C. ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS

1. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) Amendment No. 1 to the Pathway and Minor Construction Continuing Services Contract R2023-0255 with Wynn and Sons Environmental Construction Company, Inc. (WSE), dated March 14, 2023 (Pathway Contract), to update the proposal form; and

B) Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Small Paving and Minor Construction Contract R2022-1490 with WSE, dated December 20, 2022 (Small Paving Contract), to update the proposal form.

SUMMARY: Approval of these amendments will modify the pay item for “Cast-In-Place and/or Surface Applied Tactile Surface” on the proposal form of each contract into two separate pay items. These amendments are needed because existing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sidewalk ramp configurations vary throughout Palm Beach County (County) and require different approaches to upgrade the ramps, requiring the use of the two pay items. Both contracts currently allow WSE to decide on the type of ramp to be installed in each location. It has been determined that it is in the County’s best interest to have the County choose the type of ramp to be installed. To allow the County to direct WSE which of the two surfaces to install, a separate pay item with a new unit price for Cast-In-Place Tactile Surface, and a separate pay item with the existing unit price for Surface Applied Tactile Surface are required in both contracts. These two contracts were presented at two separate Goal Setting Committee (GSC) meetings and had their own Affirmative Procurement Initiatives (APIs) set. The Pathway Contract was presented to the on August 3, 2022. The GSC applied APIs of a 20% minimum mandatory Small Business Enterprise (SBE) of which 5% must be Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation for African-American and/or Hispanic owned firms. WSE agreed to 22.51% SBE and 20.24% MBE participation. To date, tasks in the amount of $1,348,774.72 have been authorized for WSE for the Pathway Contract. The Small Paving Contract was presented to the on May 4, 2022. The GSC applied an API of a 20% minimum mandatory SBE participation. WSE agreed to 86.6% SBE participation. To date, tasks in the amount of $432,209.39 have been authorized for WSE for the Small Paving Contract. WSE has an office located in the County. Countywide (YBH)

The original scope of this Project is to widen 2.5 miles of both Seminole Pratt Whitney Road and Northlake Boulevard to 4-lane divided roadways, including new stormwater drainage systems, shoulders/bike lanes, retention ponds and sidewalks, as well as the addition of new traffic signals at the intersection of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road and Northlake Boulevard.

D. COUNTY ATTORNEY

1. Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida (BCC), amending the Rules of Procedure incorporated into Section 500.00 of the Palm Beach County Administrative Code; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: Staff recommends the ensuing changes to the BCC Rules of Procedure in order to more accurately reflect the rules that apply to public participation during BCC meetings. These viewpoint-neutral and content-neutral restrictions serve to ensure that public comments are relevant to proceedings before the BCC and are not unrelated, disorderly, disruptive, truculent, or obstructive. Additionally, the changes to the Rules of Procedure clarify the Mayor’s discretion to adjust speaking time limits, in a viewpoint- and content-neutral manner, as may be necessary to ensure the progress of BCC meetings and the resolution of issues therein. Finally, the proposed changes confirm that while County employees are free to address the BCC, comments pertaining to an active grievance, arbitration, or other personnel disputes are not appropriate for this forum and will not be addressed by the BCC.

B) ratify the signature of the Mayor on the HUD FY 2022 CPF/CDS Grant Agreement No. B-22-CP-FL-0253 (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) #14.251), for the period October 17, 2023 through August 31, 2030, in the amount of $1,000,000, as granted by Congresswoman Lois Frankel, for medical respite services for homeless residents who are in need of further medical care; and

C) approve a Budget Amendment in the amount of $1,000,000 in the Capital Outlay Fund to recognize the grant award.

Summary: The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, (P.L. 117-103) made available grants for purposes of CPF/CDS. The CPF/CDS awards are administered by HUD. On March 14, 2023, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the HUD FY 2022 CPF/CDS Application. On July 31, 2023, the Community Services Department (CSD) was notified of the award letter and request for signatures. The HUD award of $1,000,000 will be used for the rehabilitation and reconfiguration of the Lewis Center Health Clinic (Lewis Center). The total cost of the project is $1,451,828. CSD is currently verifying the utilization of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG-CV) funds to support the remaining $451,828 required for this project. Medical respite care is acute and post-acute medical care for people experiencing homelessness or HIV/AIDS, who are too ill, or frail to recover from a physical illness, or injury on the streets, but not ill enough to be in a hospital. The program closes the gap between hospitals and homeless shelters/housing facilities that do not have the capacity to provide medical support services to the frail or recovering. The Division of Human Services and Community Action Program will receive the funds as the Lead Entity for the Palm Beach County Homeless Continuum of Care pursuant to 420.624 (6), Florida Statute.

5. Staff recommends motion to approve: Contract for Provision of Services for the Ryan White Program HIV/AIDS Part A (RWHAP) and Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Initiative Program in Palm Beach County with Broward Regional Health Planning Council (BRHPC), for the period November 1, 2023 through February 28, 2025, in an amount not-to-exceed $500,000, for the provision of health insurance premiums and cost-sharing assistance for RWHAP and EHE clients. Summary: The contract is necessary due to several major changes regarding health insurance eligibility. Under Medicaid unwinding, clients who are no longer eligible for Medicaid are being given the opportunity by the state to enroll in an Affordable Care Act (ACA) Health Insurance plan and receive assistance with their premium payments regardless of their Federal Poverty Level (FPL). The Florida Department of Health (FDOH) is lowering the eligibility for RWHAP clients to receive premium assistance to 50% FPL for the upcoming open enrollment period, which began November 1, 2023. FDOH does not provide Health Insurance Navigation and Premium Assistance directly, and instead has entered into a contract with BRHPC as the sole provider of this service across the entire state of Florida. BRHPC is the only entity that can confirm client eligibility for FDOH clients and process premium assistance on their behalf. This contract will supplement current service contracts that are RWHAP only using EHE funding once all RWHAP funds are exhausted. BRHPC will be reimbursed a $26 administrative transaction fee per premium payment in addition to the actual cost of the premium. RWHAP has 449 clients that are currently enrolled in health insurance plans. There is an average cost savings of $116 per person to provide health insurance versus direct payment for medical services which extrapolates to $52,000 in cost savings to the program annually. Comprehensive health care services include a full network of medical providers and inpatient hospital/surgery services that are not available directly through the RWHAP program. There are no additional costs with this contract. Health insurance premiums and cost-sharing assistance will be provided to approximately 100 clients. No County match is required.

Summary: Palm Beach County’s (PBC) Public Safety Department Division of Justice Services contracts with providers to coordinate reentry services to those returning to Palm Beach County from incarceration. Providers are solicited and selected for a three year period through a competitive procurement process, although funding is allocated on an annual basis. For 2022-2025, TLP, RB and IHSR were selected to receive funding for services such as pre and post release case management, client support services and mental health treatment. The State of Florida FY23–FY24 General Appropriations Act provided $500,000 in non-recurring general revenue funds to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners for Adult Reentry Services. This funding supports the provider contracts who serve returning residents who are released from FDC facilities and return to Palm Beach County. Approximately 663 adults (358 Sago Palm Reentry Center and 305 Post Release) have been served by the County’s Reentry Program in County FY23. This includes 137 pre release new enrollments at Sago Palm and 182 post release new enrollments. Of those newly enrolled approximately 78% of participants who reported needing assistance with housing and 79% of who reported needed assistance with behavioral services received support and assistance in these areas. During FY 23, funds were also used by the City of Riviera Beach to incorporate important evidence based programing pre release such as Moral Reconation Therapy, Inside Out Dads, Peer Group, and Casual Conversation with a behavioral health specialist. Separate contracts are necessary for each provider based on funding source and the beginning and ending dates of the county and the state fiscal year. Contracts utilizing funding from the State of Florida FY23–FY24 General Appropriations Act are retroactive to July 1, 2023. Contracts funded through ad valorem funds and Federal and State JAG funding are retroactive to October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. There was a delay in the processing of these contracts due to not receiving the Florida Department of Corrections purchase order until July 1, 2023, the City of Riviera Beach’s extensive contract approval process, and several contractual changes needed to be made and approved by all legal parties.

AA. PALM TRAN

1. Staff recommends motion to:

A) adopt a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), of Palm Beach County, Florida, approving a FY2024 Public Transportation Grant Agreement (PTGA) in Block Grant funding for urbanized public transportation operating assistance (FM No. 407188-3-84-01) with the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), providing a grant in the amount of $6,332,223, to offset the operating costs of providing fixed route services to the public in Palm Beach County. The PTGA will become effective upon FDOT execution and has an expiration date of June 30, 2027;

B) approve a Budget Transfer of $233,094 in the Palm Tran Operating Fund 1340 to reconcile the revenue budget to the actual grant award and reduce the transfer from the General Fund 0001; and

C) approve a Budget Transfer of $233,094 in the General Fund 0001 to reduce the transfer to Palm Tran Operating Fund 1340 and increase Contingency Reserves.

Summary: The PTGA provides Palm Beach County its annual allocation of the Public Transit Block Grant Program (CSFA 55.010); Palm Tran will utilize the grant funds to offset the operating costs of providing fixed route service on all routes in the County. This FY2024 PTGA, in the amount of $12,664,446, requires a match of 50% or $6,332,223 and provides a grant in the amount of $6,332,223. The match is included in Palm Tran’s FY2024 budget. The grant requires broader indemnification by the County than that approved by PPM CW-F-049. The grant requires the County and its officers, agents, or employees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless FDOT and all of its officers, agents, and employees from any claim, loss, damage, cost, charge, or expense arising out of the County’s non-compliance or performance of this agreement. The indemnification obligation must also be passed on to contractors and/or consultants. The Risk Management Department and County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the indemnification requirements of this grant. Given that liability is limited to County’s non-compliance or performance of this agreement and the statutory caps of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, Palm Tran recommends Board approval.

2. Staff recommends motion to approve: a contract between the Palm Beach County Board of Commissioners (BCC) and Trapeze Group for the DriverMate Module software in the amount of $218,994. Summary: On June 17, 2020, Palm Tran received funding from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to assist with the purchase of new scheduling software and supporting equipment for the Go Glades and Paratransit Service. On August 22, 2023, the BCC approved the extension of the grant agreement to July 31, 2024, to allow time to acquire the Trapeze Module, DriverMate, for the entire Paratransit fleet and use the remainder of the grant funds which do not require a County match, and will fund 100% of the acquisition cost. The DriverMate Module acts as an electronic manifest for drivers allowing for real-time scheduling and trip updates, and improved communication between drivers and dispatch. A noteworthy feature of DriverMate is its seamless integration with Palm Tran’s current Trapeze infrastructure, this integration is designed to necessitate only minimal changes to the existing infrastructure, thereby ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing potential disruptions. The grant requires broader indemnification by the County than that approved by PPM CW-F-049. Trapeze’s limitation of liability and responsibility for any claims, damages, costs or losses is limited to the amount of the license fees paid by County. In addition, Trapeze will not be liable to the Licensee (County/Palm Tran) or any third party for losses or damages suffered by Licensee or any third party which fall within the following categories: i). incidental or consequential damages, whether foreseeable or not; ii). Special damages even if Trapeze was aware of circumstances in which special damages could arise; and iii). Loss of profits, anticipated savings, business opportunity, goodwill, or loss of information of any kind. The Risk Management Department and County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the indemnification requirements of this contract. Palm Tran recommends Board approval. Countywide (MM)

Summary: Several of the vehicles utilized by Station 81, including ARFF vehicles, at PBI are nearing, or at the end of, their typical service life, resulting in increased maintenance costs and difficulty in sourcing replacement parts. The Department of Airports, in coordination with Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, has identified the need for the replacement of an existing ARFF vehicle. The first replacement ARFF vehicle of the same make and model was put in service in 2023. A plan is in place to replace vehicles that are beyond their typical service life over the next several years, which includes the purchase of a second ARFF vehicle. The procurement of the second ARFF vehicle is being processed through the Sourcewell piggy-back agreement for Firefighting Apparatus and Fire Service Vehicles awarded to Rosenbauer Minnesota, LLC, through Sourcewell Contract #113021-RSD. The Agreement adheres to Section 2-54f(5) of the Purchasing Code for Alternative Source Selection, which establishes the requirements for piggy-back purchases. As a result, the purchase is exempt from the Equal Business Opportunity Program as set forth in Sections 2-80.20-2-80.40 of the Palm Beach County Code. Pursuant to changes to Chapter 332, Florida Statutes, effective July 1, 2023, a governing body of a commercial service airport may not approve contracts in excess of $1,000,000, on a consent agenda.

SUMMARY: The Bonds are being issued by the Authority to finance a portion of the costs of acquiring, rehabilitating and equipping a multifamily rental housing facility for the elderly containing approximately 240 units known as Boynton Bay Apartments (the “Project”). The Project is located at 499 Boynton Bay Circle in the City of Boynton Beach, Florida. The Authority will require that the units be rented to qualified persons and families whose average household incomes do not exceed 60% of area median income ($58,440 for a family of four for 2023) for a thirty (30) year affordability period. The Borrower is Boynton Bay Apartments, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, or an affiliate thereof (the “Borrower”), and the developer is Shag Boynton Bay Developer, LLC. The total project cost is $126,660,734. The Bonds will be payable solely from revenues derived from the Borrower and/or other collateral provided by or on behalf of the Borrower. Bryant Miller Olive, P.A. is Bond Counsel to the Authority with respect to the Bonds. Raymond James & Associates, Inc. will be the underwriter or placement agent for the Bonds. The resolution of the Authority authorizing the issuance of the Bonds will include language substantially as follows: The County assumes no responsibility for monitoring compliance by the Borrower of applicable federal income tax, securities laws or other regulatory requirements. The Borrower understands and agrees that it is responsible for monitoring its compliance with all applicable federal income tax, federal securities law and other regulatory requirements, retaining adequate records of such compliance, and retaining qualified counsel to respond to or assist the Authority and the County in responding to any audit, examination or inquiry of the Internal Revenue Service, the Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory body. The Borrower assumes responsibility for monitoring compliance with applicable provisions of federal tax laws and U.S. Treasury Regulations relative to the Bonds, and shall retain adequate records of such compliance until at least three (3) years after the Bonds are retired. In the event of any audit, examination or investigation by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the tax-exempt status of the Bonds or any other related tax matters, the Borrower shall be responsible for retaining qualified counsel to respond to such audit. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and credit of the County nor any County funds are pledged to pay the principal, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. District 7 (HJF)

Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, approving the issuance of not exceeding $100,000,000 Housing Finance Authority of Palm Beach County, Florida, Homeowner Revenue Bonds, Multiple Series (the “Bonds”) within the meaning of Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). SUMMARY: The Bonds are being issued by the Housing Finance Authority of Palm Beach County, Florida (the “Authority”) to implement its Single Family Homeowner Revenue Bond Program (the "Program"), which Program is for the purpose of providing to qualified mortgagors mortgage financing for owner-occupied, single family residential housing facilities within the Authority’s area of operation. The Authority intends to apply for unused volume cap private activity bond allocation (“PAB”) from the Florida Division of Bond Finance on or before the deadline of December 29. Unused volume cap PAB is allocated by lottery. The Authority intends to request “carry-forward” allocation for whatever amount of PAB the Authority receives. The Authority will be able to use this carry-forward allocation after December 31, 2023 for either single family homeowner revenue bonds, single family mortgage credit certificates and/or multifamily housing revenue bonds. Single family homeowner revenue bonds have not been financially feasible for a number of years, but that may change given current market conditions. Eligible applicants may not exceed 140% area median income ($98,300 for a family of four for 2023) and 90% of the average area purchase price. The affordability period will be established based on receipt of the bonds and the final approved use of the bonds (i.e. homeowner program or multifamily program). The Authority retains Bryant, Miller & Olive, P.A. and Greenberg Traurig, P.A. as its bond and disclosure counsel on a rotating basis. However, it has not yet been determined which of these firms will fill these roles in the event the Bonds are issued as set forth above. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and credit of the County, nor any County funds, shall be pledged to pay principal or redemption premiums, if any, or interest on the Bonds. Countywide (HJF)

B) direct staff to negotiate the loan/grant agreement; and

C) authorize the County Administrator, or designee, to execute the loan agreement, amendments thereto, and all other documents necessary for project implementation that do not substantially change the scope of work, terms, or conditions of the award.

SUMMARY: Amaryllis Gardens is a 44-unit affordable multifamily rental property located in Pahokee, Florida that was built in 1992 to provide affordable rental housing for domestic farm workers. The project was funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development with loans, grants, and rental assistance. While originally built for domestic farm laborers under the USDA 514/516 Program, due to the diminished need for farm labor housing over some years, Amaryllis Gardens was granted waivers to the farm labor housing requirement and this exception was made permanent in December 2011. As the property has continued to age, USDA’s priority for preservation funding has excluded the eligibility of projects on waivers. In June of 2020, ownership of the property was transferred to DHS, a Florida not-for-profit corporation established in 2019 for the purpose of providing, preserving, and developing affordable rural housing for very low, low, and moderate income families. DHS is requesting funding towards the renovation of 43 units to preserve this affordable multifamily development. Staff recommends a zero interest rate loan of $1,262,000 to fund exterior repairs including roofing, windows, and exterior painting. The total rehabilitation cost of the project is $2.47 million, and funding for the balance of project costs will be provided by the Housing Assistance Council (HAC). All housing units in the project will remain affordable to tenants with incomes no greater than 100% of Area Median Income for no less than 50 years. The funding agreement and related documents pursuant to these SHIP funds will be between the County and the entities identified herein or their respective successors and/or assigns. To facilitate project implementation, staff requests authorization for the County Administrator, or designee, to execute the loan agreements and related documents.

The Green Cay Phase 2 Project (Project) includes the design and construction of a new Water Purification Facility (WPF) located at the Southern Region Water Reclamation Facility (SRWRF) capable of treating two (2) million gallons per day (MGD) of purified water and expandable to four (4) MGD, a new state-of-the-art education/learning facility co-located with the WPF, a new sixty-three (63) acre public park with purified waterways located at the corner of Jog and Flavor Pict Roads, and two (2) new surficial aquifer production water wells and associated water transmission lines. CDM is near completion of the Phase 1 Pre-construction Services, which includes design, permitting, piloting, and Phase 2 competitive bidding under the Contract. The Amendment is for CDM to provide Phase 2 Construction Services including a GMP for the completion of design, engineering services during construction, construction of the Project, and warranty services. The Contract was procured under the requirements of the Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance. On June 22, 2022, the Goal Setting Committee established the following Affirmative Procurement Initiatives (APIs) for Phase 2 Construction Services of the Project: (i) a minimum mandatory 20% SBE subcontracting goal of which 5% is for African American and/or Hispanic owned firm(s). At the time of establishing the APIs for Phase 2 Construction Services, Phase 1 Pre-construction Services of the Contract achieves 29.84% SBE participation, which includes 24.02% M/WBE participation, 11.29% MBE (B), 11.49% MBE (A), and 1.23% WBE. CDM’s SBE mentor protégé has since graduated from the SBE program. Phase 2 Construction Services Amendment provides for 13.30% SBE participation, which includes 0.67% M/WBE participation, 0.13% MBE (B), 0.15% MBE (H), 0.33% MBE (A), 0.06% WBE. The cumulative SBE participation, including this Amendment is 14.83%, which includes 2.92% M/WBE, 1.20% MBE (B), 0.14% MBE (H), 1.40% MBE (A), and 1.23% WBE. A subcontracting waiver request was approved by the Office of Equal Business Opportunity. CDM is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, but maintains an office in Palm Beach County from which the majority of the work will be undertaken. The Project has overwhelming support from local, state, and federal agencies and successfully secured the following grant funding: $5,000,000 from South Florida Water Management District Alternative Water Supply FY23 (AWS Grant), $3,000,000 from Florida House of Representatives Appropriation FY23, and $10,500,000 from American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Response Replacement. Due to timing issues, the GMP does not meet the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act, which is a requirement of the AWS Grant. Complying with the Davis-Bacon Act may increase the GMP cost by an amount estimated to be $2.25 million dollars or less. PBCWUD will negotiate in good faith with CDM to execute a future change order to ensure compliance with said grant provisions. The remaining project cost is included in the PBCWUD FY24 budget. These are County ARPA Response Replacement funds that do not require a local match. (PBCWUD Project No. 20-036) District 5 (MWJ)

1. Summary: On November 2, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved a Fiscal Strategy for the spending of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, which included an allocation of $4,000,000 for the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands. The parcels owned by Claudette Maloney (Maloney Parcels) and the parcel owned by Camille Y. Meikle f/k/a Camille M. Chin and Camille Mekle Chin and Damon S. Chin (Chin Parcel), are interior parcels located in an area known as Palm Beach Heights (part of the Pal-Mar Ecosite). The Pal-Mar Ecosite is part of a large ecological greenway that stretches from just west of the Atlantic Ocean to just east of Lake Okeechobee. The area provides habitat for a wide variety of native plants and animals and it is part of a hydrologically significant region that includes the headwaters of the federally designated Wild and Scenic Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee River. Hence its value as environmentally sensitive land. Appraisals were obtained from Anderson & Carr, Inc. and M.R. Ford & Associates, Inc. who assigned a $15,000 and $16,000 per acre value for interior Palm Beach Heights parcels, respectively. Callaway & Price, Inc. reviewed the appraisals and concluded a reasonable aggregate value of $15,500 per acre for interior Palm Beach Heights parcels, which is the basis of the offer. Both Agreements allow for the County’s due diligence review of the parcels within 45 days of Board approval. The County will pay title insurance policy premium, closing and recording costs estimated to be $895 for the Maloney Parcels and $545 for the Chin Parcel. The Environmental Resources and Management (ERM) Department will perform pre-acquisition environmental assessments for the parcels prior to closing. Boundary surveys will not be obtained for the parcels due to the remote location. ERM will be responsible for the administration of the parcels. All costs related to the acquisitions will be paid from existing funds received from the ARPA Response Replacement Fund. These are County ARPA Response Replacement funds that do not require a local match. These acquisitions must be approved by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners).

G. PALM TRAN

1. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) the first amendment to Contract No. F500651/LI (R2023-0536), an emergency contract for Palm Tran Connection Services Run Package A by and between Palm Beach County, and MV Transportation, Inc. (MV) extending the emergency contract end date to April 30, 2024; and increasing the not to exceed amount by $12,057,718.47 for the provision of paratransit service;

B) the first amendment to Contract No. F500652/LI (R2023-0535) an emergency contract for Paratransit Services - Dial-A-Ride/MOD - Glades Region by and between Palm Beach County, and MV Transportation, Inc. (MV), extending the emergency contract end date to April 30, 2024; and increasing the not to exceed amount by $563,027 for the provision of paratransit service; and

C) the first amendment to Contract No. F500651/LI (R2023-0537) an emergency contract for Palm Tran Connection Services Run Package B by and between Palm Beach County, and First Transit, Inc., (First Transit), extending the emergency contract end date to April 30, 2024; and increasing the not to exceed amount by $7,783,442.06 for the provision of paratransit service.

Summary: A new solicitation for paratransit services was advertised on July 25, 2023. The award of the new paratransit service contract has been delayed due to a protest to the recommended award. These amendments are intended to maintain life sustaining paratransit, and Go Glades services until a new contract can be awarded. Despite rising costs due to market conditions for operating and labor, these contract amendments maintain their pricing structure with no increase to the fixed and variable costs associated with providing paratransit transportation. A lapse in providing these contracted services would be detrimental to the interests, health, safety, and welfare of the County by reducing transportation services to vulnerable citizens. Palm Tran Connection provides approximately 744,000 trips a year to over 10,000 customers. Of these trips, 48% serve those with disabilities, 48% are older adults, and 4% of the trips are to lower income individuals. Go Glades provides approximately 115,500 trips per year to Glades residents and visitors. Countywide (MM)
