C. ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: Change Order No. 3 in the amount of $522,091.20 and a contract time extension of 180 days to the contract dated October 19, 2021 (R2021-1465) (Contract) with Ranger Construction Industries, Inc. (Ranger) for Seminole Pratt Whitney Road from Orange Boulevard to south of Northlake Boulevard, and Seminole Pratt Whitney Road and Northlake Boulevard Intersection Improvements (Project). SUMMARY: Per PPM CW-F-050, the total of this Change Order exceeds the threshold of $100,000 and allowable time extensions relating to staff approvals of change orders to contracts and requires the Board of County Commissioners approval. Approval of Change Order No. 3 will provide a 180 day contract time extension and compensate Ranger for both direct and indirect costs incurred due to delays in the relocation of existing concrete poles and overhead wires by Florida Power and Light Company (FPL), which conflicted with approximately 1200 feet of proposed construction along the south side of Northlake Boulevard. Palm Beach County (County) and FPL had special coordination meetings, which included this Project on August 24, 2021, and December 9, 2021. FPL also attended the preconstruction meeting on February 7, 2022. The Notice to Proceed was issued to Ranger on February 15, 2022. On April 1, 2022, FPL received notification that the area was cleared and prepared for their relocation. FPL did not mobilize to start the relocations until July 28, 2022, and did not complete the relocation until January 25, 2023. The Contract was approved on October 19, 2021, for the amount of $17,999,999. The previous Change Order amount of $10,334.79 plus this Change Order amount of $522,091.20, has a total of $532,425.99 in Change Orders. The Contract’s total value including this Change Order and previous change orders is $18,532,424.99. The County is obligated by the Contract to pay for this Change Order No. 3; however, the County will seek reimbursement from FPL for the delay. The Affirmative Procurement Initiative selected for this Contract on March 4, 2020, by the Goal Setting Committee is a 20% minimum mandatory Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation. Ranger committed to 20.2% SBE participation for this Contract. The estimated SBE participation for this Change Order is 19.5%. Their cumulative SBE participation for this contract, including this Change Order, is 20.1%. District 6 (YBH)

2. Staff recommends motion to:

A) approve a contract with Rosso Site Development, Inc. (RSD) in the amount of $7,658,620.34 with a contract time of 460 calendar days for the construction of Westgate Avenue from Wabasso Drive to Congress Avenue (Project); and

B) approve a Budget Amendment of $3,700,616 in the Capital Outlay Fund to recognize reimbursement funding from the Westgate Belvedere Homes Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and appropriate it to the Project.

SUMMARY: Approval of this contract will authorize the construction services necessary to convert Westgate Avenue from five lanes to three lanes, add bike lanes, sidewalks, parking areas, and street lighting for the Project. Approval of the Budget Amendment will recognize reimbursement funding from the CRA. Because this Project is funded by a federal grant (R2021-1896) through the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) Local Agency Program (LAP), the Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance is not applicable. FDOT requested that Palm Beach County (County), a certified LAP agency, enter into the LAP grant agreement on behalf of the CRA, and the CRA and the County entered into an Interlocal Agreement (R2021-1897), whereby the CRA agreed to be responsible for all costs above the grant amount and maintenance of the improvements after the Project is complete. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for R2021-1896 is 20.205 Highway Planning and Construction. Bids for the contract were received by the Engineering Department on June 20, 2023. RSD was the lowest responsive bidder of two bidders. The contract time for the Project is 460 calendar days. District 7 (YBH)

Staff recommends motion to approve: Supplement No. 3 (Supplement) to the Australian Avenue Drainage Improvements from Banyan Boulevard to 45^th Street (Project) Contract (R2022-0335), dated April 12, 2022 (Contract) with HSQ Group, LLC (HSQ) in the amount of $482,294.03 for professional services for the Project. SUMMARY: Approval of this Supplement will provide the professional services necessary to locate identified and unidentified utilities, to obtain an additional survey for trees and wetland mitigation, and to complete a bridge scour report for the Project. On October 7, 2021, the Goal Setting Committee applied Affirmative Procurement Initiatives of a 20% minimum mandatory Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation and an SBE evaluation preference. HSQ agreed to 88% SBE participation for the Contract. They agreed to 63.31% SBE participation for this Supplement. Their cumulative SBE participation to date for the Contract including this Supplement is 90.35%. HSQ has an office located in Palm Beach County and is a certified SBE company. The Contract was approved on April 12, 2022, for the amount of $2,679,239.13. The Contract’s total value including this Supplement and previous supplements is $3,305,674.16. This Project is included in the Five-Year Road Program and the infrastructure sales tax. District 7 (YBH)

D. ATTORNEY

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment 1 to the Agreement with the law firm of Fowler White Burnett, P.A., (Firm) exercising the County’s remaining three (3) year renewal option through September 30, 2026, increasing the contract not-to-exceed cap from $150,000 to $200,000 and increasing the maximum loan closing services fee for HUD Section 108 loan closings from $5,000 to $6,500, to be paid by borrowers as loan closing costs. Summary: The County, through HED, processes a variety of loans to qualified businesses through various loan programs, including, but not limited to, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 108 Loan Program; U.S. Department of Agriculture Intermediary Relending Program; U.S. Environmental Protections Agency Revolving Loan Program; U.S. Department of Energy Revolving Loan Program; and the County’s Micro Loan Program funded under the HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The requirements associated with the unique funding sources of these loans require specialized knowledge and, as such, HED currently utilizes the services of the Firm to assist in loan closings, the handling of foreclosure matters on defaulted loans, and other related services. This Agreement allows for HED to continue utilizing the Firm for such specialized services, increases the not-to-exceed cap by $50,000 to allow flexibility in bringing the pending foreclosure actions to conclusion, and increases the closing costs associated with loan closings by $1,500 to account for increased costs of legal representation. These loan closing costs are paid by the borrowers, not the County. Countywide (DB).

E. COMMUNITY SERVICES

1. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) Amendment No. 1 to the Homeless Resource Center (HRC) Contract for Provision of Services with Gulfstream Goodwill Industries, Inc. (GGI) (R2021-1468), to extend the date from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2024, and to increase funding by $2,300,244, for a new total contract amount not-to-exceed $6,900,732, for the provision of emergency shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness; and

B) Amendment No. 2 to Contract for Provision of Services with GGI Annex (R2020-0388), to extend the date from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2024, and to increase funding by $2,412,452, for a new total contract amount not-to-exceed $10,396,484, for the provision of emergency shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness.

Summary: Amendment No. 1 to HRC Contract for Provision of Services (R2021-1468) is necessary to amend the original contract period to allow GGI to continue providing case management, navigation, employment counseling, and engagement to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Palm Beach County. From October 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, GGI served 372 individuals. Amendment No. 2 to Contract for Provision of Services (R2020-0388) is necessary to amend the original contract period to provide additional time for the completion and relocation of individuals experiencing homelessness from the Senator Philip D. Lewis Center Annex (Lewis Center Annex) to the new Homeless Resource Center 2 (HRC2) in Lake Worth. On February 25, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the Sheltering and Housing Strategy Annex to “Leading the Way Home – Palm Beach County’s Plan to End the Cycle of Homelessness (Leading the Way Home). This amendment allows for the continuation of the utilization of the Lewis Center Annex facility for emergency shelter until the new HRC2 in Lake Worth is completed. GGI currently operates three (3) shelters for the County — the HRC, the Lewis Center Annex, and Lake Village of the Glades - Melissa’s Place. The Lake Village of the Glades - Melissa’s Place contract will be renewed on November 7, 2023. At that time, the County intends to combine the three contracts into one contract in order to reduce the administrative burden of managing three (3) separate contracts. From October 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, GGI served 514 individuals. GGI will continue providing shelter and housing opportunities for persons experiencing homelessness utilizing a housing focused model similar to the successful Senator Phillip D. Lewis HRC and the future HRC2 is expected to open in the Fall 2023. (Division of Human and Community Action) Countywide (HH)

Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 2 to Contract for Provision of Services with Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR) (R2022-0269), to amend, revise and extend the end date from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2025, and to increase the total amount by $120,000, for a new total contract amount not-to-exceed $240,000, for the provision of providing education, training, and engaging FARR certified recovery residences regarding the Recovery Capital Index (RCI). Summary: The FARR Recovery Capital Initiative seeks to educate, train and engage FARR certified recovery residences regarding the Recovery Capital Index (RCI). RCI is a peer-reviewed, validated tracking instrument that measures recovery wellness and assessment of intervention effectiveness. RCI will provide education and training on Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)/Medication Assisted Recovery (MAR) to FARR certified residences, owners and staff; help develop best practices and compliance in following medical prescriptions for individuals utilizing MAT/MAR; and educate owners to broaden acceptance of MAT/MAR in recovery residences. Palm Beach County has an interest in appropriately measuring long-term recovery outcomes in the recovery residence environment through the use of RCI. The aim of the project is to build recovery capital capacity within FARR certified recovery residences in Palm Beach County. The intent is to foster an environment that maximizes a resident’s opportunity to achieve long-term recovery through education, monitoring and measuring outcomes. FARR currently has 103 housing providers certified statewide, representing 1,492 locations and 6,384 beds. Palm Beach County accounts for 51 of the statewide recovery residence programs (49.5 %), representing 635 locations (42.5 %) and 2,712 beds (42.5%). Housing stability is a key predictor of achieving long-term recovery outcomes. As such, Palm Beach County has a keen interest in ensuring that recovery residences certified in the county are rigorously screened and monitored to provide safe and stable housing environments. Thus, another aim of this initiative is to make sure that FARR has sufficient capacity to also achieve housing stability for recovery residence residents utilizing the RCI.

Summary: On October 20, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved Resolution No. R2015-1528 which authorized the issuance of the Series 2015C and Series 2015D bonds. The taxable Series 2015C Bonds and the tax exempt Series 2015D Bonds were for the purpose of funding the construction of a Professional Sports Franchise Facility known as the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches (BPPB), and to pay the cost of issuance of the bonds. The County’s $135,000,000 funding obligation has been fulfilled and proceeds in that amount expended for delivery of BPPB. The reserves in funds 3078 and 3079 are due to interest earned on the bond proceeds and staff is recommending that the $1,583,102 residual funds balance be allocated to the BPPB R/R project. Bond counsel has approved the use of the residual funds from Fund 3078 and Fund 3079 to fund the BPPB R/R project. The original proceeds in Fund 3079 were tax-exempt and since the related refunding bond’s escrow does not discharge until 2025, the remaining tax-exempt bond proceeds must go to the BPPB R/R project.

~~10. Staff recommends motion to r~~~~eceive and file:~~ the “HOUSING FOR ALL; A Countywide Housing Action Plan for Palm Beach County” (Plan) prepared by the Housing Leadership Council of Palm Beach County (HLC). SUMMARY: The HLC is a non-for-profit organization founded in 2006 by community and business leaders to address workforce/affordable housing issues. The HLC led a Countywide effort to study the housing crisis in Palm Beach County and to develop a Plan to serve as a blueprint to achieve a significant increase in workforce and affordable housing. The goal of the HLC’s Plan is to produce, rehabilitate and preserve 20,000 units of workforce and affordable housing by 2032. The Plan focused on four areas of opportunity: Funding & Financing, Planning & Regulatory Reform, Neighborhood Revitalization & Community Development, and Racial Equity. County Departments including the Housing & Economic Development, Planning Zoning & Building, Community Services and Office of Community Revitalization worked with the HLC to provide comments and analysis.

1. Staff recommends motion to:

A) approve a “Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement (At Utility Expense)” (UWHCA) with Florida’s Department of Transportation (FDOT) in the amount of $461,757.28;

B) approve a Three Party Escrow Agreement between the FDOT, Palm Beach County and the State of Florida Department of Financial Services Division of Treasury (Escrow Agent);

C) authorize the County Administrator, or designee, to approve increased utility relocation costs up to a cumulative project cost of $650,000; and

D) approve a “Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement (At FDOT Expense)” (UWHCA) with FDOT.

Summary: FDOT is proposing improvements to State Road 806 (Atlantic Avenue) from west of State Road 7/US 441 to east of Lyons Road. These proposed improvements will necessitate the relocation of an existing 8-inch water main and an existing 12-inch force main on Atlantic Avenue. In order to include the utility work within the FDOT road improvement project and to provide FDOT the authorization to undertake the relocation of the aforementioned facilities, FDOT requires the County to enter into the UWHCA in the amount of $461,757.28. Inclusion of the utility relocation work in the FDOT road improvement project will save costs and ensure that the project is not delayed due to the complexity of the required work. Due to the location of some of the existing infrastructure, FDOT will be undertaking that portion of the work at no cost to the County. The consultant for FDOT will prepare the relocation plan and the construction will be performed by FDOT’s contractor. In certain circumstances, the lowest responsive and responsible bid for the utility work to be undertaken as part of the FDOT project is higher than the authorized amount of the UWHCA. If the bid exceeds the official cost estimate by more than 10%, the County is required to notify FDOT in writing within 10 days if the work will still be performed as part of the road improvement project or if the utility will elect to have the utility work removed from the FDOT contract. Given the complexity of the project, removal of the utility relocation work would result in project delays, oversight conflicts and additional project costs. Therefore, staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) authorize the County Administrator or her designee to approve any increase in utility relocation costs up to a cumulative project cost of $650,000. Any approval of an increase will be brought back to the BCC as a Receive and File item at the next available meeting. (PBCWUD Project No. 23-041) District 5 (MWJ)

The Project is included in the PBCWUD FY23 budget. (PBCWUD Project No. 18-022) The $3,500,000 grant requires a $3,500,000 (50%) match which will be funded from a one-time expenditure from Water Utilities user fees, connection fees and balance brought forward. 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 PBCWUD 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 PBCWUD to move the agreement forward for Board of County Commissioner approval.

Summary: In December 1994, the Board authorized Fire Rescue to transport critically ill/injured patients and bill for those services. The County contracts with a private company for these billings and collections services. The County receives payment from a number of sources, including commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and private individuals.

After adjustments of $15,703,177.76, required under the guidelines of the Medicare/Medicaid programs, the balance of $13,075,365.90 is currently deemed to be uncollectible. This balance is primarily due to partial payments, insurance denial based on medical necessity, the inability to obtain accurate patient and/or insurance information, and patients without medical coverage or high deductibles.

1. Staff recommends motion to adopt: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, repealing Chapter 14, Article II, Section 14-82, et seq., Palm Beach County Code, Ordinance No. 2022-027, “Notice of Termination of Residential Tenancies and Rental Payment Increase Ordinance”; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; and providing for effective date. Summary: On September 13, 2022, the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) enacted Chapter 14, Article II, Section 14-82, et seq., Palm Beach County Code, Ordinance No. 2022-027, referred to as the “Notice of Termination of Residential Tenancies and Rental Payment Increase Ordinance” (Ordinance). On March 3, 2023, the Florida House of Representatives filed HB 1417, referred to as the “Residential Tenancies Bill”. On the same day, a similar bill, SB 1586, was filed by the Florida Senate. On June 29, 2023, the Residential Tenancies Bill was signed by Governor Ron DeSantis and became law. The new law preempts to the state the regulation of residential tenancies, the landlord-tenant relationship, and all other matters covered under the Residential Tenancies part of Chapter 83, Florida Statutes. Section 83.425, Florida Statutes supersedes any local government regulations on matters including, but not limited to: the screening process used by a landlord in approving tenancies; security deposits; rental agreement applications and fees associated with such applications; terms and conditions of rental agreements; the rights and responsibilities of the landlord and tenant; disclosures concerning the premises, the dwelling unit, the rental agreement, or the rights and responsibilities of the landlord and tenant; fees charged by the landlord; or notice requirements. The law also amends Section 83.57, F.S. by extending the notice required for termination of month to month tenancies from 15 days to 30 days, and amends Section 83.575(1), F.S. by changing the notice required for termination of tenancies with specific duration to provide that such tenancies may not require less than 30 days' notice or more than 60 days' notice of termination from either the tenant or the landlord. This law became effective on July 1, 2023. Countywide (MM)

B. AIRPORTS

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: the Purchasing Department’s issuance of an

award letter for a six-month extension of the Term Contract for Janitorial Services at the Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) (Term Contract) with Triangle Services of Florida, Inc. d/b/a Triangle Services (Triangle) for the period commencing October 1, 2023, and ending March 31, 2024, per Master Agreement #17032D, for an amount not to exceed $2,500,000. Summary: The Term Contract ends on September 30, 2023, with no further renewal options. This item will authorize the extension of the Term Contract by the Purchasing Department for six additional months. Request for Proposal No. 23-057/MD was issued by the Purchasing Department on April 25, 2023, for a new janitorial services contract for PBI. The Selection Committee recommended the award of the contract to Flagship Airport Services, Inc. (Flagship); however, a protest was subsequently filed and upheld by the Purchasing Director on June 26, 2023. The Selection Committee reconvened on July 10, 2023, and Notice of Intent to Award to Flagship was posted on July 14, 2023. Due to the delay caused by the protest, additional time is required to finalize the new contract and provide a sufficient period of time for Flagship to onboard staff to perform the required services. In the event the full six-month extension is not required, the County may terminate the Term Contract for convenience. The amount approved for the current 12-month period, commencing on October 1, 2022, and ending on September 30, 2023, was $3,600,000. The Term Contract provides for the payment of an annual management fee of $153,800 paid in equal monthly installments of $12,816.66. Expenses, including employee wages and benefits, are paid on a reimbursement basis in accordance with a budget approved by the Department of Airports. In consideration of the extension, Triangle requested an increase in the management fee of $1,922.50 per month for a monthly management fee of $14,739.16. Triangle also requested wage increases for custodians, supervisors and the manager as a part of the budget for the extended period. Wage increases are typically requested on an annual basis as a part of the budgeting process. The total not to exceed amount for the extension will be $2,500,000, which is estimated based upon the management fee and projected reimbursable expenses. Triangle is located outside Palm Beach County in the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Term Contract was advertised pursuant to the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance in place at the time with an SBE goal of 15%. Triangle committed to 18% SBE participation. The cumulative SBE participation to date is 19.61%. Pursuant to changes to Chapter 332, Florida Statutes, effective July 1, 2023, a governing body of a commercial service airport may not approve purchases of contractual services in excess of $1,000,000 provided in Section 287.017, Florida Statutes, on a consent agenda.

The organization has developed, owned, and operated 349 affordable housing units across Belle Glade, Pahokee, and South Bay. NDC has entered into a contract to purchase from Harper Courts Inc., an unoccupied motel located at 308 N. Main Street, Belle Glade, that will be converted into 18 studio apartments for low income renters, including those at risk of homelessness or experiencing housing instability. Residents will have access to comprehensive social services, job placements, and mental health support through a partnership with the Belle Glade Housing Authority and other local organizations. Staff recommends a CDBG-CV forgivable loan of $1,713,000 to partially fund costs of acquisition and rehabilitation. NDC will provide $354,000 of cash equity towards the total development cost of $2,172,000, and will defer a $105,000 developer fee. NDC will be responsible for securing all necessary operational funding throughout the period of affordability. All housing units will be restricted for affordable rental to tenants with incomes no greater than 80% of Area Median Income for no less than 50 years. The County funding contribution equates to $95,167 per affordable housing unit, with the County as first lienholder. The funding agreement and related documents pursuant to these County funds will be between the County and NOAH Development Corporation or its respective successors and/or assigns. To facilitate project implementation, staff requests authorization for the County Administrator, or designee, to execute the funding agreement and related documents. These are CDBG-CV grant funds that do not require a local match. District 6 (HJF)
