This Agreement made this day of January, 2020 between the CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, a Florida

July 2019, Bid #2019-07; Documents issued by the CITY; CONTRACTOR'S Bid Submittal; General
Conditions by the CITY; Supplemental Terms and Conditions by the CITY; and all Change Orders
approved by the CITY after execution of this Agreement. These Contract Documents are hereby
incorporated into this Contract by this reference.
3. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE - In case of any inconsistency in any of the documents bearing on
the Agreement between the CITY and the CONTRACTOR, the inconsistency shall be resolved
by giving precedence in the following order:
a. Agreement Exhibits and Addenda; CONTRACTOR'S Bid Submittal;
b. Change Orders;
c. Supplemental Terms and Conditions;
d. General Terms and Conditions; or
e. Engineering Plans and Drawings.
Any inconsistency in the work description shall be clarified by the CITY and performed by the
CONTRACTOR.
4. AGREEMENT INTERPRETATION - At its discretion, during the course of the work, should any
errors, ambiguities or discrepancies be found in the Agreement or specifications, the CITY at its
sole discretion will interpret the intent of the Agreement and work descriptions and the
CONTRACTOR hereby agrees to abide by the CITY's interpretation and agrees to carry out the
work in accordance with the decision of the CITY. When the material, article or equipment is
designated by a brand name and more than one brand name is listed, it will be understood
CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT 00 50 00 - 1
City of Cape Canaveral WRF Process Improvements
that the work is based on one brand name only. The CONTRACTOR will be responsible for all
coordination necessary to accommodate the material, article or equipment being provided
without additional cost to the CITY. A substitute material, article or equipment is allowed if it is
reasonably equivalent to the brand name specified. The CITY has full discretion to decide
whether a substitute is reasonably equivalent. CONTRACTOR must notify the CITY prior to use
of the substitute for a specified brand name and allow the CITY to make a determination before
CONTRACTOR uses the substitute.
5. CONTRACT TIME - The CONTRACTOR shall begin work within thirty (30) days after the

this Agreement and that CITY will suffer financial loss if the Work is not substantially complete

accordance with the General Conditions. They also recognize the delays, expense and
difficulties involved in proving in a legal or arbitration proceeding the actual loss suffered by
CITY if the Work is not substantially completed on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any
such proof, CITY and CONTRACTOR agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a
penalty) CONTRACTOR shall pay CITY one hundred dollars ($100.00) per day for each day that
expires after the time specified in Paragraph 5 for final completion until the work is finally
complete, and that CITY has paid to CONTRACTOR the consideration of ten ($10.00) dollars as
consideration for this provision.

direct purchase (ODP) procedures apply for selected material expenditures.
8. TERMINATION; DEFAULT BY CONTRACTOR AND CITY'S REMEDIES - The CITY reserves the
right to revoke and terminate this Agreement and rescind all rights and privileges associated
with this Agreement, without penalty, for convenience. Further, the CITY reserves the right to

represent a default and breach of this Agreement:

this Agreement and does not cure such other default within seven (7) calendar days after
written notice from the CITY specifying the default complained of unless, however, the
nature of the default is such that it cannot, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, be

remedied within seven (7) calendar days, in which case the CONTRACTOR shall have such
time as is reasonably necessary to remedy the default, provided the CONTRACTOR

creditors or CONTRACTOR becomes insolvent, or is unable or unwilling to pay its debts; or
c. CONTRACTOR has acted negligently, as defined by general and applicable law, in
performing the Work hereunder; or
d. CONTRACTOR has committed any act of fraud upon the CITY; or
e. CONTRACTOR has made a material misrepresentation of fact to the CITY while
performing its obligations under this Agreement; or
f. CONTRACTOR is experiencing a labor dispute, which threatens to have a substantial,
adverse impact upon performance of this Agreement without prejudice to any other right,
or remedy CITY may have under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned, in the event of a default by CONTRACTOR, the CITY shall
have the right to exercise any other remedy the CITY may have by operation of law, without
limitation, and without any further demand or notice. In the event of such termination, CITY
shall be liable only for the payment of all unpaid charges, determined in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, for Work properly performed prior to the effective date of

parties hereunto shall be diligent in attempting to remove such cause or causes. If any

Agreement together with all costs associated with existing change orders and other additions
or modifications to the construction services provided for in this Agreement. After 50%

Agenda Item Summary
Item No. 3
Subject: Award the Bid for replacement of Force Main No. 7 to T B Landmark Construction, Inc. in
the amount of $293,031 and authorize Interim City Manager to execute Construction Agreement
for same.
Department: Capital Projects
Summary: Staff invited qualified licensed contractors, in accordance with the City's Purchasing
Policy and Florida Statutes, to submit a bid for replacement of Force Main No. 7 (FM-7), located
along Thurm Boulevard from Lift Station No. 7 (LS-7) to the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). T B
Landmark Construction, Inc. (TBL) of Jacksonville, Florida submitted the lowest bid ($293,031).
Project Description: FM-7 is located adjacent to Manatee Sanctuary Park in the Thurm Boulevard
right-of-way from LS-7 to the WRF — a distance of approximately 1,000 feet. During the replacement
of LS-7 in 2017, it was determined that FM-7 was in need of replacement due to the deteriorating
condition of 10-inch diameter pipe. Therefore, Staff prepared a bid package that requested costs
for (1) upsizing the force main pipe to 12-inch diameter to accommodate future development, (2)
installing plastic pipe to replace the existing cast iron pipe, (3) connecting the new pipe to LS-7 and
the main force main entering the WRF and (4) utilizing directional drilling techniques for pipe
installation to limit disruption/access to Manatee Sanctuary Park. This is the first of eight
infrastructure improvement projects to be completed under the City's newest SRF Loan Agreement
(Number 05053).
Firm Selection Process: Staff advertised the bid on December 5, 2019 by posting (1) a legal ad in
the Florida Today newspaper, (2) a notice on the City web page and (3) bid information on
Demandstar (Internet bid service). A "Bid Submittal" notation was included which stated the
Contract would be awarded pursuant to the requirements of applicable State and Federal laws and
regulations. A pre -bid meeting was not held for the project; potential bidders were encouraged to
visit the project construction area.
Two contractors submitted sealed bids for the Project which were publicly opened in City Hall
Conference Room A on December 31, 2019 (Attachment 1). Upon review of the submitted bids,
Staff and the City's consultant recommend the bid be awarded to TBL with a bid amount of
$293,031. TBL is the directional drilling contractor that installed a replacement Force Main No. 3 for
the City in 2017. A proposed Construction Agreement with TBL is included as Attachment 2.

3. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE - In case of any inconsistency in any of the documents bearing on
the Agreement between the CITY and the CONTRACTOR, the inconsistency shall be resolved
by giving precedence in the following order:

e. Engineering Plans and Drawings.
Any inconsistency in the work description shall be clarified by the CITY and performed by the
CONTRACTOR.

errors, ambiguities or discrepancies be found in the Agreement or specifications, the CITY at its

reasonably equivalent to the brand name specified. The CITY has full discretion to decide
whether a substitute is reasonably equivalent. CONTRACTOR must notify the CITY prior to use

such proof, CITY and CONTRACTOR agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a
penalty) CONTRACTOR shall pay CITY one hundred dollars ($100.00) per day for each day that

procedures apply for selected material expenditures.
8. TERMINATION; DEFAULT BY CONTRACTOR AND CITY'S REMEDIES - The CITY reserves the
right to revoke and terminate this Agreement and rescind all rights and privileges associated
with this Agreement, without penalty, for convenience. Further, the CITY reserves the right to
revoke and terminate this Agreement in the following circumstances, each of which shall
represent a default and breach of this Agreement:

b. CONTRACTOR is adjudicated bankrupt or makes any assignment for the benefit of
creditors or CONTRACTOR becomes insolvent, or is unable or unwilling to pay its debts; or
c. CONTRACTOR has acted negligently, as defined by general and applicable law, in

Agenda Item Summary
Item No. 4
Subject: Ordinance No. 19-2019; amending the City's Site Plan Review Requirements under Chapter
110 — Zoning of the City Code; providing for the repeal of prior inconsistent ordinances and
resolutions, incorporation into the Code, severability and an effective date, second reading
Department: Community Development
Summary: The proposed Ordinance creates more specific and relevant criteria applicable to all site
plan submittals as follows:
The following review criteria shall be applied by the City when making any final decision on
whether to approve, deny, or approve with conditions any site plan application:
(1) Whether the applicant has demonstrated the proposed site plan, including its proposed
density, height, scale and intensity, hours of operation, building and lighting design, setbacks,
buffers, noise, refuse, odor, particulates, smoke, fumes and other emissions, parking and
traffic -generating characteristics, number of persons anticipated using, residing or working
under the plan, and other off -site impacts, is compatible and harmonious with adjacent land
uses, and will not adversely impact land use activities in the immediate vicinity.
(2) Whether the applicant has demonstrated the size and shape of the site, the proposed access
and internal circulation, and the design enhancements to be adequate to accommodate the
proposed density, scale and intensity of the site plan requested. The site shall be of sufficient
size to accommodate design amenities such as screening, buffers, landscaping, open space,
off-street parking, safe and convenient automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian mobility at the
site, and other similar site plan improvements needed to mitigate against potential adverse
impacts of the proposed use.
(3) Whether the proposed site plan will have an adverse impact on the local economy, including
governmental fiscal impact, employment, and property values.
(4) Whether the proposed site plan will have an adverse impact on the natural environment,
including air, water, and noise pollution, vegetation and wildlife, open space, noxious and
desirable vegetation, and flood hazards.
(5) Whether the proposed site plan will have an adverse impact on historic, scenic, and cultural
resources, including views and vistas, and loss or degradation of cultural and historic
resources.
(6) Whether the proposed site plan will have an adverse impact on public services, including
water, sewer, stormwater and surface water management, police, fire, parks and recreation,
streets, public transportation, marina and waterways, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
(7) Whether the proposed site plan and any related applicable traffic report provided by the
applicant, details safe and efficient means of ingress and egress into and out of the site and
adequately addresses the impact of projected traffic on the immediate neighborhood, traffic
circulation pattern for the site, and traffic flow through immediate intersections and arterials.
(8) Whether the proposed site plan will have an adverse impact on housing and social
conditions, including variety of housing unit types and prices, and neighborhood quality.
(9) Whether the proposed site plan avoids significant adverse odor, emission, noise, glare, and
vibration impacts on adjacent and surrounding lands regarding refuse collection, service
delivery, parking and loading, signs, lighting, and other site elements.
City of Cape Canaveral
City Council Meeting — January 21, 2020
Agenda Item No. 4
Page 2 of 3
(70) Whether the applicant has provided an acceptable security plan for the proposed
establishment to be located on the site that addresses the safety and security needs of the
establishment and its users and employees and minimizes impacts on the neighborhood, if
applicable.
(11) Whether the applicant has provided on the site an acceptable plan for the mass delivery of
merchandise for new large footprint buildings (greater than fifteen thousand (75,000) square
feet) including the hours of operation for delivery trucks to come into and exit the property
and surrounding neighborhood, if applicable.
(72) Whether the applicant has demonstrated that the proposed site plan has been designed to
incorporate mitigative techniques to prevent adverse impacts addressed in the criteria stated
herein or to adjacent and surrounding uses and properties.
(73) If required by the City, whether the applicant has agreed to execute a binding development
agreement to incorporate the terms and conditions of approval deemed necessary by the
City including, but not limited to, any mitigative techniques and plans required by City Code.
Currently, the criteria used to review a proposed site plan are limited to items to determine
compliance with technical specifications. The intent behind establishing the recommended criteria
is to provide Staff and elected/appointed bodies tools to properly evaluate potential adverse
impacts of a proposed development both on and off the site.
Additionally, City Code requires a site plan be submitted and reviewed "for all development and
redevelopment projects, except single-family, two-family or three-family dwelling units, or
alterations thereto, and minor commercial improvements." Further, that all new commercial
buildings or structures and new residential structures with four or more dwelling units also be
subject to the site plan process.
The site plan approval process consists of the following steps (Sec. 110-223):
1. Application submittal;
2. Application forwarded to review departments;
3. If there are any review comments, applicant shall respond;
4. Revised site plan submitted to Planning and Zoning Board for its review and
recommendation; and
5. City Manager or designee makes final decision on the application.
There have been instances where after the site plan approval has been granted (Step 5 above), an
applicant requests a minor technical adjustment to the previously reviewed and approved site plan.
Typically, the adjustment has a nominal impact on the overall site layout of the project. However,
in these instances, the Code does not provide for a deviation from the approved plan and results
in the applicant having to go back through the entire process (Steps 1-5 above).
To streamline the site plan approval process and to avoid unnecessary delays for development
projects, the attached Ordinance provides for a minor site plan adjustment exception.

City Council Meeting - January 21, 2020
Agenda Item Summary
Item No. 5
Subject: Ordinance No. 20-2019; amending the City Code Chapter 110 — Zoning regarding tattoo
establishments and body piercing salons required to be licensed under Chapter 381, Florida
Statutes; providing for the repeal of prior inconsistent ordinances and resolutions, incorporation
into the code, severability and an effective date, second reading.
Department: Community Development
Summary: At the October 15, 2019 Council meeting, members of the audience addressed the
Council regarding the current zoning limitation placed on tattoo shops. Currently, the City Code
limits tattoo and body piercing establishments to the M-1 zoning district. It was the position of the
speakers that this restriction limits the viability of these businesses and represents a possible
violation of First Amendment rights.
With respect to the First Amendment violation, there have been several recent legal challenges (one
in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Florida) that speak to this. In Buehrle v. City of Key West, the City
banned tattoo establishments from its historic districts to protect these areas from deterioration.
However, the City did not demonstrate that the ban served a significant public interest. Also, in
Anderson v. City of Hermosa Beach, the United States Court of Appeal, Ninth Circuit, concluded "in
sum, we hold that the tattoo itself, the process of tattooing, and the business of tattooing are forms
of pure expression fully protected by the First Amendment."
In general, tattooing is a "safe procedure if performed under appropriate sterilized conditions."
Yurkew, 495 F.Supp. at 1252. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "[T]attoo
artists protect themselves and their clients when following safe and healthy practices," including
"using sterile needles and razors, washing hands, wearing gloves, and keeping surfaces clean." See
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Body Art: Tattoos and Piercings (Jan. 21, 2008).
Florida Administrative Code, Chapter 64E spells out operational requirements that all tattoo
establishments must follow. In addition, Florida Statutes requires anyone seeking licensure to
successfully complete an educational course on blood -borne pathogens and communicable
diseases. Compliance is monitored through regular inspections of tattoo establishments by the
Florida Department of Health.
However, it is recognized that the City can establish reasonable time, place and manner restrictions
on tattoo and piercing establishments. See Ward v. Rock Against Racism (1989) and United States
v. O'Brien (1968). These include regulations dealings with such things as taxes, health regulations,
or nuisance ordinances.
To that end, the proposed ordinance provides that tattoo and body -piercing establishments be
permitted uses in the City's C-1, C-2 and M-1 zoning districts. The establishments must be located
within a building that fronts State Road A1A or the west side of N. Atlantic Avenue south of Church
Lane. In addition, the establishment shall not be located within 100 feet of any pre-existing
residential use or property designated residential on the City's future land use or zoning maps.
At its December 4, 2019 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended Approval of
Ordinance No. 20-2019. At its December 17, 2019 meeting, the City Council approved Ordinance
No. 20-2019 on first reading. Note the attached ordinance has been revised to reflect Council
direction provided at first reading regarding the allowance of these establishments in the M-1
zoning district.

11
12 WHEREAS, the City is granted the authority, under Section 2(b), Article VIII, of the State
13 Constitution, to exercise any power for municipal purposes, except when expressly prohibited by
14 law, and the City's inherent police power to establish zoning regulations within the jurisdictional
15 limits of the City of Cape Canaveral; and
16 WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that tattooing is a form of expressive activity
17 afforded First Amendment protection. Buehrle v. City of Key West, 813 F.3d 973 (11th Cir. 2015)
18 (City failed to meet its burden of demonstrating that its ban on tattoo establishments in historic
19 district served its alleged significant governmental interest of protecting historic district from
20 deterioration, and thus ordinance was not narrowly tailored to serve a significant governmental
21 interest); See also, Anderson v. City of Hermosa Beach, 621 F.3d 1051 (9th Cir. 2010)( holding that
22 the City's total ban on tattoo parlors was not a reasonable 'time, place, or manner' restriction
23 because it is substantially broader than necessary to achieve the City's significant health and safety
24 interests and because it entirely forecloses a unique and important method of expression); and
25 WHEREAS, the City Council also recognizes that the City may impose reasonable time,
26 place, and manner restrictions on tattooing establishments and body piercing salons, See Ward
27 v. Rock Against Racism, 491 U.S. 781, 791 (1989); United States v. O'Brien, 391 U.S. 367, 377 (1968)
28 including, but not limited to, generally applicable laws such as taxes, health regulations, or
29 nuisance ordinances; and
30 WHEREAS, due to modern trends in siting and recent demand expressed to the City
31 Council, for safe and licensed tattoo establishments and body piercing salons required to be
32 licensed under Chapter 381, Florida Statutes within the City, the City Council finds it to be in the
33 City's best interest to provide for additional limited commercial locations for licensed tattoo
34 establishments and body piercing salons pursuant to the requirements set forth in this Ordinance;
35 and
City of Cape Canaveral
Ordinance No. 20-2019
Page 1 of 5
1 WHEREAS, the City Council also recognizes that the City is currently undergoing a
2 comprehensive rezoning study and project that will maintain and preserve certain portions of the
3 C-1 Zoning District for commercial related uses (especially along the State Road A1A corridor) and
4 also address numerous preexisting residential uses located within current C-1 Zoning areas that
5 will likely be rezoned residential for purposes of making said residential uses conforming, and
6 therefore, there is a substantial government interest within City of Cape Canaveral to ensure that
7 any future tattoo establishments and body piercing salons within the C-1 Zoning District, as a
8 commercial use, be located within a commercial building located adjacent to and fronting the
9 commercial corridor State Road A1A and not within 100 feet of preexisting residential uses; and
10 WHEREAS, the City's Land Planning Agency conducted a public hearing to consider this
11 Ordinance on December 4, 2019, and after receiving testimony and evidence and deliberating
12 about the merits of the Ordinance, recommend that the City Council adopt the Ordinance; and
13 WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cape Canaveral, Florida, hereby finds this
14 Ordinance to be in the best interests of the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of

City of Cape Canaveral
City Council Meeting - January 21, 2020
Agenda Item Summary
Item No. 6
Subject: Ordinance No. 01-2020; amending the City Code to establish locational, design and
operational requirements for self-service storage facilities within the City; adopting conforming
amendments to the Zoning Code including revising definitions and existing storage regulations;
providing for the repeal of prior inconsistent ordinances and resolutions, incorporation into the
Code, severability and an effective date, first reading.
Department: Community Development
Summary: Mr. Ronald Abeles, the applicant and managing member of the Limited Liability
Company that owns property located at 190 Center Street, desires to construct a self -storage facility
on the property; however, this type of use is not allowed on the property as it is zoned C-2 and self -
storage is only allowed in the M-1 zoning. Therefore, the request is to revise the C-2 zoning district
to allow self -storage as a special exception.
As defined in City Code Section 110-1, mini -storage is "the renting of storage space which is
utilized for the incidental storage of personal effects, which space shall not exceed 280 square
feet of net floor area. When used for such a purpose, such property may not be used in
combination with any other use, with the exception of storage garage."
The C-2 district is "associated with a mix of low density commercial and light industrial. The types
of uses permitted are to serve employment and consumer needs of nearby residential
neighborhoods, as well as the commercial needs of the motorist. All principal uses permitted in
this zone shall be contained in an enclosed structure." Allowed uses include craft distilleries,
veterinary hospitals, new and used auto sales and service, car washes and vocational and trade
schools.
As indicated by the City Zoning Map (Attachment 1), there are two C-2 districts in the City. One
located on and around Center Street, west of N. Atlantic Avenue, while the other is located on the
east side of Astronaut Boulevard, centered on W. Central Boulevard. Should the proposed ordinance
be adopted, mini -storage would be permitted as a special exception in these two areas.
The City currently has a number of mini -storage facilities to include several locations on Imperial
Boulevard, one located at 8550 Astronaut Boulevard and at the intersection of Central Boulevard
and N. Atlantic Avenue. The existing inventory of mini -storage is generally older with very little
aesthetic appeal. A number of these facilities are located in C-1 and C-2 zoning districts, which
means that they are nonconforming and therefore subject to restrictions contained in Code Sec.
110-195. These restrictions effectively eliminate the opportunity for redevelopment of the
nonconforming mini -warehouse facilities. The proposed ordinance removes these impediments
and facilitates the redevelopment of the nonconforming facilities within the C-2 district.
Adoption of the ordinance would revise/establish locational, design and operational
requirements for these facilities (see Sec. 110-459 of Attachment 2). Also, a new definition of
"self-service storage facilities" is proposed (Sec. 110-1) as well as a number of conforming
amendments throughout Articles IX and X of the Zoning Code.
