motion to approve: Amendment No.1
to Agreement (R2007-1758) with MD Now Medical Centers, Inc. to change the
project location to 9060 North Military Trail, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410.
SUMMARY: On October 16, 2007, the Board of County
Commissioners approved a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Economic
Set-Aside Agreement with MD Now Centers, Inc., in the amount of $150,000 for
the purchase/installation of specialized equipment and an emergency generator
for use at the facilities located at 4560 and 4570 Lantana Road, Lake Worth,
Florida 33463. The activity will create
a total of ten (10) full-time equivalent jobs for low and moderate income
persons. The company could not move
forward with its project at 4570 Lantana Road due to an owner/developer’s lack
of funds to complete construction. This
Amendment will allow for MD Now Medical Centers, Inc. to change the project
location to 9060 North Military Trail, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida for its
business expansion. These are federal
funds that require no local match. District

AGENDA APPROVAL
F. AIRPORTS
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the First
Amendment to Airline-Airport Use and Lease Agreement
with US Airways, Inc., providing rental
credits in the amount of $48,607.11 for non-stop arrival and departure
passenger service to/from Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA) and Las Vegas
McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada, from February 11, 2007
through August 17, 2007. SUMMARY: On July 25, 2007, the
County entered into an Airline-Airport Use and Lease Agreement (R2007-1499)
with US Airways. On February 11, 2007, US Airways commenced non-stop
passenger service to/from PBIA and Las Vegas McCarran International Airport in
Las Vegas, Nevada. The flight provided an additional non-stop destination
from PBIA and provided access to the western United States, which is of
beneficial interest to PBIA. Approval of this Amendment will provide
rental credits in the amount of $48,607.11 for landing fees and gate fees
accrued during the period. It is anticipated that US Airways will
resume the flight in December 2008. Although US Airways requested
incentive rental credits prior to initiation of the flight, US Airways only

receive rental credits for a new flight destination. Countywide (JB)
2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve a
First Amendment to the Terminal Building Lease Agreement with the General
Services Administration (GSA), an Executive Agency of the United States of
America, extending the rental commencement date from December 1, 2007, to March 1, 2008 and waiving the public construction bond
requirement; and
B) authorize
staff to write off all lease charges and late fees for the Terminal Building
Lease Agreement for the period commencing December 1, 2007 and ending on
February 29, 2008 in the amount of $63,776.18.
SUMMARY: On June 5, 2007, the Board approved a Terminal
Building Lease Agreement (Lease) (R2007-0855) with the GSA to construct office
and support areas for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The
Lease required the GSA to commence payment of rental upon issuance of a
certificate of occupancy for the initial improvements or December 1, 2007,
whichever occurred first. The Lease also required the GSA’s contractors
to furnish a public construction bond for the benefit of the County. The
GSA has requested that the rental commencement date be extended to March 1,
2008 due to construction and administrative delays. The GSA has also requested
that the public construction bond requirement be waived based on the advice of
its legal office, which has concluded that the County cannot be named as a dual
obligee on the bond provided to the GSA by its contractors. The Lease
will continue to require the GSA to ensure all improvements are constructed to
completion and that all of its contractors will be paid. Countywide (JB)

decrease to the contract in the amount of $24,776,377 which included the
deletion of more than $26 million in materials that were directly purchased by

Change Order No. 16 in the amount of $99,942

Facility Project at PBIA in the amount of $10,997,000. Change Orders 1-22 were approved for an
increase to the contract in the amount of $729,215 and an increase in time of 86
calendar days. Approval of Amendment No.
1 in the amount of $287,439 will
provide funds to accommodate the second phase relocation of the Communications
Center from the Terminal to the new facility within this building and an extension
of 90 calendar days. Approval of Change
Order No. 23 in the amount of $99,670 will extend the contract time by 134
calendar days and compensate the Contractor for delays beyond the current
substantial completion date that were beyond the control of the General
Contractor. Cumulative time extended
including all change orders and amendments is 310 calendar days. Request for
approval of this Change Order is being brought to the BCC in accordance with
revised PPM CW-F-050 effective February 1, 2006 due to the value of the change
order combined with the time extension, which exceeds the authority limits of
the Contract Review Committee. The
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation for Amendment No. 1 and
Change Order No. 23 is 0%. The total DBE
