AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE CODE OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
BEACH, BY AMENDING CHAPTER 118, "ADMINISTRATION AND REVIEW
PROCEDURES," ARTICLE 1, "IN GENERAL," BY ENACTING A NEW
SECTION 118-6, ENTITLED "USE OF, AND COST RECOVERY FOR,
CONSULTANTS FOR APPLICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL,"
REQUIRING APPLICANTS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT TRAFFIC AND OTHER
TECHNICAL REPORTS AS PART OF THEIR APPLICATIONS TO FUND
REPORT PREPARATION BY CONSULTANTS SELECTED FROM ACITY-
APPROVED LIST, IN ADDITION TO ANY CONSULTANT REPORTS THE
APPLICANT DESIRES TO SUBMIT, AND TO REQUIRE COST RECOVERY
FOR CITY'S USE OF CONSULTANTS NEEDED TO REVIEW REPORTS
SUBMITTED WITH SUCH APPLICATIONS; PROVIDING FOR REPEALER;
CODIFICATION; SEVERABILITY; AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the hiring of experts and consultants by applicants in support of applications
for development approval, to provide traffic studies and other technical reports in support of the
application, has become commonplace; and
WHEREAS, citizens involved in the development approval process are at a
disadvantage in evaluating and commenting upon expert reports, and presenting competing
evidence and testimony to the City's land use boards and City Commission; and
WHEREAS, when the applicant hires a consultant (such as a traffic engineer) to provide
a study required by City staff, both the applicant (to prepare the study), and the City (to hire a
consultant) expend funds and valuable staff time (to review the study's sufficiency, accuracy
and implications); and
WHEREAS, this duplicative use of experts and consultants can be reduced if the City
identifies qualified professionals that both applicants and the City can rely upon for preparation
of studies, or which City staff can utilize without the need for further consultant verification and
review: and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance establishes a procedure by which the City can maintain a list
of approved consultants that would prepare studies and reports on applications for development
approval, which would be paid for by applicants, thus eliminating and/or reducing the duplication
of cost and expense (as a result of applicants and the City both hiring their own consultants);
and
WHEREAS, in those instances where the applicant chooses to hire its own consultant,
or where sufficient expertise or time is not available within City staff to review the consultants'
report, in order for the City to properly evaluate the sufficiency, accuracy and implications of the
studies, then this Ordinance also establishes a procedure whereby the applicant covers the cost
of the City's hiring and use of a consultant for study review as well; and
WHEREAS, the Land Use Committee considered this matter at its meeting of February
9, 2009, and recommended referring the Ordinance to the Planning Board, which referral was
adopted by the City Commission on February 25, 2009; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board considered this Ordinance at its meeting of October 27,
2009, and recommended approval;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND MEMBERS
OF THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION ONE. Chapter 118 of the Land Development Regulations, Part II, of the Code
of the City of Miami Beach, is hereby amended by the addition of a new Section 118-6 as
follows:
Sec. 118-6. Use Of, And Cost Recovery For, Consultants For Applications For
Development Approval.
~ Purpose and Summary. The City Commission declares that new procedures are
required to provide for preparation and review of traffic and other technical studies
and/or reports to restore and instill confidence in the development approval process.
Further, such new procedures are necessary to confirm that adverse effects of
development are adequately evaluated for property owners, citizens, residents and
taxpayers in the City of Miami Beach. The new procedures will provide for the creation
and maintenance of an approved list of qualified consultants to provide impartial
expertise for preparation and/or review of studies and reports required for assessment of
impacts of applications for development approval, upon which applicants for
development approval, affected citizens, and the City can rely.
Consultant list. The City's Procurement Division shall maintain a list of approved
consultants of various specialties available to prepare and/or review studies and reports
required for applications for development approval.
~ For purposes of this Section, "Application for development approvaP' shall mean
any application for approval by a City land use board (Planning Board, Board of
Adjustment, Historic Preservation Board, Design Review Board).
Requirements for selection of a City consultant and procedures for payment.
Prior to the applicant submitting an application for development approval, the applicant
shall meet with City staff to determine the types of studies and/or reports required for the
proposed project as well as the methodology to be followed as part of the production of
the study.
When an applicant is required to submit, as part of an application for
development approval, a traffic or any other technical study and/or report,
the applicant may elect either:
A. to authorize the City to commission the study/report, to be prepared
by a City-approved consultant, selected by City staff from the
approved list maintained by the Procurement Division; or,
B. to prepare a required study/report using its own consultant.
ii If an applicant elects to prepare a required study/report using its own
consultant then the City shall review the study/report, and shall retain a
consultant from the City's approved list having the necessary expertise to
perform such review. The applicant shall be responsible for all costs
associated with the City's consultant review, and shall pay for the costs
associated with the City's consultant review prior to proceeding to approval
of the application by the applicable land use board.
However if the applicant elects to authorize the City to commission the
study/report to be prepared by aCity-approved consultant, selected by
City staff from the approved list maintained by the Procurement Division,
then the applicant shall only be responsible for the costs associated with
the consultant's preparation of the study/report; no additional consultant
review fees shall be required.
iii If an applicant elects to authorize the City to retain a consultant from the
City's approved list for the preparation of a required study and/or report,
then the procedure shall be as follows:
A. City staff shall select a qualified consultant from the City's
approved list (i.e. with the required knowledge, skill and/or
expertise required for the particular study/report).
B. City staff shall obtain a quote from the selected consultant for the
particular study/report and shall transmit same to applicant.
C. The quote shall be based on fair market value and include a "not to
exceed" amount that is inclusive of all charges and fees, as
required to prepare and complete the work.
D. If applicant accepts the quote and elects to proceed with the work
using the City's consultant then, prior to commencement of any
work by the selected consultant, City staff shall require the
applicant to deposit with the City an amount equal to the "not to
exceed" amount of the quoted cost.
E. The City shall earn no additional fee as a result of applicant's use
of the approved consultant.
F. Notwithstanding anything in this Section, the applicant shall be
solely responsible for all costs and fees associated with the
consultant's preparation of the required study/report (including,
without limitation, the consultant's fee).
iv If an applicant elects to prepare a required study/report using its own
consultant then the City shall retain a consultant from the City's approved
list having the necessary expertise and time to review the study/report.
~ The procedures for selection of, and payment for, a City consultant
retained under subsecti on (iv) above shall be the same as those for
selection/payment of a City consultant by an a pplicant, as set forth in
subsection (d)(iii)(A)-(F) with the applicant bein g solely responsible for
payment of any and all costs and fees associated with the City
consultant's review (of a pplicant's study/report).
e. In no event shall the City be held liable, whether to applicants and/or third
parties, for any work and/or services rendered by any consultant on the City's approved
list, and/or otherwise in connection with a consultant's preparation or review of any
study and/or report contemplated herein.

All ordinances or parts of ordinances and all section and parts of sections in conflict
herewith be and the same are hereby repealed.

CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE CODE OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, BY AMENDING CHAPTER 118,
"ADMINISTRATION AND REVIEW PROCEDURES," ARTICLE 1, "IN

CODIFICATION; SEVERABILITY; AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the ordinance
BACKGROUND
The Land Use Committee considered this matter at its meeting of February 9, 2009 at
the request of former Commissioner Gross, and recommended referring the Ordinance
to the Planning Board, which referral was adopted by the City Commission on February
25, 2009 (see attached memo and afteraction).
The original concept behind the proposed ordinance had been under consideration for
some time, and was to address the costs that the City's Public Works Department was
incurring in order to have traffic studies associated with Land Use Board applications
reviewed by an independent consultant. Applicants before the City's Planning Board,
Board of Adjustment, Design Review Board and Historic Preservation Board
(collectively, the "Land Use Boards") must often hire experts and consultants in support
of applications for development approval, to provide traffic studies and other technical
reports, as part of the review process. In recent years, staff of the Planning Department
has worked together with the Public Works Department's Transportation staff to review
these studies. Most often, the studies are forwarded to one of several outside
City Commission Memorandum
Ordinance Amendment -Consultant Review Fees
March 10, 2010 Page 2
consultants on hire with the Public Works Department for such work, and the City's
traffic consultant reviews the applicant's traffic study for accuracy and correctness.
Comments from this review can then be included in Planning Board staff reports, and the
City's consultant can attend the public hearings in order to answer any questions with
regard to the traffic study and its conclusion. However, the cost to the City of the
consultant review was not included in the application fee, and these costs have mounted
to the point where cost recovery must be considered. The original intent of the
ordinance was to require applicants to cover the costs associated with the City's
consultant review.
Subsequently, the concept was expanded further, primarily in a proposal by former
Commissioner Gross, in a memorandum to the City Manager dated January 6, 2009
(see attached). This focused upon the perception that privately hired consultants
working directly for the applicant may tailor professional reports in such a way to paint
projects in a more favorable light. This concept would require applicants to commission
required reports through the City, with City staff selecting the consultant from a list of
previously approved professionals. Interaction between the applicant and the consultant
would be eliminated except for the payment of the cost of the study.
LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
The Land Use and Development Committee again considered this matter at its meeting
of October 26, 2009, and recommended referring the Ordinance to the Planning Board;
the Committee voted to express their preference for the concept of requiring applicants
to commission required studies through the City's staff and an approved consultants list,
or what is now titled as the "LUDC version" of the ordinance to the Planning.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION
At the October 27, 2009 meeting the Planning Board reviewed the proposed ordinance,
and expressed some concern over the technicalities of the LUDC version. The Board
voted 5-2 (Kruszewski and Stolar against).to recommend a version of the ordinance that
gave applicants the option of either hiring their own consultant, or commissioning the
required study through the City staff and the approved list. This concept is now titled the
"Planning Board/Administration version" of the ordinance.
The Board's concerns regarding the LUDC version focused how the mechanics of the
mandated commissioning of the required consultant study through the City staff would
work in practice. There was general agreement that having the approved list of
consultants prepared and available was a good idea, but questions about who would
actually be responsible for choosing the consultant, and especially about negotiating the
price to be charged for the study. A major concern expressed was over third-party
liability, whether or not the consultant's professional liability insurance would extend to
the applicant in cases where errors in the report or its recommendations resulted in
claims. The Board also felt that aspects of the requirements could result in lengthy
delays in the approval process, as the steps required could extend over several weeks.
CITY COMMISSION ACTION
At the February 3, 2010 meeting, the City Commission reviewed the proposed
ordinance, and approved the "Planning Board/Administration version" of the ordinance
City Commission Memorandum
Ordinance Amendment -Consultant Review Fees
March 10, 2010 Page 3
upon first reading. Therefore, this is the version that is now under consideration today
and analyzed in the analysis below.
ANALYSIS
The proposed ordinance achieves the desired goal of cost recovery, assigning the costs
associated with the City's consultant review of expert studies to the applicant. Likewise,
it codifies the requirement that City staff is to formulate the requirements and parameters
of the required studies at the beginning of the process.
Under the proposed ordinance, when areport/study is required, the applicant may
choose one of two options. Either (1) authorize City staff to commission the
study/report, to be prepared by aCity-approved consultant, selected by City staff from
the approved list, or, (2) hire their own consultant to do the study/report. If the applicant
chooses option 2, hiring their own consultant, then they are also responsible for paying
for the City to hire a consultant from the approve list to thoroughly review the applicant's
submitted study. Subsequent reports and submittals would also be required to be
reviewed by the City's consultant at the cost of the applicant. However, if the applicant
chooses option 1 and authorizes City staff to commission the report from the approved
list, the applicant is only responsible for the cost of that report. The applicant would not
be required to pay for review of that report, as it was prepared independently by the
City's consultant and would not require independent review.
This approach, while allowing applicants flexibility to choose, would seem to provide
enough of a financial incentive to encourage applicants to choose option 1 and the City
consultant, as they would only be paying for one study, and not the study and then one
or more reviews. Staff believes that cost recovery is the most important feature of the
proposal. The ordinance contains a built-in economic incentive to use the City's
consultant from the approved list.
Currently, the City has an existing roster of approved consultant firms, and a new RFP is
currently underway to update that list with a variety of engineering firms that would be
qualified for this type of work. Staff believes that the ordinance could be implemented
quickly, using the existing consultant list, and a new list when the RFP process is
completed. The creation of a uniform fee schedule for applicants, based upon the size
and scope of the required reports, will most likely take additional time to develop.
Planning Department staff also notes that it is important to enact some form of cost
recovery as soon as possible, as there is a potential for several important projects to
come before the Land Use Boards in the next several months. Having this ordinance in
place is deemed to be crucial to the City's ability to fully review complex proposals for
their impact on traffic and transportation, and on noise impacts to surrounding
neighborhoods.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the ordinance upon
second reading public hearing.

FROM: Saul Gross, City Commissione
DATE: January 6, 2009
SUBJECT: Agenda Item
MEMORANDUM
Please place on the January 28, 2009 Commission agenda a referral to the Land Use Committee
to discuss the adoption of an ordinance which provides that whenever a property owner/tenant is
required under the City code or by a City Land Use Board to hire a consultant to analyze the
traffic or noise impacts of a project, that such consultant is hired by the City off the City's
rotating list and such consultant is paid by the City using the property owner/tenant's money.
This proposal is analogous to the way appraisers are hired. Property owners cannot hire their
own appraiser: Appraisers are on an approved lender list and are hired by the lender at the
property owner's cost.
This proposed ordinance would have two benefits. First, because the consultant would be
working for the City and not for the property owner/tenant, the consultant's report would take
the residents' interests into account and not seek to minimize, for the property owner's/tenant's
benefit, the traffic or noise impacts of the proposed project. Second, the proposal would save the
City money. At present, the City and the residents often quesrion many assumptions in the
consultant's report and the City is forced to hire a second consultant, at City expense, to review
the property owner's/tenant's consultant's report. Under the new proposal, there would be no
need for the City to hire a separate consultant at City expense.
If you have any questions, please contact Wanda Ortiz at extension 7104.
