A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the exchange of 1.649
acres of County-owned land in Gardens North County District Park (District
Park) in Palm Beach Gardens for 1.722 acres of land owned by Florida Department
of Transportation (FDOT), without charge and without reservation of phosphate,
mineral, metals, and petroleum rights, pursuant to Section 125.38, Florida
Statutes;
B) accept a Quit Claim Deed from FDOT to Palm Beach County
(County) conveying 1.722 acres of land, without charge and without reservation
of phosphate, mineral, metals, and petroleum rights;
C) approve a County Deed to FDOT, conveying 1.649-acres of
land, without charge and without reservation of phosphate, mineral, metals and
petroleum rights;
D) approve a Second Amendment to Lease Agreement with the City
of Palm Beach Gardens (City) modifying the legal description of the District
Park to be consistent with the land exchange;
E) approve an Amendment and Partial Release of Conservation
Easement of 1.649 acre strip of land along the eastern portion of the
Conservation Easement area modifying the legal description of the District Park
to be consistent with the land exchange;
F) approve a Temporary Construction Easement in favor of FDOT for
the interchange lane at Military Trail South and Interstate 95; and
G) approve a Subordination of Easement Interest to FDOT
subordinating a portion of the easement to grant all the rights necessary to
certify the right of way for the FDOT construction project.
Summary: FDOT desires to expand the deceleration lane off of
Southbound I-95 at the Military Trail South exit. The project requires a strip
of land along the eastern portion of the District Park to complete the
expansion. Although the District Park
property is owned by the County, it is the subject of a Lease Agreement
(R2018-122) between the County and the City and a Conservation Easement
(R2010-2141) in favor of the City. FDOT
has requested 1.649 acres of the District Park property in exchange for 1.722
acres of FDOT property which would be incorporated into the District Park. The
City approved the land swap between the County and FDOT by passing City
Resolution 1, 2024. Amendment No. 2 to
the Lease Agreement and the Amendment and Partial Release of Conservation
Easement between the City and the County modify the legal description in both
documents to release the 1.649-acre County-owned portion and add the 1.722-acre
FDOT-owned portion. The District Park
property is also subject to a Grant of Easements (R2000-0560) with the property
owner to the north, which grant mutual rights to install utilities within the
easement areas as defined in the Grant of Easements.

63 5E2 A Subordination of Easement
Interest is required for FDOT to move forward 64 online with
its expansion. In addition, to begin
construction, FDOT requires a
Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) to tie
in (sloping and grading) to the remaining District Park Property. The TCE
terminates upon completion of the project or December 31, 2034, whichever is
earlier and the Subordination of Easement allows the County to locate any
future facilities onto public right-of-way or to construct facilities on the
subordinated property subject to FDOT’s review and approval. The Quit Claim
Deed, the County Deed, the Amendment and Partial Release of Conservation
Easement and Subordination of Easement Interest will be recorded to provide

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Change Order No. 9 to the contract with Community
Asphalt Corporation (CAC) dated February 6, 2018 (R2018-0139) (Contract) in the
amount of $933,867.11 and a time extension of 277 days for the Australian
Avenue and Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard Intersection Improvements (Project). SUMMARY: Per PPM CW-F-050, the total of Change Order
No. 9 exceeds the threshold of $100,000 and allowable time extensions relating
to staff approvals of change orders to contracts and requires approval by the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC).
Approval of this final change order, Change Order No. 9, will compensate
CAC for costs associated with maintaining the Project while procuring a
specialized de-watering permit from the South Florida Water Management District
(SFWMD) due to an unforeseen groundwater contamination source discovered during
construction; and for other unforeseen issues that developed in the field, as
further described below. The Project was
shut down for two years during the permit application process with the SFWMD at
no fault of CAC. This shutdown caused CAC
to incur additional costs for illegal dumping removal, asphalt repairs, mowing,
traffic control device maintenance, and stormwater pollution prevention
maintenance. Change Order No. 9 includes direct and indirect costs for
differing site conditions, modification of underground drainage, conflicts with
water main and force main, plan revisions, adjustment of water main and force
main tie-in locations, removal of unsuitable material, and adjustments to valve
boxes.

1. SUMMARY (cont’d.): Additionally,
Change Order No. 9 includes the restoration of Australian Avenue, which was
damaged due to a City of West Palm Beach (City) underground water main break.
Upon investigation, it was determined that CAC was not at fault for the break
and the cause was beyond their control. The City will reimburse Palm Beach
County (County) the amount of $117,851.93 for the costs to repair the City’s
facilities. In accordance with the
General Provisions of the Contract, CAC requested an equitable adjustment of
compensation and time on August 31, 2023, and certifies under oath and in
writing that the request is made in good faith; that supportive data provided
is accurate and complete; and that the amount accurately reflects the County’s
responsibility. The Contract was approved on February 6, 2018 for the amount of
$2,457,741.50. The total Contract
amount, including this Change Order and previous change orders, is
$3,812,962.27. Work under the Contract
was completed on January 10, 2022. Due
to multiple management changes at CAC, Change Order No. 9 is now being
finalized. This agenda item is a
companion to Agenda Item 3-C-4 of this May 14, 2024 BCC meeting, for an
amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with the City for joint participation and
project funding for construction of utility adjustments, as well as approval of
a budget amendment for the Project.

1. SUMMARY (cont’d.): The contract was approved prior to the
effective date of the Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance and pursuant to the
Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance at the time. The SBE participation goal for all contracts
was 15%. CAC committed to 8.6% SBE
participation. There is no SBE participation
for this change order. CAC’s cumulative
SBE participation to date, including this change order, is .34%. CAC is a non-SBE, Palm Beach County-based
company. They were unable to fulfill their SBE participation commitment because
they had to utilize non-SBE subcontractors to complete the Change Order work,
due to the absence of any available SBE companies that could perform the
required specialized underground work. District

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Supplement
No. 1 (Supplement) to Consultant Service Authorization No. 7 (CSA) dated

Services Contract dated July 13, 2021 (R2021-0882) (Contract) with Mehta and Associates, Inc. (MAI)
in the amount of $1,496,533.50 for CEI services for Seminole Pratt Whitney Road
from Orange Boulevard to Northlake Boulevard, Project numbers 1997511D and
1997512A3 (Project). SUMMARY: Approval of this Supplement will provide the CEI services necessary
during the construction of the Project. On November 6, 2019 the Goal Setting
Committee applied Affirmative Procurement Initiatives of a 20% minimum
mandatory Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation and an SBE evaluation
preference. MAI agreed to 20% SBE participation for the Contract. MAI agreed to
20.36% SBE participation for this Supplement. Their cumulative SBE
participation to date for the Contract including this supplement is 14.92%. MAI

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Change
Order No. 1 to the contract with Seacoast Inc. (SCI) dated May 3, 2022
(R2022-0389) (Contract) for a time extension of 314 days to the Donald Ross
Road Bascule Bridge (Project). SUMMARY: Per PPM CW-F-050, the time extension in
Change Order No. 1 exceeds allowed staff approval and requires approval by the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC). The
original scope of this Project is for replacement of the hydraulic, electrical,
and mechanical equipment within the existing bridge structure. The 314 day contract time extension is due to
electrical control panel procurement delays. After consulting with Palm Beach
County’s (County) Bridge Section and in order to maintain continuity with all
County draw bridges, it was determined that Alan Bradley control panels as
specified in the construction plans, could not be substituted with items from
another distributor. The start of construction was postponed until all
materials were procured to avoid any disruptions to residents and
motorists. Construction started on
February 19, 2024. The Contract was
approved on May 3, 2022, for the amount of $5,719,660. The total Contract amount, including this
Change Order is $5,719,660. With the approval of this Change Order, the new
revised completion date will be September 5, 2024. On August 30, 2021, the Office of Equal Business
Opportunity (OEBO) granted a waiver of the Affirmative Procurement Initiative
requirements because sufficient qualified Small Minority Women Business
Enterprises (S/M/WBE) providing the goods or services required by the contract
were unavailable in the County, despite every reasonable effort to locate
them. District 1 (YBH)
4. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) receive and file an Amendment to the Interlocal
Agreement with the City of West Palm Beach (City) for joint
participation and project funding for construction of utility adjustments dated
April 10, 2018 (R2018-0367) for Australian Avenue and Palm Beach Lakes
Boulevard (Project); and
B) approve a Budget Amendment of $114,113 in the Road Impact Fee Fund
– Zone 2 to recognize reimbursement funding from the City and appropriate it to
the Project.
SUMMARY: This
Amendment is being submitted to the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller
in accordance with Countywide PPM CW-O-051. The Amendment was approved by the County Engineer as a delegated
authority in accordance with Palm Beach County Administrative Code Section
404.00. The budget amendment is necessary to reflect the funding from the City
for the construction to be incorporated into the County’s Project. This item is
a companion item to the Project’s final Change Order No. 9 (Agenda Item 3-C-1
also on May 14, 2024). These are the last two agenda items
necessary to close out the Project. District 7 (YBH)

necessary to adjust the sidewalk design width to minimize the impact on the
existing trees, and to provide materials and presentations for a series of
additional public and stakeholder meetings for the Project. On October 7, 2020, the Goal Setting

Enterprise (SBE) participation and an SBE evaluation preference. HSQ agreed to 88% SBE participation for the
Contract. They agreed to 100% SBE
participation for this Supplement. Their cumulative SBE participation to date
for the Contract including this Supplement is 84.17%. HSQ has an office located in Palm Beach
County and is a certified SBE company. This
Project is included in the Five-Year Road Program and has infrastructure sales

Summary: DSVS is a service provider for Adult Day Care services licensed through

maintenance of providers’ records. AHCA is responsible for the licensure and regulation of health facilities,
including adult day cares. Adult day cares are required to be licensed by AHCA
with renewal every two (2) years through a licensing application process. The
licensing renewals enable DSVS to continue to operate the adult day cares. DSVS
received notification on February 22, 2024 that AHCA will be implementing Mandatory Online Renewals effective March 5, 2024, in
accordance with Rule 59A-35.060, F.A.C., which states all renewal applicants
must apply online by submitting the online licensure application form, fees,

the new on-line application set-up process for the County. The attached
AHCA Health Care Licensing Application for Renewal is required sixty (60) days

SUMMARY: The Community Action Block Grant (CSBG) agreement requires the establishment of a CAAB which is to participate in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of CSBG programs to serve low-income communities. Community Action Agencies (CAA) were created in the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 on the premise that local citizens were the most knowledgeable and best equipped to address problems of poverty in their communities. Each CAA is governed by a board of no more than 15 directors and/or their designees. Membership consists of one-third elected public officials or their representatives, one-third private sector members recommended by the CAAB, and one-third low-income representatives who are selected through a democratic process within the targeted neighborhoods. This board structure is defined by federal statute and is known as a tripartite board. Board Members will fully participate and provide voice for the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) programs created to serve low-income communities. Florida Department of Commerce, is the primary conduit to receive and disperse these federal funds to the local agency. The Agency then provides services, assistance, and other activities of sufficient scope and size to low-income individuals and families throughout Palm Beach County to give promise of progress toward elimination of poverty or a cause or causes of poverty through developing employment opportunities, improving human performance, motivation, and productivity, or bettering the conditions under which people live, learn, and work. Per Resolution No. R-2018-0372, adopted April 10, 2018, amending Resolution No. R-2014-0588. Ms. Anastasi will complete the “private-sector finance” term of Alesia Keller who resigned from the board.

in 2018 (Ordinance No. 2018-022) to incorporate the necessary references to the
then recently adopted Equal Business Opportunity program (Ordinance No.
2018-021). Although it was adopted in
2015, many of the provisions of the current Code originate in its 2005 version
and warrant revisions to reflect current industry practices and market
conditions. Approximately five years
ago, County staff started working on proposed revisions to the Code. The
proposed revisions were presented to the Board of County Commissioners (Board)
during a Workshop meeting held on February 27, 2024. Following discussion by
the Board of the proposed revisions, staff was directed to 1) consider a
modified approach to the proposed protest bond provisions, 2) return with
recommendations on means to accelerate processing of agenda items to be
considered by the Board, and 3) proceed to preliminary reading of the proposed
ordinance. Preliminary reading of the proposed ordinance took place on April 9,
2024 at which time staff was given permission to advertise for public hearing.

motion to approve:
A)
The assignment of the
Contract for the Operation and Maintenance of Baggage Handling Systems (BHS) at
the Palm Beach International Airport (Contract No. 23-015/MD; R2023-0219)
(Contract) from John Bean Technologies Corporation to Oshkosh AeroTech, LLC
(Oshkosh), formerly known as JBT AeroTech
Corporation; and
B)
First Amendment (Amendment)
to the Contract, increasing the total contract amount by $2,928,626.63 to provide for maintenance
and repair of the BHS at the Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), including
replacement of two baggage claim carousel units.
SUMMARY: On February
7, 2023, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Contract for the
operation, maintenance and repair of the BHS and related systems at PBI with
John Bean Technologies Corporation. John
Bean Technologies Corporation entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement
with JBT AeroTech Corporation on August 1, 2023, which provided for the
assignment of the Contract to JBT AeroTech Corporation. On February 16, 2024, JBT AeroTech
Corporation changed its name to Oshkosh AeroTech, LLC. This item provides for
the County’s approval of the assignment as required by the Contract. The
original contract amount for the period commencing on February 28, 2023, and
ending on February 27, 2025, was $4,417,698.07. The Amendment will increase the
total authorized contract amount to $7,346,324.70. As a result of recent unanticipated equipment
failures, the Department of Airports is recommending replacement of two baggage
claim carousel units to ensure a sufficient number of functional baggage claim
carousel units remain available for use by the airlines to deliver passenger
baggage. Approval of the Amendment will provide funding for the replacement of
damaged baggage claim carousel units and to complete other necessary repairs,
maintenance and improvements to the BHS and related systems, including the
purchase of replacement parts and associated equipment. The Contract required
an update to the controls that sort, scan, encode, transport and deliver
baggage to be completed in the first contract year. The Amendment also extends the
date for completion of the project to a future contract year to prioritize
completion of work to the baggage claim carousel units.

(cont’d.): Airlines utilizing the BHS 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). Oshkosh’s principal
place of business is Orlando, Florida. The Office of Equal Business Opportunity applied a Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) Evaluation Preference for SBE Participation up to 15% as the
Affirmative Procurement Initiative on July 6, 2022. Oshkosh committed to 17.60% SBE
Participation. The SBE participation to date is 13.52%. Pursuant to changes to Chapter 332, Florida
Statutes, effective as of July 1, 2023, a governing body of a medium hub
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 Amendment exceeds the threshold amount and must be approved

motion to approve: The Labor Management Agreement (LMA)
between Palm Tran, Inc. and the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners
(BCC), as joint employer, and the Service Employees International Union,
Florida Public Services Union, CtW, CLC (SEIU) representing 44 regular
full-time, non-professional, supervisory employees of Palm Tran, Inc. for the
three (3) year period of October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026. SUMMARY:
On May 5, 2023 Palm Tran began contract negotiations with SEIU for the purpose
of negotiating the terms and conditions of employment for 44 Palm Tran
employees (Thirty (30) Operations Supervisors and ten (10) Maintenance Supervisors. On March 6, 2024, Palm Tran and SEIU
tentatively agreed to the terms and conditions of the LMA. The Agreement was ratified by SEIU on March
26, 2024. Of the 47 Articles included in
the LMA, 12 were amended during the negotiation process. In general, changes to the non-economic work
rules will allow for increased efficiency and effectiveness of operations. The
negotiated wage article established fair wages by effectively addressing wage
compression between supervisors and their direct subordinate staff. The new
wage article addresses compression by allowing operation supervisors to be paid
three quarters of one percentage point above the top wage bus operators and one
half of one percentage point above the maintenance technicians. This will provide
an 11.95% increase over three (3) years of the agreement for Operations
Supervisors and an 8.25% increase for Maintenance Supervisors. This represents
a wage increase over the term of the agreement of $299,579, and an increase in
uniforms of $22,950 for a total increase of $322,529. Countywide (MM)

Applicability; Providing for Repeal of Laws in Conflict; Providing for
Inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; Providing for a Savings Clause;
Providing for Severability; and Providing for an Effective Date. SUMMARY: The Florida Legislature enacted Florida Statute Section 553.73, mandating
a statewide (FBC) and allowing local governments to adopt their own
Administrative Chapter of the FBC. This proposed ordinance adopts an updated
Chapter 1 “Scope and Administration” of the FBC 8th Edition (2023) applicable to the unincorporated area of Palm
Beach County, and in those municipalities having an Interlocal Agreement for
the provision of County plan review and inspection services. As in past code updates, this Administrative
Chapter 1 is based on the language adopted by the Florida Building Commission,
along with model language developed by the Building Officials Association of
Florida (BOAF), which was further refined by the Palm Beach County Building
Code Advisory Board (BCAB) and adapted specifically to align with Palm Beach County regulations. Figures 1609.3 (1), (2), (3) and (4) have
been modified pursuant to changes in the FBC 8th Edition (2023), in accordance
with Florida Statute Section 553.73 and Section 1609.3 of the FBC, and changes in the reference standard ASCE-7-2022.
This section provides for local governments to clarify and establish specific wind
speed/wind borne debris lines using physical landmarks, whenever possible. This
proposed ordinance also adopts FBC 8th Edition (2023) Appendix Q of the
FBC-Residential volume allowing the construction of tiny houses. This proposed
ordinance also repeals and re-adopts an updated FBC 8th Edition (2023) Appendix
F of the FBC-Plumbing volume regulating new irrigation systems helping to
conserve water and protect the public water supply. These Construction codes
shall apply to all irrigation systems used on residential and commercial
landscape areas, excluding use of reclaimed waters. They address the design
requirements, water quality, materials, installation, inspection and testing
for such systems. These construction codes do not apply to irrigation systems
for golf courses, nurseries, greenhouses, or agricultural production systems. Unincorporated

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of a 8.53 acre parcel of vacant land
located on Bee Line Highway north of Indiantown Road from Ramon Vilarino for
$344,151 plus closing, title insurance and recording costs estimated to be
$2,292; and
B) a Memorandum of Agreement with Ramon
Vilarino to be recorded in the public records to provide notice of this
Agreement.
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 parcel owned by Ramon Vilarino (Vilarino
Parcel) is a road front parcel 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. Appraisals were obtained
from Anderson & Carr, Inc. and M.R. Ford & Associates, Inc. who
assigned a $35,000 and $40,922 per acre value for road frontage parcels in Palm
Beach Heights, respectively. Callaway & Price, Inc. reviewed the appraisals
and concluded a reasonable aggregate value of $40,346 per acre for road
frontage Palm Beach Heights parcels, which is the basis of the purchase
price. The Agreement allow for the
County’s due diligence review of the parcel within 45 days of Board approval. The County will pay title insurance policy
premium, closing and recording costs estimated to be $2,292 for the Vilarino
parcel. The Environmental Resources and Management (ERM) Department will
perform a pre-acquisition environmental assessment for the parcel prior to
closing. A boundary survey will not be
obtained for the parcel due to its environmentally sensitive and wet
nature. ERM will be responsible for the
administration of the parcel. All costs
related to the acquisition will be paid from existing funds received from the
ARPA Response Replacement Fund. These
are County ARPA Response Replacement funds that do not require a local match.
This acquisition must be approved by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners). (Property & Real Estate Management) District

2. Summary: FDOT desires to
expand the deceleration lane off of Southbound I-95 at the Military Trail South
exit. The project requires a strip of land along the eastern portion of the
District Park to complete the expansion.
Although the District Park property is owned by the County, it is the subject
of a Lease Agreement (R2018-122) between the County and the City and a
Conservation Easement (R2010-2141) in favor of the City. FDOT has requested 1.649 acres of the
District Park property in exchange for 1.722 acres of FDOT property which would
be incorporated into the District Park. The City approved the land swap between
the County and FDOT by passing City Resolution 1, 2024. Amendment No. 2 to the Lease Agreement and
the Amendment and Partial Release of Conservation Easement between the City and
the County modify the legal description in both documents to release the
1.649-acre County-owned portion and add the 1.722-acre FDOT-owned portion. The District Park property is also subject to
a Grant of Easements (R2000-0560) with the property owner to the north, which
grant mutual rights to install utilities within the easement areas as defined
in the Grant of Easements. A
Subordination of Easement Interest is required for FDOT to move forward with
its expansion. In addition, to begin
construction, FDOT requires a Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) to tie in
(sloping and grading) to the remaining District Park Property. The TCE
terminates upon completion of the project or December 31, 2034, whichever is
earlier and the Subordination of Easement allows the County to locate any
future facilities onto public right-of-way or to construct facilities on the
subordinated property subject to FDOT’s review and approval. The Quit Claim
Deed, the County Deed, the Amendment and Partial Release of Conservation Easement
and Subordination of Easement Interest will be recorded to provide public
notice of the land exchange. FDOT will
execute the Subordination of Easement prior to finalizing the land exchange. Staff will complete its due diligence review
of the property prior to finalizing the land exchange. There are no costs
associated with the approval of this agenda item. (Property & Real Estate

SUMMARY: The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) agreement requires the establishment of a CAAB and that CAAB participate in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of CSBG programs to serve low-income communities. Community Action Agencies (CAA) were created in the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 on the premise that local citizens were the most knowledgeable and best equipped to address problems of poverty in their communities. Each CAA is governed by a board of directors consisting of at least one-third low-income community members, one-third public officials, and up to one-third private sector leaders. This board structure is defined by federal statute and is known as a tripartite board. Florida Department of Commerce is the primary conduit to receive and disperse these federal funds to the local agency. The Agency provides services, assistance, and other activities of sufficient scope and size to give promise of progress toward elimination of poverty or a cause or causes of poverty through developing employment opportunities, improving human performance, motivation, and productivity, or bettering the conditions under which people live, learn, and work to low-income individuals and families throughout Palm Beach County. Per Resolution No. R2018-0372, adopted April 10, 2018, amending Resolution R2014-0588. These candidates meet all applicable guidelines and requirements outlined in the resolution. The diversity count for the 12 seats that are currently filled is African-American: 8 (66%); Caucasian: 3 (25%); and Hispanic-American: 1 (9%). The gender ratio (female: male) is 7:5. Ms. Burns is an African-American female; Ms. Ayala is a Hispanic-American female; Mr. Leslie is a Caucasian male; and Mr. Maples is an African-American male. Staff is addressing the need to increase diversity within our Board and will continue to encourage this to expand this board’s diversity. (Community Action Program) Countywide (HH)
