1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a waiver to the third criterion of Article 13 of the Unified Land Development Code (Article 13) to allow an impact fee credit of $2,006,532.88, for the improvements to be made by FCI Residential Corporation (Developer) to the intersection of Camino Real and South Dixie Highway (Camino Real improvements). SUMMARY: The Developer has requested an impact fee credit for the Camino Real improvements. Article 13 details criteria for impact fee credits. Impact fee credits for roadway improvements that are not required for Palm Beach County’s (County) Traffic Performance Standards (TPS) require the Board of County Commissioners approval. The Camino Real improvements relate to the proposed Camino Square redevelopment project. Camino Square is a mixed-use redevelopment project that will replace an existing shopping center with apartments and retail at the northeast corner of Camino Real and SW 3rd Avenue within the City of Boca Raton’s (City) Downtown Development of Regional Impact. The Developer, in consultation with the City and the County, is proposing to construct a second eastbound left turn lane and add a new eastbound right turn lane on the west approach of the intersection. The Camino Real improvements are not required to meet TPS. Staff recommends the third criterion should be waived, as the Camino Real improvements will improve the capacity of an intersection on the County’s major road network. District 4 (LB)

 

 

C.        ADMINISTRATION

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: a resolution of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) of Palm Beach County, Florida, urging the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) to set meaningful demand-side management energy conservation goals for utilities under the Florida Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (FEECA).SUMMARY: On July 2, 2019, the BCC directed staff to draft a resolution encouraging the PSC to set meaningful utility demand-side management energy conservation goals. In 1980, Florida enacted FEECA to reduce the growth rates of weather-sensitive peak demand and electricity usage, increase the efficiency of electricity and natural gas consumption, encourage demand-side renewable energy systems, and conserve expensive fuels. The PSC is required to establish efficiency goals for FEECA utilities every five years, and is currently in this process. By establishing meaningful energy efficiency goals, the PSC can help lead efforts to decrease electrical consumption, with economic benefits to customers. Additionally, increased energy efficiency will decrease greenhouse gas emissions associated with electrical generation, providing an environmental benefit. Countywide (RPB)

D.        PARKS AND RECREATION

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  an agreement effective upon execution with West Jupiter Community Group, Inc. for the use of West Jupiter Park and Recreation Center for the implementation of out of school time programs for youth. SUMMARY:  The West Jupiter Community Group, Inc. is a 501c3 organization that has provided out of school services in the West Jupiter community since 1986, similar to the out of school services offered by the County’s Parks and Recreation Department. The West Jupiter Community Group and the Parks and Recreation Department have collaborated for more than 25 years on youth special events and out of school time youth program enrichment activities. This agreement benefits the public and both organizations by minimizing the duplication of out of school time services in the West Jupiter area and allowing for the expansion of recreation services for youth in other areas of the County. The agreement allows the West Jupiter Community Group, Inc. to utilize County parks facilities to offer youth out of school program services, while also allowing the Parks and Recreation Department to reassign staffing resources to unmet needs including recreation programming in the Glades Region of the County.  The West Jupiter Community Group, Inc. shall be responsible for all operating expenses associated with the out of school time programs.  The County shall allow the use of the facilities as well as custodial services and utilities. The term of this agreement is for one year effective on the date of execution and shall be automatically renewed up to four additional consecutive one year terms, unless either party provides a written notice of intent to terminate the agreement to the other party 30 days in advance. District 1 (AH)

 

 

E.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  an Assignment of Annual Environmental Assessment Contract (R2015-1255) and Annual Asbestos Consulting Contract (R2017-0413) from Eco Advisors, LLC, to Partner Assessment Corporation d/b/a Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. (Partner Assessment Corporation). SUMMARY:  Eco Advisors, LLC, requested that Palm Beach County accept an assignment of these contracts to Partner Assessment Corporation.  Partner Assessment Corporation has purchased Eco Advisors, LLC, and will assume these contracts from Eco Advisors, LLC.  The management team and staff of Eco Advisors, LLC, has joined Partner Assessment Corporation.  As professional services are still necessary for completion of the contract, the assignment of this agreement to Partner Assessment Corporation will provide for continuation of these services. Staff recommends assignment of these contracts from Eco Advisors, LLC, to Partner Assessment Corporation. (FDO Admin) Countywide (LDC)

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 2 to the contract with Lebolo Construction Management, Inc. (R2018-1161) in the amount of $385,623 for the Bridgeman Park project located in unincorporated Palm Beach County, establishing a Guaranteed Maximum Price for construction management services for a period of 205 calendar days from the notice to proceed. SUMMARY: Amendment No. 2 authorizes construction management services for the proposed Bridgeman Park, located at 1475 N. Florida Mango Road.  The proposed park is located in an underserved area of central Palm Beach County.  The nearest neighborhood park is approximately two miles away using main roads.  Neighborhood residents do not have a safe place to play within a reasonable walking distance. The project will primarily serve residents living within a half-mile radius of the park.  The general service area is south of Okeechobee Boulevard, east of Congress Avenue, north of Belvedere Road and west of Australian Avenue.  The site is located within the Westgate CRA overlay and will provide recreational amenities that serve a variety of user groups within the surrounding community. Funding for this project has been provided by Department of Housing & Economic Sustainability (DHES) under a grant from Housing & Urban Development to the County through the Community Development Block Grant Program and Infrastructure Sales Tax (IST) funds. A Memorandum of Understanding has been entered into between DHES, Parks and Recreation Department and Facilities Development & Operations Department in order to complete the project. The work was competitively solicited by Lebolo Construction Management, Inc. utilizing the Federal Requirements provided by DHES.  This project has a 22.4% minority and 6.9% female participation goal established. Lebolo Construction Management, Inc. minority participation for this amendment is a total of 51% including 28% female participation. Lebolo Construction Management, Inc. is a Palm Beach County business. (Capital Improvements Division) District 2 (LDC)

These five contractors now join the list of seven already prequalified contractors for a total of 12 with a contract expiration date of June 18, 2023.  Firms may become pre-qualified and join the bidding pool at any time during the term. These are indefinite-quantity contracts with a cumulative maximum value of $1,000,000 across all pre-qualified contractors. The work consists of new or repair services of asphalt, paving and pathway construction.  Work is to be awarded as work orders on a lump sum, competitively quoted basis among the pool of 12 pre-qualified contractors.  Since the beginning of these annual contracts, the County awarded $425,957 in work orders.  These annual contracts were presented to the Goal Setting Committee on January 2, 2019 and the Committee established an Affirmative Procurement Initiative of Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Sheltered Market for work orders under $100,000 and SBE Price Preference.  SBE actual participation will be identified on each work order, and will be tracked cumulatively for each work order issued.  Current cumulative SBE participation for all work orders to-date is 91.32%.

SUMMARY:  On June 19, 2018, the Board approved the annual asphalt, paving and pathway contract with seven contractors participating.  Work is awarded as work orders on a lump sum, competitively quoted basis among the pool of pre-qualified asphalt contractors.  Beginning on January 1, 2019, the County began implementing the requirements of the new Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Ordinance. For annual construction contracts, these requirements are implemented through including the requirements in each and every work order. These amendments will incorporate those EBO requirements in the contract so that the work orders can be streamlined and ensure all contractors participating in this contract (five more contracts added today) are responding to the same work order package.  This will also make it easier for contractors to respond and for staff to prepare projects for advertisement, both reducing errors by contractors and staff.  These amendments also early implement the renewal option of these contractors through June 18, 2023, so that the terms of all 12 contractors are the same.  During the first year of the contracts, the County awarded $425,957 in work orders.  The Goal Setting Committee set an Affirmative Procurement Initiative (API) as Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Sheltered Market for work orders under $100,000 and a SBE Price Preference.  The cumulative SBE participation for all work orders to-date is 91.32%. Projects are bid among the pre-qualified participants.  Firms may become pre-qualified and join the bidding pool at any time during the term.  (Capital Improvements) Countywide (LDC)

These five contractors now join the list of six already prequalified contractors for a total of 11 with a contract expiration date of April 9, 2023.  Firms may become pre-qualified and join the bidding pool at any time during the term.  These are indefinite-quantity contracts with a cumulative maximum value of $1,000,000 across all pre-qualified contractors.  Work is to be awarded as work orders on a lump sum, competitively quoted basis among the pool of 11 pre-qualified contractors.  Since the beginning of these annual contracts, the County awarded $279,000 in work orders. These annual contracts were presented to the Goal Setting Committee on January 2, 2019 and the Committee established an Affirmative Procurement Initiative (API) of Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Sheltered Market when there are more than four SBE contractors under this contract for work orders under $100,000 and SBE Price Preference. SBE actual participation will be identified on each work order, and will be tracked cumulatively for each work order issued.  Current cumulative SBE participation for all work orders to-date is 46.59%.

SUMMARY:  On April 10, 2018, the Board approved the annual painting and weatherproofing contract with five contractors participating.  Work is awarded as work orders on a lump sum, competitively quoted basis among the pool of pre-qualified painting contractors.  Beginning on January 1, 2019, the County began implementing the requirements of the new Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Ordinance. For annual construction contracts, these requirements are implemented through including the requirements in each and every work order. These amendments will incorporate those EBO requirements in the contract so that the work orders can be streamlined and ensure all contractors participating in this contract (five more contracts added today) are responding to the same work order package.  This will also make it easier for contractors to respond and for staff to prepare projects for advertisement, both reducing errors by contractors and staff.  These amendments also early implement the renewal option of these contractors through April 9, 2023, so that the terms of all 11 contractors are the same.  During the term of the contracts, the County awarded $279,000 in work orders. The Goal Setting Committee set an Affirmative Procurement Initiative as Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Sheltered Market when there are more than four SBE contractors under this contract for work orders under $100,000 and a SBE Price Preference. The cumulative SBE participation for all work orders to-date is 46.59%.  Projects are bid among the pre-qualified participants.  Firms may become pre-qualified and join the bidding pool at any time during the term.
