Staff recommends motion to approve: Contract with L.D. Astorino Architects, Inc. to provide architectural services on a continuing contract basis. SUMMARY: The purpose of this Contract is to have a consultant under contract to provide architectural services for small construction projects generally with construction values less than $1,000,000. The need for an annual architectural consultant to focus on the specific requirements of small construction projects is a result of the expanded use of the Job Order Contracting System and annual construction contracts, and per the suggestions of JOC contractors as a way to expedite delivery of the projects and reduce costs. Consultant fees will be negotiated on an individual basis for the identified projects. This Contract will be for two (2) years with three (3) - one (1) year renewal options. Pursuant to County Ordinances, this Contract includes a goal of 15%, which can be met through the use of either M/WBE or SBE firms. Astorino is anticipating providing 35% M/WBE/SBE participation.

Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 002 to an Agreement (R2005-2022) with the Housing Partnership, Inc., to: A) increase the funding amount by $25,400 to $122,650, in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds; and B) extend the expiration date of the Agreement from September 30, 2006 to March 31, 2007. SUMMARY: The Amendment provides an additional $25,400 to fund improvements at Celtic Apartments located at 4680-4694 Davis Road, in Lake Worth. This property serves as an independent living facility for low and very low-income adults with chronic mental illness. The work, which was expected to be done during the past summer, will include a gravity sewer, landscaping removal and repairs, and abandoning an existing septic tank and drain field. The project was initially funded at $77,250. An additional $20,000 was provided in order to award a contract based on the bid amount that was received which was higher than anticipated. The start of construction has since been delayed while permitting matters were being addressed. Accordingly, approval of the additional $25,400 in CDBG funds is recommended in order to cover the additional cost due to delays. These are federal funds that require no local match.

Staff recommends motion to approve: a Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement with Southern Mills Business Park, LLC. SUMMARY: On December 2, 2004, the Village of Royal Palm Beach (Village) executed a Development Agreement and corresponding Refund Agreement with 3-ARM-Z, LLC related to construction of off-site potable water and wastewater pipelines.
