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Commission on the Status of Women, which was created by enactment of Ordinance No. 73-9 on June 29, 1973 and ultimately repealed by Ordinance Number 95-27 in July of 1995.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.

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.  Countywide (HH) (Admin)

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.

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.

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.

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.

A) Amendment to the Infrastructure Surtax (IST) Project Plan approved by the Board of County Commissioners on April 4, 2017; and

 

B) budget transfer of $2,610,000 within the IST Fund to transfer $2,500,000 within the IST Fund to partially fund the Ocean Inlet Park & Marina Renovation and Expansion project, $60,000 within the IST Fund from the Dubois Park Pedestrian Bridge Deck Replacement Project to IST Department Reserves; and $50,000 within the IST Fund to establish budget for Veterans Memorial Park Irrigation Well 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 Board.  Due to public safety concerns 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 District. The Sales Tax Oversight Committee is scheduled to review these requests at their January 18, 2018 meeting.  If the requests are not favorably acted upon by the Committee on that date, the requests will be postponed to a future agenda.

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)

A.        HOUSING AND ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

 

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.

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.

C.         ADMINISTRATION

 

1.         Staff recommends a motion to:

 

A) approve exception to Resolution No. 2013-0193, Section 11, which restricts the number of members on a board to a maximum of 11; and

 

B) adopt Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, creating the Palm Beach County Advisory Commission on Women; providing for a purpose; providing for composition, membership, and authority; providing for procedures for meetings; providing for member responsibilities; providing an effective date.

 

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 approval adoption of the Resolution creating and establishing a fifteen member advisory commission, to be known as the Palm Beach County Advisory Commission on Women. Countywide (DO)

 

2.         REVISED MOTION & SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to: 

 

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 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 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 (HH)

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. (PREM) District 7 (HJF)
