SUMMARY: Per Section 154.207, Florida Statutes and Resolution Nos. R77-379, R77-398 and R92-563, the Health Facilities Authority (HFA) is composed of five members appointed at-large by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC).  A memo dated October 2, 2020 was circulated to the BCC notifying the Board of these two appointments and requesting their support or asking for additional nominations. No additional nominations have been received. The HFA’s current diversity is four Caucasian (80%) and one African-American (20%). The gender ratio male:female is 3:2. Staff is continuously working towards increased diversity. Countywide (HH)

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment #1 to Interlocal Agreement R2020-0507 with the Health Care District of Palm Beach County (Health Care District) relating to the COVID-19 medical response, adjusting authorized expenses within the previously approved not to exceed contract amount of $500,000, to provide enhanced mobile medical response related to COVID-19. SUMMARY:  The Health Care District has been an integral and critical partner in Palm Beach County’s COVID-19 response efforts.  They are currently providing testing services at six locations in Palm Beach County including the FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, the South County Civic Center, Lakeside Hospital, and three clinic locations. They are also working with County staff, the Palm Beach County Health Department and others in the development of a COVID-19 vaccination plan. Under the terms of Agreement R2020-0507, the Health Care District is expanding their testing services through the use of mobile health units that target underserved neighborhoods and communities where additional testing and future vaccination services will be needed. The primary COVID-19 response vehicle funded under the agreement, a mobile health coach, was delivered in September of this year and is now in service. This amendment will allow for the purchase of a second smaller vehicle that is currently under lease. The County is providing funding to the Health Care District on a reimbursement basis in an amount not to exceed $500,000 from its Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act allocation. This amount is unchanged by this amendment. The expenditures must be completed by December 30, 2020. Countywide (HH)

3.         CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL

 

C.        ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) Amendment No. 1 to the annual small paving and minor construction contract, dated December 3, 2019 with R & D Paving, LLC (RDP) (R2019-1833), to extend the expiration date from December 2, 2020 to December 2, 2021 and increase the contract by $2,000,000, from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000;

 

B) Amendment No. 1 to the annual small paving and minor construction contract, dated December 3, 2019 with Hinterland Group, Inc. (HGI) (R2019-1834), to extend the expiration date from December 2, 2020 to December 2, 2022; and

 

C) Amendment No. 1 to the annual small paving and minor construction contract, dated December 3, 2019 with Saffold Paving, Inc. (SPI) (R2019-1835), to extend the expiration date from December 2, 2020 to December 2, 2022.

 

SUMMARY:  Approval of HGI’s and SPI’s amendments will extend the expiration dates from December 2, 2020 to December 2, 2022. Approval of RDP’s amendment will increase the contract amount from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 and extend the expiration dates from December 2, 2020 to December 2, 2021. The increased contract amount for RDP is based on updated estimates that exceed the current contract amount to be expended throughout Palm Beach County by the user departments.

A) receive and file Amendment No. 1 to Project Award Notification No. 760-4050B-0CFJ1 from  the Florida Department of Education (FDOE), for the budget period July 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020, to decrease funding award in the amount of $63,764 in Grant Year (GY) 2019, for a new not-to-exceed amount of $161,379;

 

B) ratify the signature of the Mayor on the GY 2020 FDOE Project Application, for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, in an amount not-to-exceed $227,349 for the Farmworker Career Development Program (FWCDP) under Title I, Section 167 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to provide education and supportive services to farmworkers and their dependents;

 

C) receive and file Project Award Notification No. 760-4051B-1CFJ1 from the FDOE, for the budget period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, in an amount not-to-exceed $227,349, to provide career counseling, vocational training, job placement assistance and support services to eligible migrant/seasonal farmworkers and their dependents; and

 

D) approve a budget amendment of $102,031 in FY 2020 in the Farmworker Jobs/Education Program fund to align the budget to the actual award.

 

SUMMARY: Amendment No. 1 to Project Award Notification 760-4050B-0CFJ1, for the budget period July 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020, decreased the total grant award for Grant Year (GY) 2019 by $63,764 for a new total grant award of $161,379. The GY 2019 FDOE Project Application (R2019-0938) was approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on July 2, 2019. The decrease to the GY 2019 award is due to changes in the migrant/seasonal farm work in the State of Florida (State). The Florida Department of Education reallocated funding to areas with larger number of farmworkers who would benefit from the program. The FWCDP received instructions to submit the GY 2020 grant application. The FWCDP provides vocational training, educational and support services to migrant/seasonal farmworkers and their dependents to obtain economic self-sufficiency through permanent and stable employment outside of farm work. The FWCDP has served residents for over 40 years in Palm Beach County with an emphasis in the Tri-City Glades, as well as the City of Clewiston in Hendry County, as the migrant seasonal farmworker population is often in transit from one county to another due to seasonal crops. In GY 2017-2019, the FWCDP served a total of 162 clients enrolled in the support services and training programs, with 55 clients obtaining permanent employment in the medical, commercial truck driving, security and construction fields. In GY 2019, 67% of participants obtained permanent jobs outside of farm work. The emergency signature process was utilized because there was not sufficient time to submit the application through the regular BCC agenda process. Project Award Notification No. 760-4051B-1CFJ1 for GY 2020 was received from the FDOE issuing a grant award of $227,349. Under the new grant, FWCDP will serve 89 program participants with training and support services. In accordance with County PPM CW-O-051, all delegated contracts, agreements and grants must be submitted by the initiating Department as a receive and file agenda item. No County funds are required.

10.       Staff recommends motion to approve: an update to Palm Beach County’s Behavioral Health Transportation Plan (Plan) to organize a centralized system of acute care services for persons in crisis pursuant to § 394.462, F.S. SUMMARY: The Board of County Commissioners approved the Plan on June 6, 2017, as required by § 394.462, F.S.  The statute states, in part, “A transportation plan shall be developed and implemented by each county in collaboration with the managing entity.” The Plan describes methods of transport to facilities within the designated receiving system for individuals subject to involuntary examination (pursuant to the Baker and Marchman Acts for involuntary commitment of persons in mental health and substance abuse crises). The Plan was developed by the Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network (SEFBHN) in collaboration with the County, and received community input from the Department of Community Services, the Palm Beach County Public Safety Coordinating Council, the Baker Act Task Force and the Law Enforcement Planning Council. The Plan is required to be updated every three years, and this item represents the first update to the Plan since its 2017 inception. Corresponding programs funded through the County’s Financially Assisted Agencies program have been, and will continue to be, aligned with the Plan. The Plan requires approval by SEFBHN, the Board of County Commissioners, and the Florida Department of Children and Families. Countywide (HH)

A) Change Order No. 6 to the contract with Ranger Construction Industries, Inc. in the amount of $38,239.78 and 31 calendar days for the Northeast Airfield Improvements project at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI); and

 

B) a budget transfer of $38,240 in the Airport’s Improvement and Development Fund to provide budget for the project, including a reclass from Reserves in the amount of $38,240.

 

SUMMARY: The contract with Ranger Construction Industries Inc. for the Northeast Airfield Improvements project at PBI in the amount of $28,745,719.87 and 787 calendar days was approved by the Board on June 18, 2019 (R2019-0840).

5.         Staff recommends motion to receive and file: the Twelfth Amendment (Amendment) to Lease and Concession Agreement (Agreement) with Host International, Inc. (Host) (R98-1293D, as amended), providing for reconciliation of concession payments on a year-to-date basis, and updating standard form provisions, pursuant to delegation of authority approved by the Board on May 5, 2020 (R2020-0527). SUMMARY:  Under the Agreement, Host pays the greater of a percentage of gross revenues, or the minimum annual guarantee (MAG).  Payments are submitted monthly and reconciled annually.  Host has historically received a credit each year for amounts paid in-excess of what is actually due, because of seasonal variations that resulted in high percentage payments in the first half of each fiscal year, when passenger traffic is typically highest. Beginning in March 2020, passenger traffic at the Palm Beach International Airport declined substantially as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in severe declines in Host’s gross revenues. Prior to this decline, Host had paid substantially more in year-to-date percentage payments than the year-to-date MAG that was due. The Amendment adjusts the method of reconciliation, allowing Host to receive credit for payments made in excess of the MAG prior to the pandemic. The Amendment does not change the MAG, or defer rent or other charges. The Amendment also updates standard form provisions. Countywide (AH)

The Palm Beach County Health Department has mandated that the Water Utilities Department add shade structures over all of the Sodium Hypochlorite tanks at five water treatment plants throughout Palm Beach County in accordance with section 5.4.4.a.2 of the Recommended Standards for Water Works. These standards dictate that sodium hypochlorite storage containers shall be located out of the sunlight in a cool area and vented to the outside. Amendment No. 6 authorizes installation of shade structures which will allow access to the top of the tanks for maintenance and  refilling of the tanks at each site and that can withstand hurricane force winds of 120 MPH. The installation of the shade structures ensures that the correct percentage of chlorine in each tank is maintained at the required percentage for the treatment of potable water. The continuing CM contract was awarded pursuant to the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) ordinance but this GMP, having been initiated after January 1, 2019, is subject to the requirements of the Equal Business Opportunity ordinance.

3.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve a Partial Assignment of Easement Agreement for Dune Restoration with the Town of Jupiter Island (Town) for seven easements located within the Coral Cove Dune Restoration Project area, effective upon execution up execution and for the term of 10 to 50 years; and

 

B) authorize the County Administrator or designee to sign all future time extensions, certifications, and other forms associated with the Partial Assignments, and any necessary minor amendments that do not substantially change the scope of work, terms, or conditions of the Partial Assignments.

 

SUMMARY: The Town is scheduled to conduct a dune restoration project within the Martin County limits immediately north of the Coral Cove Dune Restoration Project area. Construction equipment access to the Town’s project area is not possible from the north through Blowing Rocks Preserve, therefore the Town’s only other option is to access the area from Coral Cove Park.  These seven Partial Assignments will grant the Town the same access rights across the privately-owned sandy beach that are granted to the County by the Easement Agreements for Dune Restoration approved by the Board on October 6, 2020. The County will still continue to retain said access rights. Due to natural movement of sand from north to south, any updrift sand placement is expected to benefit County beaches over the long term. There is no cost to the County.  District 1 (SS)

 

4.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) Contract No. 2020ERM03 (Contract) with Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company, LLC in the amount of $21,182,985 providing construction services for the North County Comprehensive Shore Protection Project (Project) for a term beginning upon execution and expiring on April 30, 2022; and

SUMMARY:  In support of the OVC FY 2019 Direct Services to Support Victims of Human Trafficking (2019-VT-BX-K029) the Division of Victim Services entered into a contract with CCDPB for consulting/professional services for the period April 7, 2020 through September 30, 2020.

These type of expenses are billed from the vendors directly to CCDPB.  CCDPB will continue to provide comprehensive case management services and immigration/ refugee legal services, community awareness, and education including outreach in the rural, agricultural region of Palm Beach County. Per grant guidelines, certain expenditures such as travel, training, and work product require approval from the DOJ OVC grant manager. The approval process is facilitated by drafting a Grant Adjustment Notice and submitting it through OVC’s grant management web portal.

The Program is updated each year to reflect changing legislation, opportunities, and priorities. Since the County’s Federal Agenda is released biannually it is not otherwise scheduled to be updated this year.

C.        PALM TRAN

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: 

 

A) the Labor Management Agreement (LMA) between Palm Tran, Inc. and the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, as joint employer, and the Service Employees International Union, Florida Public Services Union, CtW, CLC (SEIU) representing 40 regular full-time, non-professional, supervisory employees of Palm Tran, Inc. for the three year period of October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2023; and

 

B) a Letter of Understanding between Palm Tran, Inc. and SEIU granting COVID-19 related compensatory time for time worked during the pay periods between April 1, 2020 and May 18, 2020.

 

SUMMARY: In June 2020, Palm Tran began contract negotiations with SEIU for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of employment for 40 Palm Tran employees (30 Operations Supervisors and 10 Maintenance Supervisors).  On September 23, 2020, Palm Tran and SEIU tentatively agreed to the terms and conditions of the LMA.  The Agreement was ratified by SEIU on October 9, 2020.  Of the 40 Articles included in the LMA, 18 were amended during the negotiation process.  In general, changes to the non-economic work rules will allow for increased efficiency and effectiveness of operations. The negotiated wage article established fair wages by effectively addressing wage compression between supervisors and their direct subordinate staff. The new wage article addresses compression by allowing operation supervisors to be paid three quarters of one percentage point above the top wage bus operators and one half of one percentage point above the maintenance technicians. Additionally, the negotiated wage article addresses years of service compression that exists among Operations Supervisors. The amended wage article provides the following:

 

Operation Supervisors who have more than 20 years of service as of October 1, 2020, will receive 1.00% increase for Fiscal Year 2021, 1.00% increase for Fiscal Year 2022 and 1.00% increase for Fiscal Year 2023.

 

Operation Supervisors who have more than 10 but less than 20 years of service as of October 1, 2020, will receive 2.50% increase for Fiscal Year 2021, 1.75% increase for Fiscal Year 2022 and 2.50% increase for Fiscal Year 2023.

 

Operation Supervisors who have more than 5 but less than 10 years of service as of October 1, 2020, will receive 2.00% increase for Fiscal Year 2021, 1.25% increase for Fiscal Year 2022 and 1.50% increase for Fiscal Year 2023.

 

Operation Supervisors who have 1 to 5 years of service as of October 1, 2020, will receive 2.00% increase for Fiscal Year 2021, .50 % increase for Fiscal Year 2022 and .50% increase for Fiscal Year 2023.

 

Operation Supervisors who have less than 1 year of service as of October 1, 2020, will make the minimum starting rate in Fiscal Year 2021, Fiscal Year 2022 and Fiscal Year 2023.

 

Maintenance Supervisors will receive 4.50% increase for Fiscal Year 2021, 2.00% increase for Fiscal Year 2022 and .75% increase for Fiscal Year 2023.

 

This represents a wage increase over the term of the agreement of $119,371, an increase of shift differential and training pay of $18,026 and an increase in uniforms of $12,000 for a total increase of $149,397. In addition to the articles of the new Labor Management Agreement, the negotiation committees for Palm Tran and the SEIU concluded negotiations and a Letter of Understanding to recognize the extraordinary service of Palm Tran’s SEIU employees during the unprecedented COVID-19 global pandemic.  As agreed to in the Letter of Understanding, employees who maintained a physical presence in the workplace and worked 80% or more of their bi-weekly schedule will be granted 1 day (8 hours) of compensatory time per the designated pay periods. Any hours of compensatory time not used will be paid to the employee during the pay period in which December 31, 2020 falls. The proposed Letter of Understanding, incorporating all agreed upon terms, was ratified by the bargaining unit as a combined package Labor Management Agreement on October 9, 2020.

B) a budget transfer of $22,500 from the General Fund Contingency Reserves to the Economic Development Incentives Fund; and

 

C) a budget amendment of $22,500 in the Economic Development Incentives Fund to recognize the funds from the General Fund.

 

SUMMARY: Staff is recommending approval of an Economic Development Incentive Agreement with MPLT Healthcare, LLC. On January 7, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) conceptually approved an Economic Development Incentive (Incentive) for the Company totaling $22,500.  This Agreement discloses the name of the Company, MPLT Healthcare, LLC, previously referred to as Project Doctor. The Company provides healthcare staffing for hospitals, clinics, and medical practices nationwide. The Agreement requires the Company to make a minimum capital investment of $1.53 million to lease, renovate, and equip a 23,000 sf facility. The Company shall create 75 new jobs over a three year period. These new jobs must have an annualized average wage of $60,657 excluding benefits and a median wage of $50,000 excluding benefits. The Company is required to maintain the new jobs for three years from the Agreement effective date. The five year economic impact is estimated at $42.9 million.  The Agreement requires a performance security in the form of either a clean, irrevocable Letter of Credit or Cash Bond equal to the full amount of the maximum Incentive to be awarded to the Company.  In addition, Part X, Section 29 of the Agreement provides delegated authority to the Director of Housing and Economic Sustainability to exercise the County’s rights under the Agreement, including, but not limited to, the power to send written notices of default or termination. The State of Florida approved a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) tax refund for the Company in the amount of $225,000. Of this amount, $180,000 is from the State of Florida and $45,000 is a required match from local government entities. The Company and the State are entering into an agreement for the QTI tax refund. The required $45,000 match to the QTI tax refund will be split equally between Palm Beach County ($22,500) and the City of Boca Raton ($22,500).  The County match will be provided in the form of a cash grant in an amount not to exceed $22,500 over a six year period provided the project meets the requirements under Section 288.106, Florida Statute.

2.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Resolution No. R2020-0711 which authorized the issuance of one or more series of Revenue Bonds (Caron of Florida, Inc. Project), Series 2020, in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $52,803,000, for the purpose of making a loan of funds to Caron of Florida, Inc. in order to finance the costs of a project on behalf of Caron of Florida, Inc.; amending such Resolution to provide for the issuance of such Bonds pursuant to the provisions of a Loan and Security Agreement among the County, Caron of Florida, Inc. and the Purchaser of such Bonds; approving and authorizing the execution and delivery of such Loan and Security Agreement; approving and authorizing the execution and delivery of certain other documents required in connection with the foregoing; and providing certain other details in connection therewith. SUMMARY: On June 16, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a resolution authorizing the issuance of the Caron of Florida, Inc. Project Revenue Bonds (R2020-0711). The resolution anticipated the use of a Trust Indenture to facilitate the bond purchase and sale transaction.  Subsequently, counsel determined that a Loan and Security Agreement would be used instead.  Since R2020-0711 specifically referenced the use of a Trust Indenture, it must be amended to reflect the change to a Loan and Security Agreement. The Borrower is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Richard J. Caron Foundation (Caron).  Caron offers a full continuum of addiction and behavioral health care services at inpatient facilities located in Pennsylvania and Florida.  The Borrower has requested the issuance of the Bonds to fund the cost and finance the construction, installation, and equipping of a new medical detox facility located at 4675 West Linton Boulevard in Delray Beach; and the acquisition and renovation of Fairways on the Green, a residential housing facility at 2046 Lowson Boulevard in Delray Beach.  Neither the taxing power nor the faith and credit of the County, nor any County funds, shall be pledged to pay the principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds.

The five year economic impact is estimated at $42.5 million.  At the time of the Company’s application to the State and County, the Company planned to move with its “sister company” from a location in Palm Beach Gardens to one in West Palm Beach; invest $1.85 million to lease, renovate and equip a 20,000 sf facility; create 50 new jobs; and retain 77 existing jobs.  However, after conceptual approval by the BCC, the sister company decided not to move from the Palm Beach Gardens location.  The Agreement reflects the reduced capital investment and number of retained jobs resulting from this change. The Agreement requires a performance security in the form of either a clean, irrevocable Letter of Credit or Cash Bond equal to the full amount of the maximum Incentive to be awarded to the Company.  In addition, Part X, Section 29 of the Agreement provides delegated authority to the Director of Housing and Economic Sustainability to exercise the County’s rights under the Agreement, including, but not limited to, the power to send written notices of default or termination. The State of Florida approved a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) tax refund for the Company in the amount of $350,000.  Of this amount, $280,000 is from the State of Florida and $70,000 is a required match from local government entities.  The Company and the State are entering into an agreement for the QTI tax refund.  The required $70,000 match to the QTI tax refund will be split equally between Palm Beach County ($35,000) and the City of West Palm Beach ($35,000). The County match will be provided in the form of a cash grant in an amount not to exceed $35,000 over a seven year period provided the project meets the requirements under Section 288.106 Florida Statutes.
