H.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Contract with D.S. Eakins Construction Corp. in the amount of $374,007 to replace a portion of the drainage system at Roger Dean Stadium.  SUMMARY: The work consists of replacing damaged portions of the 17 year old storm water system serving the practice fields. These failures have caused the system to become overwhelmed with excessive ground water entering through breaks in the lines then causing the pump station to run excessively. The breaks in the lines have also caused some sinkholes which can only be remedied by replacing the failed portions of the storm system.  The sports facility use agreement allows for the County and Team to mutually agree as to the most appropriate entity to manage renewal/replacement projects identified on the approved renewal/replacement schedule.  The funding for this project is from the Tourist Development Council – Roger Dean Stadium Building Renewal and Replacement Fund. This work was competitively bid with D.S. Eakins Construction Corp. submitting the lowest responsive, responsible bid.  The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation in this Contract is 97%.  The total construction duration is 45 days.  D.S. Eakins Construction Corp. is a certified SBE contractor and is a Palm Beach County company. (Capital Improvements Division) District 1 (ME)

The City of West Palm Beach conveyed two properties to Habitat for Humanity on November 23, 2015, and is also providing a water/wastewater capacity fee waiver and expedited permitting for a total contribution of approximately $25,000 to the project. Habitat for Humanity currently owns the remaining five properties.  Project Funds will be used for construction costs and other eligible HOME costs in order to make the homes affordable.  All homes will be occupied by households whose incomes are no more than 80% of Area Median Income.  Funds will be secured by encumbrances on the property.
