Subsequent to the Workshop, SB 2 was filed on January 23, 2013 in the Florida Senate which proposed, among other things, ethics training for certain elected officials including school board members.  The General Counsel's Office monitored the bill through the legislative process.  It ultimately passed and was signed into law on May 1, 2013 by the Governor.  In pertinent part, it requires four (4) hours of ethics training for elected officials in the areas of sunshine law, public records and code of ethics.  The revised policy is now back on the agenda for first reading and to discuss the impacts of the statutory ethics training requirements.

We reported in the Summary of Audit Activities for the 2012-2013 fiscal year, the completed audits, reviews and trainings. We completed several construction audits, resulting in recommendations to improve internal controls and identified cost recoveries in excess of $1 million, as well as cost avoidance initiatives for the District. We performed operational audits of vendor contracts that identified questioned costs and non-compliance with contract terms that resulted in the District's seeking reimbursement and/recommendations for revisions to contract language and better contract management. In the area of Property and Inventory audits and Internal Fund audits, we continue to see a significant number of audits that are in compliance with all policies, procedures, rules and regulations. We provided significant assistance to management through participation in multiple committees throughout the District. In addition, we provided the Charter School Department with auditing resources in order to monitor financial conditions of the Charter Schools.

The other allocation is for Full Service Schools which include Basic School Health Services and additional specialized services that integrate education, medical, social, and/or human services to meet the needs of the high risk student population and their families on school district property as required by 402.3026, Florida Statutes. These services are provided in accordance with the statutorily required School Health Services Plan (Section 381.0056{3}{e}, Florida Statutes).

This contract outlines the agreement to provide for the costs associated with the provision of special education of the student at the residential facility where APD has recommended placement for non-educational reasons.  The source of the funding for the education of the student is from the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP).  The agreement limits the District's financial responsibility to only those funds generated by the student for a twelve-month period to end on June 30, 2014.

This agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.

There is a financial impact total of $19,544.  The source of funding is the student's allocation from Florida Education Finance
Program (FEFP).

       HH-1. Final Acceptance and Settlement Agreement between The School Board of Broward County, Florida and West Construction, Inc.
Approve the Settlement Agreement between The School Board of Broward County, Florida and West Construction, Inc., and approve the Final Acceptance of the New Ball Fields project at Hallandale Elementary School, Project No: P.000753, (f.k.a. 0593-99-02).

This Agreement is the result of efforts to resolve differences and disputes between West Construction, Inc. ("West") and The School Board of Broward County, Florida (the "SBBC") arising out of an Agreement, dated December 15, 2009 ("Contract"), for Hallandale Elementary School, New Ball Fields P.000753, (f.k.a. 0593-99-02) (hereinafter the "Project").  During construction of the Project, Board-approved changes to the Contract resulted in increases to both the Project scope and duration.  

West sought an amount of $255,213 for work performed and delays it alleged were caused by active owner interference.  Such claim was rejected, in part, by reliance upon the no damages for delay provision in the Agreement, which bars monetary delay claims for active interference.

On or about May 8, 2012, West filed a Complaint against the SBBC styled West Construction, Inc. vs. The School Board of Broward County, Florida, in Broward County Case Number 12-013256 (14), alleging entitlement to damages totaling $255,213.  

Through settlement negotiations, West has agreed to accept compensation from the SBBC with a total value of $73,776.54 in full and complete settlement of its lawsuit (the "Settlement Sum").  The Settlement Sum is comprised solely of the remaining contract balance ($49,945.69) plus an amount for additional work satisfactorily performed ($23,830.85).  The Settlement Sum does not contain any delay damages, attorney's fees or interest.

This item resolves and settles the litigation between the SBBC and West, and authorizes Final Acceptance of the Project, but does not release, waive, compromise or discharge any liability or responsibility of the engineer of record for the Project.  

District staff and the General Counsel's Office recommend approval of the Settlement Agreement as a fair, reasonable and cost-effective resolution of the dispute between the parties.  In conjunction therewith, staff also recommends approval of the Final Acceptance of the Project.

The financial impact is $73,776.54 which will be offset by the project's remaining balance of $62,192 and  $11,585  will come from the Legal and Contingency account.


 
 
 
       HH-2. Settlement Proposal from U.S. Security Associates, Inc., Concerning Services Provided under the Contract Awarded under Bid 27-013T - Security Guard Services
WITHDRAWN

To approve the Settlement Proposal from U.S. Security Associates, Inc., concerning services provided under the contract awarded under Bid 27-013T - Security Guard Services and authorize the Superintendent to execute any related settlement documents.

U.S. Security Associates, Inc., ("U.S. Security") contacted the Supply Management & Logistics Department demanding the payment of pending invoices in the amount of $66,931.48. A district internal audit determined that $42,583.37 was due and owing under the invoices, but disputed $24,348.11 of the pending charges.  In addition, the audit asserted that $129,043.55 in overcharges should be refunded to the district for invoices that had earlier been approved and paid that were not in compliance with contract terms or were paid without supporting documentation furnished to The School Board of Broward County, Florida (SBBC) worksites, such as security guard time logs, as required by contract.  The Office of the General Counsel sent a demand letter to U.S. Security (Exhibit 1) seeking a reduction in the amounts of the pending invoices and a net refund of $86,460.18.   U.S. Security has responded (Exhibit 2) stating that the earlier invoices had been approved and paid by the district and cited legal authority for a defense that the school district waived any claims under the prior invoices.  It also cited district audit findings that the contract "was not properly managed by District Administration" and that the Board had "inadequate internal controls."  U.S. Security has offered to settle all disputes under the contract upon the payment by the school district to U.S. Security of $42,583.37 (the amount found in the internal audit to be billable under the pending invoices) and an exchange of releases.  Unlike current district bidding documents and contract templates, the contract was based upon earlier versions of bidding documents which did not preclude waiver defenses and permit an award of attorney's fees upon default.  Approval of the settlement will reduce the sums payable upon the pending invoices by $24,348.11 (36%), resolve all disputes pending between the parties, and eliminate a potential award of attorney's fees against the district if litigation were instituted by U.S. Security to recover upon the unpaid invoices. U.S. Security has agreed to extend through July 31, 2013 the period within which The School Board may accept the settlement proposal. If its settlement offer is not accepted, U.S. Security states that it will institute suit against The School Board for its full invoiced amount of $66,931.48, pre-judgment interest and attorney's fees.

If approved, the settlement proposal would result in an expense to the school district in the amount of $42,583.37.


 
 
 
       HH-3. Settlement Agreement with Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P., Concerning a Vehicle Lease Service Agreement dated May 8, 2012
To approve the Settlement Agreement with Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P., concerning a Vehicle Lease Service Agreement dated May 8, 2012 and to authorize the Superintendent of Schools or his designee to execute any related settlement documents.

On May 8, 2012, a Vehicle Lease Service Agreement with Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P. ("Penske") was executed by the school district's former Chief of Transportation for a 6-year lease of three vehicles.  The vehicles were modified (e.g. lift-gates, hinges, shelves,, etc.) for the specific purpose of transporting parts and equipment from the centralized parts depot to other terminals in the district.  These vehicles benefit the district by supporting the centralized parts costs-saving initiative implemented during the 2012-13 school year.  The vehicles were not competitively procured as required by Section 6A-6-1.012, F.A.C., and School Board Policy 3320.  In addition, the lease agreement exceeded the period of time permitted for district agreements under Section 1011.14, Florida Statutes, was not submitted to the Office of General Counsel for review as to legal form and content, or submitted to The School Board for approval prior to its execution.  After execution of the lease agreement, Penske obtained the subject vehicles for delivery to the school district and claims to be damaged by reliance upon the lease agreement executed by the former Chief of Transportation.  Representatives from Penske and the school district have negotiated a settlement of the disputes between the parties concerning the lease agreement whereby the school district would pay $162,447.90 to Penske to pay for the cost of the vehicles under the lease agreements in exchange for delivery of the three vehicles to The School Board along with bills of sale and transfers of vehicle titles.  This matter was handled by the Office of the General Counsel without referral to outside counsel and both parties will bear their own respective attorney's fees and costs regarding the dispute as part of the settlement.  The funding source is through the District?s Self-Insurance Retention Fund.

The Settlement Agreement has been approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.

If approved, the Settlement Agreement would result in an expense to the school district in the amount of $162,447.90 paid from the District?s Self-Insurance Retention Fund.


 
 
 
       HH-4. Approval of Quote and Software License Agreement with Attachmate Corporation
To approve the Quote and Software License Agreement with Attachmate Corporation.

The district purchased several versions of Attachmate's EXTRA! software product from 1997 through 2003.  This product allows desktop computers to communicate to the mainframe computer.  Under the software's licensing agreement, Attachmate conducted a compliance review in May 2012 and determined that the district had over-deployed the software products in excess of the paid licenses and asserted a demand concerning use without first procuring the necessary additional licenses.  The district negotiated the attached Quote and Software License Agreement to resolve the claim and secure the right to use the software.  The agreement permits the district to upgrade all computers needing the product to the current version of EXTRA! X-treme v9.2, requires the removal of all obsolete versions of the software on any other computers, and requires the district to run a compliance report to ensure that the agreement terms are met.  This item is brought as an HH-item as the agreement includes Attachmate?s release of any claims it could make against the district for the over-deployment of software and $300,000 of the sums payable will be paid from the district?s Self-Insurance Retention Fund.  The remaining $50,000 will be paid from the Information and Technology budget.  

The agreement has been approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.   

If approved, this item will be funded in the amount of $300,000 from the district?s Self-Insurance Retention Fund and $50,000 from the Information and Technology budget.

       LL-1. Agreement with Memorial Healthcare for Athletic Trainer Services
Approve Agreement with Memorial Healthcare to provide athletic trainer and physician services to student athletes attending eight Broward County Public High Schools.  The Agreement runs from August 6, 2013 through August 5, 2014.

The athletic trainer program between Memorial Healthcare and The School Board of Broward County, Florida, is consistent with the intent of Florida Statute 1012.46, Athletic Trainers.  Pursuant to this provision, the goal of the Legislature is to have school districts employ and have available an athletic trainer in each high school.  School districts may establish and implement the athletic injuries prevention and treatment program.  Central to this program should be employment and availability of persons trained in the prevention and treatment of physical injuries that may occur during athletic activities.

There is an increase in financial costs to the school system for athletic trainer services in 2013-2014 in the amount of $12,600.  The financial impact has remained unchanged since the 2009-2010 fiscal year.  This is the first increase in the contract since the 2009-2010 fiscal year.

The School Board of Broward County, Florida, has contracted with Memorial Healthcare for the past five years to provide athletic trainer and physician services at high schools located in Memorial Healthcare?s service zone (approximately 8 high schools).  The athletic trainer provides immediate and essential services to protect the safety and welfare of students engaged in interscholastic sports.  The function of the athletic trainer is to provide services regarding the prevention, recognition, emergency care, treatment and rehabilitation to student athletes.  The athletic trainer directs the high schools sports medicine programs.  

Licensed and nationally certified athletic trainers hold the highest level of skill and training in the sports medicine industry.  Athletic trainers have extensive educational background in human anatomy, human physiology biomechanics and exercise physiology.  Nationally certified trainers are trained in six major practice domains: prevention, clinical evaluation and diagnosis, immediate care, treatment, rehabilitation and reconditioning, organization and administration and professional responsibility.  Athletic trainers are critical to the health, welfare and safety of student athletes.  Trainers are the first responders to students injured at practices and games.

Under the agreement, Memorial Healthcare will provide the following contractual services:

* Staff each high school with a licensed and nationally certified trainer.  The athletic trainers must be certified by the National Board of Certification (BOC) and be licensed by the State of Florida.
* The certified athletic trainer conducts clinical assessment and administers standard techniques of first aid to the acutely ill/injured athlete, protecting the athlete from further injury.  The athletic trainers educate the student athlete and provide direct services to the athlete on hydration, concussion recognition and awareness, conditioning, nutrition, performance, enhancement training and injury care.  All athletic trainers are certified in CPR and First Aid.  Before practices and games, the athletic trainers prepare athletes with pre-game taping, padding and bracing joints and limbs.
* Memorial Healthcare certified trainers will attend all football games, practices and other high trauma athletic events to provide immediate assessment, evaluation and basic treatment.
* The certified athletic trainers shall serve as the cornerstone of the school system's concussion management program.

Memorial Healthcare is responsible for hiring, employing, insuring and paying all athletic trainers.  The School Board does not pay any fringe benefit costs for athletic trainer services. The cap on the number of hours performed by each athletic trainer is 1,212.  It is important to note that the hourly rate of athletic trainers is $30.00 per hour.  The equivalent dollar value of an athletic trainer based on 1,212 hours is $36,360 per trainer.  The accumulative dollar value under this contract is $290,880 ($36,360 x 8 trainers).  Even with a cap on hours, the district is receiving a $290,880 value for a total cost of $192,600.  The athletic trainers season begins with the first day of fall sports practice on August 6, 2013.

Consistent with Florida Statute 1012.46, Dade County Public Schools and Palm Beach School Board provide nationally certified trainers at their high schools.  A comparison of the costs and benefits of the program are provided below.  It should be noted that to replicate the Dade model in Broward would cost in excess of $2,000,000.  The Dade model employs full time trainers and pays them on the teacher's salary schedule.  Further, Dade County trainers? compensation includes full fringe benefit package.

Employment Status; Hours; School Board Cost; Trainer Certification;
Dade County; Full time employees No cap on hours; $70,000 per year with benefits per athletic trainer; Yes, licensed and nationally certified
Palm Beach County; Contract with multiple agencies for part time services; 1,000 hours per year;  $22,500 per athletic trainer; Yes, licensed and nationally certified
Broward County; Contract with Memorial Healthcare for part-time services; Cap on hours per trainer, per year is 1,212  (Value is $36,360); $24,075 per athletic trainer; Yes, licensed and nationally certified

This agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.  The agreement has been approved by Memorial Healthcare.

The total financial impact for the 2013-2014 school year is $192,600.  The source of funding is $180,000 from the general fund restricted budget allocation for Memorial Healthcare trainers and $12,600 from the unappropriated general fund.
