Issue:	Implementing a 3% Transaction Fee for Acceptance of Credit and/or Debit Card Payments From Customers of the Building Inspections Department
From:	Donald R. Mayo, Interim Building Official
Organization:	Building Inspections
CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning Implementing a 3% Transaction Fee for Acceptance of Credit and/or Debit Card Payments From Customers of the Building Inspections Department - Donald R. Mayo, Interim Building Official/Department Director That the Board take the following action concerning implementing a minimal 3% transaction fee for all payments accepted at the Building Inspections Department from customers using a credit and/or debit card as payment. A. Authorize implementing a 3% transaction fee for acceptance of credit and/or debit card payments from the Building Inspections Department customers; and B. Approve the effective date of January 1, 2015, for implementation of the 3% transaction fee. [Funding: There will be no cost to BID to implement this transaction fee. The 3% fee will be charged to the customers, recovering the BID's costs associated with using a credit and/or debit card as payment and reducing the BID's operational costs]
BACKGROUND:
To keep up with standard business practices, the Building Inspections Department (BID) offers the convenience of accepting electronic payments from customers. The BID incurs a minimum fee of three percent (3%) with each transaction, depending upon the type of card presented for payment. BID has not implemented a surcharge to recover the costs associated with accepting electronic payments. The BID would like to implement a minimal transaction fee of three percent (3%) in order to continue to accept electronic payments from its customers without using the BID Inspections Fund (Fund 406). This fee has been implemented by Corrections, EMS Billing, and the Clerk of the Court. Board approval is required since the BID operates in conformity with a fee schedule adopted by the Board pursuant to Sections 125.56(2) and 553.80, Florida Statutes.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
There will be no cost to BID to implement this transaction fee. The three percent (3%) fee will be charged to the customers, recovering the BID's costs associated with using a credit and/or debit card as payment and reducing the BID's operational costs.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:
This Recommendation was reviewed and approved by Assistant County Attorney, Kerra A. Smith.
PERSONNEL:
N/A
POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:
The three percent (3%) transaction fee for the use of credit and/or debit cards must be approved by the Board because the BID operates in conformity with a fee schedule adopted by the Board pursuant to Sections 125.56(2) and 553.80, Florida Statutes.
IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:
Sue Garrett, Administrative Assistant, and Gerald Wooten, Accountant, will coordinate with the IT Department and the permitting software provider for the development of a Fee Code necessary for assessing the fee and providing the required accounting. BID's customer base will be provided advance notice by several BID e-Blast announcements and Notices distributed with each permit that is issued.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning a Change Order to Birkshire Johnstone, LLC, on Contract PD 13-14.069, "Cantonment and Molino Zone Pond Repair" Project - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director

That the Board approve and authorize the County Administrator to execute the following Change Order to Birkshire Johnstone, LLC, on Contract PD 13-14.069, "Cantonment and Molino Zone Pond Repair" Project:

Department:	Public Works
Division:	Engineering/Infrastructure Division
Type:	Addition
Amount:	$37,570.02
Vendor:	Birkshire Johnstone, LLC
Project Name:	Cantonment and Molino Pond Repairs
Contract:	PD 13-14.069
PO#:	141638

Original Contract Award:	$26,693.96
Cumulative Amount of Change Orders Through this CO:	$37,570.02
New Contract Amount:	$64,263.98

[Funding Source: Fund 12, Disaster Recovery Fund, Account 330493, Object Code 54612, Project #ESDPW06]

BACKGROUND:

When the original site assessment was performed and re-reviewed at the time of bidding, the water level in Pond 60 was high due to the high groundwater table and rains following the April 29-30 Storm Event. The photo documentation and work description page provided to the contractor for bidding shows the water level at this time. Quantity calculations at Pond 60 measured at the time of reporting were based on what could be seen at the site at that time.

Birkshire Johnstone, LLC was awarded a Purchase Order for the Cantonment and Molino Zone Pond Repairs, Contract PD 13-14.069 on August 14, 2014.

After bidding and subsequent award of the project, the water level in the pond receded substantially, on the order of about 6 feet, uncovering additional damages to the pond slopes. It was determined at that time that the improvements at Pond 60 would require increases in the quantity of work that was bid by the Contractor. HDR re-estimated the additional work that would be required at Pond 60.

Jehle-Halstead (JHI) was contracted for Construction Inspection services for the project, to monitor the work performed and to ensure that field quantities were consistent with pay requests for the project. JHI also provided in-place measurements of the work performed at the pond sites. It was decided that JHI's measurements would take precedence over HDR's since they were onsite for the quantities of work performed.

Construction of repairs required additional earthwork movement and grading operations in order to provide a consistent finished product.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funds for this contract are available in Fund 112 "Disaster Recovery Fund", Cost Center 330493, Object Code 54612, Project #ESDPW06 .

Issue:	United States Department of Homeland Security (USDHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
From:	Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Department Director
Organization:	Public Works
CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning the United States Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director That the Board take the following action concerning the United States Department of Homeland Security (USDHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) for the Delano Drainage Area Project and the Lake Charlene Warrington Drainage Area Project: A. Authorize submittal of the following projects and approve funding of the 25% match as available in Fund 352, Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) III; Delano Drainage Area: This proposed mitigation project will modify existing stormwater facilities and infrastructure to increase efficiency and capacity as well as acquire and improve new sites to add capacity within the drainage area. Construction of this project is planned in four phases, although necessary work at each site may be initiated and conducted in parallel from a timing perspective. The proposed project will reduce the 25-year/24-hour flood stage significantly, thereby preventing recurring flood impacts to infrastructure and to a number of buildings. Many of these structures will be entirely protected from future flood events, which eliminates future flood damage. The original Delano Street drainage area was bound by Fairfield Drive, Pace Boulevard, Massachusetts Avenue, and "W" Street. The project area was expanded due to flooding from the June 2012 and April 2014 storm events, to include consideration of down-gradient areas of the "L" Street Pond, Leonard Street, “M” Street just south of St. Mary Avenue, the "L" Street drainage system from Herman Street to Leonard Street, a portion of Fairfield Drive and Pace Boulevard’s drainage system within the contributing drainage basin, Herman Street from Pace Boulevard to Palafox Street, and an old pit/pond on Herman Street. Drainage improvements for this project will address flooding of multiple properties, including Escambia County Sheriff’s property - the Central Booking & Detention Facility, the recently built Waterfront Mission, the former Gulf Winds Credit Union building, and other businesses in this focus area. Estimated Cost in application: $4,133,772.90 Lake Charlene Warrington Drainage Area: This proposed mitigation project will modify existing stormwater facilities and infrastructure to increase efficiency and capacity to add capacity and/or improve conveyance within the drainage area. The goal of the current study is to provide conceptual drainage alternatives and cost estimates, considering existing stormwater data, limited new data collection, and rainfall event analysis. The primary drainage analysis will focus on flooding solutions around the properties, roadways, and infrastructure adjoining and within the vicinity of the Lake Charlene water body and Bridle Trail Estates pond, including but limited to, Lake Charlene Terrace, Lake Charlene Drive, Lake Charlene Lane, Clydesdale Drive, 61st Avenue, Arabian Drive, Arabian Circle, Bunker Hill Drive, Bunker Hill Circle, Kitty Hawk Circle, Kitty Hawk Drive, Lake Joanne Drive, Long Lake Drive, and surrounding roadways. Solutions reviewed in previous studies and/or developed in this study will be included in the upcoming grant application, which will be submitted for the County Administrator's signature. Estimated Cost: $5,000,000 B. Authorize the Chairman to execute, subject to Legal review and sign-off, any subsequent Agreements and program-related documents for these two projects; C. Authorize the County Administrator or his designee, subject to Legal review and sign-off, to execute attached and subsequent applications for these two projects; and D. Accept, subject to Legal review and sign-off, Agreements, Easements, Hold Harmless Agreements, and other documents of conveyance as may be required from property owners of Escambia County whose properties are adjacent to the designated HMGP sites. [ Funding: Funding for the 25% match is available in Fund 352, LOST III, Project Number 12EN1763]
BACKGROUND:
The April 2014 storms produced floodwaters throughout Escambia County. Swollen streams caused excessive flooding and erosion that damaged many roadways, dams, culverts, and bridges. The work associated with these grant applications will assist us to acquire the funding to mitigate flooding of waterway structures, associated roadways and properties, and to improve stormwater management systems within the two drainage areas. The Delano Street Drainage Project Study began in February 2005, when the Board of County Commissioners approved Task Order PD 02-03.79.26.ENG to HDR Engineering, Inc. HDR completed the study associated with this task order in 2006. The Delano Project Area is located in the upper portion of the Pensacola Bay Basin. Engineering staff has been in the process of acquiring property parcels for ponds sites since this original study. Change orders were issued to HDR Engineering Inc., following the June 2012 rain event and again following the April 2014 storm event to upgrade the scope to consider down-gradient impacts to the Fairfield Drive, Herman Street, “L” Street”, and Leonard Street areas, and more specifically the Central Booking Detention Facility, considering that the Pensacola Bay Basin Study was also completed by HDR Engineering Inc. The Lake Charlene Area of the Warrington Basin Study, PD 13-14.081, was also awarded to HDR Engineering, Inc. by the Board of County Commissioners, on November 6, 2014. HDR recently started this study, and will be developing the subject grant application prior to the submission deadline of January 6, 2015. Because of the short timeline, staff is requesting that the Board authorize the County Administrator or his designee signatory authority for the grant applications. Upon application approval by FEMA, final grant agreements will be forwarded to the County Attorney’s Office for legal review, and to the Chairman for approval. This program reimburses 75% of the actual eligible construction costs, in addition to 75% of eligible design and property acquisition costs. Our obligation for the Delano Drainage Area project is estimated at 25% of $4,133,772.90, which equals $1,033,443.22; and for the Lake Charlene Warrington Drainage Area, our 25% share of $5,000,000.00, which equals $1,250,000.00. The total County obligation expected for both projects is $2,283,443.22.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Funding for the 25% match is available in Fund 352, LOST III.

That the Board take the following action concerning the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Grant Application for Section 5310 funding and (Federal Transit Administration [FTA]) urbanized area funding to be used by Escambia County for the purchase of six ADA Buses:

A. Adopt the Resolution authorizing Escambia County to apply for and accept certain Grant awards made by FDOT and by the FTA Act of 1964; and

B. Authorize the Chairman to execute the Resolution and all other required documents pertaining to acceptance and expenditure of grant funds, including notification of funding and electronic document filing, pending Legal approval, without further action of the Board.

There are currently 25 vehicles in the fleet. FDOT recommends that paratransit vehicles be replaced at five years and/or 200,000 miles. ECAT has four buses in need of replacement due to high mileage and wear. An increase in the spare ratio is also needed to ensure we have adequate vehicles in the case of maintenance and/or repair. This purchase will bring almost all of the fleet up to new. A future capital replacement plan has been established, and this application serves as part of that plan, allowing ECAT to add rolling stock and to begin replacing vehicles as the grant money is available.
Upon approval by the Board of County Commissioners, this proposed Program of Projects, including any Amendments, becomes the final Program of Projects.

[Funding: These funds will be included in the ECAT Fiscal Year 2015/2016 Budget]

BACKGROUND:

There are currently 25 vehicles in the fleet. FDOT recommends that paratransit vehicles be replaced at five years and/or 200,000 miles. ECAT has 4 buses in need of replacement due to high mileage and wear. An increase in the spare ratio is also needed to ensure we have adequate vehicles in the case of maintenance and/or repair. This purchase will bring almost all of the fleet up to new. A future capital replacement plan has been established, and this application serves as part of that plan, allowing ECAT to add rolling stock and to begin replacing vehicles as the grant money is available.

Program of Projects	Amount
4- Paratransit Bus Replacements @ $70,000 each	$280,000
2- Paratransit Bus Replacement @ $40,000 each	$80,000
Total Budget	$360,000

Upon approval by the Board of County Commissioners, this proposed Program of Projects, including any amendments, becomes the final Program of Projects.

The $ 70,000 vehicles have 14 seats (11 ambulatory and the wheelchair) and they will replace 3 vehicles with 14 seats (12 ambulatory and 2 wheelchair) and one vehicle with 10 seats (6 ambulatory and 4 wheelchair).

The $ 40,000 vehciles have 6 seats (4 ambulatory and 2 wheelchair) and these vehicles are replacing one vehicle with 10 seats (6 ambulatory and 4 wheelchair) and one with 9 ambulatory seats.

In effect, the new vehicles are replacing vehicles of the same size.

These vehicles have been chosen because they are on a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) state contract, and because they are similar to the vehicles currently in the fleet. Correspondence is enclosed from the Federal Transit Administration advising that FTA funds can not be used if/when a local preference purchasing policy is utilized.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

These funds will be included in the ECAT Fiscal Year 2015/2016 Budget.

Recommendation Concerning a Change Order to StopLoss Specialists, LLC, on Purchase Order 141189, for Emergency Repairs of Flood-Damaged Buildings - David W. Wheeler, CFM, Facilities Management Department Director

That the Board approve and authorize the County Administrator to execute the following Change Order to StopLoss Specialists, LLC, on Purchase Order 141189, for Emergency Repairs of Flood-Damaged Buildings:

Department:	Facilities Management
Division:	DCAT
Type:	Addition
Amount:	$256,097.45
Vendor:	StopLoss Specialists, LLC
Project Name:	Emergency Repairs of Flood-Damaged Buildings
Contract:	N/A

Original Contract Award:	$1,873,000
Cumulative Amount of Change Orders Through this CO:	$256,097.45
New Contract Amount:	$2,129,097.45

[Funding Source: Fund 501, Internal Service Fund for Insurance Claims, Account 140836, Object Code 54601]

BACKGROUND:

As a result of the April 29, 2014 flood event, nine facilities experienced heavy water damage that required immediate response in order to minimize further damage to the facilities and avoid disruption of County services. StopLoss Specialists LLC (StopLoss) was contracted under the emergency declaration to perform water remediation services at these buildings. At the June 3, 2014 BCC meeting, the Board approved the purchase order in the amount of $1,873,000 to StopLoss for the remediation services at these locations.

All remediation services were completed within the first 30 days with the exception of the Community Probation Building. The Community Probation Building (COB) located at 2251 North Palafox Street continued to be inundated with flood waters in the basement area and required an unanticipated extended period of time to perform daily mitigation and monitoring of mitigation equipment. Although water continues to be evacuated from the basement of this building, StopLoss demobilized, and services were terminated on July 22, 2014. This extended full time effort resulted in an unanticipated additional cost. StopLoss is requesting an additional $256,097.45 for remediation services rendered at this location. The two previous change orders were administrative changes to reallocate funds to cover the final amounts for the other locations.

The County’s insurance carriers’ claims adjuster, VeriClaim, Inc hired Madsen, Kneppers & Associates, Inc. (MKA) to perform a complete audit of StopLoss services and invoicing for this flood event. MKA has validated and approved this additional $256,097.45 above the initial purchase order. This total cost of $2,129,097.45 will be reimbursed by the County’s insurance carriers.

Issue:	Allocation of Funding for a Grant Match and Study
From:	Amy Lovoy, Interim Assistant County Administrator
Organization:	County Administrator's Office
CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning Allocation of $14,000, to the City of Pensacola, for the Purpose of Conducting a Study to Write a Grant Application for the National Disaster Resilience Competition HUD Grant - Amy Lovoy, Interim Assistant County Administrator That the Board take following action: A. Allocate, from the General Fund’s Reserves for operating, a total of $14,000, to the City of Pensacola as a Grant match for a possible Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) Grant from the Florida Division of Emergency Management, contingent upon the City of Pensacola allocating an equal amount of funding and subject to both the City's and the County's review and approval of the HUD Grant Application prior to submittal; and B. Approve a Purchase Order for this purpose. [Funding Source: General Fund (001), Cost Center 110201]
BACKGROUND:
The Storm Water Technical Staff has proposed that the City and County submit a joint application to HUD for a grant from the $1 billion National Disaster Resilience Competition. In order to submit an application for this grant a study of certain drainage basins must be done, and a grant application completed. The City of Pensacola will contract to have this study and grant application completed at the total cost of about $112,000. To pay for this study the City will submit for a HMGP grant from the Florida Division of Emergency Management in the amount of $112,000. This grant will require a 25% match totaling $28,000 of which the County and the City will each fund $14,000. The deadline for the submittal of the HUD grant application is March 31, 2015. Due to this time constraint, work for the study must commence prior to the possible award of the HMGP grant that would fund the total cost of the study. If the City is not awarded the grant, then the City and the County must decide whether to fund the total cost of the study or to lose the initial $14,000 investment. The study will focus on the following drainage basins: • Aragon • Downtown • Longhollow • Delano
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
This recommendation will allocate a total of $14,000 from the General Fund’s reserves for operating to assist in paying the required local match for an HMGP grant. These funds will be used to commence a study and grant application for a possible larger HUD grant. However, work will commence on the study before the possible award of the HMGP grant. If this grant is not awarded, the City and the County will have to decide whether to fund the total cost of the study or to lose the $14,000.
