2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: contract with Florida Atlantic
University Small Business Development Center (SBDC) in the amount of
$70,500 to provide technical assistance and training to small businesses in
Palm Beach County for the period of March 1, 2018 through September 30,
2018. SUMMARY: This contract provides Palm Beach County’s
Small Business Enterprise (SBE) firms with technical assistance and training in
the form of direct consulting services in the areas of finance, marketing,
management, construction, human resources, business plans and international
trade. In addition, SBDC provides local SBE’s with services that result
in federal certifications, such as 8(a), HUBZone and
Small Disadvantaged Business; identifies federal contract opportunities for
local small businesses; and assists local businesses in submitting bids to
local, state, and federal agencies. The total amount of this proposed
contract for FY 2018 is $70,500. Carole Hart, an employee of the SBDC is a
member of the Small Business Advisory Committee. This committee provides
no regulation, oversight, management or policy setting recommendations for the
Office of Small Business Assistance. The SBDC recently reached an agreement
with Florida Atlantic University to become their regional host while also
naming Mr. Rafael Cruz as the Regional Director for the SBDC in Palm Beach and
Broward County. The relocation of the SBDC and the
identification of a new regional director resulted in the delay of this item
and therefore require that staff present the contract with a term retroactive to
March 1, 2018. Countywide (HH)

recommends motion to approve:
A) Amendment to the Infrastructure Surtax
(IST) Project Plan approved by the Board of County Commissioners on April 4,
2017, to advance a portion of the “Sections of Summit Boulevard” striping
project from FY2025 to FY2018; and
B) budget transfer of $75,000 in the
Infrastructure Sales Tax Fund reserves account to move project funds from 2025
to 2018.
SUMMARY: The
purpose of this transfer is to advance a portion of the funding for the
“Sections of Summit Boulevard” striping project from FY2025 to FY2018 to
address a ‘life safety’ issue. The scope of the project involves replacing
worn-out (faded) pavement markings within segments of Summit Boulevard. The project is currently
funded in two separate years - $50,000 in FY2020 and $150,000 in
FY2025. A portion of the funding is being advanced to meet a road re-striping need on Summit
Boulevard from Congress Avenue to Parker Avenue. The funding for the entire
project will remain at $200,000; however, $75,000 of the funding will be
advanced (through the Engineering Department’s IST Reserve account) from FY2025
to FY2018. The budget transfer will
implement the accounting changes for FY2018 funding. The Sales Tax Oversight Committee reviewed
this request at their March 15, 2018 meeting and approved it unanimously. Countywide
(LBH)
8. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) first amendment to the
annual intersection improvements contract with Network Engineering Services,
Inc. d/b/a Bolton Perez & Associates, Inc. (BPA) R2017-0778, dated June 20,
2017, to extend the contract expiration date from June 19, 2018 to June 19,

and
B) first
amendment to the annual intersection improvements contract with HSQ Group, Inc.
(HSQ) R2017-0779, dated June 20, 2017, to extend the contract expiration date
from June 19, 2018 to June 19, 2019, modify the fee schedule, and allow for
other amendments to the contract.
SUMMARY: Approval of these first amendments
will extend the expiration dates of the annual intersection improvements
contracts with BPA and HSQ from June 19, 2018 to June 19, 2019; adjust their
hourly rates as allowed in the original contract; and add “Section 22 –
Additional Reporting” to the original contracts per Palm Beach County requirements. To date, tasks in the
amount of $0 have been authorized for BPA with 0% Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) participation. BPA committed to 16% SBE participation. To date, tasks in the
amount of $0 have been authorized for HSQ with 0% SBE

motion to approve: subordination of utility
interests and agreement for reimbursement for additional facility relocations
with Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) on a parcel of land located near
the southeast corner of Okeechobee Boulevard and Haverhill Road. SUMMARY: Approval of the subordination agreement will
subordinate interest in two FPL utility easements and allow Palm Beach
County to accept a warranty deed for
additional right-of-way. As part of the development conditions associated with
a convenience store and gas station, the property owners are required to
provide the County with 20.50
feet of additional right-of-way on the east side of Haverhill Road. This
right-of-way is encumbered by two FPL utility
easements. The subordination agreement requires FPL to relocate any facilities
it may have from the dedicated right-of-way, when and if requested by the County,
and requires the County to pay for reasonable relocation costs of said
facilities. The property owners have provided $23,000 to the County for those
future costs. District 7 (LBH)
10. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: four resolutions
to declare the acquisition of properties designated as parcels 101, 102, 103
and 104 as fee simple road right-of-way and parcels 201 and 202 as temporary
construction easements as necessary for the construction of a westbound right
turn lane on Blue Heron Boulevard/SR708 at Congress Avenue (Project). SUMMARY:
Adoption of these
resolutions will initiate eminent domain proceedings pursuant to Chapters
73, 74, 127, and Section 337.27, Florida Statutes, as amended, against six parcels having a total appraised

tax exempted for the 10 years ending December 31, 2027, is $5,259. Actual
exemption amounts will be based upon the Countywide Millage rate on a yearly
basis. It is estimated that approximately $525.97 tax dollars will be exempted

C) budget amendment of $3,064,105 in the TDC 1st

Imp Rev Bd , Conv Ctr Garage & Airport Ct Fund; ii) recognize the

& Replacement Fund to recognize increased transfer from the TDC 1st Cent
Fund and allocate budget to Convention Center (R/R) Projects; Convention
Center Expansion Project; and Roger Dean (R/R) Projects.
SUMMARY: On April 7, 2015, the Board approved a bond
entitled “68M Public Imp Rev Bond 15A CP, Conv Ctr Garage & Airport Ct” providing proceeds for the
Airport Center Building II renovations and the Convention Center Parking
Garage. The Airport Center Building II
project is complete, with no significant funds remaining. However, the Convention Center Parking Garage
account is projected to have approximately $9,300,000
remaining at the completion of the project.
The amount of the funding remaining is primarily due to the garage being
90 spaces less than originally planned, value engineering and sales tax
savings, and not having to use as much of the project contingency as originally
planned. Since the remaining proceeds
can only be used for the Parking Garage, Staff is recommending that $6,984,225
of the remaining proceeds be used to fund debt service and bond interest
expenses with the equivalent amount of 1st
Cent Bed Tax used to fund other 1st Cent projects. Bond counsel has approved the use of the
proceeds to fund debt service. The $6,984,225 in TDC 1st Cent
funding will be allocated to two projects:
Convention Center Renewal/Replacement in the amount of $2,873,000 and
Convention Center Expansion in the amount of
$4,111,225. The difference between the
remaining funds and the $6,984,225 is anticipated to
be sufficient to fund the Convention Center Parking Garage R/R throughout the
life of the facility. The remaining action items transfer monies from; 1) the 1st and 4th Cent Special Reserves to
the Convention Center Expansion Project ($913,974) and Roger Dean R/R
($618,274) projects, and 2) Convention Center Parking Garage R/R to Convention
Center Expansion ($5,000,000). These amendments and transfers essentially
reconstitute the “pool” R/R funding approach of the Special Reserve approved by
the Board on 3/17/09 to a project specific approach which
will better serve the TDC into the future by strategically allocating available
proceeds amongst forecast projects and expenses. When the Special Reserve was first
established, it was thought to be sufficient for the
R/R expenses at the Convention Center and Roger Dean through 2014. Through
proper management of these two facilities, the Special Reserve and the proceeds
from the Convention Center and Convention Center Parking Garage construction
projects; the County has not only funded the R/R for the two original projects
through 2020, but also now has sufficient funding to establish the Convention
Center Expansion project account with a starting balance of $10,025,199. (FDO Administration) (Countywide/District
