SUMMARY: Approval of this Contract will allow Palm Beach County to issue a notice to proceed to Rosso, a Palm Beach County based company, to begin construction of a 6' wide concrete pathway on the north side of Wallis Road between the LWDD E-3 Canal and Haverhill Road and extend the existing storm water discharge to the E-3 Canal.

5. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Supplement
No. 1 (Supplement)
with AE Engineering, Inc. (AEE) to
Project Contract in the amount of $1,587,922.22 for construction engineering and inspection (CEI) services for the
bridge rehabilitation of Camino Real Road/Boca Club Bridge over the
Intracoastal Waterway (Project). SUMMARY: On September 7, 2016, AEE was selected
through the consultant selection process to provide CEI services for the Camino
Real Bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway project. It was then decided that it would be
advantageous to divide the CEI services contract into two phases due to the
complexities of the project. Phase 1,
the original contract, was for a constructability/bidability review of the
plans to identify any potential problems prior to bidding the project for
construction. Under the County’s
Purchasing Code and Countywide PPM CWF-050, the County Engineer had the
authority to execute the original contract due to the value. The contract was later received and filed by
the Board in R2017-0222. The amount
expended for Phase 1 was $23,732.18. No
problems with the design plans were identified.
Under PPM CWF-050, the Board needs to approve this supplement, since it
exceeds the authority of the County Engineer and the Contract Review
Committee. Approval of this supplement
for Phase 2 will allow AEE to provide the remaining CEI services needed for the
project. These services include contractor oversight and project administration
throughout the duration of the construction phase. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for all contracts is 15%. AEE
has committed to 3% SBE participation and has proposed 3.09% SBE participation
for this supplement. No firms committed
to Palm Beach County’s SBE goal. The SBE participation for Phase 1 was 0%. AEE
is a Palm Beach County based company. District
4 (LBH)
6. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Second amendment to the annual roadway
pathway and minor construction contract R2016-0230, Project No. 2015055, dated
March 1, 2016, with Wynn & Sons Environmental Construction Company, Inc.
(Wynn & Sons) to increase the amount of the contract by $3,500,000. SUMMARY:
Approval of this second amendment
will increase Wynn & Sons’ contract from $7,365,000 to $10,865,000. The
increased contract amount is based on updated estimates that exceed the current
contract amounts to be expended throughout Palm Beach County by the user
departments. The increase is needed for miscellaneous minor roadway projects
not anticipated in the original projections (these are generally smaller
projects in nature that may need to be expedited) and additional work funded
through the infrastructure sales tax for the Parks Department. To date, Wynn
& Sons has performed $5,492,073 in task orders. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for
all contracts is 15%. Wynn & Sons
committed to 95% and has achieved that to date for the Engineering related
projects. Wynn & Sons is an SBE
company and a Palm Beach County based company. Countywide (LBH)

restoration project at DuBois Park to modify the source of the required
matching funds. This grant contract runs
from November 7, 2016, through November 7, 2017. SUMMARY: On
July 12, 2016, the Board authorized submission of an Indian River Lagoon
License Plate grant application to SFWMD, R2016-0908, for shoreline
stabilization and environmental restoration at DuBois Park. The grant was awarded and the SFWMD
Agreement No. 4600003522 was presented to the Board on December 20, 2016,
R2016-1886 to receive and file. The
Funding Agreement is now being modified to 1) revise Exhibit “A-1” in order to
combine project elements into a single pay application for accounting purposes,
and 2) modify the source of the required matching funds. The County originally proposed providing
$33,333 in matching funds using staff time, however, $10,000 for an ADA
compliant pathway has been included in the scope of the project and staff
charges are being reduced from $33,333 to $23,333. District 1 (AH)
5. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve agreement with The Morikami, Inc., a Florida
not-for-profit corporation, defining and clarifying roles pertaining to the funding,
management, operation and use of the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens
(“Museum”); and
B) authorize staff to prepare and issue a request for proposal (RFP)
to construct and operate an authentic Japanese Inn (Ryokan) at the Museum in
accordance with the approved Master Plan.
SUMMARY: The Museum
is owned by the County and is operated by the Parks and Recreation Department
in cooperation with The Morikami, Inc. (Corporation), whose purpose is to
support the overall mission and operations of the Museum. The Museum includes a
theater, café, exhibit space, library,
offices, gift shop, and 16 acres of Japanese Gardens and is accredited
by the American Alliance of Museums.
Annual admissions at the Museum in FY 2016 were 116,974, with annual revenue of
$1.4M. On January 12, 1999, Palm
Beach County (County) and the Corporation entered into an Agreement (R99-78D),
superseding Agreement R88-1675D. Since
then, the complexity, size and scope of the Museum’s operation has changed significantly. As a
result, the agreement between the County and the Corporation must be updated to
address the complexity of the operation, to ensure continued accreditation of
the Museum, and to ensure that best practices are followed by the County and
the Corporation in their partnership at the Museum. While some of the changes are ministerial in
nature, other changes are related to: clearly defining the scope of services so
that the County and Corporation understand the roles of their respective
organizations, the Museum’s permanent collection and artifacts custody and
policy, and the duties and responsibilities of the Museum Director. The
Corporation has partnered with the County for over 25 years and has provided
financial, operational, and advisory support to the Museum. This agreement builds on the
historic partnership between the County and the Corporation. In May of 2013,
the Board initially authorized staff to prepare and issue an RFP to determine
if there are groups interested in development of a Japanese Inn and Spa (Ryokan)
and to obtain further information regarding development concepts. Prior to issuing the RFP, the Board approved
the long standing Morikami Park Master Plan inclusive of a Ryokan in 2014 and a
zoning change and comprehensive plan amendment to permit a Ryokan in 2015. The issuance of an RFP was postponed due to
other priorities during 2016. Staff now
feels it is the appropriate time to prepare and issue the RFP for the development
and operation of a Ryokan at the Morikami Museum and Gardens. District

R2014-0171, as amended, with the Health Care District (HCD) of Palm Beach
County for network services provided by Palm Beach County (County). SUMMARY: The Health Care
District of Palm Beach County has an existing network services Interlocal
Agreement (R2014-0171), as amended, for an initial term of one year with
automatic one-year renewals unless notice is given by either party. The
Eighth Amendment adds new HCD clinic locations in Jupiter and Boca Raton and a
new location for HCD’s main office in West Palm Beach. This Amendment
increases annual revenues by $8,196, and provides for $46,349 in reimbursement
of one-time capital costs for fiber optic network construction. The
revised fee structure for network services will take effect May 1, 2017, for
the Jupiter location and June 1, 2017, for the Boca Raton location. The
Florida LambdaRail LLC has approved connection of HCD to the Florida LambdaRail

as an Associate Participant with FLR, and to increase certain network services
from FLR at a revised annual cost of $417,100. SUMMARY: This
Second Amendment changes Palm Beach County’s relationship with FLR from
Affiliate Participant to Associate Participant. This change will allow
the County to provide network services to external customers at network speeds
exceeding 99Mbps and eliminates the $10,000 fee previously required for this
class of “downstream subscribers” accessing the FLR network via the County’s
network. Additionally, increased levels of commodity internet and network

A. ENGINEERING
& PUBLIC WORKS
1. TIME CERTAIN 10:15 A.M.
Staff requests the
Board affirm: the
recent staff initiative to preserve adjacent “good” trees (oaks, native trees, i.e.
tamarind, buttonwood, gumbo limbo, etc.) when repairing and replacing sidewalks
and pathways due to tree root damage, but continue to allow the removal of
adjacent “nuisance” trees (ficus, earleaf acacia, carrotwood, Australian pines,
etc.) during the repair process. SUMMARY: The new initiative staff has implemented
is the use of physical root barriers (not previously used) during the sidewalk
repair in an attempt to prevent a recurrence of the root(s) lifting the
sidewalk. Palm
Beach County has an obligation to construct, maintain, repair and replace
asphalt and concrete sidewalks/pathways within the rights-of-way that the
County maintains. Over 1200 miles of concrete sidewalk and 200 miles of asphalt
sidewalk are currently maintained. A major problem occurs when tree roots
damage the adjacent sidewalk and road pavement, typically buckling or raising
up a section of sidewalk or road and causing a potential tripping hazard.
This is starting to occur more and more as trees within the rights-of-way
mature. The practice in past years was to allow developments to plant
“canopy” trees (oaks, black olives, etc.) within close proximity of the
pavement, many times between the road and the adjacent sidewalk. Long-term
maintenance associated with the issue has been, and will be, expensive and will
continue to consume a large amount of staff time. The Engineering
Department expends over $1 million per year addressing sidewalk repairs.
The maintenance crews (4 crews/20 staff members) currently spend about 50% of
their time on this issue. While
repair of the sidewalk alone addresses the short-term problem, removal of the
adjacent tree(s) in conjunction with the repair addresses it long-term.
Staff has removed over 175 trees over the past three years. The removal of
the trees decreases the long-term total repair costs and staff time, but often
the removal of trees is not a popular option; particularly within communities
represented by homeowner associations (HOA) (the support appears to be tied to
the number of trees we might be looking to remove). Over the past few years, staff has worked
with individual homeowners (when there is not an HOA) to determine their
support for removing individual trees. A large majority of the time, the
homeowners were supportive of the removal, and the trees were removed. “Good”
trees are not cut down, and staff believes installation of root barriers will
keep the problem away for the next 10-15 years. Staff recommends this process
be used when the adjacent tree is not on the list of (controlled/prohibited) nuisance
trees contained in the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC). Staff
believes this will be a cost savings, at least in the next few years, as
removing a tree is expected to cost almost double the cost of installing a root
barrier. Staff is requesting concurrence from the Board of County Commissioners
as the number of identified locations continues to increase and we have a
current backlog of over 250 locations involving trees damaging sidewalks. Over
100 of those locations are on public roads within the Lake Charleston community
and that is the first area we will be implementing this new approach. Countywide

Florida establishing the Palm Beach County Reentry Task Force; and
B)
approve Budget transfer of $1,000 in the General Fund to transfer expenditures

SUMMARY: This Resolution reestablishes the Reentry Task Force under the auspices
of the Board of County Commissioners in the Department of Public Safety to
align staff, the Reentry Program, and the Reentry Task Force under the same department.
In 2008, the CJC established the Palm Beach County Reentry Task Force to

an improved quality of life for Palm Beach County residents. Subsequently, the County’s Reentry Program
was created under the CJC with Task Force oversight and three dedicated staff
to manage the program. On October 1, 2015, the County’s Reentry Program was
transferred from the CJC to the Department of Public Safety, however the
Reentry Task Force remained under the auspices of the CJC. The Resolution
outlines the policies, procedures, and responsibilities of the Reentry Task
Force and its continued relationship with the CJC, and includes adoption of the

E. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT
& OPERATIONS
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Contract with Jacobs Project Management
Company (Jacobs) for Program Management Services for General Government Capital
Program (GGCP). SUMMARY: This Contract
is to provide program management services to assist the County and Facilities
Development & Operations Department (FDO)/Capital Improvements Division
(CID) in managing the GGCP, which includes the Infrastructure Sales Tax Program
and traditional Five Year Capital Improvement Plan. Program Management Services by Jacobs include
a Sr. Project Manager to administer compliance with the approved Infrastructure
Surtax Program and to act as the liaison to the PBC Infrastructure Surtax
Independent Citizens Oversight Committee, as well as Project Controls Manager
to monitor overall budgets, schedules, and reporting through use of a
customized project management software system that is approaching completion of
development. Jacobs will also provide Project Management Services through
Project Managers as necessary to supplement FDO/CID staff. The number of Project Managers is based on
the additional man hours required to handle the additional workload from the
Infrastructure Sale Tax Initiative.
Jacob’s employees would act as an extension of FDO/CID staff, acting as
an owner’s representative and managing projects strictly in accordance with
County procurement and contract management laws, policies and procedures.
Design professionals and contractors will not know the difference between a
County employee and a Jacob employee acting as a Project Manager through the
course of service delivery and routine operations. Use of Jacob’s personnel to supplement County
staff is beneficial as it allows the County to readily expand (within the
budget amount) and contract its work force based on need at any given
time. This is a five-year contract with
an option for five additional one-year terms at the discretion of the
County. Unlike typical consultant
contracts, a “Notice to Proceed” will need to be issued annually by October 1st
for approval as part of the annual GGCP in the upcoming budget year. Such
Notice to Proceed (NTP) will be issued administratively in an amount not to
exceed the amount approved as part of the annual Capital Improvement
Program. If the NTP is not received by
October 1st of each fiscal year, then the contract can be
terminated. A limited scope of services
contract in the amount of $199,800 was previously executed by the Director of
FDO to allow the consultant team to participate in planned workshops with
industry, conduct outreach and coordination related thereto, set up the project
management software system, and begin to provide project management services. This
Contract only sets forth the hourly rates for the various Jacob’s personnel and
sub-consultant that will perform services during the term of the contract. The
estimated five-year contract value is $4,825,149, however this item only
authorizes expenses for the remainder of FY 17 in the amount of $451,733, which
will be reflected in the NTP issued to Jacobs following the approval of this
item. All Program Management costs
(Project Executive, Sr. Project Manager, Program Controls Manager and project
controls set-up) will be capitalized to the Infrastructure Sales Tax projects
and the costs associated with the Project Managers and Field Inspectors will be
charged to the applicable project. The goal for Small Business Enterprise (SBE)
participation is 15% and Jacobs’ SBE participation for this contract is 15%. (Capital Improvements Division) Countywide
