PAGE ITEM
21 3L-2 REVISED SUMMARY: McCulley committed to an overall 15.5% SBE
participation in the contract. McCulley is only being contracted to transport
by marine barge and deploy artificial reef material, therefore they have no SBE
participation. McCulley’s master contract cumulative SBE participation
including this work order is 4.2% 2.8% and due to less trucking
services needed by the County, they may not meet their overall SBE goal of
15.5% as stated in their three year contract. (ERM)

4. Staff recommends motion to:
A) adopt a resolution to amend the original Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU)
special assessment amount, for paving and drainage improvements of Bishoff Road
from the dead end to Jog Road (Project), from $249.46 to the actual cost of
$233.18 per abutting footage and accept the project;
B) authorize the Palm Beach County Tax Collector and the

Clerk & Comptroller’s Office. On July 10, 2018, the Board of County

confirming the special assessment for the project. The initial special
assessment amount was estimated at $331,500 or $249.46 per abutting footage for

is $233.18 per abutting footage to all 14 benefitting property owners along
Bishoff Road payable in 20 equal annual installments at an interest rate of

termination, access and audits, criminal history records check,
non-discrimination and scrutinized companies sections and add the vendor self-service
registration required, notice and counterparts sections to be compliant with
current Palm Beach County (County) standards. Approval of the supplement will provide the design services necessary

was approved on November 7, 2017, prior to the effective date of the Equal
Business Opportunity Ordinance and pursuant to the Small Business Enterprise
(SBE) Ordinance at that time. The SBE goal for all contracts was 15%. SGC
committed to 85% SBE participation for

A) Amendment No. 1 to the Northlake Boulevard
from east of Hall Boulevard to Coconut Boulevard (Project) professional
services contract (R2018-0630)
dated May 1, 2018 (Contract) with Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (SCS) to

22, 23 and 24; and
B) Supplement No. 2 (Supplement) to the
contract in the amount of
$231,373.50 for additional
professional engineering services for the project.
SUMMARY: Approval of Amendment No. 1 will update the language of the payments, termination, access and audits, criminal history records check, non-discrimination and scrutinized companies sections and add the vendor self-service registration required, notice and counterparts sections to be compliant with current Palm Beach County (County) standards. Approval of the supplement will provide the additional design services necessary for the six-lane widening of Northlake Boulevard from west of 140th Avenue to west of Coconut Boulevard. The contract was approved on May 1, 2018, prior to the effective date of the Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance and pursuant to the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance at the time. The SBE goal for all contracts was 15%. SCS committed to 35% SBE participation for the contract. SCS proposes 20.6% for this supplement. Scheda accounted for 5% of the SBE commitment but they subsequently lost their SBE certification. The SBE participation for this supplement of 20.6% is for the work tasks assigned to the remaining two SBE team members during the selection process. Their cumulative SBE participation to date including this supplement is 21.64%. SCS has their principal office located in Broomfield, Colorado and has an office in the County. Districts 1 & 6 (YBH)
7. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Amendment No. 1 to the annual traffic
signal contract R2019-1260, Project No. 2019050, dated September 10, 2019, with
Gerelco Traffic Controls, Inc. (Gerelco), to increase the amount of the
contract by $6,000,000 and to extend the expiration date from September 9, 2020
to September 9, 2022; and
B) Amendment No. 1 to the annual traffic
signal contract R2019-1261, Project No. 2019050, dated September 10, 2019, with
Ferreira Construction Southern Division Company, Inc. (Ferreira), to increase
the amount of the contract by $6,000,000 and to extend the expiration date from
September 9, 2020 to September 9, 2022.
SUMMARY: Approval of Amendment No. 1 for
Gerelco and Ferreira will increase their contracts from $3,000,000 to
$9,000,000 and extend the expiration dates from September 9, 2020 to September
9, 2022. These contracts were initially awarded for one year each with option
for renewal at one year each for a total of three years. Staff is recommending renewing these
contracts for two years, since there is limited availability for these services
and there are over $3,800,000 in pending projects at this time. The increased
contract amounts are based on updated estimates that exceed the current
contract amounts to be expended throughout Palm Beach County (County). On
February 5, 2019, the Office of Equal Business Opportunity (OEBO) granted a
waiver of the Affirmative Procurement Initiative requirements because
sufficient qualified Small Minority Women Business Enterprises providing the
goods or services required by the contract are unavailable in the County,
despite every reasonable effort to locate them. The OEBO approved renewing
these contracts under the same terms on February 14, 2020. To date, tasks in
the amount of $780,305.41 have been authorized for Gerelco. Tasks in the amount
of $0 have been authorized for Ferreira. After this renewal, the contracts will
be resolicited. Countywide (YBH)

motion to:
A) ratify the signature
of the Mayor on the Phase 37 Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) Grant
Application, for a period to be determined upon receipt of funding, in the
amount of $300,000, for the provision of rental assistance to individuals and
families in need; and
B) authorize the County
Administrator or designee to execute grant agreements, amendments, thereto, and
all other documents necessary for the implementation of the Phase 37 EFSP
Grant.
SUMMARY: The Emergency Food and
Shelter National Board Program is a restricted federal grant that provides EFSP
funds. The award is administered locally by the United Way of Palm Beach
County, Inc. (United Way). On April 27, 2020, United Way released the Phase 37
EFSP Grant Application. The Division of Human and Veteran Services (DHVS) has
received EFSP funds for the past 25 years. The DHVS has applied for funds in
the amount of $300,000 to provide rental assistance to individuals and families
in need. During the last EFSP funding cycle 257 households were served, a 10%
increase from the previous funding cycle. The EFSP funds are non-recurring
funds and no County match is required. The emergency signature process was
utilized because there was not sufficient time to submit the grant application
through the regular BCC agenda process. (Division of Human and Veteran Services) Countywide (HH)

entered into an Interlocal Agreement (R2014-1043; Commission Contract No.
13486), that was subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1 to Contract
(R2014-1753; Commission Contract No. 13486 A-1) on November 18, 2014
(collectively, the 2014 Interlocal Agreement) setting forth the terms and
conditions to establish a Park in Palm Beach County for the benefit of the
public. This Agreement amends and restates the 2014 Interlocal Agreement, incorporates
previous amendments and specifies the County’s and Commission’s respective
roles regarding the construction, funding and maintenance of a paved road (Road
Improvement) needed to improve access to the Park. Specifically, this Agreement provides; 1)
that the County shall pay $1,000,000 to Commission for the Road Improvement,
and 2) that Commission shall be responsible for the design, permitting,
construction and maintenance of the Road Improvement, all future maintenance of
the Road Improvement and any and all costs in excess of the amount provided by
the County that are associated with the design, permitting, construction and
maintenance of the Road Improvement. If
the Commission fails to complete the design, permitting and construction of the
Road Improvement after County’s payment, the Commission shall reimburse the
County for the payments made pursuant to this agreement. The County shall pay
the Commission $750,000 within 90 days of execution of this agreement. The County shall pay Commission the remaining
$250,000 upon the county’s findings that the Commission has satisfied all
conditions of the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) or Temporary
Certificate of Completion (TCC) for the Park. If the Commission fails to
complete the work required by the TCO or TCC, the County will use the funds to
complete the required work. Funding was made available in the FY 2020 Capital
Improvement Program using ad valorem funds. This Agreement takes effect upon
final execution and remains in effect for 30 years from opening of trap/skeet

invited to bid on the project by submitting prequalification documents prior to
the submission of the bid response. On August 21, 2019, the Goal Setting
Committee applied Affirmative Procurement Initiatives (API) of sheltered market
for projects under $100,000 (when three or more Small Business Enterprises
(SBE) are qualified under the annual contract) or an SBE contractor will be
given a price preference if its bid is within 10% of the lowest responsive and
responsible bidder for projects in excess of $100,000. Since this project was
over $100,000, the SBE price preference API was applied. The Contractor is not
a certified SBE but submitted 17.44% SBE participation on this work order. The
overall SBE participation on the annual HVAC contract is 47.05%. The Contractor
is a local business. Funding for this project is from the Public Building

On February 5, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners approved an annual
construction contract with McCulley, a St. Lucie County Company, for the PBC
Artificial Reef & Breakwater Annual Contract Project No. 2018ERM03
(R2019-0226). Work Order No. 0226-3 will authorize the placement of

solicited, the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance (R2002-0064) was in
effect, with award recommendation taking place on October 17, 2018. McCulley
committed to an overall 15.5% SBE participation in the contract. McCulley is
only being contracted to transport by marine barge and deploy artificial reef
material, therefore they have no SBE participation. McCulley’s master contract
cumulative SBE participation including this work order is 4.2% 2.8%

motion to approve: an amendment to the Infrastructure Surtax (IST) Project Plan approved by the
Board of County Commissioners on April 4, 2017 reallocating $5 million to the
Riverbend/Loxahatchee River Battlefield Park Interpretive Center. SUMMARY: In
early 2016, staff submitted a final list of Infrastructure Sales Tax (IST)
projects to the BCC for approval. Included on that list was the Riverbend/Loxahatchee
River Battlefield Park Interpretive Center funded at $5 million. On February 9,
2016, Commissioner Valeche requested that the $5 million be reallocated to the
North County District Park project indicating it was a higher priority within
District 1. On March 16, 2016, the BCC approved the final list of IST projects,
which included $5 million for the North County District Park and would become
available in 2027. Following the passage
of the IST referendum in November 2016, the City of Palm Beach Gardens offered
to construct and operate the North County District Park site in exchange for a
long term lease of the 82 acre property.
The lease was executed and the City of Palm Beach Gardens completed the
first phase of the park in 2019. A
contract was entered into with a not for profit organization to complete the
construction of a multi-purpose indoor facility for phase two. City of Palm Beach Gardens officials have
indicated that they have no expectation of utilizing the $5 million
appropriated to the North County District Park project. As a result, Commissioner Valeche recommended
to the Board that the $5 million be redirected to the Riverbend/Loxahatchee
River Battlefield Park Interpretive Center as originally intended. This
reallocation was unanimously approved by the Sales Tax Oversight Committee at
their May 21, 2020 meeting. This project is funded through the

Grant Program in the amount of $456,007 for the period of January 20, 2020
through January 31, 2022. This grant 2020-VD-BX-0346, CFDA #16.034) was
awarded through stimulus dollars provided by the U.S. Congress and U.S.
President to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. To expedite the award of these
funds to local units of government for criminal justice needs related to
COVID-19, DOJ used the formula and funding mechanisms already existing for
those jurisdictions receiving the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance
Grants. These funds were awarded to Palm Beach County and County Administration
consulted the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) to craft a plan to
expend these funds within the local criminal justice system. PBSO will utilize
these funds for the courts and corrections to purchase fever monitors for the
Main Courthouse and two County Detention Centers, for corrections to purchase
four Western Shelters to house inmates with COVID-19 symptoms or exposure
outside the general population but within the secure perimeters at both County
Detention Centers, for law enforcement to purchase two testing machines to fit
test N95 and 3M masks for first responders, and to purchase two portable
solar message board trailers to display urgent information and public safety
bulletins, including public health alerts throughout needed areas of
the County. Due to the emergency nature of the CESF Program, a GAN was required
to change the signature authority from the Executive Director of the CJC to the
Mayor of Palm Beach County. The GAN was
approved by the Department of Justice and fully executed by the Executive
Director of the Criminal Justice Commission, in accordance with R2016-1029. No
local match is required for this grant. Countywide (JW)

Weisman Governmental Center for FY 2021;
C) Administrative adjustments to establish
funding in the FY 2021 budget for capital projects approved and established in
the current fiscal year. These projects
were approved in the current fiscal year (FY 2020) after the preparation of the
proposed budget and are therefore not currently included in the FY 2021
budget. These adjustments will have no
impact on proposed Ad Valorem taxes and will be incorporated into the tentative
budget to be presented at the first public hearing; and
D) Administrative adjustments to establish
funding in the FY 2021 budget for designated fund balances for contingency and
other projects and carryover for encumbrances.
These balances and encumbrances were approved in the current fiscal year
(FY 2020) after the preparation of the proposed budget and are therefore not
currently included in the FY 2021 budget.
These adjustments will have no impact on proposed Ad Valorem taxes and
will be incorporated into the tentative budget to be presented at the first
