PUBLIC COMMENTS

Carlos Buqueras, Executive Director, stated a public comment was received in the absence of a citizen, questioning the value and benefit of Port Manatee lobbyist services in Washington, D.C. Also questioned was lobbying services for the County.

Chairman Bellamy stated the lobbying services for the County would be addressed during the County Commission meeting.

Dave Sanford, Deputy Executive Director, addressed the benefits to the Port in having lobbyist representation in Washington, D.C. The Port has realized continued success in working with Jocelyn Hong as lobbyist. Ms. Hong has secured $10 million of direct benefit to the Port and has rallied the delegation such that Washington, D.C., recognizes Port Manatee. The return on investment is exceptional, and staff does not recommend any change in this relationship.

By telephone, Glen Gibellina thanked Mr. Sanford for the explanation and requested further clarification as to the amount of the contract with Ms. Hong.

Denise Stufflebeam, Port Finance Director, stated Ms. Hong’s contract is for

$60,000/year, at $5,000/month.

There being no further public comment, First Vice-Chairman Bellamy closed public comment.

2. RAILROAD TRACK REHABILITATION PROJECT, PHASE I AND II

   Mr. Buqueras requested approval and authorization for the Chairman to execute the Contract and First Amendment between the Manatee County Port Authority and the lowest, responsive bidder, R.W. Summers Railroad Contractor, Inc., in the amount of $1,098,909, for the railroad rehabilitation project, Phases I and II, pending receipt of all bond documents.

   
   

   The Contract allows for the rehabilitation of the Port’s seven miles of railroad track, encompassing a complete rebuilt of the tracks. The contract amount will be funded by both the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT; 65 percent), and Florida DOT (24 percent) grant proceeds, with the balance funded by Port Cash (11 percent). The parties also desired to amend the contract to clarify that the bidder must comply with specific, Federal requirements, because the project is funded in part by a U.S. DOT Grant.

   
   

   In response to question, Mr. Buqueras spoke about the Port’s two, new engines, one of which was purchased with a Federal grant. The Port has been using both engines on a daily basis.

   
   

   A motion was made by Member Whitmore and seconded by Member Servia, to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the Contract and First Amendment between the Manatee County Port Authority and R.W. Summers Railroad Contractor, Inc., in the amount of

   $1,098,909, for the railroad rehabilitation project pending receipt of all bond documents. The motion carried 7-0. PA20201215DOC010

3. PORT MANATEE TARIFF NUMBER 3

Mr. Buqueras requested approval of Port Manatee Tariff Number 3 Additions, Changes and/or Increases, effective January 1, 2021. The Port Tariff has increased by four percent per year since 2012, but is being decreased to two and one-half percent, given recent economic conditions attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Discussion ensued that there have been no objections to the nominal tariff increases, which can be discounted based on volume incentives, Port Manatee rates are slightly higher than other ports, because Port Manatee gives exceptional individualized service, and each contract is negotiable.

A motion was made by Member Whitmore, seconded by Member Servia, and carried 7-0, to approve the recommended motion to approve Port Manatee Tariff Number 3 Additions, Changes and/or Increases, effective January 1, 2021. PA20201215DOC011

PORT DIRECTOR COMMENTS

Mr. Buqueras stated Port Manatee continues to work actively, net revenues and earnings continue to grow, and companies at the Port are looking for stevedores. Port Manatee anticipates supersizing in the future to handle the need for increased cargo generated by new, anticipated residents. Port companies have not had layoffs and workers are needed.

He reviewed the requirements to become a stevedore, salaries vary by the company, entry level would be part-time to determine dedication with the ability to transition to full time and higher pay to operate Port equipment, a career can be made at the Port, there are Union and non-Union stevedores, range of salaries, companies are having a hard time sourcing labor in warehouses, working vessels and equipment operators, Port attempts to notice jobs, a new position has been created to recruit labor, and the Port is working with - Chairman Bellamy on getting transit ridership to the Port for workers.

c/o Jennifer R. Cowan, Esq.

Re: Bond Counsel Engagement Letter for its Manatee County Port Authority Taxable Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2021 (the “2021 Bonds”)

Dear Authority Members:

Greenberg Traurig, P.A. (the “Firm”) has been serving as bond counsel to the Manatee County Port Authority (the “Authority”) since 1994. I have been the principal attorney responsible for the bond counsel services provided by the Firm since that time. The Firm also serves as bond counsel to Manatee County. In the past, the fees we have charged the Authority for bond counsel services were based on the fee schedule we have with Manatee County. After discussions with both the County Attorney and Jennifer Cowan, it was determined a better practice would be to have a separate engagement with the Authority for each bond issue.

With respect to the above-referenced 2021 Bonds, we propose a fee of $1.25 per thousand plus $10,000 because these 2021 Bonds are refunding bonds. This fee proposal is the same that we would charge Manatee County for the same type issue.

As bond counsel, we would draft the necessary resolutions, escrow deposit agreement and review and comment on the preliminary and final official statements prepared by disclosure counsel. We would also deliver our final approving opinion as to the validity of the 2021 Bonds. The only expenses we would charge the Authority would be for any overnight delivery service we would use and that charge would be at actual cost. After the 2021 Bonds are issued, we would prepare a final bond transcript in the form of a CD. Again, we would bill the Authority the actual cost of the CDs. Total out of pocket expenses should not exceed $1,000.00.

If for any reason the Authority shall abandon issuing the 2021 Bonds, our proposed bond counsel fee would not exceed $30,000 for the work already performed. On the other hand, if the Authority is unable to issue the 2021 Bonds for any legal reason, we would not bill the Authority except for any out of pocket expenses we may have incurred.

Public Records

The Firm agrees to comply with the Florida Public Records Act, as applicable, including, but not limited to, Section 119.0701 of the Florida Statutes. The Firm agrees, to the extent required by law, to:

1. Keep and maintain public records that ordinarily and necessarily would be required by the public agency in performing the services of the Agreement;

   
   

2. Provide the public with access to the public records under the same terms and conditions that the Authority would provide the records and at a cost that does not exceed the cost provided for by law;

   
   

3. Ensure that the public records that are exempt or confidential, and exempt from public record disclosure requirements, are not disclosed, except as authorized by law; and

   
   

4. Meet all requirements where retained public records and transfer, at no cost, to the Authority, all public records in possession of the Firm, upon termination or completion of this engagement and destroy any duplicate public records that are exempt or confidential, or exempt from public record disclosure requirements.

Furthermore, the Firm agrees that all records stored electronically shall be provided to the Authority in a format that is compatible with the information technology systems of the Authority. The Firm shall promptly provide the Authority with a copy of any request to inspect or copy public records that the Firm receives and a copy of the Firm’s response to each request. The Firm understands and agrees that failure to provide access to the public records shall be a material breach of this engagement and grounds for termination.

$7,890,197.90, funded 50% by FDOT. Change Order 002 in the amount of $82,334.00 is requested for the encasement in concrete of the duct bank. During design, the encasement was not considered justified due to the possibility of excavation. The current design calls for backfill with onsite material which has been determined to be unsuitable. FDOT has reviewed and approves of the change order.

Senior Directo r and Port Engineer

RE: Intermodal Cargo Yard Expansion

Quote No 2322-00B RI -Additional Concrete Encasement for buried conduits Dear Mr. Isiminger :

As a follow up to our discussion regarding the additional concrete encasement for buried conduit , we are pleased to

offer the following for your considerat ion :

• Please note that, we are only providing a proposal for encasing conduits in concrete that were originally shown to be soil encased as shown on drawing E-502, Detail 2.

• This detail indicates that the conduit shall be backfilled with structural fill to 98% of the modified proctor density.

• Currently, there appears to be a question where and when concrete should be used for encasement and also if in certain areas that we should still be using soil or concrete.

• As, I understa pd it cu rrently, we will defi1,1itely be using concrete enc sement around conduits th t will be in the travel way subject to traffic and any areas that are not subject to traffic loading now or maybe in a non­ traffic area such as a curbed reefer island in the future that this would not require concrete encasement.

• It is important to note that even if the area does not require concrete encasement it still will be ineffective to use the in-situ material for use as a backfill and still maintain reasonable conduit la yout/spacing. While, the in-situ material still meets structural backfill criteria as it is acceptable to build the pavement on top of, it does not have a gradation or characteristics that lends itself to backfilling around small diameter PVC conduits with 2" spacing and a typical duct bank orientat ion .

• An alternative to using concrete for encasement in areas that will not be subject to traffic loading but we still have the concern with proper placement and compaction would be to use flowable fill.

• It is important to note that both the flowable fill and concrete encasement both reduce the compactive effort required to place soil, this labor savings is offset by the concrete or flowable fill material costs as well as the labor and material costs to properly anchor the conduit to avoid flotation and/or displacement during the pouring of concrete or flowable fill.

• Fin ally, the concrete encasement provides a permanent measure of protection for the power conduits from future excavation due to excavation regardless of the configuration and location in or out of a traffic area.
