                                    Coast To 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 Division) Countywide (MWJ)

Summary: In accordance with County PPM CW-O-051, all delegated contracts/ agreements/grants/procurement items must be submitted by the initiating Department as a receive and file agenda item and attached unless the documents have been recorded in the Public Records of Palm Beach County. On February 7, 2023, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the acceptance of Standard Grant Agreement 22FRP75 (R2023-0170) with the FDEP in the amount of $250,000 for the Wastewater Lift Station 0637 (LS 0637) Hardening Improvements. The same agenda item authorized the County Administrator, or designee, to execute standard grant agreements, amendments, and all other documents necessary for the implementation of the grant award. Change Order No. 1 is an amendment to the original Agreement No. 22FRP75, and clarifies that the Build America, Buy America Act provisions do not apply to Agreements that are wholly funded by Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). FDEP required Amendment No. 2 to address state-mandated deadlines, as all grant agreements funded by the ARPA State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds required modification prior to December 31, 2024. The grant deliverables and documentation remain unchanged for Amendment No. 2; however, this amendment increased the grant funding by $504,000, but does not require a grant match.  FDEP also combined Tasks 1 and 2 as one deliverable and enabled monthly payment requests. Change Order No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 22FRP75 are being submitted for receipt and filing in accordance with Countywide PPM CW-F-003 as they were executed under delegated authority.

1.         Staff recommends 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.   (Property and Real Estate Management) District 6 (HJF)
