DATE: January 15, 2014
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAY AND THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORID , CONSENTING TO THE APPOINTMENT
OF DAVID D. MARTINEZ, P.E. AS THE DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FOR THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Pursuant to the requirements of Article IV, Section 4.02 of the City Charter, it is
recommended that the Mayor and the City Commission adopt the attached resolution
consenting and confirming David D. Martinez, P.E. as the Director of the Office of
Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) for the City of Miami Beach.
ANALYSIS
The City Commission approved a resolution consenting and confirming David D.
Martinez, P.E. as the Acting Director of CIP at the June 5, 2013, City Commission
meeting. Mr. Martinez is a registered civil engineer in the state of Florida and a LEED AP
Certified Professional. In addition Mr. Martinez holds a Master's in Business
Administration Degree.
Mr. Martinez has over 27 years of planning, engineering, and construction experience,
including 8 years of administration and operations experience in municipal public works
and capital projects. His expertise is solid in all management aspects of vertical,
horizontal and underground construction, as well as maintenance operations. His
professional experience has afforded him a thorough understanding of general business
practices including budgeting, financial statements, business development, contract
management and employee relations.
Mr. Martinez began his career in 1986 with Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. as an
associate, and shortly after, in 1987, he was hired by Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan,
Inc. as a project manager. In 1989, he was hired by the City of Pembroke Pines as the
Deputy Utilities Director/Utilities City Engineer. In that position, he led a team of over 120
employees and was responsible for overseeing the engineering and construction of
infrastructure improvements.
In 1995, Mr. Martinez began his employment with Sanders Company, Inc. as the
Regional Sales Manager/Engineer where he was responsible for the South Florida
office's business activities and engineering services related to manufacturing
water/wastewater process equipment, pumping systems, and electrical controls. In 2001,
Mr. Martinez was hired as a senior project manager with Lanzo Construction Company.
In that capacity, he oversaw day-to-day construction activities associated with multiple
City Commission Memorandum—consenting and confirming David D. Martinez as the Director of CIP

South Florida public works projects, such as: site development; infrastructure
rehabilitation; construction of water distribution systems; sanitary sewer collection and
transmission systems; storm drainage systems; roadways; sidewalks and landscaping.
In 2005, Mr. Martinez became the Director of Construction for the Tri-C Construction
Co., Inc. where he directed construction operations for the Florida regional office and
headed the ground up construction of CVS/Pharmacy stores across South Florida.
Shortly afterward, in 2006, Mr. Martinez was hired by Miller Construction Company as a
senior project manager where he was responsible for projects ranging from $2 to $20
million in value such as: construction-manager-at-risk; design-build; traditional
construction of retail spaces, offices and warehouses; specialty construction; medical
buildings; hospitality and high-end residential buildings.
In 2010, Mr. Martinez was employed by Rimkus Consulting Group to provide forensic
engineering consulting services for legal, insurance, and corporate clients.
In June 2011, Mr. Martinez was hired by the City of Miami Beach as the Senior Capital
Projects Coordinator and then, in October 2012, was promoted to Assistant Director of
the CIP Office. In this capacity, he assisted the Director in managing and coordinating
the activities of a $50 million per year capital construction program. Mr. Martinez has
been able to demonstrate his skills implementing new methods and ideas that increase
productivity and lower costs. His skill in conflict resolution has allowed him to maintain
excellent relationships with contractors and vendors after successfully negotiating
contracts to the satisfaction of all parties and resolving problems.
CONCLUSION
I believe David has earned the Director title these past seven months. First, under his
interim leadership, CIP now has a strong cooperative approach with the departments
that it serves. The relationship between CIP and Public Works, for example, has gone
from hostile in the past to one of close collaboration. An example of how this benefits
the City is that collaborative efforts between CIP and Parks resulted in the Flamingo
Park football field being completed in time for Beach High to play its first home game at
that facility in a long time. I have also observed that David has the respect of his staff,
and they have worked hard during the summer despite being understaffed. As Director,
he will now have the opportunity to fill positions, including a critical Assistant Director
position.
Finally, he has embraced my message of customer service. He never hesitates to go
out in the community to meet with groups or individuals to discuss CIP projects. He tries
to address concerns that often arise during active construction and the feedback I have
received about his professionalism and demeanor is very positive. I recommend his
appointment for your approval.
Pursuant to the requirements of Article IV, Section 4.02, of the City Charter, it is
recommended that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the resolution consenting and
confirming David D. Martinez, P.E. as the Director of the Office of Capital Improvement
