Gallagher Risk Management Services, Inc., at a total cost not-to-exceed $11,415,154. SUMMARY: The projected 2020-2021 excess insurance program renewal premiums reflect a total not-to-exceed cost of $11,415,154, which is a 12% increase over the expiring premium. While the County’s loss experience has remained stable, the insurance industry has responded to numerous catastrophic events resulting in substantial losses. As a result, rate increases are being assessed on most lines of coverage, regardless of the County’s loss experience. The current estimated premiums represent the highest price point. The contracted broker will continue to negotiate with excess carriers until the April 1^st renewal date. The County’s total insurable property value currently stands at $2.6 billion. Coverage limits contemplate probable maximum loss estimates using various modeling scenarios and include a $1 million self-insured retention with a 4% windstorm deductible per insured location.

A. PARKS & RECREATION

1. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) a first amendment to Lease Agreement (R2018-0121) with the City of Palm Beach Gardens (City) to include additional language regarding non-discrimination and revenue sharing; and

B) a Public Private Partnership Sublease Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1, between the City and the Palm Beach North Athletic Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) for the development, construction and operation of an Indoor Recreational Facility at the Gardens North County District Park (Park).

SUMMARY: On January 23, 2018, the Board approved a 50-year lease agreement with the City for the construction and operation of a district park on 81.7 acres that serves the residents and visitors of northern Palm Beach County. The first phase of the park, which was opened to the public on June 29, 2019, included five lighted multipurpose fields, a restroom/concession building, a playground, splash pad, and associated infrastructure. All elements identified as Phase 1 in the lease agreement have been completed and are open to the public. A majority of the elements identified as Phase 2 in the lease agreement, including two lighted multipurpose fields, an open play area, a restroom, playground nature trails and related infrastructure have also been completed and are open to the public. The only element identified in Phase 2 of the approved master plan that has yet to be constructed is an indoor sports center. The City received inquiries from various private groups interested in developing and operating an indoor recreational facility under a public-private partnership. The City secured responses from qualified proposers for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of an indoor facility through a publicly advertised RFP process. The Foundation was the only responsive and responsible proposal that was received. The Foundation’s proposal calls for the development, construction and operation of a 200,000 square foot indoor recreation facility. Amenities identified within the facility include two ice rinks, six multi-sport courts, five multipurpose rooms, squash courts, a jogging track, children’s play area, fitness area and concession/restaurant. Construction is expected to commence within 18 months of agreement execution. The fundraising plan requires the project to be fully funded by May 31, 2023, and construction completed by December 31, 2028. The public-private partnership is supported by the nine surrounding municipalities in the North County area and have submitted letters of support. The original lease agreement was executed under the assumption that the City would construct the indoor sports facility; therefore, no language regarding the sharing of sublease revenue was included. A provision has been added to Section 2 of the lease agreement stating that the County will share any revenue that exceeds the City’s annual maintenance cost for the park. Section 4.07 of the lease agreement was also modified to include the County’s latest non-discrimination policy. District 1 (AH)

B. AIRPORTS

1. Staff recommends motion to adopt: a resolution approving the submittal of an application for entry of the North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport into the Federal Contract Tower (FCT) Program; and authorizing the County Administrator or designee to execute and submit all forms, applications and other documentation necessary for the North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport to be considered for entry into the FCT Program. SUMMARY: This resolution approves the submittal of an application for North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport (F45) to be entered into the FCT Program. As part of the First Addendum to the Interlocal Agreement (R2016-0468) with the City of Palm Beach Gardens (Interlocal Agreement), the County agreed to apply to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for construction of an air traffic control tower at F45 upon completion of an extension to the crosswind runway (Runway 14/32) from 4300 feet to 6000 feet in length. The County has initiated an Environmental Assessment (EA) required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which is required to receive approval to construct the runway extension. In order to ensure timely compliance with the requirements of the Interlocal Agreement, the Department of Airports recommends submitting an application to the FAA pending completion of the EA due to the lengthy process involved in obtaining approval into the FCT Program. This resolution also provides for a delegation to the County Administrator or designee to execute and submit all forms, applications and other documentation necessary to apply for entry into the FCT Program. For purposes of this delegation, the Director of Airports is considered a designee of the County Administrator. Countywide (AH)

C. PALM TRAN

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: the Fare Collection System contract with Genfare, a Division of SPX Corporation, in the amount of $10,912,988.64, effective March 17, 2020 for a ten year term with two three year options for renewal. SUMMARY: On May 15, 2019, Palm Tran issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a new Fare Collection System (FCS) for its Fixed Route Bus Services. Palm Tran received two proposals to the RFP. Genfare was selected as the successful bidder for the installation of the new FCS. Genfare will be responsible for all services, labor, supervision, materials, documentation, development, installment, testing and training of a fully integrated FCS that supports and facilitates Palm Tran’s business operation. The capital funding for this project is being provided through the Palm Beach County Transportation Planning Agency (TPA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307 Formula grant. The total contract amount is $10,912,989 which consists of a base cost of $6,358,771 for the system equipment and installation. The contract includes on-going Operations and Maintenance support costs for ten years, $84,048 for the first year’s cloud hosting, with two optional three year extensions, totaling $4,466,804 if all 16 years are utilized. The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation percentage of this contract is 6.3%. The contract contains an indemnification provision that differs from the County’s standard requirements. In accordance with PPM CW-F-049, the Department of Risk Management and the County Attorney’s Office have negotiated with Genfare and agreed to limit Genfare’s indemnification to the County to the extent arising out of Genfare’s negligent, reckless, intentional, malicious or wrongful acts or omissions. The contract also contains a limitation of liability for Genfare at an amount not-to-exceed of $16,280,661. The new, state-of-the-art FCS will provide Palm Tran with 165 new validating fareboxes, 22 ticket vending machines, 6 agency point of sale machines, testing/maintenance/training equipment and back office software that supports account-based sales, mobile applications, inventory management, revenue management and website purchases. It will also include 600 retailers within the point of sell network, those of which will be dispersed geographically across Palm Beach County to ensure accessibility. The FCS will also allow interoperability with the South Florida region, including, but not limited to Broward County Transit, Miami-Dade Transit and South Florida Regional Transit Authority (Tri-Rail), which will foster a more efficient transfer between systems. Palm Tran is scheduled to complete the installation of 165 fareboxes and 22 ticket vending machines in August 2020. The implementation of mobile ticketing and retail outlet sales will follow in September 2020. Additionally, fare capping, fully functional account based set-up will be implemented by September 2020. All open payment options (i.e. contactless credit/debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay) will be implemented the first quarter of 2021. Fare capping will ensure the rider never pays more than the lowest fare structure for a particular period of time. The new FCS will assist Palm Tran with implementing a Regional Interoperability program by Fall 2020. The contract requires a separate payment processing agreement to be brought back to the BCC for execution. If the payment processing agreement cannot be negotiated within 90 days from execution of this contract, the Executive Director of Palm Tran is authorized to extend the 90 day time period to continue negotiating the payment processing agreement.

D. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

1. Staff requests board direction: regarding a Second Modification and Restatement of Deed Restrictions on approximately 6.144 acres of property previously donated by the County to the Elizabeth H. Faulk Foundation, Inc. (Foundation). SUMMARY: The Elizabeth Faulk H. Foundation, Inc. was organized in 1971 as a Florida not-for-profit corporation with the charitable purpose of “providing free psychological and consultation services to the needy”. In 1979, the County conveyed approximately 10 acres of land located on the West side of Boca Rio Road just north of S.W. 8^th Street to Foundation. The Foundation constructed a 13,000 SF building on roughly four acres of the property in which it operates its Faulk Center for Counseling. In 2013, Foundation was approached by a developer who proposed to develop a 96 unit/117 bed senior assisted living facility on the remaining undeveloped six acres of the property. The developer proposed a complicated financial and organizational structure which would create a revenue stream for Foundation and would provide Foundation the opportunity to provide Alzheimer’s and memory care services to elderly residents in the Assisted Living Facility (ALF). This financial structure involved tax exempt bond financing and required modification of the deed restrictions. In 2014, the County modified the deed restrictions to release the County’s reverter; restrict use of the property to: i) mental health counseling and rehabilitation of the mentally ill; and ii) the development, use and operation of a senior living facility with assisted living units accommodating approximately 117 assisted living beds providing memory care services; allow for conveyance of the property to an affiliate of Foundation; and allow the property to be mortgaged for purposes of securing financing. Unfortunately, the developer seriously miscalculated the construction costs of the project, ~~and walked away from the project after the bonds were issued but prior to commencement of construction,~~ which resulted in foreclosure of the mortgage on behalf of the bondholders by PJPF Holdings, LLC (PJPF) and the Foundation’s loss of approximately six acres. As a result of foreclosure of the mortgage, the property can be used as a general ACLF and is not required to provide memory care services. Since it acquired title in 2018, PJPF has sought to sell the foreclosed property for development consistent with the existing deed restrictions. PJPF entered into a contract to sell the property to Protea Senior Living Boca Raton, LLC which is willing to develop an ALF using essentially the same design as previously proposed, will provide memory care services and will perform improvements which will benefit the Foundation’s remaining property, including new access drives, improved surface water management and connection to public ~~water and~~ sewer. Foundation and Protea will also enter into a unity of control which requires that the development be in accordance with the Site Plan approved by the Foundation. Protea is requesting the deed restrictions be further modified to: i) remove the requirement that the Property remain owned by a not for profit entity, ii) approve the conveyance of the foreclosed property to Protea Senior Living Boca Raton, LLC; iii) clarify that assisted living services ~~may~~ will be furnished at the facility together with memory care services; and iv) ~~releasing~~ upon receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy for Protea’s ALF, the County’s approval rights for future conveyance or encumbrance of the foreclosed property shall terminate. The Foundation ~~and staff both~~ supports the requested modification of the restrictions. ~~as this will continue to require development of~~ Development of Protea’s project will provide assisted living units ~~and provide~~ with memory care services consistent with the original restrictions and will ~~also~~ provide Foundation with an opportunity to provide mental health services to residents within Protea’s ALF, which was the goal of the previous transaction. ~~needed improvements~~. In the event the Board does not approve the modification of restrictions, Protea will be unable to move forward its project, and it is possible that PJPF could sell the property to a developer who would be less cooperative and not agree to provide memory care services. In any event, resolution of this issue would continue to drag out for years. Due to the unusual nature of this transaction, staff is requesting Board direction.
