31 5C-1 REVISED SUMMARY: At its November 7, 2017 board meeting, the Board directed staff to
reestablish the Commission on the Status of Women, which was created by
enactment of Ordinance No. 73-9 on June 29, 1973 and ultimately repealed by
Ordinance Number 95-27 in July of 1995. The Board has now determined a need still
exists for a County advisory commission to represent the special interests and
concerns of local women of all races, ethnic and cultural backgrounds,
religious convictions and social circumstances to review County policies and
other important issues pertaining to the best interest of the citizens of Palm
Beach County, particularly the women therein. Staff recommends adoption approval
of the Resolution creating and establishing a fifteen member advisory
commission, to be known as the Palm Beach County Advisory Commission on Women. (Admin)
31 5C-2 REVISED MOTION & SUMMARY A)
conceptually approve the establishment of an Addiction Stabilization
Facility on County property located at 673 Fairgrounds Road, West Palm Beach,
commonly known as the Stockade; and B) authorize
staff to negotiate an interlocal agreement with the Health Care District of
Palm Beach County (District), providing for use of the property as an Addiction
Emergency Room (AER) and an outpatient Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)
clinic as part of the C.L. Brumback Primary Care Clinics, a federally qualified
Health Center operated by the District.
A) authorize staff to continue
to work with the Health Care District of Palm Beach County and other community
partners to establish an Addiction Stabilization Facility within Palm Beach
County. The facility would include an Addiction Emergency Room (AER) and an
outpatient Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) clinic as part of the C.L.
Brumback Primary Care Clinics, a federally qualified Health Center operated by
the District; and B) authorize staff
to negotiate contract(s) with the Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network
and/or directly with community providers to expand substance abuse treatment
capacity on an emergency basis utilizing an amount not to exceed $500,000 in
funding from the approved allocation for implementation of the Palm Beach
County Opioid Crisis Response Plan.
Continuation of such contracts beyond the current fiscal year would be
subject to an appropriation for this purpose in the FY 2019 budget.
SUMMARY: These approvals will allow staff
to develop agreement(s) for the continue to work with the Health Care
District of Palm Beach County and others
to establishment of an addiction treatment facility on
currently vacant County property within Palm Beach County and to expand
substance abuse treatment capacity at community facilities on an emergency
basis. The addiction
stabilization facility will include two (2) major components designed to
stabilize a patient’s addiction and avoid relapse. The first component is a
14-bed, 24/7 addiction emergency room (AER).
Patients who have overdosed may be directly transported by Fire Rescue
to the AER. Additionally, patients may
be self-referred or transferred from other emergency rooms. At this facility, patients will receive
complete medical assessment and treatment, psychosocial and psychiatric
assessment, peer counseling, and navigation services. At the same location, an outpatient MAT
Continuation Clinic will provide similar psychosocial and psychiatric
assessments, medication assisted treatment, individual and group therapy,
pharmacy, and primary care services for conditions including HIV, Hep-C,
etc. The combined facilities will serve
as a centralized hub and a model facility for addiction assessment, treatment
and referral to community network facilities.
The emergency services being recommended will include additional
inpatient treatment beds and expanded capacity for medication assisted
treatment on an inpatient and outpatient basis. Ancillary services including transitional
beds and permanent housing navigation may be co-located at the facility and may
require an additional provider and a co-located county staff position subject
to future Board approval.
Recommendations from the Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Council
related to the expansion of treatment capacity at existing community provider
facilities, and enhancements to prevention and education programs are also
being pursued and will be presented on a later date. The anticipated term of
the interlocal agreement is five (5) years.

C. ENGINEERING
& PUBLIC WORKS
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A)
second
amendment to the annual civil engineering contract with Civil Design, Inc.,
(CDI) R2016-0308, dated March 22, 2016, to extend the contract expiration date
from March 21, 2018 to March 21, 2019, and modify the fee schedule among other
changes;
B) third amendment
to the annual civil engineering contract with Michael B. Schorah &
Associates, Inc., (MBS) R2016-0309, dated March 22, 2016, to extend the
contract expiration date from March 21, 2018 to March 21, 2019 among other
changes; and
C)
second
amendment to the annual civil engineering contract with Mock, Roos &
Associates, Inc., (MRA) R2016-0310, dated March 22, 2016, to extend the contract
expiration date from March 21, 2018 to March 21, 2019 among other changes.
SUMMARY: Approval of these
second and third amendments will extend the expiration dates of the annual
civil engineering contracts for CDI, MBS and MRA from March 21, 2018 to March
21, 2019. These extensions will provide
a continuation of the required professional services provided by CDI, MBS and
MRA for one year, on a task order basis. The amendment with CDI will also
adjust the hourly rates as allowed in the original contract. These amendments
with CDI, MBS and MRA will also amend “Section 5.2. Payments” and will add
“Section 21 – Chapter 119, F.S. Public Records” and add “Section 22 –
Additional Reporting” to the original contracts per Palm Beach County
requirements. These amendments are the
second renewals of two possible one year renewals permitted per the original
contracts. The first amendment with MBS
was due to a scrivener’s error in their multiplier. To date, tasks in the amount of $359,970 have
been authorized for CDI with 97.16% Small Business Enterprise (SBE)
participation which exceeds their commitment of 95%. Tasks in the amount of $47,992 have been
authorized for MBS with 100% SBE participation which exceeds their commitment
of 94%. Tasks in the amount of $265,552
have been authorized for MRA with 95.79% SBE participation which is currently
less than their commitment of 100%.
MRA’s SBE participation was reduced because their subconsultant, Scheda
Ecological has now become ESA/Scheda Environmental, which is not an SBE
company. MRA will endeavor to increase
their SBE participation in the future.
CDI, MBS and MRA are Palm Beach County (County) based companies and are
all certified as SBE companies. Countywide (LBH)

2. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: Resolution to abandon a portion of a 12-foot
utility easement lying within Parcel I and a portion of a 15-foot utility
easement lying within Parcel X, plat of Del Mar Plaza Sub-Division No. 1, as
recorded in Plat Book 41, Page 108, public records of Palm Beach County,
Florida. SUMMARY: Adoption of
this Resolution will eliminate the portions of the utility easements that are
in conflict with future plans for development by FRIT Florida, Inc. The
petition site is located approximately 700 feet northwest of the intersection
of Powerline Road and Palmetto Park Road. District 4 (LBH)
3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: second
amendment to the annual roadway pathway & minor construction contract
R2016-0231, Project No. 2015056 (Federalized), dated March 1, 2016, with Wynn
& Sons Environmental Construction Company, Incorporated (Wynn & Sons)
to increase the amount of the contract by $565,000 and to extend the expiration
date from February 28, 2018 to February 28, 2019. SUMMARY: Approval of this second amendment will
increase Wynn & Sons’ contract from $1,510,000 to $2,075,000 and extend the
expiration date from February 28, 2018 to February 28, 2019. 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 originally
anticipated and additional work required by Palm Tran. The tasks issued under
this contract will be partially or fully funded with federal funds, making
Small Business Enterprise participation not applicable. This is the second of
two allowable renewals. After this
amendment, the contract will need to be rebid. Countywide (LBH)
4. Staff recommends
motion to approve: second
amendment to the annual landscaping contract R2016-0142, Project No. 2015054,
dated February 9, 2016, with Arazoza Brothers, Corporation (Arazoza) to
increase the amount of the contract by $25,000 and to extend the expiration
date from February 8, 2018 to February 8, 2019. SUMMARY: Approval of this second amendment will
increase Arazoza’s contract from $1,210,000 to $1,235,000 and extend the
expiration date from February 8, 2018 to February 8, 2019. The increased
contract amount is based on estimated amounts for additional work required by
Parks and Recreation. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE)
goal for all contracts is 15%. Arazoza, the sole bidder, committed to 0% SBE
participation. Arazoza has performed $75,738.45 in task orders to date. This is
the second of two allowable renewals for this contract. After this amendment, the contract will need
to be rebid. Countywide (LBH)
5. Staff recommends
motion to approve: first
amendment to the annual guardrail contract R2017-0233, Project No. 2017052,
dated March 14, 2017, with Southeast Highway Guardrail and Attenuators, LLC
(Southeast) to increase the amount of the contract by $425,000 and to extend
the expiration date from March 13, 2018 to March 13, 2019. SUMMARY: Approval of this first amendment will increase
Southeast’s contract amount from $375,000 to $800,000. This increase for
$425,000 is for the normal expected workload for the next 12 months. The original contract was increased from
$300,000 to $375,000 by Change Order No. 1, which was approved on November 29,
2017, by the Contract Review Committee. This increase in the contract amount is
based on the estimated additional amount to be expended for guardrail
maintenance and replacement throughout Palm Beach County by the user departments. Southeast is a Palm Beach County
based company. The Small Business enterprise (SBE) goal for all contracts is
15%. Southeast, the sole responsive bidder committed to 0% SBE participation.
Southeast has performed $251,942.16 in task orders to date. This is the first
of two allowable renewals under this contract. After the second renewal, the
contract will need to be rebid. Countywide (LBH)

6. Staff recommends
motion to approve: contract
with Community Asphalt Corp. (Community) in the amount of $2,457,741.50 for the
construction of the Australian Avenue and Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard
intersection improvements (Project). SUMMARY: Approval of this contract
will allow Palm Beach County to issue a notice to proceed to Community, a Palm
Beach County based company, to begin construction of the project. The proposed
work will add an eastbound right turn lane on the east approach of Palm Beach
Lakes Boulevard, expand the drainage system with an additional outfall, mill
and resurface the existing pavement, and construct new concrete sidewalks. The
Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for all contracts is 15%. There were no
bidders responsive to the SBE goal; however, Community is the lowest
responsive, responsible bidder with the greatest SBE participation of 8.6%.
Community was not able to meet the County’s SBE participation goal because of
the unavailability of specialized SBE contractors who provide utility and
drainage work. District 7 (LBH)
7. Staff recommends
motion to approve: work
order in the amount of $207,576 to construct a mast arm traffic signal at the
intersection of Hypoluxo Road and Rivermill Club Drive/Silverwood Drive, Palm
Beach County (County) Intersection ID Number 41648 (Project), utilizing the
County’s annual traffic signal contract R2017-0234 with Gerelco Traffic
Controls, Inc. (Gerelco). SUMMARY: Approval of this work order
will allow Gerelco to construct the project.
Per County PPM CW-F-050, this work order exceeds the threshold relating
to staff approvals of contracts, thus requiring approval from the Board of
County Commissioners. Gerelco is a Port
St. Lucie based company with an office in Palm Beach County. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for
all contracts is 15%. Gerelco’s SBE
participation for the contract is 23.1%, but their SBE participation proposed
for this work order is 2.67%. Their major SBE subcontractor, T.I. Electric, was
in the process of renewing their SBE certification with the County at the time
of signing this work order. Because Gereclo has not completed any major
projects under this contract to date, their achieved SBE participation is 0%. District
3 (LBH)
8. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Amendment to the Infrastructure Surtax (IST) Project Plan approved by
the Board of County Commissioners on April 4, 2017, to consolidate the
individual budgets for 79 street lighting projects into a project entitled Street
Lighting LED Replacements - Countywide; and
B) budget transfer of $1,675,000 within the Infrastructure Sales Tax Fund
to combine the multiple street lighting
projects into the Street Lighting LED Replacements – Countywide project’s
budget.
SUMMARY: The purpose
of the plan amendment is to consolidate the individual budgets for 79 street
lighting projects into a project entitled Street Lighting LED Replacements –
Countywide. The transfer will modify the fiscal accounting for these projects,
but will in no way modify the scope, timing or amount of funding allocated to
the Category as presented in the approved April 4, 2017 IST Project Plan. There
are currently 79 individually listed street lighting projects that will replace
the high pressure sodium lights with light emitting diode (LED) lights. The LED
projects are planned to utilize the Engineering Department’s annual lighting
design consultant to evaluate the lighting parameters. Palm Beach County will
then pay FPL to complete the lighting design and construct the improvements.
The budget transfers will implement the accounting changes for FY 2018 funding.
The Sales Tax Oversight Committee reviewed this request at their January 18,
2018 meeting and approved it unanimously. Countywide (LBH)

9. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Work Order 2015053-59 in the amount of $1,450,000
to mill and resurface Military Trail from Hypoluxo Road to Lake Worth Road
utilizing Palm Beach County’s (County) annual asphalt milling and resurfacing
contract R2016-0143 with Ranger Construction Industries, Inc. (Ranger). SUMMARY: Approval of this work order
will allow the contractual services necessary to construct the improvements.
Per County PPM CW-F-050, this work order exceeds the $200,000 threshold for
staff approvals of work orders to annual contracts, thus requiring approval
from the Board of County Commissioners. Prior to this work order, over $15
million of Ranger’s $20 million contract has been spent or encumbered. The
Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for all contracts is 15%. The SBE
participation proposed by Ranger for this work order is 15%. Approval of this
work order will result in a cumulative SBE participation of 14.9% for all the
work orders issued under the contract. This
project is funded through the infrastructure sales tax. Districts 2 &
3 (LBH)
10. Staff
recommends motion to approve:
A) Amendment to the Infrastructure Surtax (IST) Project Plan approved by
the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on April 4, 2017, to advance the
“School Zone System Upgrade” project from FY2024 to FY2018; and
B) budget transfer of $500,000 within the Infrastructure Sales Tax Fund
from reserves to advance the “School Zone System Upgrade” project from FY2024
to FY2018.
SUMMARY: The purpose
of this transfer is to advance the “School Zone System Upgrade” project from
FY2024 to FY2018. The scope of the project involves upgrading the communication
system for school zone flashers from its current antiquated beeper system to a
more robust, reliable, and redundant cellular communications
system. Over 100 school zones with the
warning flashers are planned to be upgraded through this project. The
justification for this project is safety enhancement for pedestrian and
vehicular traffic around schools that should be a top priority. The funding will remain at $500,000 but be
advanced (through the Engineering Department’s (Engineering) IST Reserve
account) from FY2024 to FY2018. The budget transfer will implement the
accounting changes for FY2018 funding. The Sales Tax Oversight Committee
reviewed this request at their January 18, 2018 meeting and approved it
unanimously. Countywide (LBH)

3. Staff recommends motion to accept: two nonstandard Utility Easements (Easements) granted by Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) to Palm Beach County on property located within Blackbird Subdivision. SUMMARY: The proposed Easements are required at two locations over lands where Water Utility Department (WUD) utilities have been installed, to allow WUD staff access to the property for operation and maintenance purposes. FPL has requested modifications to the standard utility easement that require approval by the Board of County Commissioners. Those changes include: (a) the deletion of covenant language relating to encumbrances and mortgages due to FPL’s inability to receive a consent and joinder from its blanket mortgage holder; and (2) the insertion of language permitting certain encumbrances within the easement area subject to FPL’s agreement to be responsible for damages to and liabilities arising from the encumbrances, except when caused by the County’s negligence to willful actions. The second change is similar to language that would normally be contained in WUD’s standard Indemnity Agreement, but FPL requested that it be included as part of the grant of easement.

Staff recommends motion to authorize: increase in previously authorized amount for a “Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement (At Utility Expense)” (UWHCA) with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in the amount of $317,459.80 SUMMARY: FDOT is proposing improvements to State Road 80 (Southern Blvd) from LWDD L-8 Canal to Forest Hill Blvd/Crestwood Blvd. These improvements will necessitate the relocation/adjustment of 21 fire hydrants, the replacement and adjustment of 65 water and sewer valve boxes to final grade, the relocation of over 2,000 linear feet of 12-inch water main and finally the relocation of over 300 linear feet of force main with all the appurtenances thereof owned and maintained by the Water Utilities Department (WUD) in order to include the adjustment and relocation of the afore-mentioned facilities within the road improvement project. On February 7, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners approved a UWHCA to reimburse FDOT for the required work in the amount of $419,053.32 (R2017-0177). The initial estimated cost for the project was based on an initial design estimate that was prepared for the project by FDOT. Per the terms of the UWHCA, FDOT subsequently provided an updated official project estimate in the amount of $736,513.12 based on the finding that the initial design estimate did not include the entirety of the areas of conflict that require utility relocation.

Replacement.
SUMMARY: Both the Ocean Inlet Park & Marina Renovation and Expansion and the
Veterans Park Irrigation Well Replacement projects were originally scheduled to
start in future years as part of the IST Project Plan approved by the

given the current state of the seawall at Ocean Inlet Park and failure of the
irrigation well at Veterans Memorial Park, both of these projects now need to
start this FY rather than awaiting their originally scheduled funding in FY
2021 and FY 2023, respectively. The Veterans Memorial Park irrigation well
replacement can be funded using $50,000 of the $60,000 of IST proceeds budgeted
for FY 2018 that were slated for the Dubois Park Pedestrian Bridge Deck
Replacement project in unincorporated Jupiter, which has been completed
entirely through grant funding received from the South Florida Water Management

Production Services Agreement form. SUMMARY: On April 7, 2009, the Board of County Commissioners
(Board) approved Resolution 2009-0592, as amended by Resolutions 2010-0645,
2014-0167, and 2017-1368 delegating authority to execute a standard Sound and
Light Production Services Contractor Agreement form on behalf of the County to
the County Administrator and the Director and Assistant Director of Parks and
Recreation. The Parks and Recreation Department regularly hosts special events
at its facilities that include entertainment in the form of dancers, musicians
and specialty performers. Each form of
entertainment requires a varying degree of unique production services. The use of contractual sound and light
production services has been a standard industry practice in the field of Parks
and Recreation. Whenever possible, staff will issue a request for services in
order to create competition and better pricing and to secure the most qualified
contractor for sound and light production. Such qualifications include, but are
not limited to, experience in their area of professional expertise and recent
professional references. This Resolution amends Resolution 2017-1368, by
revising the standard Sound and Light Production Services Contractor Agreement
form to remove language requiring the contractor to obtain licenses and permits
required by Copyright Regulations of Title 17 of the United States Code, which
is not necessary for this agreement, and to update the non-discrimination
language. Countywide (AH)

1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida, recommending approval of Project Cane, a company authorized to do
business in the State of Florida, as a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) business
pursuant to s.288.106, Florida Statutes; providing for local financial support
for the Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund Program not to exceed $54,000;
repealing and replacing Resolution 2017-1705; providing for severability; and,
providing for an effective date; and
B) conceptually approve
Economic Development Incentive for Project Cane in the form of a cash incentive over eight years, in an amount
not to exceed $54,000.
SUMMARY: On November 7, 2017, the Board of County
Commissioners adopted Resolution R2017-1705 recommending approval of an
economic incentive to Project Cane in an amount not to exceed $64,800. The
incentive amount was calculated based on the creation of 108 new jobs with an
annual average wage of $75,987 which is 150% of the average wage in the State
of Florida. However, the average wage
was recalculated to exclude executive salaries for existing jobs. Revised salary calculations including only
the 108 new jobs, reduces the annual average wage to $58,257 which is 115% of
the average wage in the State of Florida.
As a result, the incentive award, including the state award and required
local match, is reduced from $648,000 to $540,000. Project Cane, a provider of information technology consulting services, is
contemplating expanding its corporate headquarters in Palm Beach County or
moving to Georgia, Tennessee or North Carolina.
The project will invest $200,000 to equip a 7,500 square foot facility
and create 108 new jobs over a five year period at an annualized average wage
of $58,257. The project also will retain
16 existing jobs. The estimated five
year local economic impact is $79,500,000. The business qualifies for the
Qualified Target Industry (QTI) Tax Refund program which continues to be funded
by the Florida Legislature. The Company
is being offered a $540,000 incentive.
Of this amount, $432,000 is from the State of Florida and $108,000 is a
required match from local government entities.
Palm Beach County and the Town of Lake Park will equally share the
required local match. The Palm Beach
County portion of the local match will be provided as a cash grant in an amount
not to exceed $54,000. The incentive
will be provided over a period of eight years provided the project meets the
State of Florida requirements. The Palm
Beach County grant will be paid according to the State’s QTI Refund Schedule,
and will be secured by a letter of credit or bond. The
Company will be required to enter into a formal agreement memorializing their
commitments and establishing terms under which the local match will be
disbursed. The company name will be
disclosed at such time. District 1 (JB)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on
March 13, 2018 at 9:30 a.m.: Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
amending Chapter 17, Article V of the Palm Beach County Code (Ordinance
1999-018, amended by Ordinance No. 2008-059) concerning work identification
cards for individuals performing in adult entertainment establishments; amending
Section 17-147(31) (definitions); amending Section 17-153(c) (application for
work identification card); amending Section 17-153(e)
(fees); amending Section 17-153(g) (retention of performer roster and work
identification card); amending Section
17-153(k) (requirement of managers, owners and operators to verify work
identification cards of performers); amending Section 17-153(n) (violation
subject to civil prosecution); providing
for Section 17-153(o) (violations subject to all legal remedies); providing for
inclusion in the code enforcement citation ordinance of Palm Beach County, Florida;
providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for a savings clause;
providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and
ordinances; providing for captions; and providing for an effective date. Summary: Section 17-153 of the Adult Entertainment
Ordinance requires performers in adult entertainment establishments to apply
for work identification (ID) cards from the Public Safety Department and show
proof that they are at least 18 years old.
This proposed amendment to the ordinance will establish a renewal period
of two years for the work ID card to protect the vulnerable children and young
adults. The current work ID card is
valid for a lifetime. Additionally, each
adult entertainment establishment will be required to retain a complete
performer roster for a period of 30 days and copy of the performers work ID for
two years. Furthermore, the violation
sections were modified to include additional legal actions by the county for
violations to the Ordinance. The current ordinance provides that fees for work
identification cards be established by Board resolution. An amended resolution will accompany the
final adoption of the ordinance on March 13, 2018. The amended resolution will propose an
increase to the fees for a new work ID from $75 to $100 and for a duplicate
copy from $25 to $30. The current fees set in 2008 have not generated enough
revenue to offset the cost of the department to administer the program. Approximately 700 applications are processed
annually. The cost of the program is approximately $81,000 per year, which
includes personnel costs, identification card equipment and supplies, and other
administrative costs. The proposed
amendment to the Adult Entertainer Ordinance was presented to the League of
Cities on January 24, 2018 and was unanimously approved. Countywide

funding from the approved allocation for implementation of the Palm Beach
County Opioid Crisis Response Plan.
Continuation of such contracts beyond the current fiscal year would be
subject to an appropriation for this purpose in the FY 2019 budget.
SUMMARY: These approvals will allow staff to develop
agreement(s) for the continue to work with the Health Care District of
Palm Beach County and others to establishment of an addiction
treatment facility on currently vacant County property within Palm
Beach County and to expand substance abuse treatment capacity at community
facilities on an emergency basis.
The addition stabilization facility will include two major
components designed to stabilize a patient’s addiction and avoid relapse. The
first component is a 14-bed, 24/7 addiction emergency room (AER). Patients who have overdosed may be directly
transported by Fire Rescue to the AER.
Additionally, patients may be self-referred or transferred from other
emergency rooms. At this facility, patients will receive complete medical
assessment and treatment, psychosocial and psychiatric assessment, peer
counseling, and navigation services. At the same location, an outpatient MAT
Continuation Clinic will provide similar psychosocial and psychiatric
assessments, medication assisted treatment, individual and group therapy,
pharmacy, and primary care services for conditions including HIV, Hep-C,
etc. The combined facilities will serve
as a centralized hub and a model facility for addiction assessment, treatment and
referral to community network facilities.
The emergency services being recommended will include additional
inpatient treatment beds and expanded capacity for medication assisted
treatment on an inpatient and outpatient basis. Ancillary services
including transitional beds and permanent housing navigation may be co-located
at the facility and may require an additional provider and a co-located county
staff position subject to future Board approval. Recommendations from the Southeast Florida
Behavioral Health Council related to the expansion of treatment capacity at
existing community provider facilities, and enhancements to prevention and
education programs are also being pursued and will be presented on a later
date. The anticipated term of the interlocal agreement is five years. Countywide

5. REGULAR AGENDA
D. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT
& OPERATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Second
Amendment to Concessionaire Service Agreement (CSA) (R2014-0865) dated June 3,
2014, with Little Deeper Charters, Inc. (LDC), for the continued management and
operation of a multi service concession at Phil Foster Park located in Riviera
Beach for a minimum guaranteed annual revenue of $28,121.64. SUMMARY: LDC has operated the concession service at
Phil Foster Park under this current CSA since November 2014. LDC provides water sports rentals,
prepackaged food, beverage and sundry services, at various locations within the
Park, and a vending area within the building.
The initial term of the CSA ran through November 3, 2017, but LDC has an
option to extend for two years and provided notice of exercise of its option
prior to expiration of the CSA. However,
Parks and Recreation has not been completely satisfied with LDC’s performance
and level of services provided and wants to re-evaluate the types of concession
services being offered at Phil Foster Park due to changing trends in consumer
demand. Parks also plans to analyze the
volume of recreational use of the waters around the Park and its impact on
marine natural resources. The Board has
the discretionary authority to terminate the CSA, but Parks wants LDC to
continue providing concession services while Parks re-evaluates the concession
services it desires to have provided at the Park and issues a new RFP for those
services. This Second Amendment shortens
the term of the CSA for a period of one year from November 4, 2017, deletes all
renewal options, and updates various standard County provisions. The Guaranteed Annual Rent will be increased
by four percent (4%) from $27,040.00/year ($2,253.33/monthly) to
$28,121.60/year ($2,343.47/monthly). All other terms and conditions of the CSA
shall remain in full force and effect.
Parks will continue to have administrative responsibility for this CSA.
