(R2005-2072) for the Northern Region Utility Improvement Project Phase 2B, increasing the contract price by $156,703 and providing an 11-day time extension. SUMMARY: On October 18, 2005, the Board approved a contract with Garney in the amount of $13,627,020. Change Order No. 3 authorizes the contractor to furnish and install additional flushing ports and fire hydrants. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has required six (6) flushing ports be constructed along the force main to ensure future pipeline maintenance can be performed. The Loxahatchee Groves Water Control District has required 22 fire hydrants be constructed as a condition of settling eminent domain proceedings initiated to obtain utility easements for water and wastewater transmission mains. Staff recommends an 11-day time extension to provide the contractor time to complete this additional work. The Contractor has also agreed to provide a credit for pipeline materials to be provided by the County. Total change orders to date equal $0. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance is 15.0% overall. This Change Order includes zero overall SBE participation.

A)
a Temporary Sewer Service Agreement (Agreement) with the Town of Lake Clarke Shores (Town) and Forest Hill Family Partnership, LTD; and
B)
a Wastewater Development Agreement (Wastewater Agreement) with Forest Hill Family Partnership, LTD.
SUMMARY: Forest Hill Professional Plaza (Plaza) is located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Town. The Plaza's existing septic tank drain field has failed. Temporary repairs were made but a long-term solution is needed. Further evaluation of the situation concluded the best long-term option for the Plaza is permanent connection to a sewer system. The Town does not have a sewer system. The County's sewer system is located near the Plaza, on the east side of Florida Mango Road. Under this Agreement, the Plaza will construct and maintain a lift station and force main to connect to the County's sewer system. All parties agree that the sewer connection will be used until sewer service is available from the Town. Although the Department Director has been delegated the authority to enter into Development Agreements, Board approval is being sought for the Wastewater Agreement due to non-standard terms and conditions associated with the Agreement.

Staff recommends motion to approve: Change Order No. 4 to the Contract with AKA Services, Inc. (R2005-0495) for the Northern Region Utility Improvement Project Phase I, increasing the contract price by $387,605.31 and providing a 58-day extension. SUMMARY: This Change Order compensates the contractor for additional expenses and delay claims resulting from litigation initiated by the Indian Trail Improvement District (ITID). The contractor experienced 58 days of down time on the force main work. The contract documents include a daily construction crew rate of $6,143.68, which equates to $356,333.44 for the 58-day delay. Additionally, the contractor was required to unload and store 8,900 feet of force main piping that was in transit before the litigation required him to stop work. Staff recommends compensating the contractor $51,609.38 for work associated with unloading, storing and relocating the piping materials. The contractor has agreed to provide the County with a credit of $20,337.51 for final reconciliation of material quantities required for this project. Total change orders to date for this project equal $255,958.57 (4.53% increase). The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance is 15.0% overall. This Change Order includes zero overall SBE participation. The Contractor's cumulative SBE participation, including this Change Order is 13.00% overall. The contractor is not able to meet the 15% goal because previous litigation with the City of West Palm Beach (City) necessitated work be deleted from this contract. On August 16, 2005, the Board approved Change Order No. 1 (2005-1594) which included a credit for deleting pipelines across the City's M-Canal. The contractor had planned to use a SBE sub-contractor to perform the deleted work. Since the County furnished most of the materials required for the project the contractor was not able to satisfy the 15% goal. (WUD Project No. 04-125) District 6 (JM)

6. Staff recommends motion to:
A)
receive and file a Status Report on the abandoned vessel recovery program that followed Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne; and
B)
approve the Forgiveness of five (5) registered owners of abandoned vessels from financial responsibility for the removal of those vessels due to extenuating circumstances.
SUMMARY: The status report summarizes and brings to a conclusion the 2004 Hurricane Vessel Recovery Program. Forty (40) owners of vessels removed as a result of the 2004 program have been unresponsive to invoices sent by the Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM) requesting payment for costs incurred. Pursuant to County PPM No. CW-F-048, ERM has transferred these delinquent accounts to the County Collection Coordinator. A list of the registered vessel owners who have been billed, but have not reimbursed the County for the costs of removal is being sent to the State to prevent those owners from registering further vessels in the State of Florida, in accordance with s. 705.103, Florida Statutes. Eleven (11) vessels salvaged during this program have been transferred to the Fixed Assets Management Office for sale through public auction. Five (5) of the vessel owners invoiced by ERM have provided adequate justification for forgiveness from debt due to extenuating circumstances. Forgiveness of these debts will result in $18,387 being uncollected. Staff, therefore, asks the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) to forgive the debts of these five (5) vessel owners.

The lease renewal allows the County to construct and operate a 32-slip docking facility exclusively to be used for the mooring of recreational vessels and jet ski rentals used in conjunction with an upland public park without fueling facilities, with a sewage pump out facility. The lease requires a $500 renewal fee and an annual lease fee of $5,339.77 for a total base financial impact from the 10½ year lease of $56,567.59.
