                     1.       Staff recommends motion to approve: an Artwork Loan Agreement with Artist Susan P. Cochran for a one (1) year outdoor exhibition at the Palm Beach International Airport. SUMMARY: On May 18, 2006, the Public Art Committee (Committee) unanimously voted to accept Susan P. Cochran’s proposed artwork loan of “Ant Colony”, the larger than life five-piece painted bronzed sculpture.

The Committee and Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA) approved the artwork loan for outdoor exhibition for a one-year period at PBIA on the grassy area near Park & Ride (west of the retention basin).

The Artist is responsible for installation and removal with oversight from Art in Public Places and PBIA staff, and for insuring the artwork during the term of the Agreement including installation and removal.

SUMMARY: On March 14, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners delegated the authority to execute Emergency Generator Purchase, Operation and Maintenance Agreements (Agreements) to the County Administrator or his designee. The County Administrator has delegated this approval to the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department Director. These Agreements provide property owners with the ability to donate funds to purchase emergency generators for lift stations located within their community. The Department will assign the community its generator(s), locate the generator(s) on-site during hurricane season, and operate and maintain the generator(s) during emergencies. By executing such Agreements, the Department is able to expedite its goal of providing a higher level of emergency response service throughout its service area. Power outages that occur during hurricanes and other emergencies require the Department to operate a system of emergency generators at wastewater pump stations to prevent wastewater from backing up into streets, swales, and residents’ homes. Due to the great number of lift stations and limited staffing resources, the Department is not able to place an emergency generator at every lift station.

The Grant Agreement provides, that in the event FPL’s binding estimate is more than $1,500,000 the County may agree to reimburse Scripps for the difference between $1,500,000 and the FPL binding estimate. If the County does not agree to reimburse Scripps for the additional utility relocation costs, the Grant Agreement gives Scripps the right to terminate the Grant Agreement. Upon termination of the Grant Agreement, Scripps would be released from its obligations to the County. Countywide (JM)

           D.       ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

 

                     1.       Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) accept an Assignment of Option Agreement for Sale and Purchase (Agreement No. 1) from The Conservation Fund, as Trustee of the Conservation Fund Charitable Trust (TCF), for acquisition of approximately 3 acres of land located along the Loxahatchee River from Thomas C. Whitesell, et. al., as Trustees of the Dorothy Whitesell Florida Residential Interest Trust at a purchase price of $3,600,000;

 

B) accept an Assignment of Option Agreement for Sale and Purchase (Agreement No. 2) from The Nature Conservancy (TNC), for the acquisition of approximately 252 acres of land located within the County’s Cypress Creek Natural Area from Jupiter Ranch, Inc., a Florida corporation at a purchase price of $96,600 per acre, or $24,343,200 for the estimated 252 acres;

 

C) approve an Agreement for Purchase and Sale (Agreement No. 3) for approximately 150 acres of land within the County’s Cypress Creek Natural Area from RV Holding Co., Inc., a Florida Corporation for $20,000,000, subject to appraisals, application for and receipt of a loan from the Florida Sunshine Fund, an appraisal survey which supports the purchase price, and satisfactory due diligence; and

 

D) authorize staff from the Office of Finance and Budget Department to proceed with securing funds from the Florida Sunshine Fund in an amount up to $20,000,000 to be used to pay the remainder of costs associated with the purchase of the three aforementioned environmentally sensitive properties not covered by the other County funding sources.

 

SUMMARY: If the motions identified above are approved, staff will prepare an agenda item for the October 3, 2006 BCC Meeting requesting Board approval to exercise options for the Whitesell and Jupiter Ranch properties, along with the necessary budget transfers. The Whitesell property is located along the northeast fork of the Loxahatchee River, and if purchased, would be the only riverfront natural area owned by the County. Two (2) appraisals were obtained for the property. The purchase price of $3,600,000 is 42.1% below the average appraised value and is contingent upon the natural area being named the “Jackson Riverfront Pines Natural Area” or similar name approved by both the seller and County. Both the Conservation Lands Acquisition Selection Committee (CLASC) and staff recommend approval of this purchase, subject to normal pre-acquisition due diligence. Both the Jupiter Ranch and RV Holding Co. properties are within the County’s Cypress Creek Natural Area. The Jupiter Ranch property which includes approximately 252 acres is bordered by the County’s Cypress Creek Natural Area to the north and west and by Indiantown Road on the south. The RV Holding Co. property contains an estimated 150 acres and is bordered by the Cypress Creek Natural Area to the north and east, and by Indiantown Road to the south. Both of these contracts are subject to the purchase prices being supported by the average of two (2) appraisals due prior to the September 12, 2006 BCC Meeting. The RV Holding Co. contract is also contingent upon the County acquiring funds from the Florida Sunshine Fund. Discussion by CLASC of the proposed acquisition of the Jupiter Ranch and RV Holding Co. properties is expected at their September 7, 2006 meeting. If approved by CLASC, letters of recommendation will be signed by the acting Chairperson at the September 7, 2006 CLASC Meeting and will be provided to the BCC. Information related to the average appraised values for these two (2) properties will also be provided just before or during the September 12, 2006 BCC Meeting. The purchase of these three (3) environmentally sensitive properties exceeds the available balance remaining in the 1999 and 2001 $75 million General Obligation Conservation Land Acquisition Funds. To close the gap between available funds and anticipated future revenues/grants, staff has recommended the use of monies from the Natural Areas Fund, Ag Reserve Management Fund and a loan from the Florida Sunshine Fund to be repaid using future revenues from Ag Reserve leases, as well as expected reimbursement grant dollars from the Florida Communities Trust, the proposed resale of conservation lands to the South Florida Water Management District as part of a CERP project, and revenues from the County’s Transfer of Development Rights bank.

I) Supplement No. 2 to Consultant Service Authorization No. 14 to contract with Stephen Boruff, AIA (R2003-0525) for additional professional architectural, engineering and construction administration services for the AUF in the amount of $198,000; and

 

J) Amendment No. 10 to the Contract with Catalfumo Construction and Development, Inc. (R2003-1543) for construction management services for construction of a 16,320 square foot AUF establishing a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) in the amount of $4,174,931.73.

 

SUMMARY: In 2004, the Board approved a 20-year interdepartmental Lease (Lease) with DOA (R2004-0377) for property at PBIA which allows the development, construction and operation of a hangar and aviation fuel facilities as well as subleasing to other governmental public safety agencies. Facilities Development & Operations (FDO) planned to improve and expand the existing hangar by adding two helicopter bays. The Lease terms required that all plans and specifications for the renovation of the AUF be approved by DOA. As a result of potential conflicts between the proposed expansion and future airfield improvements, it became necessary to prepare a revised development plan and lease. The Restated Lease Agreement provides for the construction of a new hangar and the relocation of the existing fuel facility to a location acceptable to DOA and the reduction of the overall size of the leased property. DOA has also agreed to reimburse FDO for the costs associated with the relocation of the facilities in an amount no less than $900,000 and not to exceed $1,100,000 based on actual expenses incurred. In 2005, the City of West Palm Beach agreed to fund the construction of one of the two helicopter bays being added as part of the expansion of the hangar in exchange for a written sublease (R2005-1328). As the expansion of the existing hangar is no longer going to be constructed, the City has decided instead to fund the construction of one of the helicopter bays in the new hangar. The Restated Sublease Agreement sets forth the terms of the City ’s payments for the design and construction of the hangar bay, its on-going obligations as a sub-lessee and the continued purchase of aviation fuel. The City has already paid the County $56,000 for design services.

SUMMARY (Cont’d): The City must fund the construction of the subleased bay in the amount of $781,500 in advance of the work in order for the work to commence. The Restated Sublease is subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Restated Lease between DOA and FDO. Given the need to relocate and construct a new hangar, changes to the design and construction contracts were required. Supplement No. 2 for Stephen Boruff provides for the re-design of the relocated hangar. Architectural services shall include design development, construction document preparation, permitting and bidding assistance and construction administration. Pursuant to this annual contract, Stephen Boruff agrees to meet or exceed an overall minimum SBE participation of 15%. The SBE participation in this authorization is 95.9%. When added to the consultant’s participation to date, the results are 57.8% participation. Pursuant to its CM at Risk contract for general government facilities, Catalfumo submitted a GMP for Catalfumo’s most recent estimate of construction $4,174,931.73. The SBE goal for this project is 15%. Catalfumo is aware of the SBE requirement and has reconfirmed to staff its commitment to exceed that goal. The duration of construction is 266 calendar days to substantial completion. Construction shall begin no sooner than November 1, 2006. Catulfumo’s builders risk insurance will exclude wind coverage, based on a recommendation from Risk Management, because the excessive coverage costs are unjustifiable when weighed against the risk of hurricane damage.

C) Change Order No. 6 to the contract with Southeast Contracting Services, Inc. (R2005-1171) for work not performed at the time of Hurricane Wilma by Southeast Contracting, in the deductive amount of $141,349;

 

D) Change Order No. 7 to the contract with Southeast Contracting Services, Inc. (R2005-1171) for the re-routing of on-site utilities and clubhouse demolition, in the amount of $132,549, and extending the contract time by 440 days; and

 

E) advertisement for design services on a replacement facility.

 

SUMMARY: On October 24, 2005, Hurricane Wilma struck Palm Beach County resulting in significant damage to Southwinds Golf Course and the total loss of the 17,000 sf clubhouse. At the time of the hurricane, the facility was undergoing a $575,225 renovation by Southeast Contracting Services, Inc., and work was approximately 75% complete. As a result of the damage, the renovation project was put on hold. In order for the facility to operate, the renovation contractor was directed to make emergency repairs to the pro-shop and cart barn building and reconfigure the interior for the business offices. The clubhouse was condemned by PZ&B on June 13, 2006 and now needs to be demolished. Planning and design work also needs to be initiated to replace the clubhouse in a timely manner. This Budget Transfer from the General Fund Contingency will fund the Hurricane Wilma related emergency work, and the architectural design and project management work for a new clubhouse. It will also fund Change Order No. 7 in the amount of $132,549, which provides for re-routing of site utilities, demolition of the clubhouse and a time extension for the delay caused by Hurricane Wilma. In addition, Change Order No. 6 provides for a contract reduction of $141,349 based on work that the Contractor was prevented from completing due to the hurricane. The SBE goal for this contract is 15%. Including Change Orders 6 and 7, the total participation is 17%. With the approval of the Board, staff will advertise for professional consulting services associated with the design and engineering of the replacement facility. The scope of the replacement facility will be the subject of a separate Board item. Funds received from FEMA and insurance reimbursements associated with this project work will be returned to the General Fund Contingency. (Capital Improvements Division) District 5 (JM)

SUMMARY: At the May 17, 2005, Public Hearing, the Board of County Commissioners amended the Palm Beach County Occupational License Tax Ordinance, which removed a provision that applied to licensed professionals required to practice their profession under the supervision of another person. This action made the Ordinance consistent with the Local Occupational License Tax Act, under Florida Statutes.

A) ratify Change Orders No. 130 through 149 (excluding 136 withdrawn) to the contract with ACS (R98-1540D), in the amount of $263,000 for work completed by ACS on an emergency basis to meet a projected September 2006 implementation date, providing system modifications and insuring compliance with Florida House Bill 8271, effective October 1, 2006;

 

B) approve a Budget Amendment in the Court Related Information Technology (IT) Capital Improvements Fund in the amount of $660,000; and

 

C) approve a Budget Transfer from the General Fund Contingency in the amount of $660,000.

 

SUMMARY: Palm Beach County is completing the implementation of the Justice Information System (JIS) Criminal/Traffic Court system. Change Orders No. 130 through 149 (excluding 136), in the cumulative amount of $263,000, were completed by ACS on an emergency basis to meet a projected September 2006 implementation date. These Change Orders provide for system modifications required to insure that historical data will be accurately converted from the current mainframe system to the Criminal/Traffic Case Management System. Change Order 141 is necessary for Palm Beach County to be in compliance with Florida House Bill 8271, which revises the method of handling Bonds and Accounts Payable distributions in the Criminal/Traffic Case Management System. The Change Orders were approved by the JIS Policy Board, either during their April 26, 2006 or their August 10, 2006 meetings. Change Order No. 136 was withdrawn. Additional funding is needed to provide for these change orders, and to pay on-going project costs through fiscal year-end. Funding for the JIS Project had been adequately budgeted; however, a mid-year adjustment modified the budget downward.

                     2.       Staff requests Board direction: on a proposal to increase fares on Palm Tran’s fixed-route and Palm Tran Connection services. SUMMARY: At the June 8, 2006 Budget Workshop, staff was directed by the Board to examine the potential impact of a modest fare increase to Palm Tran’s fares. Palm Tran’s current non-discounted fixed-route fare structure is $1.25 for a one-way trip (no transfer), $3 for an all-day pass (unlimited access), and the monthly pass of $50. The reduced fare offered to those riders meeting eligibility requirements is $.60 for a one-way trip, $2 for an all-day pass and $35 for the monthly pass. Pass and Farebox revenue under the current fare structure for fixed-route operations is budgeted at $6,220,720 in fiscal year 2006, which represents approximately 18% of total operating costs. The proposal is to increase the fixed-route base fare from $1.25 to $1.50, for a single trip. Staff proposes to maintain the current $3 all-day pass level and to increase the monthly pass from $50 to $55. Under this proposal the reduced/discounted fares would increase from $.60 to $.75 for a one-way trip. We would maintain the $2 all-day pass and the monthly pass would increase to $39.

 

Palm Tran Connection’s current paratransit fare is $2.50 per trip. Revenue from Connection’s operations is budgeted at $1,056,797 in FY ‘06, which represents just 4% of total costs. We propose to increase the paratransit base fare from $2.50 to $3 per trip and increase the sixteen (16) trip “Connection Ticket to Ride” booklet from $40 to $45. ADA allows for paratransit fares to be twice that of the fixed-route service.

 

It is estimated that the overall fare increase would generate approximately $ 1,250,000 annually. We project that such a fare increase would also increase the farebox recovery ratio by 2 - 3%. This recovery ratio would be more in line with national averages for farebox recovery. If the Board concurs, staff plans to hold the required public hearing on this proposal on November 17, 2006. The fare increase is proposed to become effective March 1, 2007. Countywide (DR)

C) Budget Amendment of $200,000 in the General Fund Summer Camp Scholarship Program to establish budget for scholarship expenses.

 

SUMMARY: On March 14, 2006, the Board approved providing an additional $470,000 to the Community Action Program’s Summer Camp Scholarship Program to ensure that all qualified applicants were funded. Budget transfers of $270,000 from the General Fund Contingency and $200,000 from the Park Improvement Fund Countywide RAP Funding to the General Fund Summer Camp Scholarship Program will provide the additional funding needed for FY 2006 Summer Camp Scholarships.

Fire Rescue will provide all emergency response and patient transportation services in those areas.
