The bid for the contract was received by the Engineering and Public Works (EPW) Department on October 31, 2023. SWI agreed to 100% SBE participation. SWI was the only responsive bidder.  SWI has an office located in the County and is a certified SBE company.

3.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Change Order No. 4 to Amendment No. 3 (Change Order) to the Construction Manager (CM) at Risk Contract (Contract) with The Turner Construction Company (Turner) to extend the time of substantial completion by 338 calendar days for Work Order TC 02: Switchgear Replacement (Project) at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI).  Summary:  The Project provides for electrical improvements for the PBI Terminal Complex. The Project was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on December 7, 2021 (R2021-1881) in the amount of $12,578,174 for a period of 859 calendar days from the notice to proceed. Change Orders 1-3 were approved pursuant to the delegated authority provided in PPM CW-F-050 associated with the sales tax exemption program, reducing the Contract amount by $4,100,000 for the direct purchase of electrical equipment.  The current cumulative Contract amount is $8,478,174.  Approval of this Change Order will extend the timeframe for substantial completion of the Project by 338 calendar days for a total Contract duration of 1,197 calendar days and compensate Turner for extended CM services, including supervision, bonds, insurance, overhead and profit.  The time extension is primarily due to the delay in the shipment of switchgear caused by manufacturing delays and the need to coordinate the work with Florida Power & Light (FPL).  Costs associated with the extension of CM services will be paid from contingency and allowances within the guaranteed maximum price. Therefore, this Change Order does not increase the cumulative Contract amount.  A Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 12% was established for this Contract.  The DBE participation for this Change Order is 0%. The DBE participation for this Project, including this Change Order, is 18.5%.  The cumulative DBE participation for the Contract, including this Change Order, is 17.0%.  Countywide (AH)

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Consultant Services Authorization (CSA) No. 4 to the annual structural engineering services contract (R2023-0260) with Alan Gerwig & Associates, Inc. (Consultant) in the amount of $127,052.39 for the Jupiter Beach Park Grounds Bridge Superstructure Replacement project.  Summary: On March 14, 2023, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the annual structural engineering services contract (R2023-0260) with the Consultant to provide consulting services/design professional services for various projects. This item will authorize professional services for CSA No. 4 for the Jupiter Beach Park Grounds Bridge Superstructure Replacement project. The Parks and Recreation Department desires to replace the existing pedestrian and vehicular bridge superstructure which leads to picnic island since it is failing and in need of replacement. Under CSA No. 4, the Consultant will provide professional services (i.e. design, construction document preparation, permitting and construction administration phase services) necessary to replace the existing bridge superstructure with a prefabricated steel bridge of the same geometric cross section. The annual structural engineering services contract was presented to the Goal Setting Committee on January 5, 2022 and the Committee established Affirmative Procurement Initiatives (APIs) of a minimum mandatory 20% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation, of which 5% must be Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation for African American businesses and an SBE evaluation preference for the selection. The Consultant committed to 98% SBE participation, of which 15% must be M/WBE participation for African American businesses. However, unbeknownst to the County, the firm was sold to a non-SBE firm prior to the proposal submission deadline for this CSA. As such, the Consultant is no longer a certified SBE. Based on this information, the Consultant’s SBE participation for this CSA is reduced to 32.98% of which 9.38% is from African American owned businesses. To date, the overall SBE participation on the contract is 56.09% of which 10.99% is from African American owned businesses. Funding for this project is from the Park Improvement Fund.

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Consultant Services Authorization (CSA) No. 31 to the continuing consulting services/design professional services contract (R2019-1899) with Colomé & Associates, Inc. (Consultant) in the amount of $166,918.52 for the Main County Courthouse (MCCH) High Roof Replacement and Window Washing Anchors 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. This item will authorize professional services necessary for CSA No. 31 for the MCCH High Roof Replacement and Window Washing Anchors project. The existing 11th floor flat roof and flashing systems, which is approximately 47,500 square feet, has outlived its useful life and is in need of replacement. Under CSA No. 31, the Consultant will provide professional services (i.e., design, construction document preparation, cost estimating, permitting, bidding and construction administration phase services) necessary for the replacement of the existing flat roof system with a new built-up roofing system, including new flashing systems, new window washing anchors at select locations and the replacement of roof mounted restroom and smoke evacuation fans at select locations for the MCCH High Roof Replacement and Window Washing Anchors project. The new roofing system will provide years of weather tight protection. 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 business enterprise (SBE) subcontracting goal on the contract and an SBE evaluation preference for the selection. The Consultant committed to an SBE participation goal of 85%. The SBE participation on this CSA is 83.79%. To date, the SBE participation on the contract is 84.82%. The Consultant is a certified small woman owned business enterprise (S/WBE) and a Palm Beach County business. Funding for this project is from the Public Building Improvement Fund.

3.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Change Order No. 4 to Amendment No. 5 to the continuing Construction Manager (CM) at Risk Services contract (R2016-0763) with The Weitz Company, LLC for the Main County Courthouse (MCCH) 4th Floor Magistrate Hearing Room project in the amount of $375,297.65, increasing the project duration by 1,044 calendar days.  Summary: On October 20, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved Amendment No. 5 (R2020-1574) to the continuing CM at Risk Services contract with The Weitz Company, LLC (Weitz), establishing a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) in the amount of $1,396,965 for construction of the MCCH 4th Floor Magistrate Hearing Room project. Change Order No. 4 to Amendment No. 5 (Change Order No. 4) authorizes the labor, materials and fees associated with added scope of work to address security/safety concerns and demobilization/remobilization costs (as per General Condition 23 of the contract with Weitz), in the amount of $375,297.65. As a result of the need for additional preventative measures in security/safety, the Courts system requested that changes be made to the project after the start of construction. The need to define the additional work, revise drawings for permitting (4th floor added custom glass barrier screen wall), limitations in the availability of specified materials and extended delivery times, contributed to the requested additional time and compensation.  Change Order No. 4 increases the project duration by 1,044 calendar days.  The continuing CM at Risk Services contract was presented to the Goal Setting Committee on February 20, 2019 and the Committee established an Affirmative Procurement Initiative (API) of a mandatory 20% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) subcontracting goal on the contract. The SBE participation for this Change Order is 3.04%. To date, the overall SBE participation for the contract is 23.48%. The Weitz Company, LLC is a local business. Funding for this project is from the Infrastructure Sales Tax Fund. (Capital Improvements Division) District 7 (MWJ)

Summary: The Delray Beach Police Department’s COT aims to connect and provide alternative diversion services to those who are dealing with mental illness, experiencing homelessness, or battling addiction in the City of Delray Beach.  On February 7, 2023, an Interlocal Agreement (R2023-0199) with  FAU was approved to perform a process and outcome evaluation of the COT.  Funding for this evaluation was originally submitted to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) through a grant application request.  It was noted that in the event FDLE did not approve the grant application, funding would be provided from the Crime Prevention Trust Fund (CPTF).  A transfer of $62,981 from the CPTF was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on September 19, 2023 (R2023-1326), which established the budget needed to process payment to FAU for FY23.  This transfer from the CPTF will fund the remainder of the payments for FAU for FY24-25, as FDLE did not approve the grant application. Since the program began in 2017 through 2023, the COT has served 2,414 clients.  Countywide (HH)

A.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

 

1.         Summary: PBSO’s Traffic Division is currently dispersed throughout multiple countywide PBSO facilities, lacking a central point of operations.  The breathalyzer testing unit (BAT) under the PBSO Traffic Division currently operates from the Main Detention Center (3228 Gun Club Road, West Palm Beach) and has outgrown its assigned space.  In late October 2023, PBSO Staff approached County Staff inquiring if an alternate location to site the operations of the Traffic Division could be identified. Review and inspection of available County-owned properties led to buildings U and X at the Stockade being determined as suitable to house the Traffic Division. The Stockade is a detention-grade facility and historically its primary user has been PBSO. The two buildings in question are currently unoccupied. In order to ready the Stockade to be occupied by the operations section of the PBSO Traffic Division, staff will need to complete renewal/replacement work on a portion of building U and the entirety of building X.  Staff believes the extent of the required work to be within its approved budget for countywide renewal/replacement projects and as such, is able to immediately proceed.  In order to ready the Stockade to be occupied by the BAT section of the PBSO Traffic Division, staff will need to retain professional design services to up fit the remaining portion of building U to receive the specialized equipment utilized by the BAT section.  Staff estimates that $4.5M worth of improvements will be required. This project is not currently authorized under the FY24 capital improvements program (CIP). Therefore, staff is recommending it be authorized to proceed with design of the improvements.  If so authorized, staff will submit the project for consideration by the Board as part of the FY25 capital budget approval process.  To fund the design phase, Staff recommends it be authorized to use the $100,000 received under the LATCF Grant CFDA 21.032. As approved by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on April 4, 2023 (see Attachment 2) said funds were slated to repair the PBSO IT Room at the North County Courthouse. Shortly after approval, PBSO notified staff that it had determined to relocate its IT operations to another location.  As a result, the grant funds remain unspent and staff is requesting it be authorized to utilize them towards Project implementation. Buildings U and X at the Stockade are separate and different from those renovated in 2020 to serve as a temporary homeless resource center (also known as the Lewis Center Annex). The buildings vacated by the Lewis Center Annex will remain unoccupied and unaltered in order to preserve the County’s investment towards its renovation.

B.        OFFICE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT & BUDGET

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A)  adopot a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida (Board) approving Fiscal Year 2024 Capital Budget Transfers and Amendments to appropriate reserves to capital projects per the Fiscal Year 2024 Mid-Year Budget Amendment that was brought to the Board on March 12, 2024;

 

B)   approve a Budget Transfer of $50 million in the General Fund to Transfer funds to the Transportation Improvement Fund (3500) and to the Capital Outlay Fund (3900) to fund the shortfall of Capital Projects;

 

C)  approve a Budget Amendment of $38,902,000 in the Transportation Improvement Fund (3500) to recognize the transfer from the General Fund and appropriate to projects; and

 

D)  approve a Budget Amendment of $11,098,000 in the Capital Outlay Fund (3900) to recognize the transfer from the General Fund and appropriate to projects.

 

Summary: At the January 30, 2024 Budget Workshop, staff presented a list of capital projects with a funding shortfall and strategies to cover the shortfall. One of the strategies was to provide funding from the mid-year Budget Amendment to cover some of these shortfalls, rather than placing the full amount into General Fund Reserves.  On March 12, 2024, staff brought forward the mid-year Budget Amendment placing $50 million into a specific reserve for this purpose.  This item transfers the $50 million from the General Fund and appropriates it to various road projects within Engineering & Public Works as detailed in Attachment 4.  Countywide (DB)

annexation by the Town of Haverhill (Town).  Summary: Palm Beach County received a filing for annexation from the Town (February 22, 2024). The Town seeks to voluntarily annex approximately 12.553 acres (5 parcels) of land that are proposed to be redeveloped into a single development. All five parcels are contiguous with each other and although they abut the Town (as noted on the enclosed map), they are not contiguous to the Town as defined by Section 171.031(3), Florida Statutes. The proposed annexation, if it became effective, would create a portion of the Town that would not become a unified whole with the rest of the Town and its residents.    A summary of the request is provided below:
