COME UP TO THE PODIUM, GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.
[1. Bid No. 21/22-54, CR 220 At Town Center Blvd. Intersection Improvement Project (RE-BID) and Accompanying Agreement (K.Smith/R.Smith)]
AND SEEING NONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER ONE.
BID FOR TOWN CENTER INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT.
REBID, I GUESS IT IS. >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON. >> THIS IS A REBID.
WE HAD... THIS IS A JOINT PROJECT WITH FDOT.
WE RECEIVED SOME GRANT FUNDING. WE DID PUT IT OUT TO BID.
THE NUMBERS CAME BACK HIGH, SO WITH CONSULTING WITH FDOT, THEY ASKED US TO RE-BID, GIVE THE CONTRACTOR SOME MORE TIME TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT, AND MAYBE TIMING THE WHOLE MATERIAL ISSUE IMPACTED THE PRICE. WE PUT IT OUT A SECOND TIME.
WE DID ALLOW FOR MORE TIME TO PROCURE MATERIALS AND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION. THE PROJECTS CAME IN.
HUBBARD IS THE LOW BID. FDOT SUPPORTS THIS MOVING FORWARD AND AWARDING THE BID. THEY HAVE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE ANOTHER $100,000 TOWARDS THE PROJECT WHICH WILL BE BRINGING THAT AGREEMENT BACK TO YOU SOON WHEN WE RECEIVE THAT FROM FDOT. THIS IS A JOINT FUNDED PROJECT NOW WITH FDOT FUNDS AND COUNTY FUNDS.
>> SO THIS IS AT 220 AND TOWN CENTER.
CAN YOU SAY WHAT THEY WILL BE DOING THERE?
>> I WILL LET RICHARD BRIEF YOU ON THAT.
>> RICHARD SMITH, CLAY COUNTY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.
THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT WILL BE SPECIFICALLY TO TAKE THE LEFT TURN LANES AND BRING THEM TOGETHER SO THEY OPPOSE EACH OTHER. INSTEAD OF TURNING LEFT AND WONDERING WHAT THAT PERSON IS GOING TO BE DOING, THEY ARE GOING TO BE... IT WILL BE SHIFTED OVER TO WHERE YOU KIND OF ALIGN WITH EACH OTHER, THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE.
THERE WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL LEFT TURN STORAGE OR LANAGE.
IT WILL MAKE THAT SAFER. THERE WILL BE AN UPGRADE TO THE SIGNALS. THERE WILL BE A SIGNAL PUT IN AS WELL AS SOME DRAINAGE AND MILLING AND RESURFACING IN THAT
AREA. >> THERE IS STILL TWO ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND ONLY ONE TURN LANE ON THE OTHER, CORRECT?
THERE IS STILL... THIS IS EAST AND WEST.
WE ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING IN THE TOWN CENTER.
THIS IS JUST ON 220. >> GOTCHA.
>> THAT WILL STAY THE SAME THERE.
OKAY. >> THERE IS SO MUCH AREA THERE.
PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES. THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO.
>> THIS SHOULD HELP OUT A LOT. >> OKAY.
GREAT. >> IT IS IN CONJUNCTION... AND AT THE SAME TIME, WITH OUR TRIPLE R PROJECT.
THERE IS SOME COORDINATION BETWEEN THIS CONTRACTOR AND WHOEVER... WE HAVEN'T AWARDED THE OTHER ONE YET.
IT WILL BE AN INTERESTING COORDINATION ISSUE.
>> OKAY. >> WE RE-BID IT BECAUSE IT WAS OVER BUDGET. I HEAR DOT WILL GIVE US THE NEXT
I'M GOING TO DEFER THAT TO KAREN.
>> HOW MUCH OVER BUDGET IS THIS STILL?
>> THE ORIGINAL GRANT WAS, I THINK, $364,000.
>> SO AT THIS POINT, FDOT WILL BE PUTTING IN A LITTLE... LIKE, $410,000. WE WILL BE PUTTING IN $437,000.
>> THE ORIGINAL PROJECTION WAS $360,000?
>> IT'S BEEN A COUPLE YEARS THAT THIS HAS BEEN IN THE BUDGET.
THE PROJECT HAD TO BE DESIGNED WHICH WAS DONE BY DOT.
THEN LET TO BID. I'M SURE THEY HAD SOME OLD
I MEAN, WE BID IT TWICE. >> YUP.
> COMMENT? >> CHAIRMAN, YEAH, THE DATE THAT THIS WAS ESTIMATED FOR THE BID WAS AT LEAST A COUPLE OF YEARS.
SO THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS. I MEAN, LOOKING AT INFLATION NUMBERS HERE, YEAR OVER YEAR, OCTOBER TO OCTOBER, INFLATION FOR US OVERALL HAS BEEN 6% OR MORE.
AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RELIEF. SO THESE ARE THE OUTCOMES.
EVERYTHING THAT WE ARE SEEING FROM EVEN THE FOOD THAT WE BUY IN THE GROCERY STORE IS JUST EXTREMELY HIGH.
YUP. >> SO HUBBARD IS THE LOWEST
BIDDER AT 846. >> AND JUST TO ADD ONE OTHER THING THAT WE DID DO. JUST TO CONFIRM.
[00:05:04]
AND YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO MEASURE TWICE AND CUT ONCE, WE HAD OUR DESIGNER THAT IS DOING THE TRIPLE R PROJECT INCORPORATE IN IT, IF WE ADDED THIS SCOPE TO THAT PROJECT, AND THERE WAS NOSIGNIFICANT SAVINGS. >> OH, REALLY?
>> YEAH. IF WE MADE IT ONE SEAMLESS... WE FELT LIKE WE NEEDED TO DO. THAT BECAUSE AGAIN, THEY HAVE TO SAVE US AT LEAST $364,000 PLUS WHATEVER D.O.T. GIVES US NOW.
WE COULDN'T MAKE THAT HAPPEN. >> COULDN'T GET THAT INTO OUR
PROJECT. >> WE COULDN'T GET... WE COULDN'T ASK THAT MUCH OF A PUSH.
>> WHEN IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE?
COMPLETE? >> THAT IS 180 DAYS FOR THEM TO PROCURE SUPPLIES. THAT WILL BEGIN...
>> THEY ARE GOING TO START WITHIN THE NEXT 45 DAYS.
WE WILL HAVE A PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING, AND THEY WILL START PROCURING THE MATERIAL. BUT THEY ARE... THEY WERE EAGER TO GET THIS STARTED. OTHERWISE, THEY WEREN'T SURE
THEY COULD HOLD THEIR PRICES. >> YES.
THAT IS WHAT I WAS WORRIED ABOUT.
MM-HMM. >> WE WENT AHEAD AND MOVED THIS FORWARD. AND WE WILL BRING THE DOT
AGREEMENT AT A FUTURE MEETING. >> THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION IS SCHEDULED FOR 120 DAYS. IT IS GOING TO TAKE LONGER TO ORDER AND DELIVER THAN IT IS GOING TO TAKE TO INSTALL AND
COMPLETE. >> THAT IS LET IDEA NORMAL NOWADAYS, ISN'T IT? ... PRETTY NORMAL.
[2. RFP No. 21/22-72, Mentoring and Tutoring Services for the SWEAT Program (V. Hapner)]
>> UNFORTUNATELY, YES, YES. >> RICK, WE WILL PUT THAT UNDER CONSENT. THANK YOU.
ITEM NUMBER TWO IS MONITORING AND TUTORING SERVICES FOR THE
VICTORIA HAPPENNER IN, COMMUNITY SERVICES.
THIS IS FOR THE APPROVAL OF OUR EVALUATION OF RFP FOR BRIGHT MINDS YOUTH DEVELOPMENT. THEY DO OUR MENTORING AND TUTORING SERVICES FOR THE PROGRAM.
SO I WAS READING THAT. THEY DON'T DO ANY... THEY DON'T DO ON-LINE? AND IT HAS TO BE... IT CANNOT BE ON-LINE? WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THAT? I THOUGHT EVERYTHING IS ON-LINE NOWADAYS.
>> YES. THEY WERE ALLOWED TO DO ON-LINE SERVICES DURING COVID. I THINK... IT IS PROBABLY WITH THE YOUTH THAT THEY DEAL WITH, THEY HAVE BETTER RESPONSE WITH A
FACE-TO-FACE MENTORING. >> MM-HMM.
>> MY QUESTION REVOLVES AROUND THE SAME ISSUE.
THAT IS ON-LINE COUNSELING. NOT PERMITTED... AND WHY WASN'T THIS BID GRADED NONCOMPLIANT OR NON-SOMETHING.
WHAT IS IT CALLED? NON-RESPONSIVE?
>> ARE YOU SPEAKING TO... >> WHY WASN'T THEIR BID NONRESPONSIVE? THEY CAN'T MEET THE
REQUIREMENTS. >> OH, FOR THE SECOND... YES.
THAT WOULD BE... YUP. >> WHY DON'T WE JUST CALL IT NON-RESPONSIVE AND MOVE ON. THIS IS A PURCHASING QUESTION.
>> YEAH. >> PROFESSIONAL TRAINING HERE
WE DID LOOK AT. THAT WE WERE GOING TO REACH OUT AND MAKE THEM NON-RESPONSIVE. BECAUSE IT WAS AN RFP, THEY CAN'T DISCUSS THE BID UNTIL THEY MEET TOGETHER.
THE THREE COMMITTEE MEMBERS. WE KEPT IT OPEN FOR CONSIDERATION UNTIL THEY COULD MEET AS A GROUP.
WE COULD HAVE PUT IT IN THE AGENDA TO REJECT IT.
AT THE SAME TIME, WE WANTED THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT IT, REVIEW IT, AND UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WERE NONCOMPLIANT AND
[3. First Renewal to Agreement No. 2021/2022-45 with Locality Media, Inc. dba First Due Size Up for First Due Modules for Public Safety (D. Motes)]
>> I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
PUT IT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER THREE IS FIRST RENEWAL OF AGREEMENT WITH LOCALITY MEDIA.
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY. ASSISTANT COUNTY MANAGER, ACTING FIRE CHIEF. THIS IS A FIRST RENEWAL OF THE FIRST DUE CONTRACT WHICH IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE FIRE PREVENTION AND PRE-FIRE PLANNING MODULES.
WE HAVE BEEN WITH IT A YEAR NOW. WE ARE STILL BUILDING THE PRODUCT OUT. EVENTUALLY, IT IS GOING TO END UP WITH OUR HYDRANT INSPECTIONS AND PRE-FIRE PLANNING.
THINGS OF THAT NATURE. IT IS A SOUP-TO-NUTS PROGRAM
WITH OUR FIRE PREVENTION. >> CAN YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE? I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT.
THIS. >> WHAT THIS PROGRAM DOES, AND THE PRE-FIRE PLANNING REALM, WE WOULD DO OUR STUFF ON PAPER.
WE WOULD ATTACH, SCAN IT IN, WE WOULD PUT IT IN.
WHEN WE WERE GOING TO A CALL, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PULL THAT UP.
[00:10:03]
WE WOULD KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHO IS THERE.OWNERS, KEYS, GENERAL LAYOUT OF THE BUILDING, ALL THAT STUFF.
IT WAS PRETTY ARCHAIC. THAT TAKES IT UP TO A STATE-OF-THE-ART SYSTEM THAT IS DONE MORE COMMONLY AMONGST EVERYBODY THAT IS DOING IT. STILL ATTACHED AND WE CAN STILL GRAB THAT ON THE WAY TO THE CALL.
ALSO UNIQUELY, WITH THIS PRODUCT, IT GETS ALL OF THE PUBLIC INFORMATION AVAILABLE FROM THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S OFFICE, OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT. NOW NOT ONLY DO I HAVE THE BUSINESS' INFORMATION. I COULD BE... THE DEPARTMENT COULD GO TO YOUR HOUSE, AND IT IS GOING TO PULL, LIKE, FROM THE PROPERTY APPRAISER, YOU KNOW, THE OWNER OF IT.
THE GENERAL SIZE OF IT. A GENERAL LAYOUT OF THE STRUCTURE THAT IS THERE. THE BUILDINGS.
THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. IT TELLS US IF IT HAS A POOL, AN OUTBUILDING. ALL TYPES OF THINGS WE CAN UTILIZE BEFORE WE GET THERE. IT TAKES IT TO THAT... ALL THE WAY DOWN TO RESIDENTIAL LEVEL. ON THE FIRE PREVENTION SIDE, IT WILL DO ALL OF THE... EVERYTING FROM THE INITIAL INSPECTION, THE DOCUMENT OF THAT INSPECTION, ALL THE WAY TO THE INVOICING OF THAT FIRE INSPECTION. IT KEEPS TRACK OF THOSE.
SO THEY ARE DONE ANNUALLY OR DONE IN THE RATE OF OCCURRENCE THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE.
THAT IS IT ON THAT SIDE. >> SO THEY ARE NOT... THERE IS NOT A DATA INPUT, PER SE, IT IS JUST PULLING FROM ALL THE
THERE IS A LOT OF... SO NOT ONLY DOES IT GRAB ALL OF THAT DATA TO GO INTO IT, BUT ALL OF OUR PRE-FIRE PLANNING OR THE INSPECTION, IT GRABS ALL OF THAT AND PUTS IT IN ONE PLACE.
>> OKAY. >> SO IT IS SAFE, SPECIFIC,
COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL. >> THAT IS CORRECT.
>> WOULD THIS BE APPLICABLE TO THE SHERIFF'S SNAWFS.
WE HAVE NOT FULLY LAUNCHED IT OUT TO THEM.
AGAIN, WE ARE STILL MAKING CONNECTIONS.
WE ARE STILL BUILDING EVERYTHING TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
THERE IS EVEN A PIECE IN HERE CALLED COMMUNITY CONNECT WHERE THE ACTUAL BUSINESS OWNERS CAN GO IN THERE AND PUT STUFF IN THEMSELVES. THEY COULD SAY THAT, LOOK, I HAVE A SAFE OR A FILE CABINET IN THIS AREA OF THE BUILDING.
THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME. THAT IT IS IMPERATIVE, IF YOU CAN DO SOMETHING FOR THAT AREA TO GET IT OUT AND BE ABLE TO UPDATE THEIR INFORMATION ON THEIR OWN.
THOSE KIND OF THINGS. FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE STANDPOINT, IF YOU ARE THERE FOR SOME SORT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT MATTER, WE WILL HAVE THE LAYOUT OF THE BUILDING.
WE WILL HAVE ELECTRICAL, PHONE, ALL THE SORT OF THINGS... WHO IS SUPPOSED TO OWN THE BUILDING. HOW IT IS BUILT.
THAT CAN ALL BE VITAL INFORMATION TO THEM AS WELL.
WHEN THEY ARE WORKING THERE. >> YEAH.
>> IF I OWN A BUSINESS, HOW DO I GET THAT INFORMATION? I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. THAT.
>> WE HAVE NOT DONE THE COMMUNITY CONNECT PIECE IN YET BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET THE FORWARD PIECES DONE FIRST.
IT'S ACTUALLY STILL BEING... THIS IS FIRST RENEWAL.
IT IS A MASSIVE PROJECT. IT IS NOT... AGAIN, NOT ONLY TAKING ON... IT IS TAKING ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF WHAT WE DO. THE WHOLE FIRE PREVENTION PIECE, THAT IS KIND OF A PIECE IN AND OF ITSELF.
WHERE YOU HAVE... YOU GO OUT THERE AND DO YOUR INSPECTIONS AND ALL THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. THAT IS A PIECE THAT IS OVER HERE THAT IS OVER THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
OUR PRE-FIRE PLANNING PIECE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF THINGS...
DATA IN THERE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR THE EMPLOYEE TO GO OUT THERE AND DO THE PRE-FIRE PLAN. IT IS AVAILABLE.
WE DID A SOFT LAUNCH A FEW MONTHS AGO.
IT LOOKS EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE. I'M HAPPY TO SHOW IT TO ANY OF YOU THAT WOULD WANT TO SEE IT. ONCE WE GET IT TO THAT POINT WHERE WE START DOING PRE-FIRE PLANS, WE WILL GIVE THAT TO THE BUSINESSES TO SAY HERE, MAYBE A CARD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
YOU CAN UPDATE YOUR OWN INFORMATION IN HERE IF YOU WERE TO HAVE A CHANGE, AN OFFICE MANAGER CHANGE.% PEOPLE WE CAN GET AHOLD OF AFTER HOURS IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES AND
THINGS OF THAT NATURE. >> I KNOW THE CHAIR WILL STAY.
THAT IS ANOTHER REASON WE NEED TO KNOW ALL THE BUSINESSES IN THE COUNTY. WE WOULD BE ADVERTISING THIS,
TOO? >> WE PROACTIVELY GO OUT THERE AND DO PRE-FIRE PLANS. OUR GENERAL WAY THAT WE DO PRE-FIRE PLANS, WE DO A RISK ANALYSIS.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY HURT US OR THE PUBLIC THE MOST? THE OLDER BUILDINGS, THE NON-SPRINKLER, ALL THOSE TYPE OF THINGS, WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO HIT THOSE FIRST.
THERE IS A LOT OF THEM OUT THERE.
THERE IS ONLY SO MANY OF US. FROM THAT ASPECT, THAT WILL START TO ROLL OUT. IT ALSO GETS THE FIREFIGHTERS IN THE BUILDINGS WHERE THEY KNOW THE PEOPLE, THEY KNOW THE BUSINESS OWNERS. AND THEN WHAT WE DO THE NEXT YEAR, WE SWAP THAT. WHERE THE NEXT SHIFT DOES IT.
NOW THE NEXT SHIFT IS THE ONES GOING IN THERE TO MEET THEM AND UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS. THERE IS A WHOLE COMMUNITY ASPECT OF IT AS WELL. IT IS MUCH BETTER FOR ME TO KNOW IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT AND SMOKE EVERYWHERE AND WHATEVER, KIND OF KNOW WHAT'S IN THERE AND KNOW WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO THEM.
THAT SORT OF THING. >> KNOW THAT THEY HAVE PROPANE
TANK INSIDE... >> THAT IS SOMETHING THAT COULD HAPPEN, TOO. YES.
YEAH. >> I ASSUME THIS SOFTWARE IS
FULLY DEVELOPED. THE REASON WHY WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AHEAD OF TIME, IT IS A LICENSURE THING.
[00:15:02]
MUCH LIKE MY I.T. FRIENDS WOULD TELL US, YOU ARE PAYING FOR THELICENSE. >> THE SOFTWARE IS FULLY DEVELOPED. YOU SPEAK TO... OPERATIONALLY, IT IS DEVELOPED HERE IN CLAY COUNTY?
THIS IS DEVELOPED BY THEM. YEAH.
THEY PUT ALL THE PIECES AND PARTS.
IN WE WILL OFFICIALLY START... >> WHO IS THE "WE" IN CCFR?
>> WHO IS THE LEAD? >> YOU SAID "WE" DO IT.
>> AM I LOOKING AT IT? >> THE CHIEF IS THE LEAD WHEN IT COMES TO THE PRE-FIRE PLANNING SIDE.
AND YOU KNOW, THE RESPONSE SIDE. AND THEN CHIEF ROSEBURY WOULD BE THE LEAD ON THE FIRE PREVENTION SIDE.
>> OKAY. >> HE IS SHAKING HIS HEAD YES.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> NO.
I RECOMMEND WE GO CONSENT ON THIS ONE.
[4. Second Amendment and Renewal to Agreement No. 2020/2021-14 for Public Safety Uniforms with Galls, LLC (C. LeRoy / D. Motes)]
ITEM NUMBER FOUR. SECOND AMENDMENT AND RENEWAL TO AGREEMENT WITH PUBLIC SAFETY UNIFORMS.
>> YES, SIR. THIS IS OUR SECOND RENEWAL FOR OUR UNIFORM PURCHASES. THERE WAS A SLIGHT COST INC INCREASE. THEY HAD REACHED OUT TO US BACK IN JANUARY AND WANTED TO DO A COST INCREASE.
WE KIND OF PUSHED BACK AND SAID NO, THAT WE HAVE A CONTRACT.
AND WE WANTED TO UPHOLD IT. NOW THAT OUR RENEWAL TIME IS HERE, THEY HAVE ASKED TO DO SO. IT WAS VERY REASONABLE.
RIGHT IN LINE WITH ALL THE COST INCREASES ACROSS THE BOARD THAT
WE ARE SEEING. >> DOES PUBLIC WORKS TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THIS AT ALL? >> NO, SIR.
OUR UNIFORMS ARE PRETTY SPECIFIC.
>> YES. >> WE BUY A FIRE RESCUE, AN FPA-COMPLIANT UNIFORM FOR FIELD PERSONNEL.
THAT WOULD BE A LITTLE BUILT OF OVERKILL FOR PUBLIC WORKS.
>> I JUST KEEP THINKING OF THOSE WORKING ALONG THE ROADWAYS.
>> REFLECTTIVITY AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
>> YES, SIR. >> I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
[5. Agreement for ProCare Services for EMS Prevent and LifePak with Stryker Sales Corporation (C. LeRoy / D. Motes)]
>> OKAY. WE PUT IT ON THE CONSENT
>> THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER FIVE.
AGREEMENT WITH PRO CARE SER SERVICES.
FOR STRYKER DEVICES. >> YES, SIR.
THIS IS OUR ANNUAL MAINTENANCE CONTRACT.
WE PURSUE THIS EVERY YEAR. THE PRO-CARE SERVICES.
LAST YEAR, WE MERGED THEM TOGETHER.
WE HAVE PRO CARE SERVICES ON OUR STRETCHERS AND STAIR-CHAIRS.
POWER LOADS, THOSE ARE SPECIFIC WITH OUR AMBULANCES.
THEN ALL OF THE ALS APPARATUS HAVE CARDIAC MONITORS AND AED'S AND MOST RECENTLY, OUR LUCAS DEVICES CARRY ON THERE.
THAT IS THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE. IT IS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. SO ANY PARTS, PIECES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. THEY HAVE READY ACCESS TO IT.
THESE ARE ON SITE REPAIRS. INSTEAD OF HAVING TO SHIP A MONITOR TO SOMEWHERE FOR REPAIR, THEY SEND A TECHNICIAN TO OUR FACILITIES AND TAKE CARE OF THEM RIGHT THERE FOR US.
>> DO WE LEASE THESE? HOW DOES THIS WORK?
BUT THEN WE CONTRACT BACK WITH STRYKER FOR THE ANNUAL
THEY DO PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ON EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT ONCE
A YEAR. >> STRYKER SEEMS TO BE THE INDUSTRY STANDARD. ARE THERE OTHER PROVIDERS?
>> THERE IS NOT... STRYKER IS THE ONLY PROVIDER FOR STRYKER EQUIPMENT. THE EQUIPMENT THAT WAS CHOSEN.
THERE ARE CERTAINLY OTHER MANUFACTURERS THAT DO VERY SIMILAR THINGS WITH THEIR PRODUCTS THAT THEY MAY
MANUFACTURE. >> FOR INSTANCE, WHAT IS THE
ALTERNATIVE? >> AN ALTERNATIVE WO WOULD BE A ZOLL CARDIAC MONITOR. PHILLIPS MAKES A MONITOR.
AGAIN, LIKE, YOU CAN'T... IT WOULD BE EQUIVALENT TO FORD AND CHEVROLET PARTS. I CAN'T BUY A CHEVROLET PART AND PUT IT ON A FORD TRUCK. KIND OF IN THAT... WHEN YOU MAKE A LINE, STRYKER CERTAINLY HAS BEEN VERY DURABLE.
I ALWAYS KIND OF LAUGH AND SAY FIREMEN CAN TEAR UP AN ANVIL WITH A RUBBER MALLET. STRYKER, OUR PRODUCTS HAVE HELD
UP QUITE WELL. >> THAT WAS MY OTHER QUESTION.
HOW RELIABLE IS STRYKER? ANYWAY, YOU HAVE ANSWERED IT.
[6. Sixth Amendment to Agreement No. 2019/2020-196 for Owner’s Representative Services for the Bonded Transportation Program with WGI, Inc. (E. Dendor)]
RECOMMEND CONSENT ON THIS ONE. >> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. >> ITEM NUMBER SIX.
SIXTH AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH WGI, I THINK, IF MY COMPUTER EVER WORKS. YUP.
WGI. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS. WITH ME THIS EVENING OR RCH CARLOS CAMPOS AND NANCY CLEMENS AS WELL.
IN WAY OF BACKGROUND FOR THIS AMENDMENT NUMBER SIX FOR WGI, DURING THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE OF THE INITIAL OWNERS REP WORK HOURS FOR THE PROGRAM, ASSUMPTIONS, OF COURSE, WERE MADE ON THE LEVEL OF WORK EFFORT.
THAT WAS BASED ON THE PLANS THAT WE HAD.
[00:20:03]
AND IN THE WAY OF AN EXAMPLE AT THAT TIME, PROJECT NUMBER ONE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE CONCEPT PLANS WERE WELL OVER 14 YEARS OLD AT THAT TIME. ORIGINALLY, PUT TOGETHER UNDER DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL AND PERMITTING CONDITIONS, OF COURSE. AND WHILE ALL THE OTHER SIX PROJECTS REALLY HAD NO PLANS AT ALL.JUST THE CONCEPT. THEY WERE LOOKING FOR ROADWAYS.
SO DUE TO THE LACK OF THE DETAIL LED TO AN UNDERESTIMATION OF THE EFFORTS REQUIRED BY THE OWNERS' TEAMS TO SUCCESSFULLY DO THE WORK, AS PART OF THE ORIGINAL SCOPE, A BROAD BUT MINIMAL ASSUMPTION WAS MADE. WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE PARCELS WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF LAYOUT OR DESIGN PLANS.
IN ADDITION FOR A COMPLETE PROGRAM, THE COUNTY REQUIRED THE OWNERS' REPRESENT TY TEAM TO DELIVER AN ADDITIONAL SCOPE NOT ASSUMED IN THE ORIGINAL HOURS TO EFFECTIVELY AID THE DECISION-MAKING EFFORTS AND TO STAY COMPLIANT WITH CURRENT REGULATIONS. ALL OF THESE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS WERE NOT READILY DEFINABLE WHEN THE ORIGINAL OWNER'S REP SCOPE WAS DEVELOPED. THESE NEEDS ARE ALLOCATED ACROSS MULTIPLE TASKS. RANGING FROM ROADWAY ANALYSIS, DRAINAGE AND STORMWATER ANA ANALYSIS, UTILITY COORDINATION, ENVIRONMENTAL, PERLTING, AND CULTURAL RESOURCE AS WELL AS SURVEY. THE AMOUNT IDENTIFIED IN THE AMENDMENT HAD BEEN ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR AND ALLOCATED IN THE RECENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN BROUGHT BEFORE THE COMMISSIONERS AND THE OCTOBER 11 MEETING.
SO IN GENERAL, THAT IS THE SUMMARY OF THE AMENDMENT.
NUMBER SIX. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS
YOU MAY HAVE. >> GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTIONS.
>> COUNTY MANAGER APPROVES THIS MESSAGE?
>> YES. >> YOU KNOW, IT IS A LONG-TERM PROJECT. AND QUITE HONESTLY, I'LL GIVE A PLUG FOR WGI. I HAVE MET QUITE A FEW OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE WORKING ON THIS PROJECT.
AND IN MY OPINION, THEY ARE TOP-NOTCH.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF VARIABLES IN A LARGE SCOPE PROJECT AS SUCH. SO I CAN SEE WHERE THIS WOULD BE REQUIRED. AND WITH COST OF EVERYTHING TODAY GOING UP, IT IS JUST A SIGN OF THE TIMES RIGHT NOW.
>> I PERSONALLY... I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE CONSENT BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES THAT ARE BEING MADE. I JUST FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO...
THE COMMUNITY, THE CONSTITUENTS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
THAT IS JUST MY FEELINGS ON THAT.
>> WANT IT TO GO TO COMMISSION? WE WILL PUT IT ON THE COMMISSION
>> AND WITH THE SUPPORT, WE M MAY... WE ARE STILL WORKING THAT OUT, WHETHER WE WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THE NEXT MEETING WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY NEXT WEEK OR THE ONE TWO WEEKS OUT.
TO SUPPORT SOME OF THE GI FOLKS WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HERE AT
[7. State-Funded Grant Agreement with Florida Department of Transportation for the Greenways Expansion Project from Live Oak Lane to Jennings State Park (M. Mosley)]

THE SECOND IS THE AUTHORIZING RESOLUTION FOR THE CHAIR AND THE CLERK TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.
AND THE THIRD IS THE APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET RESOLUTION TO MAKE

[00:25:03]
9-0. HARD TO REFUTE THAT.[9. Budget Resolutions for FY22/23 Grants (M. Mosley/R. Kantor)]
>> I WILL PUT IT ON CONSENT. ITEM NUMBER NINE.
BUDGET RESOLUTIONS. REGGIE? OH, NO? MEGAN AND REGGIE.
>> YES. >> REGGIE AND I WORKED ON THIS TOGETHER. THESE WERE BUDGET RESOLUTIONS FOR GRANT AWARDS WE RECEIVED DURING THE END OF OUR BUDGET PROCESS. WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND ADD THEM TO THE NEW FISCAL YEAR. THE FIRST IS A LIBRARY SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGY ACT GRANT FOR $5,875.
TO BE USED TO CREATE A DEDICATED SPACE FOR TEENS AND TWEENS.
NO MATCH REQUIREMENT ON. THAT THE SECOND IS THE FUNDING FOR THE EMERGENCY CONNECTIVITY FUND.
TO PROVIDE SERVICE FOR 40 HOT SPOT DEVICES WITHIN THE LIBRARY SYSTEM. THIS FUNDING BECAME AVAILABLE DURING THE PANDEMIC, AND THIS WAS A NEW ROUND THAT WE WERE WE CAN CONTINUE THAT SERVICE. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE MOST RECENT GRANT AWARD TO BUDGET AS WELL.
THAT IS THAT $4 MILLION. AND THE GRANT AGREEMENT, FINANCE REVIEWED IT LAST TIME. SO...
>> THERE IS NO MATCH FOR ANY OF THESE?
I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >> NO QUESTIONS.
>> NO QUESTIONS. >> PUT IT ON THE CONSENT.
[COUNTY MANAGER]
>> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS EITHER. AND WE ARE ON COUNTY MANAGER
COMMENTS. >> CHAIRMAN, PENDING ANY
QUESTIONS, NO COMMENTS. >> NO COMMENTS.
>> WELL, I JUST WANT TO... WE HAD A GREAT WEEKEND.
GREAT WEATHER. A GREAT FALL FESTIVAL.
PLENTY OF PEOPLE, PLENTY OF KIDS.
PLENTY OF FUN. SO THAT WAS FUNDED BY TDC.
THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF EVENTS THAT WE ALL LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE COUNTY. KIND OF DEFINE THE COUNTY A LITTLE BIT FROM THE RESIDENCE STANDPOINT.
>> ACTUALLY, I DID HAVE SOMETHING.
>> I DON'T KNOW. THERE WAS A THREAT AT CLAY HIGH THIS MORNING. SOME KID POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
SO ANYWAY, I WANTED TO COMMEND THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, THE SC SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL BOARD TOOK CARE OF IT.
THE KID WAS ARREST. THEY LET HIM KNOW THERE WAS ZERO TOLERANCE. I'M VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE KIDS IN THERE.
VERY SCARY. SOMETHING HORRIBLE TO DO.
SO THEY TOOK GOOD CARE OF IT. THEY WERE ON LOCKDOWN FOR A COUPLE OF PERIODS. THEN IT WAS LIFTED.
>> WELL, HOPEFULLY, WE DID IT BY THE BOOK, AS WE PRACTICE.
I GUESS IT WAS ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO, WE HAD AN EXERCISE, SCHOOL SHUTDOWN TYPE OF THING. THAT IS WHAT WE PRACTICE FOR.
ALTHOUGH I DON'T WISH TO EXERCISE IT THAT
