A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: A Resolution
amending the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) in Palm Beach County Fee
Schedule (Resolution R2019-0889) to adopt this updated fee schedule as outlined
below. Summary: This Resolution
amends the fee schedule approved on June 18, 2019, (R2019-0889) by clarifying
language, increasing specific fees and establishing new fees for services.
First, the Resolution provides clarifying language by removing an age reference
for adult immunizations, adding language that no adult will be charged for
immunizations if the immunizations are sought for admittance to, or attendance
at, a private or public school up to grade twelve as stated in Section 1003.22,
Florida Statutes. Next the Resolution removes an age reference from childhood
immunizations referencing Section 1003.22, Florida Statutes. The Resolution
also corrects and updates medical record copying charge language to align with
the statute. The Resolution increases
the fee for US citizenship and immigration services physical from $250 to $400
and adds $5 fees for processing immunization forms and record processing. It also adds a vital statistics fee of $1 for
standard U.S. postal delivery and a credit card service fee of $2. The cost of
plastic sleeves for birth and death certificates is increased from $3 to $5.
This resolution updates the Sexually Transmitted Disease medical and laboratory
assessment and treatment for self-pay uninsured to the Medicaid rate. The Resolution removes the Dental Services
Relative Value Unit table and provides clarifying language indicating the fee
is at the Medicaid rate. Additionally,
the Resolution removes Section D Graphic Reproduction fee of non-medical
documents (print shop) for other State or non-profit agencies actual cost as
the FDOH no longer provides these services. Finally, the resolution adds Section
2. Sliding Fee Scale, defining the
sliding fee scales used by the FDOH pursuant to Section
154.011,(1),(c),7, Florida Statutes, and Rule 64F-16 FAC Countywide (HH)

Coast Garage Door LLC Non-Local Non-SBE
Summary: On October 17, 2023, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved the annual overhead door replacement contract
(R2023-1546). The work consists of overhead door replacement services to
County-owned properties on an as needed basis. The contractor now joins the
list of one (1) prequalified contractor for a total of two (2) prequalified
contractors with a contract expiration date of October 16, 2028. The specific
requirements of the work will be determined by individual work orders issued
against this annual overhead door replacement contract. These contracts are
five (5) year indefinite-quantity contracts with a maximum cumulative value of
$5,000,000 across all prequalified contractors. Work will be awarded as work
orders on a lump-sum, competitively bid basis across all prequalified
contractors. Contractors may qualify at any time and be added to this annual
overhead door replacement contract before the term ends. Projects less than
$150,000 are bid among the pool of prequalified contractors. Projects $150,000
or greater are advertised on the vendor self-service (VSS) website and are bid
among the pool of pre-qualified contractors while projects $200,000 or greater
are additionally advertised in the newspaper. The bidding pool is further
expanded, for projects $150,000 or greater, to include additional bidders
responding to the specific project advertisement that submit a qualification
application at least ten (10) calendar days before the bid due date. The annual
overhead door replacement services
contract was presented to the Goal Setting Committee on April 5, 2023 and the
Committee established Affirmative Procurement Initiatives (APIs) of a sheltered
market for projects less than $100,000 (when three (3) or more small businesses
are qualified under the annual contract) or a Small Business Enterprise (SBE)
contractor will be given a price preference if its bid is within 10% of the
lowest non-small business bid for projects $100,000 or greater. However, on
July 1, 2024, certain statutory changes took effect which require that the
sheltered market for projects less than $100,000 API be removed. Therefore, the
annual overhead door replacement contract will have an API of an SBE Price
Preference where an SBE contractor will be given a price preference if its bid
is within 10% of the lowest non-small business bid for each project. Actual
Small/Minority/Women Owned Business Enterprise participation will be tracked
cumulatively for all work orders issued. To date, there is no SBE participation
on the annual overhead door replacement contract. (Capital Improvements

motion to delegate authority: to the County Administrator, or her designee, who in this case will be
the Director of Facilities Development and Operations (FDO), to approve and
execute, subject to the review and approval of the Office of the County
Attorney, a First Amendment to the Deposit Receipt and Contract for Sale and
Purchase with True Gospel Holiness Christian Center Inc., a Florida
not-for-profit corporation, (True Gospel) deleting the requirement for True
Gospel to provide a storm water drainage easement at closing and extending the
date of closing. Summary: On
February 11, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a Deposit
Receipt and Contract for Sale and Purchase with True Gospel (R2025-0223)
(Agreement) for the sale of approximately 5,320 square feet of retail space
located at 361 W. Avenue A in Belle
Glade (Property) at a purchase price of $250,000. The Agreement obligates True
Gospel to provide a perpetual, non-exclusive storm water drainage easement to
the County at the time of closing.
During the due diligence period, it was determined that the storm water
drainage easement is not necessary, as there is no County purpose for such
drainage easement. The BCC’s approval of this motion will allow the Director of
FDO to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement, which deletes True Gospels’
obligation to provide a storm water drainage easement to the County and extends
the date of closing. The First Amendment will be subject to the review and
approval by the Office of the County Attorney.
