Lake, LLC, an affiliate of Housing Trust Group, LLC, for Grand Lake Apartments,
a 384 unit multi-family rental project located at 2001 Main Street in Belle
Glade. Due to the selected developer’s
inability to meet the expenditure deadline, the SHIP award was declined. The RFP provided that if County is unable to
successfully enter into agreement with the respondent awarded funding, the
County may elect to award to the next highest ranked respondent. The second-ranked respondent was Portofino
Apartments, Ltd., for the rehabilitation of Portofino Apartments, a 270 unit

recommends motion to approve: Work Authorization (WA) No. 5 for the Emergency 30ʺ
Force Main Repair on 40th Street North (Project) with Johnson-Davis
Incorporated in the amount of $657,444.19.
Summary: On July 12, 2016, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved the Pipeline
Continuing Construction Contract (Contract) with Johnson-Davis Incorporated (R2016-0902). WA No. 5 provides for the repair of
approximately 1,000 ft. of 30" wastewater force mains along 40th Street
North west of 110th Avenue North. The Project will replace an
existing 30" PVC force main with a new 30" ductile iron force main. The Project is necessary to provide for
infrastructure improvements due to the failure of the previous force main and
to provide greater resiliency for the infrastructure in the area. The failure is
believed to have occurred due to the presence of a rock layer in the area that
the pipe was imbedded in causing stress on the PVC. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal
established by the SBE Ordinance (R2002-0064) is 15% overall. The Contract with
Johnson-Davis Incorporated provides for SBE participation of 3.28%. Johnson-Davis, Incorporated initially
submitted the bid to provide for SBE participation of 15.43% but after the
Office of Small Business Assistance review, their SBE participation was reduced
to 3.28% due to their two subcontractors not being certified to perform the
work as stated on the contract at the time of bidding. One of the
subcontractors has now been certified and another subcontractor is in the
process of being certified, which will increase Johnson-Davis, Incorporated SBE
participation percentage to the initial bid submittal amount of over 15%. Work Authorization
No. 5 includes 16.43% 4.19% overall participation. The cumulative
SBE participation, including WA No. 5 is 16.43% 8.28% overall.
Johnson-Davis Incorporated is a Palm Beach County company. The Project is
included in the FY16 FY17 Capital Improvement Plan adopted by the

recommends motion to approve: First Amendment to Interlocal Agreement with
the School Board of Palm Beach County modifying the “priority of use” for
School Board Facilities located in municipalities where the municipality is the
primary provider of recreation services. Summary: On October 20,
2015, the County executed a new Interlocal Agreement with the School Board for
the purpose of sharing one another’s recreational facilities. This First
Amendment to Interlocal Agreement R2015-1501 provides for a change in the
priority of use of School Board Facilities, which typically provides that the
County and County User Groups have priority over municipal activities and
programs. The County does not generally use the School Board Facilities located
in certain municipalities where the municipality is the primary provider of
recreation services and desires to give priority to municipal activities and
programs. The municipalities affected by this amendment include Boca Raton,
Belle Glade, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Riviera Beach, Wellington, and West
