(Rosso) in the amount of $743,903.10 for the construction of Wallis Road Pathway, E-3 Canal to Haverhill Road.  SUMMARY: Approval of this Contract will allow Palm Beach County to issue a notice to proceed to Rosso, a Palm Beach County based company, to begin construction of a 6' wide concrete pathway on the north side of Wallis Road between the LWDD E-3 Canal and Haverhill Road and extend the existing storm water discharge to the E-3 Canal.  The work includes mobilization, clearing and grubbing, maintenance of traffic, asphalt pavement, earthwork, drainage, NPDES compliance, and other work as described in the Contract and on the plans. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for all contracts is 15%.  The lowest responsive, responsible bidder, Rosso met the SBE goal with a proposed 42.6% participation.  District 2 (LBH)

3.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: Resolution authorizing execution of a tri-party railroad reimbursement agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) for the installation and maintenance of upgraded railroad grade crossing traffic control devices at the SFRTA crossing on Palmetto Park Road, DOT/AAR Crossing Number 628165L.

C.        ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS (Cont’d)

 

5.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Supplement No. 1 (Supplement) with AE Engineering, Inc. (AEE) to Project Contract in the amount of $1,587,922.22 for construction engineering and inspection (CEI) services for the bridge rehabilitation of Camino Real Road/Boca Club Bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway (Project).  SUMMARY:  On September 7, 2016, AEE was selected through the consultant selection process to provide CEI services for the Camino Real Bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway project.  It was then decided that it would be advantageous to divide the CEI services contract into two phases due to the complexities of the project.  Phase 1, the original contract, was for a constructability/bidability review of the plans to identify any potential problems prior to bidding the project for construction.  Under the County’s Purchasing Code and Countywide PPM CWF-050, the County Engineer had the authority to execute the original contract due to the value.  The contract was later received and filed by the Board in R2017-0222.  The amount expended for Phase 1 was $23,732.18.  No problems with the design plans were identified.  Under PPM CWF-050, the Board needs to approve this supplement, since it exceeds the authority of the County Engineer and the Contract Review Committee.  Approval of this supplement for Phase 2 will allow AEE to provide the remaining CEI services needed for the project. These services include contractor oversight and project administration throughout the duration of the construction phase. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for all contracts is 15%. AEE has committed to 3% SBE participation and has proposed 3.09% SBE participation for this supplement.  No firms committed to Palm Beach County’s SBE goal. The SBE participation for Phase 1 was 0%. AEE is a Palm Beach County based company. District 4 (LBH)

 

6.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Second amendment to the annual roadway pathway and minor construction contract R2016-0230, Project No. 2015055, dated March 1, 2016, with Wynn & Sons Environmental Construction Company, Inc. (Wynn & Sons) to increase the amount of the contract by $3,500,000. SUMMARY:  Approval of this second amendment will increase Wynn & Sons’ contract from $7,365,000 to $10,865,000. The increased contract amount is based on updated estimates that exceed the current contract amounts to be expended throughout Palm Beach County by the user departments. The increase is needed for miscellaneous minor roadway projects not anticipated in the original projections (these are generally smaller projects in nature that may need to be expedited) and additional work funded through the infrastructure sales tax for the Parks Department. To date, Wynn & Sons has performed $5,492,073 in task orders.  The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for all contracts is 15%.  Wynn & Sons committed to 95% and has achieved that to date for the Engineering related projects.  Wynn & Sons is an SBE company and a Palm Beach County based company.

4.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 01 to Agreement with South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Indian River Lagoon License Plate (IRLP) for an environmental restoration project at DuBois Park to modify the source of the required matching funds.  This grant contract runs from November 7, 2016, through November 7, 2017. SUMMARY:  On July 12, 2016, the Board authorized submission of an Indian River Lagoon License Plate grant application to SFWMD, R2016-0908, for shoreline stabilization and environmental restoration at DuBois Park.   The grant was awarded and the SFWMD Agreement No. 4600003522 was presented to the Board on December 20, 2016, R2016-1886 to receive and file.  The Funding Agreement is now being modified to 1) revise Exhibit “A-1” in order to combine project elements into a single pay application for accounting purposes, and 2) modify the source of the required matching funds.  The County originally proposed providing $33,333 in matching funds using staff time, however, $10,000 for an ADA compliant pathway has been included in the scope of the project and staff charges are being reduced from $33,333 to $23,333.

5.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve agreement with The Morikami, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation, defining and clarifying roles pertaining to the funding, management, operation and use of the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens (“Museum”); and

 

B) authorize staff to prepare and issue a request for proposal (RFP) to construct and operate an authentic Japanese Inn (Ryokan) at the Museum in accordance with the approved Master Plan.

 

SUMMARY: The Museum is owned by the County and is operated by the Parks and Recreation Department in cooperation with The Morikami, Inc. (Corporation), whose purpose is to support the overall mission and operations of the Museum. The Museum includes a theater, café, exhibit space, library, offices, gift shop, and 16 acres of Japanese Gardens and is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. Annual admissions at the Museum in FY 2016 were 116,974, with annual revenue of $1.4M.  On January 12, 1999, Palm Beach County (County) and the Corporation entered into an Agreement (R99-78D), superseding Agreement R88-1675D.  Since then, the complexity, size and scope of the Museum’s operation has changed significantly.  As a result, the agreement between the County and the Corporation must be updated to address the complexity of the operation, to ensure continued accreditation of the Museum, and to ensure that best practices are followed by the County and the Corporation in their partnership at the Museum.  While some of the changes are ministerial in nature, other changes are related to: clearly defining the scope of services so that the County and Corporation understand the roles of their respective organizations, the Museum’s permanent collection and artifacts custody and policy, and the duties and responsibilities of the Museum Director. The Corporation has partnered with the County for over 25 years and has provided financial, operational, and advisory support to the Museum. This agreement builds on the historic partnership between the County and the Corporation. In May of 2013, the Board initially authorized staff to prepare and issue an RFP to determine if there are groups interested in development of a Japanese Inn and Spa (Ryokan) and to obtain further information regarding development concepts. Prior to issuing the RFP, the Board approved the long standing Morikami Park Master Plan inclusive of a Ryokan in 2014 and a zoning change and comprehensive plan amendment to permit a Ryokan in 2015.  The issuance of an RFP was postponed due to other priorities during 2016.  Staff now feels it is the appropriate time to prepare and issue the RFP for the development and operation of a Ryokan at the Morikami Museum and Gardens.

A.        ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS

 

1.         TIME CERTAIN 10:15 A.M.

Staff requests the Board affirm: the recent staff initiative to preserve adjacent “good” trees (oaks, native trees, i.e. tamarind, buttonwood, gumbo limbo, etc.) when repairing and replacing sidewalks and pathways due to tree root damage, but continue to allow the removal of adjacent “nuisance” trees (ficus, earleaf acacia, carrotwood, Australian pines, etc.) during the repair process. SUMMARY:  The new initiative staff has implemented is the use of physical root barriers (not previously used) during the sidewalk repair in an attempt to prevent a recurrence of the root(s) lifting the sidewalk. Palm Beach County has an obligation to construct, maintain, repair and replace asphalt and concrete sidewalks/pathways within the rights-of-way that the County maintains. Over 1200 miles of concrete sidewalk and 200 miles of asphalt sidewalk are currently maintained.  A major problem occurs when tree roots damage the adjacent sidewalk and road pavement, typically buckling or raising up a section of sidewalk or road and causing a potential tripping hazard.  This is starting to occur more and more as trees within the rights-of-way mature.  The practice in past years was to allow developments to plant “canopy” trees (oaks, black olives, etc.) within close proximity of the pavement, many times between the road and the adjacent sidewalk. Long-term maintenance associated with the issue has been, and will be, expensive and will continue to consume a large amount of staff time.  The Engineering Department expends over $1 million per year addressing sidewalk repairs.  The maintenance crews (4 crews/20 staff members) currently spend about 50% of their time on this issue. While repair of the sidewalk alone addresses the short-term problem, removal of the adjacent tree(s) in conjunction with the repair addresses it long-term.  Staff has removed over 175 trees over the past three years. The removal of the trees decreases the long-term total repair costs and staff time, but often the removal of trees is not a popular option; particularly within communities represented by homeowner associations (HOA) (the support appears to be tied to the number of trees we might be looking to remove).  Over the past few years, staff has worked with individual homeowners (when there is not an HOA) to determine their support for removing individual trees.  A large majority of the time, the homeowners were supportive of the removal, and the trees were removed. “Good” trees are not cut down, and staff believes installation of root barriers will keep the problem away for the next 10-15 years. Staff recommends this process be used when the adjacent tree is not on the list of (controlled/prohibited) nuisance trees contained in the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC).  Staff believes this will be a cost savings, at least in the next few years, as removing a tree is expected to cost almost double the cost of installing a root barrier. Staff is requesting concurrence from the Board of County Commissioners as the number of identified locations continues to increase and we have a current backlog of over 250 locations involving trees damaging sidewalks. Over 100 of those locations are on public roads within the Lake Charleston community and that is the first area we will be implementing this new approach. Countywide (LBH)

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Collectively bargained side agreement entitled “Management Proposal for the Board of County Commissioners Ocean Lifeguards and Lieutenants” (Side Agreement) with the Communication Workers of America Local 3181 (CWA), providing for the upgrade of certain job classifications, certain salary increases, and an increase in certification pay for certain personnel with active EMT certifications, effective retroactively to March 1, 2017, at a total estimated first full year cost of $348,882.  SUMMARY:  The Side Agreement was collectively bargained with the CWA and ratified by the bargaining unit employees on May 11, 2017. It includes a two-paygrade upgrade to the Ocean Lifeguard and Ocean Rescue Lieutenant job classifications, an 11.5% pay increase retroactive to March 1, 2017, and an increase to EMT certification pay from $65 per pay period to $75 per pay period. Staff recommends Board approval of the Side Agreement, which represents a mutually acceptable compromise between the CWA and management, and serves to end the declared impasse and Special Magistrate process while providing Ocean Rescue Lifeguards and Lieutenants a salary and certification pay increase that will serve to make the County a more competitive employer among its peer Counties for these employee classifications. The projected first year cost of the proposal is $348,882, and is subject to annual across the board increases approved by the Board. Countywide (DO)

Included in the bill are amendments to the Baker and Marchman Acts for involuntary commitment of persons in mental health and substance abuse crises. The Bill states in § 394.462, F.S. “A transportation plan shall be developed and implemented by each county by July 1, 2017, in collaboration with the managing entity in accordance with this section.” The proposed Plan was developed by the Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network (SEFBHN) and reviewed by community stakeholders, the Department of Community Services, and the Palm Beach County Public Safety Coordinating Council.

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A)  adopt Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida establishing the Palm Beach County Reentry Task Force; and

 

B)  approve Budget transfer of $1,000 in the General Fund to transfer expenditures associated with the Reentry Task Force from the Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) to the Public Safety Department.

 

SUMMARY: This Resolution reestablishes the Reentry Task Force under the auspices of the Board of County Commissioners in the Department of Public Safety to align staff, the Reentry Program, and the Reentry Task Force under the same department. In 2008, the CJC established the Palm Beach County Reentry Task Force to increase public safety, reduce victimization and recidivism rates, and create an improved quality of life for Palm Beach County residents.  Subsequently, the County’s Reentry Program was created under the CJC with Task Force oversight and three dedicated staff to manage the program. On October 1, 2015, the County’s Reentry Program was transferred from the CJC to the Department of Public Safety, however the Reentry Task Force remained under the auspices of the CJC. The Resolution outlines the policies, procedures, and responsibilities of the Reentry Task Force and its continued relationship with the CJC, and includes adoption of the uniform requirements for boards and committees required pursuant to Resolution 2013-0193.  Operating cost for the Reentry Task Force average $2,700 per year.  A transfer of $1,000 will fund the operating cost for the remainder of FY 2017.

E.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:   Contract with Jacobs Project Management Company (Jacobs) for Program Management Services for General Government Capital Program (GGCP). SUMMARY: This Contract is to provide program management services to assist the County and Facilities Development & Operations Department (FDO)/Capital Improvements Division (CID) in managing the GGCP, which includes the Infrastructure Sales Tax Program and traditional Five Year Capital Improvement Plan.  Program Management Services by Jacobs include a Sr. Project Manager to administer compliance with the approved Infrastructure Surtax Program and to act as the liaison to the PBC Infrastructure Surtax Independent Citizens Oversight Committee, as well as Project Controls Manager to monitor overall budgets, schedules, and reporting through use of a customized project management software system that is approaching completion of development. Jacobs will also provide Project Management Services through Project Managers as necessary to supplement FDO/CID staff.  The number of Project Managers is based on the additional man hours required to handle the additional workload from the Infrastructure Sale Tax Initiative.  Jacob’s employees would act as an extension of FDO/CID staff, acting as an owner’s representative and managing projects strictly in accordance with County procurement and contract management laws, policies and procedures. Design professionals and contractors will not know the difference between a County employee and a Jacob employee acting as a Project Manager through the course of service delivery and routine operations.  Use of Jacob’s personnel to supplement County staff is beneficial as it allows the County to readily expand (within the budget amount) and contract its work force based on need at any given time.  This is a five-year contract with an option for five additional one-year terms at the discretion of the County.  Unlike typical consultant contracts, a “Notice to Proceed” will need to be issued annually by October 1st for approval as part of the annual GGCP in the upcoming budget year. Such Notice to Proceed (NTP) will be issued administratively in an amount not to exceed the amount approved as part of the annual Capital Improvement Program.  If the NTP is not received by October 1st of each fiscal year, then the contract can be terminated.  A limited scope of services contract in the amount of $199,800 was previously executed by the Director of FDO to allow the consultant team to participate in planned workshops with industry, conduct outreach and coordination related thereto, set up the project management software system, and begin to provide project management services. This Contract only sets forth the hourly rates for the various Jacob’s personnel and sub-consultant that will perform services during the term of the contract. The estimated five-year contract value is $4,825,149, however this item only authorizes expenses for the remainder of FY 17 in the amount of $451,733, which will be reflected in the NTP issued to Jacobs following the approval of this item.  All Program Management costs (Project Executive, Sr. Project Manager, Program Controls Manager and project controls set-up) will be capitalized to the Infrastructure Sales Tax projects and the costs associated with the Project Managers and Field Inspectors will be charged to the applicable project. The goal for Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation is 15% and Jacobs’ SBE participation for this contract is 15%.  (Capital Improvements Division) Countywide (LDC)
