2.         Staff recommends motion to receive and file: Amendment No. 1 to contract for Provision of Services with the Area Agency on Aging of Palm Beach/Treasure Coast, Inc. (AAA) (R2020-0955), for the period June 1, 2020 through December 30, 2020, to decrease the contract amount by $1,400,000, for a new not-to-exceed total amount of $1,700,000, to provide emergency food distribution to Palm Beach County seniors experiencing crisis as a result of COVID-19. SUMMARY: AAA worked in partnership with the Palm Beach County Division of Senior and Veteran Services and The Mae Volen Center, Inc. to address food insecurities of seniors impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Amendment No. 1 was necessary in order to decrease funding based on the agency’s projections. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security funds were reallocated to other contracts that focused on emergency food distribution to offset the impact of COVID-19. AAA coordinated food production, and delivery (including home delivery) and pick up of meal packages. To date, AAA has provided more than 30,000 meals to Palm Beach County seniors. The Director of Purchasing has authority to execute these contracts pursuant to Section 2-54(f)(4), Palm Beach County Code. 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 funding required.

3.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Contracts for Provision of Services with the below-listed agencies for the two-year period October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2022, in an amount not-to-exceed $388,576, to provide emergency shelter, stipends and supplies to homeless participants in the Parks to Work (P2W) Program:

 

A) The Salvation Army, in an amount not-to-exceed $218,400, of which $109,200 is budgeted for FY 2021, with an anticipated annual allocation of $109,200 in FY 2022, contingent upon a budgetary appropriation by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), for the term of the contract, to provide emergency shelter to homeless participants in the P2W Program; and

 

B) The Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County, Inc., in an amount not-to-exceed $170,176, of which $85,088 is budgeted for FY 2021, with an anticipated annual allocation of $85,088 in FY 2022, contingent upon a budgetary appropriation by the BCC, for the term of the contract, to provide stipends and supplies to homeless participants in the P2W Program.

 

SUMMARY: The P2W Program assists individuals who have been homeless for extended periods of time, with medical, substance use, and mental health issues in Palm Beach County parks. The finalization of the contracts was delayed due to competing staff assignments and an extended review of the agencies scope of work and budget. The Salvation Army requires that all negotiations or changes go through their national headquarters before they can be approved. Clients are often unemployable by mainstream employers. The P2W Program provides shelter, case management, employment assistance, and rapid re-housing or permanent supportive housing placement assistance. Since the inception of the program on February 12, 2018, 60 individuals participated in the P2W Program. Currently, 32% of the participants are housed through emergency shelter and/or supportive housing. One hundred percent (100%) of the individuals who participated in the program received mainstream intensive case management, which includes medical care, treatment for substance use disorder, mental health and behavioral health services, vocational and employment skills training, and financial education. Twenty-seven percent (27%) of the participants have maintained full-time employment outside of the P2W Program. Thirty percent (30%) of P2W participants maintained housing by successfully completing the P2W and rapid re-housing programs. Through the P2W Program, The Salvation Army will provide emergency shelter per night, for nine homeless participants who are referred from the Palm Beach County Human Services Homeless Outreach Programs or any homeless outreach effort. The Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County, Inc. will provide approximately nine program participants with weekly stipends based on hours worked, as well as equipment and supplies.  Each program participant will earn $10 an hour for six hours per day, five days per week, for a total of 22 weeks. Uwe Naujak, an employee of The Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County, Inc., is a member of the Homeless Advisory Board (HAB). The HAB provides no regulation, oversight, management, or policy-setting recommendation regarding the subject contracts or transactions. Disclosure of these contractual relationships at a duly noticed public meeting is being provided in accordance with the provisions of Section 2-443, of the Palm Beach County Code of Ethics.

Daly Company (Consultant) (R2018-0917) in the amount of $272,746 to provide professional architectural and engineering services for the Vista Center Covered Drop Off and Main Lobby Modifications project located at 2300 N Jog Road, West Palm Beach.  SUMMARY: On June 19, 2018, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved a continuing contract (R2018-0917) with the Consultant to provide professional architectural services for planned or potential future renovations, expansions, modifications and/or additions to existing judicial type facilities. CSA No. 3 authorized an assessment and evaluation of security concerns at the main lobby of the 2300 Vista Center building (Vista Center). The security improvements to be designed at the Vista Center are akin to the typical security provisions found at judicial facilities (e.g. screening stations) therefore, although Vista Center is not a judicial facility, the scope of work for this CSA remains within the overall scope of the containing contract. Supplement No. 1 to CSA No. 3 authorizes design services for modifications and security enhancements to accommodate an efficient, secure and central location for customers to perform tasks related to fire, health, zoning and engineering reviews. Additionally, the CSA authorizes design services for a new covered drop-off at the north side of the main public entry of the Vista Center to better serve staff and patrons during inclement weather. The continuing professional services contract was advertised according to the County’s prior Small Business Enterprise (SBE) program where a 15% subcontracting goal was applied. The Consultant committed to a contract goal of 25%. SBE participation on this CSA is 27.19%. To date, the overall SBE participation on this continuing contract is 25.35%. The Consultant is not a certified SBE.  The Consultant has a local office in Palm Beach County. The funding sources for this project is from the Building Capital Projects fund and Municipal Services Taxing District fund.

SUMMARY: On March 9, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved Amendment No. 3 (R2021-0345) to the CM contract with Kast Construction Company LLC (R2020-0249.1) for the PBSO HQ Renovation project establishing a GMP in the amount of $33,653,791. Change Order No. 1 authorizes professional cleaning services for the existing metal supply and return ductwork in a section of the facility (phase 1 of the project) which will remain occupied during construction allowing for continuity of operations. Additionally, this change order authorizes targeted cleaning of the interiors of the fibrous duct board as determined on a case-by-case basis during professional cleaning efforts. These duct cleaning services are part of the preventative measures aimed at addressing Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) concerns raised by building occupants. The CM contract with Kast Construction Company LLC 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. Kast Construction Company LLC is not an SBE, but has partnered with All-Site Construction, Inc., an SBE CM. In September 2020, prior to subcontractor advertisement and bidding, the Goal Setting Committee applied an Affirmative Procurement Initiative to the construction subcontracts of 25% SBE participation, of which 5% must be a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) African American or Hispanic American. The original SBE participation on Amendment No. 3 was 39.89% of which 7.37% was MBE participation. There is no SBE participation for Change Order No. 1. To date, including Change Order No. 1 to Amendment No. 3, Kast Construction Company LLC has achieved 39.79% SBE subcontracting participation of which 7.42% is MBE participation. Kast Construction Company LLC is a Palm Beach County business. The funding source for this project is from the Infrastructure Sales Tax fund.

SUMMARY:  The Library Department requests a new five year term contract to purchase a subscription with NewsBank, Inc. for use by the public. This agreement would provide residents with access to the Palm Beach Post (FL) Digital Archive, Palm Beach Post (FL) 2020 Digital Archive, America’s News 2021 Edition (trial) including online training, special reports and news. The agreement would start in July 2021, in the amount of $25,000 for the first year. The vendor requires the County enter into a license agreement that contains liability provisions different from the County’s standard requirements. The proposed agreement does not contain a cap on liability and the County would be liable for its own negligence. There is also no indemnification by NewsBank to the County. Countywide (AH)

SUMMARY:  As per grant guidelines, certain expenditures and work products require approval from the OVW ICJR grant manager. The approval process is facilitated by drafting a GAM and submitting it through the OVW’s JustGrants Grant Management web portal. 1) GAM #68244 approved the “Teal Tag” work product.  The Teal Tag will be used to train hospital emergency department physicians on the services available to victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking who may enter their emergency room as a result of these crimes. The Teal Tag is designed to act as a badge buddy that can be attached behind hospital staff’s identification badges and utilized as a quick reference guide to contact PBC Victim Services when encountering victims of these crimes.  2) GAM #68245 denied a budget modification to add an additional Consultant Contract for contracted therapy services. The Grant Manager denied the request due to the old Grants Management System being phased out and no new GAMs were being reviewed during the time of transition to the new system. 3) GAM #68246 approved a one-year no-cost extension of the award period. The award period will now end September 30, 2021. 4) GAM #68248 approved the Grantee Advocate Change from Carrie Gale to Tessa Jacobson.

C)  approve a downward budget amendment of $4,828 in the Palm Tran Operating Fund 1340 to reconcile the revenue budget to the actual grant award.

 

SUMMARY:  On February 9, 2021, the BCC approved the original agreement (R2021-0255); FDOT did not execute the agreement and issued a revised PTGA as a result of adjusted appropriation funds. Palm Tran will utilize the grant funds to offset the operating costs of providing fixed route service in the rural areas of the County.  This FY2021 PTGA, in the amount of $707,642, will provide operating funding in the amount of $353,821, which requires a match of $353,821.  The match is included in Palm Tran’s FY2021 budget.  The PTGA will become effective upon FDOT Execution and has an expiration date of June 30, 2024. The grant agreement contains an indemnification provision that differs from that adopted for use by the County under PPM CW-F-049. The grant requires the County, to the extent permitted by law and in accordance with the provisions of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless FDOT and all of its officers, agents and employees from any claim, loss, damage, cost, charge, or expense arising out of the County’s non-compliance in the performance of this agreement, including that of its officers, agents or employees. An exception to the PPM has been recommended by the Risk Management Department and the County Attorney’s Office, taking into consideration the County’s need to provide the services, the amount of the grant award, the County’s current performance of such services and liability for its acts, and the non-waiver of sovereign immunity beyond the statutory caps of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes.  The indemnification obligation must also be passed on to contractors and/or consultants.

SUMMARY: Staff was directed by the Board of County Commissioners to amend the Cindy DeFilippo Floating Structure Ordinance (2015-030) to address continuing floating structure issues in waters of the County. The proposed ordinance amendment will prohibit the anchoring, mooring or otherwise affixing of floating structures upon or to, waters of the County within the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the County unless a municipality opts out or adopts an ordinance in conflict, and allow for direct removal of floating structures in violation of the ordinance, unless anchored or moored at a marina, marine facility, permitted public mooring field, privately owned dock, permitted private mooring, privately owned submerged land or as otherwise permitted under the ordinance.  Floating structures found to be in violation of the ordinance will have a notice placed upon them to notify the owner(s) that the floating structure is in violation of this ordinance and that they have 14 calendar days from the date of the posting to remove the floating structure, except when there is an impending tropical system, in which case an owner(s) shall be given 24 hours from the date and time of the posting of the notice to remove the floating structure. This ordinance is a tool for municipal enforcement; the County is not assuming enforcement responsibility within incorporated boundaries. Any law enforcement officer or Code Enforcement Officer acting within his/her jurisdiction can enforce this ordinance. On April 21, 2021, staff presented the proposed amendment to the League of Cities, who voted unanimously to not oppose. The draft was also distributed to various stakeholders to increase awareness and solicit comments. Countywide (SS)

B)  a budget transfer of $975,516 in the Airport’s Improvement and Development Fund to provide budget for the project, including a transfer from Reserves in the amount of $975,516.

 

SUMMARY:  Amendment No. 4 (Work Order MC 15) in the amount $8,145,981 and 907 Calendar Days was approved by the Board on September 15, 2020 (R2020-1336) for the Escalator Replacement at PBI. Approval of Change Order No. 1 to Amendment No. 4 in the amount of $975,516 will enable MGI to complete the replacement of eight interior stairway handrails at PBI. The Department intended to replace the handrails in a future project; however, it was determined that the state inspector will require the handrails in the adjacent stairways to be brought into compliance with current code and The Americans with Disabilities Act requirements before the escalators can be accepted and returned to service.
