C.        ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) an amendment to the Infrastructure Surtax (IST) Project Plan approved by the Board of County Commissioners on April 4, 2017, to increase the budget for the Hood Road from Briarlake Drive to west of the Florida Turnpike pathway project (Project) from $200,000 to $500,000; and

 

B) a budget transfer of $300,000 within the IST Fund from reserves to increase the budget for the Project.

 

SUMMARY:  Approval of the amendment and budget transfer will increase the funding for the Project from $200,000 to $500,000. The increase in cost is due to aging estimates within the IST Plan, escalating construction costs, and additional work at the east end of the Project due to unforeseen site conditions caused by a new development’s entrance. The $300,000 will be transferred from the Engineering Department’s IST Reserve account. The Sales Tax Oversight Committee reviewed this request at their May 20, 2021 meeting and approved it unanimously. This Project is included in the infrastructure sales tax. District 1 (YBH)

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  a contract with R & D Paving, LLC (RDP) in the amount of $518,149.95 for the construction of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Acme Dairy Road (Project). SUMMARY: Approval of this contract will provide the construction services necessary to extend a right turn lane on Boynton Beach Boulevard at Acme Dairy Road. The Affirmative Procurement Initiative selected for this contract on October 7, 2020 by the Goal Setting Committee is a 20% minimum mandatory Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation. RDP contractually agreed to 65.8% SBE participation. RDP was the lowest responsive bidder of nine. The contract time for the Project is 120 calendar days.

5.         Staff recommends motion to receive and file: an addendum to the Public Transportation Grant Agreement (PTGA) with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the Terminal Roof Improvements at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) to clarify the indemnification provision in the PTGA.  Delegation of authority for execution of this Addendum was approved by the BCC on August 25, 2020 (R2020-1017). SUMMARY:  On August 25, 2020, the BCC adopted a resolution (R2020-1024) approving a PTGA (R2020-1025) with the FDOT in the amount of $2,600,000 or 50% of the eligible project costs, whichever is less, for the Terminal Roof Improvements at PBI.

The PTGA (CSFA No. 55.004) was executed by the FDOT on March 12, 2021.

6.         Staff recommends motion to receive and file: Public Transportation Grant Agreement (PTGA) Number 433143-2-94-01 with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in the amount of $3,094,606 to Construct Additional Tie-Down/Transient Apron at North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport (F45).  Delegation of authority for execution of this PTGA was approved by the BCC on August 25, 2020 (R2020-1017). This PTGA replaces Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) Number 433143-1-94-01, which was closed by FDOT and the balance in the amount of $3,094,606 was reallocated to the new PTGA. This PTGA is effective as of April 5, 2021 with an expiration date of December 31, 2023. SUMMARY:  On February 6, 2018, the BCC adopted a Resolution (R2018-0153) approving a JPA (R2018-0154) with the FDOT in the amount of $1,500,000 or 80% of the eligible project costs, whichever is less to Construct Additional Tie-Down/Transient Apron at F45 under a multi-year funding plan. On January 15, 2019 the BCC adopted Resolution (R2019-0040) approving a Supplemental JPA (R2019-0041) as part of the second year funding, increasing the original funding share by an additional $1,620,000 for a revised FDOT participation of $3,120,000 bringing the revised total cost of the project to $3,900,000.  On January 8, 2021, the FDOT requested the transition of state funds of this grant agreement from a JPA to a PTGA as the JPA template is no longer in compliance with Section 215.971, Florida Statutes; therefore, the FDOT closed the existing JPA and transferred the remaining funds to a new PTGA. The FDOT has issued a new PTGA (CSFA No. 55.004), to the above referenced project in the amount $3,094,606 or 80% of the eligible project costs, whichever is less; changing the total estimated cost of the project from $3,900,000 to $3,868,257. Airport required local match is in the current budget. The actions described above allow for the conversion of available funding from JPAs to PTGAs in order to comply with new grant agreement provisions while maintaining current grant funding levels for the project.  Countywide (AH)

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  a negotiated settlement offer in the amount of $20,000 for the full satisfaction of a code enforcement lien that was entered against Mark H. and Tonya M. Pignato on September 4, 2013. SUMMARY: The Code Enforcement Special Magistrate (CESM) entered an order on June 5, 2013 for the property owned by Mark H. and Tonya M. Pignato providing them until July 5, 2013 to bring their property located at 765 Whippoorwill Isle N., West Palm Beach, FL into full compliance. The property had been cited for livestock in a residential area and erecting/installing roofed, wooden cage type structure without obtaining required building permits.  Compliance with the CESM’s Order was not achieved by the ordered compliance date and a fine in the amount of $50 per day was imposed.

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  a budget amendment of $69,583,765 in the $69.235M Taxable Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2021C Debt Service Fund to budget bond proceeds. SUMMARY: This item was previously approved at the May 18, 2021 Board of County Commissioners meeting, however due to scrivener’s error, the amount of $69,166,051 was incorrect and should have been $69,583,765. On March 9, 2021, the Board approved Resolution No. R2021-1528 which authorized the issuance of the Series 2021C Refunding Bonds for a refunding of the Public Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2015D through a competitive sale as recommended by the County Financing Committee and the County’s Financial Advisors. Through an electronic bid process, the County awarded the sale to Wells Fargo. The refunding will save the County approximately $8.44 million (14.895%) in debt service over the life of the bonds.

Preconstruction services include validating constructability, cost estimating, procurement services and the development of the guaranteed maximum price (GMP). The facility will be constructed in phases; construction phase services shall be authorized through amendments to the contract, which will be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners (Board) for approval. The solicitation for a construction manager (CM) was advertised on April 8, 2018 according to the prior Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance in place at the time. The SBE participation goal established for the contract was 25%. The CM is not an SBE, but has subcontracted with M.C.O Construction and Services, Inc., a Small/Minority/Women-Owned Business Enterprise CM contractor, for construction management services in an amount no less than 25% of the CM fees. The CM committed to an SBE goal of 25%.

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a budget transfer of $620,000 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO). SUMMARY: Section 932.7055(5), Florida Statutes; provides that the seizing agency shall use forfeiture proceeds for school resource officer, crime prevention, safe neighborhood, drug abuse education and prevention programs, or for other law enforcement purposes, which include defraying the cost of protracted or complex investigations, providing additional equipment or expertise, purchasing automated external defibrillators, and providing matching grant funds. Section 932.7055(5), Florida Statutes; also requires that no less than 25% of the LETF’s previous year’s revenues be used for the support or operation of drug treatment, drug abuse education, drug prevention, crime prevention, safe neighborhood and school resource officer programs of various non-profit organizations. The PBSO’s FY 2021 donation requirement is $152,405. The PBSO’s support of these programs exemplifies its strong commitment to the prevention and reduction of crime throughout the communities it serves and its desire to put money back into these communities to support organizations that provide such services. The year-to-date transfer for all donations to outside organizations after approval of this item is $1,251,545.  The funds requested are to aid PBSO and qualified organizations that meet the requirements set forth in Section 932.7055(5), Florida Statutes. Use of LETF requires approval by the Board, upon request of the Sheriff.  The current State LETF balance is $2,392,474. Approval of this request will reduce the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $1,772,474. The PBSO certifies that the use of these funds is in accordance with Section 932.7055(5), Florida Statutes.  Below is a table indicating the organizations the PBSO seeks to fund and the corresponding amount of funding proposed per respective organization or agency. No new positions are needed and no additional County funds are required. Countywide (DC)
