provide milling and resurfacing of County roadways for countywide projects. The
Contract was renewed on October 22, 2019, with a 15% mandatory Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) goal set as the Affirmative Procurement Initiative. Due to the
limited availability of qualified certified SBE subcontractors, the Office of
Equal Business Opportunity issued a waiver on January 17, 2020, that reduced
the mandatory SBE participation to 5% for the remainder of the contract term.
On June 2, 2020, the second renewal was approved, and continued with the
reduced mandatory SBE participation of 5%. Ranger agreed to 5% SBE
participation for this work order. Approval of this work order will result in a

plan revisions, weather delays and holidays, and will extend the contract time
by 267 days resulting in a new completion date of December 20, 2018. After
completion and acceptance of the project on February 26, 2019, CAC submitted a
claim on May 16, 2019, for additional contract time and compensation.
Negotiations between CAC and Palm Beach County commenced and an agreement was
reached on March 18, 2020, resulting in the preparation of Change Order No. 8.
The contract was approved on September 27, 2016, 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%.

motion to approve: a settlement agreement and mutual release
(Agreement) with Engecon Construction, Inc. (ECI) for the amount of $245,392.62
to terminate the construction contract dated July 10, 2018 (R2018-0969) for
Palmetto Park Road from SW 7th Avenue to SW 5th Avenue,
and bridge replacement over the LWDD E-4/El Rio Canal (Project). SUMMARY: Approval of the agreement will
terminate Palm Beach County’s (County) construction contract with ECI and pay
them the agreed upon amount of $245,392.62 for overhead expenses such as
materials purchased, shop drawing preparation, M.O.T. preparation and
submittals, cost for bonds, workers compensation, and project insurance
requirements, that were incurred after the award of the construction contract
on July 10, 2018. This contract was initially put on hold before the notice to
proceed could be issued to ECI for 457 days, which includes the 120 days
allowed per Section 3-2.1 of the project documents page GP-8, unless otherwise
agreed by the contractor and engineer. The hold was necessary to address
utility issues that conflicted with several trees sought for preservation by
the City of Boca Raton. Upon resolution of the utility issues and consideration
of redesign and increased construction costs, it was determined that the best
course of action was not to issue the notice to proceed to ECI, abort the contract,
and rebid the project. District 4 (YBH)

As required by the IDEA, the County’s ordinance contains conditions precedent

and IDEA require monthly, quarterly and annual reporting of specific data

C) authorize the Mayor to certify the non-ad valorem assessment roll on

SUMMARY: On December 16, 1997 the Board approved Resolution 97-2152, and on
November 15, 2011, the Board approved Resolution 2011-1833, expressing the
intent of Palm Beach County to use the Uniform Method of collecting non-ad

abatement of nuisance conditions. Placing these accounts on the tax bill
reduces administrative (including collections) costs and provides for a more
efficient collection of amounts due to the County. A public hearing is required

SAFETY
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners,
Palm Beach County, Florida repealing and replacing Resolution No. R2019-1057;
expanding the use of Victims of Crime Emergency Support Fund. SUMMARY: Palm Beach County Victims of Crime Emergency
Support Fund (the Victim Fund), is funded by private donations, lawfully
mandated fines and penalties and revenue received from a DUI Diversion Program
operated by the Office of the State Attorney.
The fund currently has a balance of $720,586 and increases by
approximately $100,000 each year. In
October 2016, the County was selected as a demonstration site and received
grant funding in the amount of $579,965 from the US Department of Justice to
develop and institutionalize a multi-disciplinary coordinated approach to
respond to deaths involving DUI or Impaired Driving and meet the needs of
survivors/victims through trauma informed and victim-centered approaches. The
grant funds a DUI Project Coordinator position to organize and coordinate the
implementation of the multi-disciplinary response team, ensuring site and
agency performance of, compliance with and fidelity to the team, and
coordinating the work and products of partner organizations. Additionally, the position provides direct
services to survivors/victims of homicide including crisis intervention,
supportive counseling, accompaniment, and other advocacy assistance. The funding
for this grant expires September 30, 2020.
Since funds from the DUI Diversion program support the Victim Fund and
the State Attorney for the 15th Judicial Circuit of Palm Beach
County supports the intended use of the revenue, it is being requested to
expand the use of the Victim Fund to support the annual salary of an existing
DUI Project Coordinator position to continue the enhanced response to
DUI/Impaired Driving Related Deaths Program. Countywide (JW)
