$900,000. The IST Project Plan currently
funds the Project at $500,000 in FY2023 to upgrade the existing span wire
signal with a mast arm signal. The
design was recently completed and the estimate updated. The request for additional funding to be used
in FY2026 is due to escalating design, construction, and labor costs. The
$400,000 will be transferred from EPW’s IST Reserves to the IST Fund. The Sales Tax Oversight Committee reviewed
this request at their May 21, 2026 meeting and
approved it unanimously. This Project is funded by the

Summary: On August 17, 2021, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved
the annual low voltage services contract (R2021-1064 through R2021-1069). The
work consists of new installations, replacement and/or repair of low voltage
systems in County-owned properties on an as needed basis. The contractors now
join the list of 16 prequalified contractors for a total of 19 prequalified
contractors with a contract expiration date of August 16, 2026. The specific
requirements of the work will be determined by individual work orders issued
against this annual low voltage services contract. These contracts are five (5)
year indefinite-quantity contracts with a maximum cumulative value of
$4,000,000 across all prequalified contractors. Work will be awarded as work
orders on a lump-sum, competitively bid basis across
all prequalified contractors. Contractors may qualify
at any time and be added to this annual low voltage services contract before
the term ends. Projects less than $150,000 are bid among the pool of prequalified
contractors. Projects $150,000 or greater
are advertised on the vendor self-service (VSS) website and are bid among the
pool of pre-qualified contractors while projects
$200,000 or greater are additionally advertised in the
newspaper. The bidding pool is further expanded, for projects $150,000 or
greater, to include additional bidders responding to the specific project
advertisement that submit a qualification application at least ten (10)
calendar days before the bid due date. The annual low voltage services contract
was presented to the Goal Setting Committee (GSC) on March 17, 2021, and the
GSC established an Affirmative Procurement Initiative (API) of a Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) price preference where an SBE contractor will be given a price
preference if its bid is within 10% of the lowest non-small business bid. To
date, the cumulative SBE participation on the annual low voltage services contract

motion to:
A) authorize the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD) to pursue funding from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Planning and Design Loan Application for an amount estimated up to $34,000,000 for expansion of Water Treatment Plants (WTP) 2, 8 and 11; and
B)
delegate authority to
the County Administrator, or designee, to sign all loan application forms and
supporting documents and complete all registration requirements, execute the
forthcoming loan agreement and all future time extensions, task assignments,
certifications, and other forms associated with the forthcoming loan agreement
and any necessary minor amendments that do not substantially change the scope
of work, terms, or conditions of the forthcoming loan agreement.
Summary: The DWSRF
Program provides low-interest loans to eligible entities for planning, design
and construction of public water facilities. WTPs 2, 8 and 11 require
significant upgrades to meet current and emerging federal regulatory
requirements, including standards established under the Safe Drinking Water
Act. Without improvements, the plants face increased risk of noncompliance,
potential enforcement actions, and reduced reliability in delivering safe
drinking water. The loan application will be submitted by June 30, 2026. The
loan terms include a 20-year (30-year for financially disadvantaged
communities) amortization and low-interest rates. The DWSRF financing rate is
determined using the Bond Buyer 20-Bond GO Index average market rate for the
full weeks occurring during the three (3) months in the preceding fiscal
quarter and applying that average rate to a formula from the rule. There are up
to 0.85% in additional rate reductions (the minimum interest rate is 0.2%) that
may be assessed based on Davis Bacon requirements, American Iron and Steel
requirements, implement of an asset management plan, and constructing a water
conservation project. The loan repayment will be funded from Water Utilities user fees,
connection fees and balance brought forward. (PBCWUD Project Nos. 24-033, 25-029, &
