U.S. Highway 301 with Belmont Real Estate, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, Highland CDD Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company,

a carbon credit program. Staff should report back with a plan in 60 days.

CONSENT AGENDA
***County Administrator's Organization***
Code Enforcement and Pet Resources
A-1
Approve the release of the demolition lien assessed by Resolution #R11-055 in the amount of $6,171.09 plus
interest for a total of $7,498.14 against the property located at 6407 N 47TH St., Tampa FL 33619, Folio
#039877.0000 for the costs incurred by the County for the demolition and removal of a deteriorated structure
and removal of trash, junk and debris. Property owner has paid in full all demolition costs incurred with removing
the structure(s) and a release of lien is being requested.
A-2
Approve the release of the demolition lien assessed by Resolution #R14-001 in the amount of $7,638.66 plus
interest for a total of $8,107.38 against the property located at 5316 Edina St Wimauma FL 33598, Folio
#079372.0000 for the costs incurred by the County for the demolition and removal of a deteriorated structure
and removal of trash, junk and debris. Property owner has paid in full all demolition costs incurred with removing
the structure(s) and a release of lien is being requested.
A-3
Approve a resolution assessing a lien in the amount of $7,459.52 against the property located at 4426 Lurline Cr.
Tampa FL 33610, folio #039680.5070 for the cost incurred by the County for demolition and removal of a
dilapidated structure and removal of trash, junk and debris. The $7,459.52 incurred to demolish and remove the
dilapidated structure was funded from the Code Enforcement FY 15 budget. Upon sale of the property,
reimbursement of all costs will be sought. Should the lien be unsatisfied after the expiration of two years from
the date of filing, the proper County personnel will investigate enforcement of the lien by foreclosure action.
County Attorney's Office
A-4
Direct staff to amend the Hillsborough County Emergency Management Ordinance 06-13, codified as Chapter
22, Article II of the Hillsborough County Code of Ordinances and Laws, Sections 22-19 through 22-30,
authorizing the establishment of the Office of Emergency Management and its Director at the County level, and
to bring the ordinance in line with changes to the state statutes. The County will incur no additional costs related
to the amendment of this ordinance.
Economic Development
A-5
Adopt a resolution amending and restating Resolution No. R13-123 in support of the Tampa Hillsborough
Economic Development Corporation's ('EDC') Prospect #13-020 (the 'Prospect'), as a Qualified Applicant to
Florida's Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund Program. The attached resolution extends the term of the QTI
tax refund, thereby allowing the Prospect additional time to take advantage of benefits under the QTI agreement
while simultaneously extending the job maintenance requirements. This action neither increases nor decreases
Hillsborough County's local financial support ('LFS') of $359,400 spread over a minimum of six years, however,
it defers the LFS pay-out schedule which will now begin in FY 17 and extend to FY 24.
Health Care Services
A-6
Approve, for Health Care Services Department, the First Modification to Agreement #14-1147 with West
Florida-MHT, LLC, D/B/A Memorial Hospital of Tampa for the provision of hospital health care services to the
Hillsborough County Health Care Plan, (HCHCP) funded by the Indigent Health Care Surtax, adding the
provision of Emergency Room (ER) services as part of the Agreement for the contract term ending June 30, 2015
and for the remainder of the Agreement. Funding for this Agreement is included in the Department's revised FY
15 and requested FY 16 budgets. No additional County funds are required.

Library Services
A-7
A) Accept the State of Florida State Aid to Libraries grant funds of $1,233,292 to assist in library operations. B)
Appropriate $261,705 and realign $971,587 within the FY 14-15 grant to bring the budget in line with the grant
award and better track expenditures. This budget amendment increases the FY 15 budget by $261,705 from
$971,587 to $1,233,292. In addition, the budget realigns $971,587 within the grant. No additional County funds
are required.
Management and Budget
A-8
Receive report from Management and Budget regarding the Status of Reserves for Contingencies in the Tax
Fund FY 15 as of March 5, 2015.
A-9
Approve a Budget Amendment to adjust the FY 15 adopted beginning fund balances to the actual FY 14 year
end fund balances. The net result of the proposed budget revisions is an increase of $306,340 in fund balances.
This budget amendment will be adjusting fund balances against expenditures, reserves, capital projects, operating
accounts, debt service accounts and transfers as shown in the attached line item detail. This annual true-up of
fund balances is good accounting/budgeting practice and will enhance budgetary and cash control.
A-10 Approve a $100,000 and above threshold for placing the Reserve for Contingency agenda item on the Board's
regular agenda. Currently, an agenda item is placed on each Board meeting agenda to update the Board on the
reserve for contingency balances for each of the County's three major tax funds. The current practice is to place
this item on the consent agenda unless there is a change in one of the balances. In an effort to make Board
meeting agenda's more efficient, County Administration is requesting that a $100,000 threshold for placing the
item on the regular agenda be adopted. Approval of this item will have no financial impact.
Procurement Services
A-11 Award and execute the agreement and Statement of Work with First Data Government Solutions, LP, for the
sole source purchase of AccessNet Software Interactive Voice-Web Response Maintenance and Support (File
No. 5211) in the amount of $576,000.00 for the Public Utilities Department (PUD). This agreement will be in
effect from April 1, 2015, through March 31, 2019. A 'Notice of Intent to Sole Source' was posted on the
department's web site; no challenges were received. This project will enhance functionality for customer
payments made through the telephone or Internet. In addition, authorize the Project Manager to negotiate, to a
maximum amount of $50,000.00 as authorized in the Agreement, Page 3; Item 4.3 and to sign future statement
of works on behalf of the County. Furthermore, approve an increase to the existing contract (File No. S-032307/EM) in the amount of $5,309.05 to pay for Paypoint transactions through the extension period of March 31,
2015. PUD determined the pricing to be fair and reasonable based on historical contract pricing. There are
sufficient funds in the department's operating budget. Purchase orders will only be issued against approved
budgets.
A-12 Award to Gerber Pumps International, Inc., (GPI) for Gerber Discflo Pumps (File No. SS-P-0217-0-2014/MWK)
in the amount of $253,960.00 for the Public Utilities Department (PUD). This contract will be in effect for a two
(2) year period beginning on the effective date shown on the purchase order and ending on the last day of the
final month. A 'Notice of Intent to Sole Source' was posted on the department's web site; no challenges were
received. GPI is the sole distributor for the Discflo Corporation, which has the sole propriety rights for Disc
Pump Design for water and wastewater applications in the State of Florida. This is a pilot project using a new
design of pumps for the Valrico Advanced Waste Water Treatment Facility (AWWTF). Debris in the return
system is causing the current pumps to clog and stop resulting in production downtime, increased maintenance
to repair, and the usage of rental backup pumps. PUD has determined the pricing to be fair and reasonable, based
on comparative pricing of similar pumps at other municipalities. There are sufficient funds in the Discflo Pumps
Pilot Test and Purchase, CIP 10200 budget to accommodate the project.

Reconstruction Services, Inc., Ashbritt, Inc., and Phillips & Jordan, Inc. This extension is required to keep these

A-21 Approve the First Modification Agreement to BOCC Doc. No. 14-0218, Bid No. ITB-P-0196-0-2014/MWK,

agreement is set to expire on March 31, 2015. The purpose of this First Modification is to continue providing
routine elevator maintenance and repair for the Edgecomb Court Facilities consolidated under one contract,
which is now performance based. This First Modification Agreement adds the Edgecomb facilities at existing
pricing of $135,000.00 annually. Therefore, the contract limit is increased by $135,000.00 from $364,050.00 to
$499,050.00 for the one year remaining on the base period, from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016. Then,
beginning April 1, 2016 if the two-year renewal is exercised, this First Modification will increase the renewal
amount by another $135,000.00 from $499,050.00 to $634,050.00 for the period of April 1, 2016 to March 31,
2018. Since the work is moving to a new contract at existing pricing, no additional expenditures are expected as
a result of this modification. Anticipated expenditures are to be paid by approved department budgets, funded
in the Countywide General Fund.
A-22 Approve the Easement Agreement with Tampa Electric Company for electrical service installed as part of the
South County YMCA facility at Vance Vogel Park. This easement is required as part of the improvements

A-25 Approve an Amendment to Mutual Use Agreement with Tampa Bay Water (TBW) to incorporate expansion of
an existing County utility easement serving the Crossroads Town Center development located on Falkenburg
Road, north of Causeway Boulevard, in Brandon. TBW maintains a superior pipeline easement interest over a
portion of the County's easement area thereby requiring an amendment to the original Mutual Use Agreement
which sets out the terms and conditions for joint use of the common property. The cost associated with this item
is limited to recording fees of less than $100.00, which can be adequately accommodated within the Real Estate
and Facilities Services Department's currently approved operating budget.
A-26 Approval of a Drainage Easement by donation from Clublink US Corporation required for the maintenance of
an existing stormwater pipeline located west of Stoneham Drive and Smithfield Lane. There is a one-time
expenditure associated with this transaction of approximately $100. The financial impact of this agenda item

Procurement Services
B-7
Award ITB-P-0014-0-2015/MWK to the only bidder, Polydyne, Inc., (Polydyne), in the amount of $3,455,910.00
for liquid polymer used by the Public Utilities Department (PUD) to treat wastewater solids at various wastewater
treatment plants. This contract will be effective for two (2) years, beginning on the effective date shown on the
purchase order and ending on the last day of the final month. In accordance with the Procurement Manual
(Recommendation for Award When Only One Bid is Received) a single bid analysis was performed. The
solicitation was advertised and posted on the department's web site, notification was sent to 1,620 potential
vendors, of which, 23 vendors downloaded the solicitation documents. Polydyne is a manufacturer of liquid
polymer; therefore, distributors and resellers are less likely to offer more competitive pricing due to required
mark-ups and extra handling. PUD staff generally finds the pricing offered by Polydyne to be fair, reasonable,
and approximately 9% less than the current contract's pricing. Based on the Economic Development
Department's review of the requirements, no certified Disadvantaged Minority/Disadvantaged Women Business
Enterprises or registered Small Business Enterprises were listed for the subject work category or commodity.
There are sufficient funds in the department's operating budget. Purchase orders will only be issued against
approved budgets.
Social Services
B-8
Approve, for the Department of Social Services, the FY 15 Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
(LIHEAP) Agreement, Contract Number 15EA-0F-08-39-01-012, with the State of Florida Department of
Economic Opportunity in the amount of $3,293,116 in federal funds effective upon execution by both parties or
April 1, 2015, whichever is earlier, and ending March 31, 2016. No advance or reimbursements will be processed
by the State of Florida Department of Economic Opportunity until the contract is executed by both parties. The
grant will be utilized to fund personnel, as well as operating costs and direct energy assistance payments for lowincome households. There is no fiscal impact at this time on the County's budget. Upon execution of the
agreement a budget amendment shall be submitted to align the County's budget to the actual grant award amount.
This is a cost reimbursement agreement. Although the LIHEAP program requires no matching funds, and is
entirely grant funded, administration of the program is supplemented by the general fund.
B-9
Approve a Resolution to adopt the Community Action Board as the Community Services Block Grant
Committee. The resolution enumerates duties and responsibilities of the Community Action Board members
with respect to their role concerning the Community Services Block Grant administered by the Social Services
Department. This resolution will be effective as of July 1, 2015. Implementation of this resolution will not
create a financial impact to the approved FY 15 CSBG budget.
