A. AIRPORTS

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a one-time purchase of a Sutphen Heavy Duty Monarch S-Series 750 Pumper vehicle in the amount of $760,534.73 for use at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI). SUMMARY: The Palm Beach County Department of Airports, in coordination with Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, has identified the need for the replacement of the existing rescue pumper at Station 81 at PBI. Station 81 is the primary response facility for all incidents and accidents that occur at PBI. The new pumper vehicle will allow Station 81 to carry all of the required tools, specialized Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting equipment, and personnel to the scene in a single vehicle and will provide increased water capacity. Several of the vehicles utilized by Station 81 at PBI are nearing, or at the end of, their typical service life, resulting in increased maintenance costs and difficulty in sourcing replacement parts. A replacement and renewal plan has been developed to replace additional vehicles over the next several years. The procurement of the Sutphen Pumper vehicle will be processed through the NPP RFP 1905, Item # 3.C, Custom Pumper, Sutphen Contract # PS20250. A purchase order will be issued for the purchase of the pumper vehicle following Board approval of this purchase. The requirements of the County’s EBO Ordinance have been waived for this purchase since there are no certified Small/Minority/Women-Owned Business Enterprises capable of providing this vehicle. Pursuant to changes to Chapter 332, Florida Statutes, effective October 1, 2020, a governing body of a commercial service airport may not approve contracts in excess of the Category Five threshold amount of $325,000 provided in Section 287.017, Florida Statutes, on a consent agenda. This purchase exceeds the threshold amount and must be approved on the regular agenda. Countywide (AH)

A. AIRPORTS (Cont’d)

2. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) a Master Services Agreement with ARINC Incorporated (ARINC), a part of Collins Aerospace (Collins), (Agreement) for an amount not to exceed $1,100,419.37, providing for hardware and firmware updates to the Common Use Passenger Processing System (CUPPS) used by the airlines operating at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), licensing for the continued use of proprietary software applications, and technical support services effective January 10, 2023, and expiring on September 30, 2024, with four additional one-year options to renew;

B) a budget transfer in the amount of $167,669 in the Airport’s Improvement and Development Fund to provide budget for the project, including a transfer from Reserves in the amount of $167,669. This project is partially funded under the current year’s budget.

C) a budget transfer in the amount of $327,231 in the Airport’s Operating Fund to provide budget for the project, including a transfer from Reserves in the amount of $327,231.

SUMMARY: The Agreement provides for hardware and firmware updates to the CUPPS, licensing for the continued use of proprietary software applications, and technical support services. Historically, airlines installed proprietary equipment at ticket counters and at gate podiums to process passengers at PBI. Common use technology enables multiple airlines to share computer workstations at physical check-in and gate podiums to process passengers for flights using a uniform electronic interface. While a number of airlines still use proprietary equipment at leased ticket counters and gates, many of the airlines operating at PBI rely solely on the CUPPS for passenger processing, and all the airlines use the CUPPS for overflow when additional gates are required to process passengers for flights. The County entered into a Contract with ARINC for the installation of the CUPPS on October 18, 2016 (R2016-1480), which included a five-year software license and technical support services and expires on January 31, 2023. Although the Agreement becomes effective upon Board approval, the software license and technical support services will not commence until the expiration of the current Contract. The total not to exceed amount includes $200,000 for any equipment or services that may be required during the initial term of the Agreement, including, but not limited to, the purchase of additional and/or replacement equipment such as workstations, kiosks and peripherals, data security improvements and assessments, relocation of equipment, and other services necessary for the support of the CUPPS. Airlines utilizing the CUPPS at PBI pay for the full cost of the system through rates and charges established annually in accordance with the Signatory Airline Agreement (R2019-1155). ARINC is the sole source service provider for the CUPPS used at PBI; therefore, the Agreement is not subject to Affirmative Procurement Initiatives (API) for Small/Minority/Woman-Owned Business Enterprise participation. The Agreement includes nonstandard limitation of liability and indemnification provisions, limiting ARINC’s liability to $1 million dollars and requiring ARINC to indemnify the County for ARINC’s negligence or willful misconduct. Due to business needs and after advising the Department of Airports (DOA) accordingly, approval has been granted by Risk Management and the County Attorney’s Office to move the Agreement forward for Board of County Commissioner approval. The CUPPS is critical to on-going airport operations, requiring specialized technical knowledge for its operation, maintenance and repair. Accordingly, DOA recommends approval of this item. Pursuant to changes to Chapter 332, Florida Statutes, effective October 1, 2020, a governing body of a commercial service airport may not approve purchases of contractual services in excess of the Category Five threshold amount of $325,000 provided in Section 287.017, Florida Statutes, on a consent agenda. This Agreement exceeds the threshold amount and must be approved on the regular agenda. Countywide (AH)

B. ADMINISTRATION

1. DELETED ~~Staff requests direction:~~

A) on the inclusion of a 401(a) plan as part of the County’s investment options for mandatory employee participation that directs designated unused sick and/or vacation leave into the Special Pay Plan (SPP); and

B) ~~issuance of an RFP for either one or multiple 401(a) providers.~~

~~SUMMARY:~~ Staff provided an update to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on October 18, 2022, At that time based on a previous directive, staff researched the parameters of setting up a 401(a) plan with the specific intent of requiring employees who have accumulated sick and/or vacation leave, to have those funds deposited into this specific fund upon completion of their service with the County. County staff remained uncertain of the ability to use the 401(a) as a direct deposit of these unused sick and vacation hours and requested outside Counsel to opine on the matter. The BCC granted that request, and that response was received on December 2^nd, and confirmed that the 401(a) could be used in this manner. 401(a) plans are investment tools that are also known as SPPs that can be customized depending on who participates and what types of contributions are allowable, but ultimately require anyone designated as participants to participate in the SPP. These plans are additional retirement plans that are funded by an employee’s “Special Pay”, which is compensation other than regular salary or wages accumulated by an employee. Those funds can be converted to a lump sum at termination of employment or can be swept into the fund at specified increments at the end of a pay period or a fiscal year. Special Pay for these plans may include any accumulated, unused sick, vacation or other leave payment that is eligible for contribution into the plan. Through these plans, the employer must contribute any accumulated Special Pay designated under the rules of the plan directly into the Plan. While the mandatory participation of the plan can be an argument against its’ implementation, the employer and employee tax savings of 7.65% of Social Security and Medicare tax that come with the plan setup is seen as one of its advantages. Currently, Palm Beach County has a 401(a) plan administered by Nationwide. That plan was specifically created for one employee over 25 years ago who was not eligible to participate in the Florida Retirement System. The remaining direction requested of the Board are the specifics on how to set up the plan and whom it will apply to, in addition to, how employees entering DROP will be able to utilize their excess hours to contribute toward their Average Final Compensation. Direction from the Board is also requested regarding when we issue an RFP, will it be for one or more specific 401(a) providers. Countywide (MM)

D. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

1. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) an agreement for purchase and sale of a 1.3 acre parcel of vacant land located north of Indiantown Road and east of Bee Line Highway from Maryann S. Peterson and Jeanne M. Givens for $20,150 plus closing, title insurance and recording costs estimated to be $425;

B) a Memorandum of Agreement with Maryann S. Peterson and Jeanne M. Givens;

C) an agreement for purchase and sale of a 1.3 acre parcel of vacant land located north of Indiantown Road and east of Bee Line Highway from Amelia F. Petravicz for $20,150 plus closing, title insurance and recording costs estimated to be $425; and

D) a Memorandum of Agreement with Amelia F. Petravicz;

SUMMARY: On November 2, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved a fiscal strategy for the spending of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, which included an allocation of $4,000,000 for the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands. The parcels owned by Maryann S. Peterson and Jeanne M. Givens (Peterson and Givens parcel) and Amelia F. Petravicz (Petravicz parcel), are interior parcels located in an area known as Palm Beach Heights (part of the Pal-Mar Ecosite). The Pal-Mar Ecosite is part of a large ecological greenway that stretches from just west of the Atlantic Ocean to just east of Lake Okeechobee. The area provides habitat for a wide variety of native plants and animals and it is part of a hydrologically significant region that includes the headwaters of the federally designated Wild and Scenic Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee River. Hence, its value as environmentally sensitive land. Palm Beach Heights is an old, non-confirming subdivision and, as described in the County’s “Report on Lack of Development Potential of Palm Beach Heights Parcels – April 2017,” most of its parcels, including the subject parcels, cannot meet current land development regulations and are therefore, unbuildable. Appraisals were obtained from Anderson & Carr, Inc. and M.R. Ford & Associates, Inc. who assigned a $15,000 and $16,000 per acre value for interior Palm Beach Heights parcels, respectively. Callaway & Price, Inc. reviewed the appraisals and concluded a reasonable aggregate value of $15,500 per acre for interior Palm Beach Heights parcels, which is the basis of the offers. The agreements allow for the County’s due diligence review of the parcels within 45 days of Board approval. The County will pay title insurance policy premiums, closing and recording costs estimated to be $425 for the Peterson and Givens parcel and $425 for the Petravicz parcel. The Environmental Resources and Management (ERM) Department will perform pre-acquisition environmental assessments for the parcels prior to closing. Boundary surveys will not be obtained for any of the parcels due to their remote locations. ERM will be responsible for the administration of the parcels. All costs related to the acquisitions will be paid from existing funds received from the ARPA Response Projects Fund. These acquisitions must be approved by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners).
