SUMMARY: This annual Minor Construction contract is an indefinite-quantity
contract with a maximum cumulative value per year. Projects are bid among the pre-qualified
participants. This amendment is a
renewal to the contract. The original contracts provided for an initial one
year term with four one-year renewal options. Staff is bringing forward

dollar value within this renewal period as the use of this competitive bidding
process continues to increase versus using the job order contracting method as
in the past. During the third term of this contract, the County awarded
$842,718.04 in work orders. In addition, Staff is requesting the cumulative
limit be increased by $1,500,000 and the contract extended for one year or when
the contract value is reached, whichever comes first. This would be the last renewal with the
contract re-bid at the end of this term. All contractors are Palm Beach County
companies with the exception of Coral-Tech Associates, Inc. who is a Broward

Summary: The 2013 Assistance to Firefighters
Grant (AFG) Program is a competitive grant program designed to assist local
fire departments in protecting citizens and firefighters against the effects of
fire and fire-related incidents. This
grant program funds activities such as purchasing firefighting equipment,
personal protection equipment, training, firefighting vehicles, and
firefighter/first responder safety projects. Fire Rescue submitted an
application for firefighter safety and personal protection equipment (PPE). If awarded the grant request, Fire Rescue
will use the $799,695 in federal funding to purchase 293 personal protective
coats and 296 personal protective pants, along with nine washer/extractor
machines and nine specialized dryers. This grant funding would cover 100% of
the first year start up costs for the purchase of the PPE, initial advanced
cleaning of 1,400 sets of PPE by an outside vendor, and the purchase of
equipment necessary for routine cleaning and maintenance. Our goal is to provide high quality,
up-to-date PPE to our firefighters to protect them while conducting fire
fighting operations, therefore reducing exposure to cancer-causing byproducts
due to outdated and/or soiled protective gear. Grant rules require submission
of grant applications by electronic format in order to assure an efficient
review and competitive scoring of all funding requests submitted under this
program. The deadline for submission of this Grant Application to the grantor
agency was 5:00 p.m. on December 6, 2013.
Due to the preparation time, submittal deadlines, and BCC meeting dates,
the grant had to be submitted prior to full Board approval. Pursuant to Section
309.00 of the Palm Beach County Administrative Code, the Mayor approved this Grant

BB. SHERIFF (Cont’d)
5. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Budget Transfer of $89,450 from the Law
Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO).
SUMMARY: Florida Statute 932.7055(5) provides that the seizing agency
shall use Forfeiture proceeds for school resource officer, crime prevention,
safe neighborhood, drug abuse education and prevention programs, or for other
law enforcement purposes, which include defraying the cost of protracted or
complex investigations, providing additional equipment or expertise, purchasing
automated external defibrillators, and providing matching grant funds. F.S.
932.7055(5) also requires that no less than 15% of the LETF’s previous year’s
revenues be used for the support or operation of drug treatment, drug abuse
education, drug prevention, crime prevention, safe neighborhood and school
resource officer programs of various non-profit organizations. The PBSO’s FY
2014 estimated donation requirement will not be finalized until year-end
close-out. The PBSO’s support of these programs exemplifies its strong
commitment to the prevention and reduction of crime throughout the communities
it serves and its desire to put money back into these communities to support
organizations that provide such services. The
year-to-date transfer for all donations to outside organizations after approval
of this item is $665,043. The funds are requested here are to aid PBSO
and qualified organizations that meet the requirements set forth in F.S.
932.7055. Use of LETF requires approval by the Board, upon request of the
Sheriff. The current State LETF balance
is $461,441. Approval of this request will reduce the State Law Enforcement
Trust Fund balance to $371,991. The PBSO certifies that the use of
these funds is in accordance with F.S. 932.7055. Below is a table indicating the organizations
the PBSO seeks to fund and the corresponding amount of funding proposed per
respective organization or agency. No
new positions are needed and no additional County funds are required. Countywide

E. ENGINEERING
& PUBLIC WORKS
1. Staff recommends motion to approve:
A) the addition of one Professional Engineer, Pay Grade 45, to the complement of the Traffic Engineering Division of the Engineering and Public Works Department; and
B) a Budget Amendment of $46,174 in the County Transportation Trust Fund to recognize the revenue from Fire Rescue and appropriate it to the salaries in the Traffic Division.
SUMMARY: The Traffic Engineering Division and the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Department (Fire Rescue) have been working on developing and deploying software that will allow traffic signal timings to change in order to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of Fire Rescue vehicles to emergency calls. The development of the software has reached a point where wide scale deployment is feasible. This new position would be modifying traffic signal timing parameter necessary to deploy the software and monitoring system performance. Without this new position, it could take eight to ten years to conclude wide scale deployment using existing staff. Approval of the budget amendment will recognize the revenue from Fire Rescue and allocate funding for the salary and fringe benefits for the additional position. After deployment is completed, the person in this new position will monitor system performance and work on new adaptive signal systems. Countywide (MRE)

program after June 2014; and
B) on whether to continue to exclude right turn on red violations and to provide
a 0.5 second grace period if it is decided to continue with the program.
SUMMARY: The County executed a contract for red light cameras on June 21,
2009. The contract with American Traffic
Solutions (ATS) expires in June 2014. In order to continue the County’s red
light camera program, new proposals must be solicited. The current contract
does not allow citations for right turns on red or for violations that occur
less than 0.5 seconds into the red phase. Both of these key contract provisions
were extensively discussed and adopted by the Board in mid-2008 and show that
this program exists for safety, not revenue generating purposes. Countywide

F. INTERNAL AUDITOR
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) addition of the Internal Audit Manager position to the complement of the
County Internal Auditor's Office; and
B) a $52,828 Budget Transfer from the General Fund Contingency Reserve to
fund the position for the remainder of fiscal year 2014.
SUMMARY: The previous audit manager retired in August
2012 and the position was reclassified to a senior auditor based on the County Internal
Auditor's belief that he could perform the duties of both positions and that an
additional auditor was more important.
Subsequently, the County Internal Auditor has been overwhelmed by the
duties of both positions and has realized that an audit manager position is
essential to the effective functioning of the office. The County Internal Audit Committee reviewed
this situation in November 2013 and unanimously supports this request. Countywide

SUMMARY: ISS is
proposing a variable rate structure for providing supplemental services to
external agencies and a reduction in our current Internet rate for network
services. These standard rate structures
were developed based on an analysis of market pricing for similar services and
will be applicable to all future agreements for supplemental services provided
to external agencies. This program

replaced with a new Resolution that complies with the uniform policies and
procedures for advisory boards adopted by the Board in Resolution No.
