8. L. SECTOR 3 BEACHAND DUNERESTORATIONPROJECT CHANGE ORDER
NO. 5 — CONTRACT EXTENSION RANGER CONSTRUCTIONIND USTRIES.
INC. •
Commissioner O ' Bryan supported moving this forward in order to complete the project,
but questioned whether there would be a Phase 4 , whether it would be extended again, and
wondered about the deadlines and penalties that would ensure this project is completed without
further extensions . He wanted Ranger Construction Industries , Inc . (Ranger) to know that if they
do not have the project completed within the time allocated, they need to have sand stockpiled
and ready for delivery.
Public Works Director Chris Mora explained the incentives that were built into the
contract to keep the project on track . He believed there would be plenty of time to finish hauling
the remaining 108 , 000 cubic yards of sand to the beach as long it is stockpiled now, for delivery
starting in November.
County Coastal Engineer James Gray reported that the County has not received the .
Notice to Proceed from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) on Phase 2 -
t 141 PG 082
July 5 , 2011 8
remainder, and after having conversations with FDEP , staff did not foresee anything that would
disqualify the completion of the remaining project. He clarified that FDEP wanted to ensure
there would be no project performance issues from previous phases , and that the determination
would be made after the turtle nesting season. He said that staff has been submitting monthly sea
turtle nesting data reports to the Fish and Wildlife Service, and did not feel there would be a
problem receiving the Special Use Permit from the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge .
Vice Chairman Wheeler voiced concerns over the contract, the extension, and payment to
the truckers and dredge operators . He wanted to know if the County has the authority to make a
contract correction, or if there is anything that can be done in the future to avoid nonpayment to
subcontractors .
Director Mora pointed out that it would be difficult to change the existing contract
because Ranger subcontracts the work out, not the County . He conveyed that prior to ending the
project and making the final payment, staff will be requiring all subcontractors to sign off on a
Release of Lien, which will provide assurance that they have been paid up to a certain date .
County Administrator Joseph Baird explained the confusion of the truckers and the
dredge operators , who thought the fuel cost adjustment would apply to Phase 1 and Phase 1 -
remainder sand, as it did for Phase 2 sand . He revealed that the County Attorney ' s office had
advised staff to not get involved in the situation at this time . Administrator Baird felt it would be
best to wait for the Release of Lien.
Commissioner Flescher wanted the project completed as quickly as possible . He
reiterated concerns over the prepayment for stockpiled sand, another Change Order, and fuel cost
adjustment disbursements . He questioned the payment process for subcontractors , and wanted to
know if they had received disbursement from Ranger .
BK 141 PG 083
July 5 , 2011 9
Patrick Flynn , Ranger Construction Industries , Inc . , confirmed that Ranger disbursed the •
majority of funds to their subcontractors , but expressed that his company had not been paid for
the last fuel price adjustment, or the last sand material .
Director Mora informed the Board that all the invoices that staff felt needed to be paid
had been submitted for payment, and that all pending invoices currently being processed will be
paid as soon as possible . He reiterated the confusion with the truckers thinking the fuel cost
adjustment also applied to Phase 1 and Phase 1 -remainder sand, and stated that the issue has
since been resolved .
Administrator Baird verified that Ranger has paid the truckers and mine operators for the
fuel adjustment, but the mine operators have not yet paid the dredge operators .
Steve Smith , Ranch Road Lake Mine (subcontractor), assured the Board that he had been
pre-paid for the fuel adjustment according to what the County disbursed to Ranger. He conveyed
that the money was paid to their satisfaction ; however, he could not address certain issues due to
attorney involvement.
Commissioner O ' Bryan wanted to know if the Change Order is approved today, if Mr.
Smith would have a dredge on site so the sand could be stockpiled immediately .
Mr. Smith said he signed a contract last week for a dredge, and it is on the way to him .
Chuck Kramer, Fischer and Sons , felt the Board was moving in the right direction
regarding the disbursement of funds, but thought they should examine the phases as separate
entities . He encouraged staff to ensure that everyone is paid for the fuel cost adjustment because
the participants in the first two phases might not take an interest in the third phase ,
F W18 14I PG 0184
July 5 , 2011 10
. Chairman Solari suggested the County Attorney ' s office review this situation because he
did not want the Board to interfere with the existing contract, and he also wanted to ensure the
taxpayer ' s interests are being protected .
In response to Commissioner O ' Bryan, Mr. Kramer said his company did not receive a
fuel cost adjustment.
Mr. Kramer believed it would be better to resolve past issues before moving forward ,
since it will directly affect the future final phase . He was worried that as a contractor, if his
company does not participate in the final phase , they would no longer have the means to recover
payment from prior phases .
Commissioner O ' Bryan felt the situation should be resolved since Change Order No . 5
with Ranger would be extending the expired construction contract project.
• Commissioner Davis urged the Board to be careful . He did not feel the Board could
remedy anything that may go to litigation .
ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by
Chairman Solari , the Board unanimously approved
Change Order No . 5 with Ranger Construction Industries ,
Inc . , as recommended in the memorandum of June 27 ,

The Chairman opened the Public Hearing . There being no speakers , the Chairman closed
the Public Hearing .
Corbett Alday , Guardian Community Resource Management Group, briefly conducted
the Fair Housing Workshop . He reviewed the citizen' s participation plan requirements that will
assist staff in applying for the CDBG . He provided the background and focus of the CDBG
program, the application process , and the four grant categories that the County would be eligible
to apply for (housing rehabilitation, commercial revitalization, neighborhood revitalization, and
economic development) .
Vice Chairman Wheeler clarified that the primary use of the grant funds would be for
sewer projects . Director Olson acknowledged the funds would be used for sewer projects , but
hoped some could be used for stormwater cleanup and drainage improvements .
Commissioner O ' Bryan supported the submittal of the grant application but felt the •
likelihood of receiving the funding would be slim because during a Statewide Regional Planning
Council meeting, a Trade Association Attorney based out of Washington, D . C . , revealed that the
current mood in Washington, D . C . , with the budget cuts , is that local CDBG project funding
would be almost nil .
ON MOTION by Commissioner Flescher, SECONDED
by Commissioner Davis , the Board unanimously : ( 1 ) held
the Fair Housing Workshop ; (2) opened the first public
hearing to obtain public input regarding the County ' s
community development needs ; and (3 ) directed staff to
pursue the new Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funding, as recommended in the memorandum of

County ' s target industries, and as such, qualifies for a local jobs grant. Currently , SMI Telecoms
employs 43 employees worldwide and plans to locate alongside NetBoss, a company who
• received a local jobs grant in May of this year. He informed the Board that SMI Telecoms plans
BK 141 PG 089
July 5 , 2011 15
to hire about 25 employees , which qualifies them for a local jobs grant of up to $ 169 , 000 . 00 .
The money will be paid out in three (3 ) phases over a five (5 ) year period, starting one year after
the jobs in that phase are created .
Helene Caseltine, Economic Development Director for the Indian River County
Chamber of Commerce, expressed delight that SMI Telecom, LLC is considering moving to
Indian River County, and attributes that to NetBoss CEO Jim Odom for promoting his
company ' s recent move to this County. She thereafter introduced Phil Brooks , CEO of SMI
Telecoms .
Phil Brooks , CEO , SMI Telecoms , LLC , using a PowerPoint presentation (on file)
provided an overview of his company, his product portfolio , growth plans within the United

with a lot of baby steps, and it is starting to come into fruition with local businesses
recommending and recruiting other businesses .

COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT HOUSING ASSISTANCE PLAN
Director Keating reviewed the memorandum dated June 23 , 2011 , providing description,
conditions, and analysis pertaining to the proposed modification to the Neighborhood
Stabilization Program (NSP) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Housing
Assistance Plan (HAP) . He explained how the proposed amendment would affect only the resale
portion of the program, not the rental . He reported that together with the Housing Authority, the
County had purchased 19 houses so far, and sold four; and that most of the others have been
rehabilitated and are currently on the market for sale . He said this proposed amendment would
change the required down payment for buyers of NSP houses from 1 . 75% of the sale price to
$ 500 . 00 , which will allow more NSP buyers to be eligible to purchase homes, and most likely
increase the sale of NSP homes . He thereafter explained the sale process of NSP homes and the
benefits of the program .
Commissioners Wheeler and Davis voiced their disapproval and reasons for not
supporting the proposed modification .
ON MOTION by Commissioner O ' Bryan, SECONDED
by Commissioner Flescher, the Board by a 3 .2 vote
(Commissioners Davis and Wheeler opposed) approved
the proposed change to the Neighborhood Stabilization
Program (NSP) Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Housing Assistance Plan, and authorized the
Chairman to execute the revised Housing Assistance Plan,
as recommended in the memorandum of June 23 , 2011 .
