This action supports the Broward County Board of County Commissioners' Value of "Ensuring economic opportunities for Broward's diverse population and businesses" and the Goal to "Increase the economic strength and impact of revenue-generating County enterprises balancing economic, environmental, and community needs."
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) established a County Business Enterprise (CBE) participation goal of 25% for this Agreement. Atkins North America, Inc. (Atkins) has committed to a 27% CBE participation, which has been reviewed and approved by OESBD. As part of the negotiations for the Second Amendment, Atkins has agreed to continue with the same subconsultants and a total CBE participation commitment of 27%. To date, Atkins has achieved a 28.56% participation rate, and has provided a CBE utilization forecast to OESBD to meet its CBE commitment (see Exhibit 3).
This Second Amendment to the Agreement will continue to provide for Capital Project Manager Services (CPM) support to the Port Everglades Department (Port) staff for the third year of the Agreement for daily activities related to projects within the Marine Infrastructure Program (MIP) at Port Everglades.

This amendment adds the Southport - West Lake Park Mitigation and Southport - Modifications to the McIntosh Road Security Checkpoint 4 to the list of capital projects included within the scope, as well as other MIP projects that may be added in the future. This amendment also revises the billing rates in Exhibit B for CBE subcontractor RADISE International, LLC to add new maximum billing rates for additional position titles not previously included, and revises the maximum reimbursable rates for direct non-salary expenses for some categories in Exhibit B-1 to better reflects actual or estimated costs for the listed services.
Typical duties of the CPM include providing Port staff with assistance in procurement functions, agenda preparation, review of design services, cost estimates, scheduling, preconstruction services, construction administration services, document control services, site visits, review and approval of record drawings, and review and approval of pay applications for earned value and contract compliance as well as other capital project management duties. Members of the CPM team do not have any active consulting agreements within the MIP or Port Everglades, and the team fully complies with the conflict provisions of the Agreement.
