups and/or religious organizations are required to sign an agency agreement with the Friends and pay a nominal fee for every student referral-registration. Last year’s fee was $5 per student and the 2017 fee has not been set. The Bash will be held on Saturday, July 29, 2017 prior to the start of the 2017/18 school year. In accordance with the Agreement, up to $50,000 of the $100,000 from the County may be provided as an advance payment to the Friends to use as upfront capital toward the purchase of the school supplies. Countywide (DW)
3. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida, urging the Florida Legislature to enact legislation
that clarifies liability and indemnification so as to facilitate Tri-Rail
service into downtown Miami and Tri-Rail Coastal Link. SUMMARY: The
South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) is currently
collaborating with Florida East Coast Industries (FEC) on constructing new
links for Tri-Rail to operate into downtown Miami as well as to extend service
to Jupiter. However, due to Tri-Rail
needing to operate on the privately-owned FEC railway to make these connections
a reality, clarification of liability and indemnification is critical. During
the 2016 legislative session, language had been included in a bill that would
have clarified the liability and indemnification obligations with respect to
railway shared by inter-city public and private trains. This language passed
the House but was removed from the bill in the Senate. Countywide (DW)

motion to approve: Contract with Hedrick Brothers Construction
Co., Inc. to provide construction management services associated with the Main
County Courthouse, Electronics and Security Systems Renewal and Replacement
project. SUMMARY: The County’s Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
includes the renewal/replacement of electronic security systems for the Main
County Courthouse (MCCH). The MCCH has an integrated electronic security 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 alarm system which
had a partial upgrade in 2009). Reliability has become an issue as well as
availability of parts needed to keep all these systems in operation. The
integrating/controlling structure and each of the subsystems that includes programmable
logic controllers (PLC’s), closed circuit television and video (CCTV)
surveillance and video management, security management, elevator override
control, electronic access control, intercom, lighting control, duress and fire
alarm were recently evaluated by Kimley-Horn and Associates, a technology
consultant employed by the County for that purpose, who found these systems to
be at end of life and has recommended them for replacement. Additionally, in
the first phase of the project, the command center will be expanded to
facilitate the continuation of operations as the system infrastructural
subsystems are replaced sequentially as well as provide for additional control
stations. To that end, Staff has developed a five-year program to implement
these changes while maintaining operations and minimizing additional staffing
costs. The purpose of this contract is to have a single contractor provide
construction services and develop construction phasing and access plans to
reduce the time and costs associated with familiarizing the various contractors
with the facility conditions, operating procedures, security requirements and
the County asset standards. Work will be authorized with Amendments to the
Board for identified phases. Hedrick Brothers Construction Co., Inc. is a local
business. This contract includes a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal of 25%,
as well as a separate SBE partner goal of 15%. Funding for the work will come
from the public building fund or other funding sources identified on each Amendment.

motion to approve:
A) Transmittal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD), a Section 108 Loan for EZ Weld Group, LLC (Company), in the amount of
$248,000; and
B) Delegation of authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to
execute the documents necessary for the transmittal.
Summary: On March 12, 2002 (Agenda Item 6D-1), the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the creation of a HUD Section 108
Loan Program (Program). The Program was
developed to provide a dedicated source of low interest loans for use by
businesses to revitalize local communities and create jobs. The Company was founded 50 years ago and has
been operating in Riviera Beach since 1972. The Company is a manufacturer of
industrial joining material and chemicals for uses with pipes. These products include PVC cements, CPVC
cements specially formulated for hot water pipes; specialty cements, primers
and cleaners for pipe joining and lubricants, thread sealants and tape. The Company is located at 1621 President Barack
Obama Highway in the City of Riviera Beach.
The property is located in Census Tract 10.04, and has a poverty rate of
29.5%. Staff is recommending this loan
since the project and the applicant qualify and meet the Section 108 Loan
Criteria approved by the BCC on May 17, 2011 (Agenda Item 3A-3). Program funds in the amount of $248,000 are
being recommended to be allocated to the Company to assist in the purchase of
real estate. The total project cost is $619,440, which includes $248,000 in
Section 108 funds, $309,166 in bank financing, and $62,274 in cash from the
Company. The project will meet HUD’s
national objective by creating nine full-time jobs. Upon approval by the BCC, the loan package
will be submitted to HUD. These are Federal Funds which require no local
match. District 7 (JB)

Summary: On
September 5, 2016, a break in a County-owned wastewater force main resulted in
the spillage of wastewater in the vicinity of 40th Street within the
jurisdictional boundaries of the ITID.
In response to the spill, ITID mobilized staff, consultants and
equipment to undertake activities to minimize the impacts of the spill and to
plug ITID canals so that the spilled wastewater would not migrate. The clean-up activities resulted in benefits
to the constituents of the ITID and the general public. The Water Utilities
Department (WUD) agrees with the expenses incurred by the ITID and has
committed to reimburse ITID for the documented costs, which totaled
$21,937.46. The Agreement provides for
the payment of the expenses incurred by the ITID. The Board of Supervisors of the ITID approved
the Agreement at their December 14, 2016, regular meeting. WUD collaborates with ITID on issues related
to utility expenses, roadway and access improvements, and other expenses
related to the practical everyday interaction of the two entities. At times it is necessary for WUD to reimburse
ITID for expenses undertaken that are outside of ITID’s normal areas of
jurisdiction. In order to efficiently
and effectively reimburse ITID for expenses incurred in cooperation with WUD to
further the interests of the constituents of the two entities, WUD is seeking

motion to approve: a Budget Transfer of $412,501 from the Law
Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO).
SUMMARY: Florida Statute 932.7055(5) provides
that the seizing agency shall use Forfeiture proceeds for school resource
officer, crime prevention, safe neighborhood, drug abuse education and
prevention programs, or for other law enforcement purposes, which include
defraying the cost of protracted or complex investigations, providing additional
equipment or expertise, purchasing automated external defibrillators, and
providing matching grant funds. F.S. 932.7055(5) also requires that no less
than 25% of the LETF’s previous year’s revenues be used for the support or
operation of drug treatment, drug abuse education, drug prevention, crime
prevention, safe neighborhood and school resource officer programs of various
non-profit organizations. The PBSO’s FY 2017 estimated donation requirement is
$293,779. The PBSO’s support of these programs exemplifies its strong
commitment to the prevention and reduction of crime throughout the communities
it serves and its desire to put money back into these communities to support
organizations that provide such services. The
year-to-date transfer for all donations to outside organizations after approval
of this item is $412,501. The
funds requested are to aid PBSO and qualified organizations that meet the
requirements set forth in F.S. 932.7055. Use of LETF requires approval by the
Board, upon request of the Sheriff. The
current State LETF balance is $2,575,972. Approval of this request will reduce
the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $2,163,471. The
PBSO certifies that the use of these funds is in accordance with F.S.
932.7055. Below is a table indicating
the organizations the PBSO seeks to fund and the corresponding amount of
funding proposed per respective organization or agency. No new positions are needed and no additional
County funds are required. Countywide (LDC)

B. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the conveyance of four individual County-owned
residential properties to the Community Land Trust of Palm Beach County, Inc.
(CLT), a Florida not-for-profit corporation, at no charge pursuant to Florida
Statutes Section 125.38, and with reservation of mineral and petroleum rights,
but without rights of entry and exploration;
B) approve a County Deed in favor of the CLT conveying a residential property at
702 Latona Avenue, Lake Worth, Florida;
C) approve a County Deed in favor of the CLT conveying a residential property at
8276 Blue Cypress Drive, Lake Worth, Florida;
D) approve a County Deed in favor of the CLT conveying a residential property at
5030 Elmhurst Road, Unit E, West Palm Beach, Florida; and
E) approve a County Deed in favor of the CLT conveying a residential property at
769 Imperial Lake Road, Greenacres, Florida.
Summary: By letter dated October 21, 2016, the CLT
applied to the County for the conveyance of these four properties. The former
owners of these properties were provided financial assistance under the
Universal Housing Trust Fund and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. The
financial assistance was secured by a mortgage on each of the properties. The
County accepted a deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure from each of the former owners
after they defaulted on their mortgages.
The individual properties and appraised values are as follows: 702
Latona Avenue, Lake Worth, $115,000; 8276 Blue Cypress Drive, Lake Worth,
$235,000; 5030 Elmhurst Road, Unit E, West Palm Beach, $63,500; and 769
Imperial Lake Road, Greenacres, $165,000.
Since 2006, the CLT has successfully implemented both single-family and
multi-family housing projects and has an established track record in the
affordable housing arena in Palm Beach County using the community land trust
model for homeownership projects. Upon
conveyance of title to the CLT, the four properties will be encumbered with
affordability restrictions for no less than 30 years. The CLT will offer the homes for sale or
lease/purchase whereby the homebuyer enters into a 99-year land lease and
purchases the improvements to the property while the CLT holds title to the
land in perpetuity for purposes of facilitating affordable housing. The CLT will also be permitted to lease the
homes to provide affordable rental opportunities. Because the properties appraised values are
under $250,000, the Property Review Committee was not required to review
the conveyances in accordance with PPM CW-L-23.
Mineral and petroleum rights on the properties will be retained by the
County in accordance with Florida Statutes Section 270.11, without rights of
entry and exploration. These conveyances must be approved by a supermajority
vote (5 Commissioners) Districts 2, 3 & 7 (JB)

5. REGULAR AGENDA
C. FIRE
RESCUE
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a First Amendment to
Interlocal Agreement for Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services
Agreement with the Town of Jupiter for additional personnel; and
B) an increase to the Fire
Rescue personnel complement by four Firefighter/Paramedic positions for an estimated cost to the
main Fire/Rescue Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU), prorated for the
remainder of FY 2017 for the amount of $329,571, of which 68.09% or $224,405,
will be recovered from the Jupiter MSTU in FY 2018.
SUMMARY: On
November 19, 2013, the Board approved an Interlocal Agreement for
Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services (R2013-1670) with the Town of
Jupiter (Town) for a term of ten years. The Town adopted Ordinance Number 42-13
to extend inclusion in the Jupiter Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) through
tax year 2022 to fund fire rescue services through September 30, 2023. The
Town’s contract price for this Agreement is calculated on a “Full-Cost Formula”
methodology as described in the Agreement. The “Full‑Cost Formula”
methodology is calculated using a percentage of the Battalion 1 budget based on
the percentage of Unit Responses within the Jupiter MSTU boundaries. The
FY 2017 percentage of Unit Responses for the Jupiter MSTU is 68.09%. This
proposed First Amendment will increase the number of fire rescue personnel on
duty at all times from seventeen to eighteen, and will require four additional
positions in order to cover the various shifts. This First Amendment may
increase the Town’s annual contract price.
The total estimated cost for the four new positions
prorated for the remainder of FY 2017 is $329,571. Since the Jupiter MSTU
millage rate for FY 2017 was established prior to the approval of this
First Amendment, the Jupiter MSTU’s portion of said prorated cost for
FY 2017 ($224,405) will be funded by the main Fire/Rescue MSTU, and
revenue to cover said costs will be included in the FY 2018 Jupiter MSTU
budget to be transferred back to the main Fire/Rescue MSTU, through the
taxation of properties within the territorial limits of the Town, under the
provisions of Chapter 26, Article II, Division 3, of the Palm Beach County Code
and the Town’s Ordinance No. 42-13. This arrangement also benefits the main
Fire/Rescue MSTU by the provision of additional personnel to serve the
Battalion 1 area. Countywide/District1 (SB)
D. PUBLIC SAFETY
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County Florida, repealing and replacing Resolution No. R2012-1920
authorizing the County Administrator or designee to execute certain standard
agreements with veterinarians and animal agencies that issue Palm Beach County
rabies license tags. Summary: This Resolution repeals and replaces
R2012-1920, authorizing the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a
revised standard agreement with veterinarians and animal agencies that issue
Palm Beach County rabies license tags. The agreement is being revised to
outline the responsibilities of veterinarians who issue rabies license tags to
add new language allowing animal agencies to issue license tags to dogs and
cats at the time of adoption and providing for automatic renewal. The agreement governs monitoring of tag
inventory by veterinarians and animal agencies, the sale of tags, the maximum
handling fee that may be charged clients, submittal of monies collected and
associated late fees, if any, and recourse in the event that a veterinarian or
animal agency defaults on payments. Countywide (SF)
E. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT &
OPERATIONS
1. ADD-ON: Staff
recommends motion to:
A) ratify the selection of Jacobs Project Management Company, as the highest
ranked consultant for Program Management Services for General Government
Capital Program (GGCP); and
B) authorize staff to commence negotiations with Jacobs Project Management
Company.
SUMMARY: On December 15, 2016, three
proposals were received in response to a Request for Proposal (RFP). The purpose of this Contract is to provide
program management services to assist Facilities Development & Operations
Department (FDO)/Capital Improvements Division (CID) in managing the GGCP which
includes the Infrastructure Sales Tax Program and Traditional 5 Year Capital
Improvement Plan. The consultant would
act as an extension of FDO/CID staff, acting as an owner’s representative. Program Management Services by the consultant
will include a Sr. Project Manager to act as the liaison to PBC Infrastructure
Surtax Independent Citizens Oversight Committee, and monitor overall budgets,
schedules, compliance with Infrastructure Surtax Program, provide financial and
project managers based on need. Use of
consultant personnel to supplement staff is beneficial to the County as it
allows its work force to be readily expanded and contracts based on needs. The
Selection Committee heard presentations from the consultants. Based on
pre-determined evaluation criteria which includes price, the firms were scored
and Jacobs Project Management Company was the highest ranked firm by the
Selection Committee. Upon Board
ratification, Staff will commence contract negotiations with Jacobs Project
Management Company. Upon satisfactory
completion of those negotiations, Staff will present a contract for full
services to the Board for approval.
While the full service contract is being negotiated, staff will
negotiate and enter into a limited scope of services contract which would allow
the consultant to participate in planned workshops with industry and initial
committee meetings. (Capital Improvements Division) Countywide (LDC)
