15.       Staff recommends motion to receive and file:  Notification of the cumulative total of change orders to Moss and Associates (R2007-0031) for the Jail Expansion Program having exceeded $1,000,000.  SUMMARY:  In accordance with PPM CW-F-050, when the cumulative value of changes approved by the Contract Review Committee exceeds $1,000,000 for the Jail Expansion Program, the Department is required to notify the Board that it has exceeded this reporting threshold.  This notification is also consistent with the overall change order review and process oversight as presented to the Board on March 20, 2012, and again on October 2, 2012.  The approval of Change Order No. 207 in the amount of $98,836 on September 12, 2012, by the Contract Review Committee, caused the cumulative value of changes for this project to exceed the cumulative limit threshold.  This item notifies the Board that the cumulative threshold has been reached. After the item is approved by the Board, the cumulative reporting threshold is reset.  The value of this contract is $129 million. (Capital Improvements Division) Countywide/District 6 (JM)

 

 

16.       Staff recommends motion to approve: the following Change Orders to the contract with Moss & Associates, LLC (R2007-0031):

 

A) Change Order No. 210 increasing the duration of the West County Detention Facility Outbuildings time by 236 days;

 

B) Change Order No. 214 increasing the Main Courts Renovation duration by 93 days and providing additional general conditions in the amount of $295,329; and

 

C) Change Order No. 215 decreasing the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the West County Detention Center Main Jail in the amount of $393,288.14.

 

SUMMARY: The Outbuildings consist of Eagle Academy, Impound Building, Fuel Station, and Drug Farm.  Change Order No. 210 is a time extension to the contract for 236 days with zero cost to the County.  This Change Order for time is based on: 1) the County delayed the start of construction for four months, due to a re-evaluation of programming of the Drug Farm and scope changes, 2) the building permit expired due to inactivity and re-submittal was required, and 3) Palm Beach County Electrical Inspector determined that the existing low voltage wiring for the Drug Farm was not code compliant.  All wiring was removed and replaced in order to comply with the current electrical code. This Change Order is being submitted at this time for approval due to an oversight to update the contract time. Change Order No. 214 is a time extension to the contract for 93 days and $295,329 in additional general conditions.  This time extension is based on the delivery and installation of the doors and hardware which were delayed due to errors by the architect and changes by the owner to the door and hardware schedules. Change Order No. 215 to reduce the contract amount is based on savings due to return of unused allowances and unused contingency resulting from buyout savings and reconciliation of sales tax recovery purchase orders. The Small Business Enterprise goal for this project is 15%.  Including these change orders, Moss & Associates has obtained 15.29% SBE overall participation under this contract.

Holley State Hospital in Lantana, Florida.  SUMMARY:  The A.G. Holley scrub site was identified as a high-priority acquisition site on the 1991 Environmentally Sensitive Lands Acquisition bond referendum.  The scrub habitat is one of the rarest in the State and supports several protected plant and animal species.  The County Natural Areas Program has been working to acquire this property for several years.  It will be an addition to the archipelago of scrub islands that include the Hypoluxo Scrub, Rosemary Scrub, High Ridge Scrub and Seacrest Scrub Natural Areas that preserve remaining high quality natural areas in some of the most densely developed portions of the east-central County.

SUMMARY: On September 11, 2012, the Board approved a ten year Interlocal Agreement (R2012-1303) between Palm Beach County and the Village of Tequesta concerning emergency medical services. The Village of Tequesta will provide primary Advanced Life Support (ALS) and routinely transport Basic Life Support (BLS) emergency services in four geographical areas that are in Palm Beach County Fire Rescue’s service areas. The four areas are: Area 1: all parcels south of the Village of Tequesta’s municipal border, east of Point Drive/Rio Vista Drive along the Loxahatchee River, and back north along Rio Vista Drive to the Tequesta border line. Area 2: all parcels not within the Village of Tequesta’s municipal boundary: east of Country Club Drive, south to Tequesta Drive, east to the Loxahatchee River, and back north to the Tequesta line. Area 3: all parcels not within the Village of Tequesta’s municipal boundary, east of the Loxahatchee River, south to the Tequesta line (just north of North Dover Road ), east to the Tequesta line (just west of Gardens Street), and back north to the Tequesta line. Area 4: All parcels within the City limits of Jupiter, south of the Village of Tequesta’s boundary line, east to the Florida East Coast railroad tracks, south to the Loxahatchee River, and back north along the Loxahatchee River to the Tequesta Line. Notwithstanding that the Interlocal Agreement is approved for ten years, the COPCN, with respect to the four geographical areas, will expire on December 31, 2016, at which time, a new COPCN will be issued through 2022 to complete the ten year interlocal agreement requirements.

1.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida approving the issuance of a Revenue Bond in an amount not to exceed $45,000,000 (the “Bond”) by the Palm Beach County Educational Facilities Authority (the “Authority”).  SUMMARY:  The proceeds of the Bond will be used by the Authority to make a loan to Palm Beach Atlantic University, Inc. to refinance certain existing debt.  Approval by an elected body is required by the Internal Revenue Code.  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.  District 2 (PFK)

 

 

 

B.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  an Agreement with Motorola Solutions, Inc., for the replacement of Master Site Equipment (MSE) for the County’s Countywide Public Safety 800 MHz Radio System (System). SUMMARY:  On August 21, 2012, the Board authorized a sole source procurement with Motorola Solutions, Inc. (Motorola) and approved Staff proceeding with negotiations for the replacement of the Master Site Equipment (MSE).  This Agreement will provide for the replacement of only the portion of the system that has reached the end of its useful life and is no longer supported with replacement parts so that mission critical reliability is maintained while maintaining interoperability with all current users and partners throughout and after the replacement is completed.  Upon scope of work finalization, the County’s consultant and Staff secured multiple sources of pricing for similar competitive and sole source procurements which were used as the basis for negotiations to ensure that the County received a fair price for the scope of work. The negotiated cost of the work is $4,226,961 and will be completed no later than June 1, 2013. The funding for this project is from the Renewal/Replacement & Infrastructure – 800 MHz System Fund which is comprised of system connection and renewal/replacement annual charges and $12.50 funds; both of which were collected for this specific purpose and cannot be used for other non-System purposes. Motorola is a Delaware corporation and there is no SBE participation in this Agreement. (FDO Admin) Countywide (JM)

C.        INFORMATION SYSTEMS SERVICES

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve the Pricing Schedules with AT&T Corporation for three (3) years for Voice and Data Services in the estimated amount of $10,448,142; and

 

B) authorize the County Administrator or his designee, ISS Director, to approve non-substantive changes, including additional locations in the Pricing Schedules which may require service. 

 

SUMMARY:  These Pricing Schedules will provide the County with voice and data services for a period of 36 months and will be appended to the existing AT&T Master Agreement, No. 133405UA, approved by the Board of County Commissioners on June 30, 2009 (R2009-1055). These Pricing Schedules do not include the leased 9-1-1 network which is associated with the Public Safety Department and is covered in a separate agreement with AT&T. Other pricing schedules for the provision of long distance services from AT&T are still in negotiation and will be presented to the Board in the near future. ISS contracted with the Baller Herbst Law Group of Washington, D.C., a nationally recognized telecommunications law firm, to assist with price negotiations and analysis and to obtain the best possible pricing and contract terms.  These Pricing Schedules will reduce costs by 40% over our current list price services or approximately $2.56M lower annually than our current contract baseline of $6.04M.  These Pricing Schedules will also enable the County to migrate to the new VoIP telephone technology without financial penalties.

NOVEMBER 20, 2012

 

 

5.         REGULAR AGENDA

 

 

D.        OFFICE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT & BUDGET

 

1.         CONTINUED

 

SUMMARY:  A1) The County acts as a pass through agent between FEMA and SWA for Hurricane Jeanne per an interlocal agreement submitting for FEMA reimbursement on behalf of the SWA.  A FEMA audit finding indicates the SWA should have filed a claim for $341,828.09 with their insurance company rather than FEMA for reimbursement.  SWA has filed an appeal on this claim.  Per FEMA procedures, deobligations must be paid and, if the appeal is upheld in SWA’s favor, the money will be returned.  A2) A grant of 38 $15,000 was received in FY 2011 and incorrectly recorded in the Spay/Neuter Special Revenue Fund.  The grant was from the Animal Farm Foundation, Inc for partial funding of renovations to an adoption van.  This is an accounting adjustment to transfer grant revenue from the Special Revenue Fund to the General Fund where the expenses were recorded. A3) The FY 2011 Management Letter issued by the external auditors states “the Risk Management Internal Service funds were accumulating large net asset balances (reserves)”. They also made an observation that a similar situation existed in the Fleet Management Fund.  Based on these comments, Staff has reevaluated the reserve levels and policies. Reserves have accumulated in the Fleet Fund for a number of reasons including reduced fleet replacement due to cuts, higher resale values, and extended replacement life cycles.  The Fleet Management policy regarding reserves has been revised to limit the operating reserve between 5%-8% of the operating budget and the equipment reserve at a minimum of $500,000, and the excess is being returned to the user departments.  The Employee Health Insurance Fund ended FY 2011 with a high net asset balance resulting from a reduction of the actuarially determined claims liability. Risk Management has implemented a self insurance interdepartment billing policy which includes a reserve level not to exceed two months of prior year total expenditures.  These changes along with lower than projected claims expenses have generated a surplus reserve which is also being returned to user departments. A4) Year-end budget adjustments of $300,000 are being made in FD&O’s budget to cover FEMA deobligations (a separate item to discuss FEMA deobligations is scheduled for December 4th).  Funds are available in the General Government budget to cover this adjustment.  A5) In 1987, the BCC approved an agreement with NOAH Development Corp. for the financing of Covenant Village ($1,350,000) and South Bay Villas ($700,000), two low to moderate income housing developments. The County has been carrying this $2,050,000 loan receivable on its financial statements. Since this receivable has been deemed uncollectable, the external auditors required the County to record a “bad debt” expense in FY 2011.  This budget amendment corrects the fund balance which was calculated prior to this adjustment and transfers funds from the General Fund to restore funding in the Capital Outlay Fund.  The adjustment by the external auditors was not recognized in time to be included in the FY 2012 mid-year budget amendment. J/K) The Budget Amendments in the Debt Service Funds are necessary to recognize revenue and increase the transfer to close out the fund.  L) Actual refund from Tax Collector and Property Appraiser in the Jupiter Fire MSTU Fund is less than budgeted which resulted in budget deficits in these lines. M) The first $3.5 million installment of the Palm Tran/ATU 1577 Pension Plan funding deficiency was made in September 2012. Although this unbudgeted expenditure was offset by higher than anticipated revenue, it resulted in a deficit appropriation budget of $325,000 for the year.  N/O) As discussed during the September budget meetings and at the October 30, 2012 BCC workshop, $645,957 is being swept from the Street Lighting Maintenance Fund to the Capital Outlay Fund. The total available for allocation to new street lighting projects in FY 2013 is $952,000. Countywide (PFK)
