KEY INTENDED OUTCOME SUPPORTED Build and Maintain Priority lnfrastructure with Full Accountability FUNDING The cost of the related services, determined upon successful negotiations, are subject to funds availability approved through the City's budgeting process. BACKGROUND The West Avenue Bridge Prolect and the Lincoln Court Pedestrian Bridge (if included) is expected to improve traffic safety, transit, bicycle and pedestrian mobility and general safety in the area. ln addition, the new bridge will create a direct connection across Collins Canal. The proposed Lincoln Court pedestrian bridge was not part of the PD&E study but it will also improves pedestrian and bicycle mobility. Public Works Department (PWD) desires to expedite the construction of the West Avenue Bridge Project and the Lincoln Court Pedestrian Bridge (if included) while the Sunset Harbour Project is currently on-going. ln order to save time, PWD determined that the design build procurement method would be suited for this project. As a result, PWD prepared a Design Criteria Package (DCP), as required by Florida Statutes, for the project that served to define the design requirements for development of construction documents by Design Build Firms and for submission of their price proposal. On December 16, 2015, the City Commission directed the Administration to prepare and issue an RFP seeking proposals for design build services for the West Avenue Bridge over the Collins Canal, and possible pedestrian bridge at Lincoln Court. The City Commission also directed the Administration to provide a copy of the RFP once it was released. The RFP was released on December 29,2015 and City Commission was notified via LTC No. 491-2015 on 4 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) No. 2016-062.K8, DESIGN BUILD SERVICES FOR THE WEST AVENUE BRIDGE OVER COLLINS CANAL March 9,2016 Page2 December 31,2015. Proposals were requested from Design Build Firms for the design, construction and construction management of the West Avenue Bridge over Collins Canal and the reconstruction of Dade Boulevard. The City, at its option, may elect to add the Lincoln Court Pedestrian Bridge as part of this project so Design Build Firm shall provide a separate proposal for the design, construction management and construction of the pedestrian bridge and its approaches. The scope of work also includes street lighting, pedestrian lighting, signing and pavement markings, a new vehicular and pedestrian signal at Dade Boulevard and West Avenue, utility relocation and/or adjustments and drainage.

Morales, City Manager March 4,2016 SUBJECT: Miami Beach Convention Center Construction Project Update The purpose of this LTC is to advise the Mayor and City Commission that future updates for the Miami Beach Convention Center renovation and expansion project will be published in the 2nd Commission meeting monthly agenda. The reason for this is change to allow staff and the contractor the time needed to properly close out the previous month's financials and report them accurately to the public and elected officials. Due to the volume of the information and scale of the project, this is not possible until after the second week of the following month. lf there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact myself or Maria Hernandez at Extension 2584.
