ADJOURNMENT (Page 55)
SEPTEMBER 12, 2023
A. ADMINISTRATION
A) adopt a resolution of the Board of
County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, establishing Non-ad valorem
Special Assessments pursuant to the Palm Beach County Local Provider
Participation Fund (LPPF) Ordinance for the purpose of benefitting assessed
hospital properties through enhanced Medicaid payments for local services; and
B) approve a Second Amendment to an
Interlocal Agreement entered into on September 14, 2021, between the County and the Health Care
District of Palm
Beach County, (the District), for the provision of administrative services to
coordinate with the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) the
special assessment authorized by the LPPF Ordinance.
Summary: on August 26, 2021, the Board of County
Commissioners adopted Ordinance 2021-024,
establishing the LPPF Ordinance. The LPPF Ordinance required the thirteen private
hospitals located in Palm Beach County, located in AHCA’s Region 9, to pay a uniform, non-ad valorem special assessment,
set annually by resolution of the Board of County Commissioners. Funds collected through the
LPPF assessment are sent by the District to AHCA through intergovernmental
transfers, (IGTs), consistent
with
federal guidelines,
as
the non-federal share of increased
Medicaid managed care payments facilitated under a hospital directed payment
program (DPP), that was first approved for the State of Florida in 2021 and annually
reapproved. Through the DPP, AHCA uses the
IGTs to draw additional federal Medicaid dollars and transfers those additional
dollars to Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) in order to fund increased payments by MCOs to
the local hospitals to provide services
to Medicaid patients. This year, the
Assessment shall equal .28% of gross
patient revenue for each Assessed Property specified in the attached Non-Ad
Valorem Assessment Roll. Staff recommends adoption of the
resolution of the Board of County Commissioners establishing Non-Ad Valorem special Assessments pursuant to the LPPF Ordinance. Staff also recommends approval
of the Second Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with the District, which
exercises a second one-year renewal option so that the LPPF Assessments will
continue to be coordinated and administered by the District. Pursuant
to the Resolution, the District is compensated in an amount not-to-exceed $300,000,
per the administration fee provision of the LPPF Ordinance. No County funds are required. Countywide (HH)

& PUBLIC WORKS
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution approving Amendment Number Five
(Amendment 5) to the Joint Participation Agreement (R2009-0823), dated June 27,
2009 (JPA), as amended, with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
for the operation and maintenance of the Palm Beach County (County) Traffic
Management Center (TMC) from June 27, 2009 to June 30, 2029. SUMMARY: Adoption of this Resolution and
approval of Amendment 5 to the JPA will reduce FDOT’s fund participation in the
amount of $50,000, due to excess funding that was not needed for the operation and maintenance of the TMC
during FY 2020. The FDOT removes unspent funds or allocates additional funds
based on actual maintenance funding needs. As a result, the FDOT’s portion is revised from $223,026.95 to $173,026.95,
contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Florida Legislature. On
June 27, 2009, the FDOT entered into the twenty year JPA with the County for
joint operation of the TMC and its audio and visual equipment. The FDOT reimburses
the County for 70% to operate and maintain the video wall and related
audio-visual equipment, up to a maximum limit of $50,000 per year and the
County is responsible for all other costs associated with the operation and
maintenance of the TMC. The JPA was amended on
November 5, 2010 (R2010-1609) to reduce the project funding amount. On June 11,
2013 (R2013-0600) it was amended to add funding for the operation and
maintenance of the video display wall and audio system. On June 4, 2014
(R2014-0669) it was amended to remove unspent funds from certain fiscal years.
On June 29, 2018 (R2018-0889) it was amended to add additional funding for the
video display wall and audio system. Countywide (YBH)
2. Staff recommends
motion to receive and file: thirteen fully executed Adopt-A-Road
Agreements with various parties (Group). SUMMARY:
In accordance with Countywide PPM
CW-O-051, all delegated contracts, agreements, and grants must be submitted by
the initiating Department as a receive and file agenda item. These agreements
were executed by the County Engineer, in 2022 and 2023, as reflected in
Attachment one. The Adopt-A-Road Program allow a Group to perform litter
removal along Palm Beach County (County) maintained road rights-of-way. Each
Group is expected to conduct litter removal activities at least four times a
year. The County provides recognition signs for each Group at the beginning and
end of the Group’s adopted road segment, and picks up the litter bags. Each
Group must pay a fee to offset the County’s costs to install the signs and
remove the collected litter bags. The fee is waived for non-profit Groups. Countywide

the amount of $1,232,688.30 with a contract time of 360 calendar days for the
construction of Del Prado Circle at Palmetto Circle Intersections and Sidewalk
Improvements (Project). SUMMARY: Approval of this contract will authorize the
construction services necessary to complete the Project. The Project includes
the construction of sidewalk improvements at two locations on Del Prado Circle
and three right turn lanes at three separate locations. On October 5, 2022, the
Goal Setting Committee applied an Affirmative Procurement Initiative of a 20% minimum mandatory Small Business Enterprise

contract. Bids for the contract were received by the Engineering &
Public Works Department (EPW) on March 21, 2023. RDP was the lowest responsive bidder of three
bidders. The contract time for the
Project is 360 calendar days. RDP has
an office located in Palm Beach County and is a certified SBE company. This
Project is the last of nine projects that EPW has brought to the Board of
County Commissioners (BCC) for contracts that include escalation clauses in the
contract language as test cases. The escalation test case summaries are
expected to be presented to the BCC by the end of this calendar year. This Project is included in the Five-Year

4. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Work
Order 2021050-55 in the amount of $815,000 to mill and resurface Congress
Avenue from Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard to 45th Street utilizing Palm
Beach County’s (County) annual asphalt milling and resurfacing contract
R2021-0984 (Contract) with Ranger Construction Industries, Inc. (Ranger). SUMMARY: Per County PPM CW-F-050, this work order
exceeds the $200,000 threshold for staff approvals of work orders to annual
contracts, thus requiring approval from the Board of County Commissioners
(BCC). Approval of this work order will allow the contractual services
necessary to construct the improvements. Prior to this meeting date,
approximately $17 million of the $50 million Contract that was approved on
August 17, 2021, by the BCC, has been spent or encumbered. This Contract is one
of three contracts with an available cumulative total of $50 million for the

5. Staff recommends motion to approve: the conveyance of a Utility Easement (Easement) for a 10’ wide strip of land on South Military Trail, north of West Linton Boulevard to the Florida Power & Light Company (FPL). SUMMARY: Approval of this 0.0693 acre Easement will allow FPL to relocate transmission poles for Palm Beach County’s (County) construction of new right turn lanes and traffic signals on Military Trail at Linton Boulevard (Project). The Easement is located at the northwest corner of West Linton Boulevard and South Military Trail. The Engineering and Public Works Department (EPW) has determined that conveying the Easement to FPL will not affect present or future County use. The County acquired 0.1938 acres, representing a 23.50’ wide strip of land, for the Project, from Las Verdes Property Owners Association, Inc. through a stipulated order of taking that was recorded in Palm Beach County Official Record Book 33555, Page 387. FPL requested the Easement to relocate its transmission poles. FPL’s equipment previously existed within an easement. This Easement replaces the previous easement that is needed for the Project, and is granted at no cost to FPL. EPW reviewed and supports FPL’s request for the Easement, which is located on the west 10’ of the 23.50’ wide strip of land. District 5 (YBH)

E2016, Section 5, letter F – Funding Consideration, the State of Florida’s and
FDOC’s performance and obligation to pay under this Agreement is contingent
upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature of the State of Florida. FDOC
shall have final authority as to both the availability of funds and what
constitutes an “annual appropriation” of funds. The lack of appropriation or
availability of funds shall not create FDOC’s default under this Agreement. If
there is a state or federal funding shortfall, then the funding otherwise made
available under this Agreement may be reduced. On April 7, 2023, FDOC sent a

Assistance Program (LIHWAP), and CSBG programs exceeded budget authority. As a
result, these NFAs were issued to revise the general terms and conditions and
revise the release amounts, with no changes to the overall grant award amount.
Though the award amount remains the same, the amount Community Services
Department (CSD) is authorized to spend is based on the release amount, which
is subject to change based on FDOC’s budget authority granted by the State of

season when there is a significant increase in passenger traffic. The subcontractor agreed to purchase glass
from a local supplier with a shorter lead time and was able to open the stairs
before Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, upon
final acceptance inspection, the glass did not meet the ASTM standards flat

replace the defective glass and provided a sample for approval. The sample did not meet the ASTM standard, so
the subcontractor subsequently procured replacement glass from the original
supplier. Approval of Change Order No. 5

the project by submitting prequalification documents prior to the submission of
the bid response. The Contractor will have 120 calendar days from notice to
proceed to substantially complete the project. Liquidated damages for failure
to achieve certification of substantial completion within the contract time or
approved time extension thereof are $120 per day. This work order was solicited

the amount of $349,452 for the Four Points-Chiller Replacement project for a
period of 260 calendar days from notice to proceed. SUMMARY: The work consists of
furnishing all labor, equipment, devices, tools, machinery, transportation, professional
services, supervision, drawings, permitting and all miscellaneous requirements
necessary to remove and replace two (2) 90-ton air cooled chillers and water
pumps and to reconnect the existing Building Automation System (BAS) at the
Four Points building located at 50 S. Military Trail, West Palm Beach. The
existing equipment has outlived its useful life. The new air cooled chillers
and water pumps will be more efficient and provide years of dependable service.
This project was competitively advertised and new contractors were invited to
bid on the project by submitting prequalification documents prior to the
submission of the bid response. The Contractor will have 260 calendar days from
notice to proceed to substantially complete the project. Liquidated damages for
failure to achieve certification of substantial completion within the contract
time or approved time extension thereof are $120 per day. This work order was
solicited pursuant to the annual HVAC contract and the requirements of the
Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Ordinance. The HVAC annual contract was
presented to the Goal Setting Committee on August 21, 2019 and the Committee
established Affirmative Procurement Initiatives (APIs) of sheltered market for
projects less than $100,000 (when three (3) or more small businesses are
qualified under the annual contract) or an SBE contractor will be given a price
preference for projects $100,000 or greater if its bid is within 10% of the
lowest non-small business bid. Since this project is over $100,000, the SBE
price preference API was applied. The Contractor is a local firm. The SBE
participation on this work order is 5.03%. To date, the overall SBE
participation on the annual HVAC contract is 26.60%. Funding for this

(R2019-1899) with Colomé & Associates, Inc. (Consultant) in the
amount of $119,074.78 for the Main County Courthouse (MCCH) Helipad Renovations
project. SUMMARY: On December 17,
2019, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the continuing
consulting services/design professional services contract (R2019-1899) with the
Consultant to provide consulting services/design professional services for
various projects on a continuing contract basis. Under CSA No. 28, the
Consultant will provide the professional services (i.e. design, construction
document preparation, cost estimating, permitting, bidding and construction
administration services) necessary for the first phase of the MCCH Helipad
Renovations project. The existing helipad at the MCCH building has been
nonoperational since 2017. Renovations are necessary to bring the existing
helipad structure into compliance so that it can be operational and better
serve the future needs of the MCCH and law enforcement operations. Although the
helipad is infrequently used, representatives from the Palm Beach County
Sherriff’s Office (PBSO) have confirmed that sporadically it is used to train
pilots and that it could be an asset if an incident were to occur at the MCCH
that required deployment of a law enforcement team onto the roof. Although
foregoing renovations is an option, proceeding accordingly would lead to
further deterioration of the helipad thereby diminishing the value of the prior
capital investment. The renovations to the existing helipad structure are based
on an assessment performed by the Consultant (dated January 3, 2022), which was
authorized under CSA No. 10. The assessment defined the needed renovations to
the existing structure, electronics and fire suppression systems associated
with the helipad. This authorization is for the first phase of the renovations
required to refurbish and reinforce the helipad platform structure. This
continuing consulting services/design professional services contract was
presented to the Goal Setting Committee on August 7, 2019, and the Committee
established Affirmative Procurement Initiatives (APIs) of a 20% mandatory small

assistance and construction administration phase services for the first and
second floor south wing building renovations at the West County Administration
Building. After completion of the building assessment, survey and conceptual

Renovations project since the construction cost is now expected to be in excess
of $4M. The new estimated construction cost exceeds the permissible limit for
continuing contracts pursuant to the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act

motion to approve: the
Federally Funded Sub award and Grant Agreement for DR-4680-Hurricane Nicole
(Agreement Number: Z3686) (the “Agreement”) with the State of Florida, Division
of Emergency Management (FDEM) to authorize projects related to Hurricane
Nicole and for reimbursement for eligible project expenses. Summary: On December 13, 2022, the President of the
United States issued a major disaster declaration designated “FEMA-4680-DR” for
the State of Florida as a result of Hurricane Nicole authorizing Public
Assistance (PA) funding for eligible Florida Counties. PA is a federal grant to aid state and local
governments in returning a disaster area to pre-disaster conditions.
Expenses associated with Hurricane Nicole and eligible for reimbursement
were projected at $12,063,334.25 which included Category B (Emergency
Protective Measures), Category E (Buildings and Equipment) and Category G
(Parks, Recreational, Other). The
federal share of the eligible costs is 75% and the nonfederal share will be the
remaining amount. Payment of a specified
portion of the nonfederal share is contingent upon future State appropriations. Typically, the State of Florida will
contribute a 12.5% share of the qualified actual expenditures incurred, leaving

motion to:
A) ratify the Mayor’s signature on the Standard Contract #COHEC with
the State of Florida, Department of Health, for the period of July 1, 2023
through June 30, 2026 to receive appropriation funding from the Florida
Legislature in the amount of $846,117 for sexual assault services to primary
and secondary victims of sexual assault; and
B) approve a Budget Amendment of $775,607 in the Public Safety Grants
Fund to recognize the contract award from the State of Florida, Department of
Health (DOH).
Summary: The Public Safety Department’s Division of Victim Services received a
legislative appropriation (CFSA 64.121) for the continuation of advocacy and
forensic exam services to victims of sexual assault. Funding is used for rent expenses of the
Butterfly House, the forensic exam facility, and personnel to include 2 Victim
Advocates, and 1 Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Coordinator. The Victim Advocates provide individual
supportive counseling, crisis intervention, legal advocacy, accompaniment,
information and referral, and other advocacy services. The SANE Coordinator ensures 24-hour response
coverage, documents and collects forensic evidence, conducts forensic rape
examinations, assesses patients for medical treatment, and prepares for
offender prosecution. This legislative
appropriation aims to enhance services historically available to victims of
sexual assault. If grant funding
ceases, the positions will be deleted from the Victim Services complement. The
emergency process was utilized because the new contract was finalized June 14,
2023 and was only accepting electronic signatures through DocuSign and had to be
submitted to DOH by June 30, 2023. No County matching funds are required.

motion to approve: An agreement with CivicPlus, LLC, (CivicPlus) for
County Designated Publicly Accessible Website for Publication of Legal Notices
for an initial term of two years with two additional one-year terms at a
one-time implementation cost of $2,000 and $18,000 for the first term with a 3%
adjustment upon renewal. Summary: Effective January 1, 2023,
the Florida legislature enacted legislation allowing governmental agencies to
post legally required advertisements and public notices on a publicly
accessible website of the County if the cost of publishing on such website is
less than the cost of publishing in a newspaper. The law, among other requirements, provides
that the website be made available to other eligible governmental entities to
post their public advertisements and notices.
Palm Beach County (County) has procured an agreement with CivicPlus,
LLC, which meets all the requirements of the law. The annual cost of advertising in the
newspaper ($248,000 in fiscal year 2021/22) is far greater than the annual cost
of the website. The agreement with CivicPlus includes the cost schedule for the
other governmental agencies if they opt to use the website. The agreement contains indemnification and
liability provisions that differ from that adopted for use by the County under
PPM CW-F-049. In accordance with PPM
CW-F-049, Risk Management and the County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the
language and advised the Department of the associated risks. Due to business needs and the benefits to be
derived from the agreement, Risk Management and the County Attorney’s Office
have agreed to allow the Department to move the agreement forward for Board of
County Commissioner approval. The
agreement provides for CivicPlus to indemnify the County for intentional,
reckless or negligent acts or omissions of CivicPlus. The agreement also provides for a cap of
liability of $300,000 but this cap excludes CivicPlus’ indemnification
obligations. Countywide (AH)

1. Summary: As of February 8,
2023, County-owned real estate (CORE) holdings amounted to 2,595 property
control numbers (PCNs). The vast majority of said holdings, approximately 71%,
are parcels under the control of the Environmental Resources Management (ERM)
and Parks & Recreation (PR) departments. Attachment 1 to this agenda item
provides a detailed count of PCNs per Department of Control (DOC). Discounting
the properties controlled by ERM, PR and the Department of Airports (which
cannot be disposed of without approval of the Federal Aviation Administration),
as of February 8, 2023, there are a total of 179 vacant PCNs (i.e.,
approximately 6.9% of all County-owned PCNs). Out of the 179 vacant PCNs, 121
are under one acre (i.e., 4.7% of all County-owned PCNs or 67.6% of all vacant
PCNs). All but one of the vacant PCNs have assigned future uses or carry
constraints that make development potential questionable at best. Attachment 2
to this agenda item provides a full detail of the 179 vacant CORE holdings,
their corresponding assigned use and/or potential development constraints.
Staff notes that smaller parcels slated for housing, as detailed on Attachment
2, are part of the infill housing project for which schematic design is
underway. The approximately 6.34-acre
parcel located at 5741 Okeechobee Boulevard (Property) has been identified as a
County-owned real estate holding that could be declared surplus as it currently
has no assigned use nor has need for the Property been identified to achieve
any future level of service. See Attachment 3 for an aerial map depicting the
Property. Staff has commissioned a due diligence and fatal flaw analysis to
better inform the development potential of the Property for affordable and/or
workforce housing. Staff recommends declaring the Property surplus and that
staff be authorized to issue an RFP (incorporating the findings of the due
diligence and fatal flaw analysis) to convey or lease the Property for
development of affordable and/or workforce housing. The proposed material terms
for the RFP are included as Attachment 4 to this agenda item. Recent changes to
Florida law (under SB 102) require the County to prepare, by October 1, 2023,
and every three years thereafter, an inventory list of all real property within
its jurisdiction to which the county or any dependent special district within
its boundaries holds fee simple title which is appropriate for use as
affordable housing. If the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approves
staff’s recommendation to declare the Property surplus, staff will proceed to
prepare a public hearing item listing the Property, and any other real property
identified by the seven dependent special districts within the County’s
boundaries, to be considered by the Board during its September 19, 2023 regular
meeting. This agenda item carries no fiscal impact. (Property & Real
