COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: July 31, 2019
SUBJECT:A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE
FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE REGARDING THE 72
STREET PARK, LIBRARY AND AQUATIC CENTER; AND AUTHORIZING THE
ADMINISTRATION TO PROCEED WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE
FEASIBILITY STUDY AND THE PREPARATION OF A DESIGN CRITERIA
PACKAGE.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve the resolution.
ANALYSIS
On April 26, 2017, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2017-29843 directing the City
Administration to proceed with a consultant service order engaging Desman, Inc. (Desman), a
mixed-used garage specialty consultant, to prepare a feasibility study and subsequent Design
Criteria Package (DCP) for a mixed-used parking garage structure, including a new recreational
park with a skate park and community use space, at the 72nd Street municipal parking lot (P-92).
The existing surface parking lot (Attachment A), measuring approximately 3.8 acres, could serve as
a connection between the North Shore Park and Youth Center and Bandshell Park. The Consultant
and City staff from Parks and Recreation, Planning and the Office of Capital Improvements (CIP),
proceeded to explore programming requirements for the new facility.
On March 7, 2018 the City Commission accepted the recommendation of the Finance and Citywide
Projects Committee (FCWPC)to include a 50-meter competition swimming pool (aquatic complex)
to the feasibility study for the proposed 72nd Street Park, Library and Aquatic Center(Project).
On June 8, 2018 the FCWPC heard a presentation showcasing four (4) conceptual options,
developed by Desman, for the proposed Project. The FCWPC recommended the following items:
• Delete the all-wheels skate park and relocate to the West Lots
• Library component is mandatory
• Locate running track at grade
•Addition of resiliency and provide an active park in lieu of passive park
During the development of the feasibility study Desman, utilizing local market and similar project
cost data, provided a conceptual project cost estimate for various schemes ranging in costs in
Page 1079 of 1288
excess ot $bUM. In the case ot a teasibility study such as this one, since the project has not yet
been designed, Desman followed standard industry best practices and relied on general
assumptions, code requirements and historical data to determine pricing for each of the elements.
On July 20, 2018, the City Commission held a General Obligation Bond (GO Bond)Workshop and
discussed project scope and cost, to be included in the GO Bond. During that meeting, the City
Commission reviewed the conceptual total cost estimate of $60M proposed for the Bond. It was
determined that the project would proceed on the GO Bond with a reduced project budget of$50M
for the facility. In addition, $3.8M was added for the implementation of resilient strategies, resulting
in a total project budget of$53.8M.
On July 25, 2018 the City Commission further discussed the scope and cost of the Project to be
included in the General Obligation Bond. The scope of work was noted to include a parking garage,
with a maximum of 500 parking spaces, civic and commercial space at the ground Level, a
recreational park, roof-top 50-meter competition pool, 25-meter warm-up pool and support facilities,
a 5,000-10,000 sf Library/Media Center and a 7,500 sf upscale fitness gym with a running track.
Resiliency strategies that may be implemented in this project include resilient storm water retention
and re-use system, solar electric power, energy efficient lighting and an activated roof level with
green roofing system.
On November 6, 2018, the GO Bond Program was approved by the residents, including $53.8M
for the project (Attachment B). As a result of the GO Bond discussions and resulting approval by
the residents, Desman was directed to evaluate the feasibility study, and examine potential
schemes incorporating the revised programming, as approved in the GO Bond Program. The
feasibility study includes massing diagrams which examine spatial requirements of each of the
program elements, the spatial relationships and beneficial adjacencies, against the planning, zoning
and site constraints.
On June 14, 2019, the FY2020 Preliminary Capital Budget was presented to FCWPC. During that
presentation, the funding for the 72nd Street Park, Library and Aquatic Center, and a potential path
to allocating the shortfall, was discussed. The Committee asked staff to provide additional details
on the cost estimates for the project, the potential impact to the scope of the project at the lower
budget allocation and estimated Operation and Maintenance costs, and bring the item to the July
19th meeting.
Cost Estimates
After the GO Bond passed, the project team re-evaluated the project estimate resulting in an
updated total project cost estimate of approximately$64.4M (Attachment C), based on maximizing
programming elements described in the GO Bond.
There is a projected budget shortfall of approximately $10.6M, as compared to the total project
conceptual cost estimate of $64.4M. The table below shows a comparison of the conceptual total
cost estimate, GOB Approved Budget and the Variance between the two costs.

TOTAL $64.4M $53.8M ($10.6M)
Impact To Scope At Current$53.8M Budget
The project team has identified potential scope reductions, lowering the project cost, to meet
available budget. All components would continue to fulfill the program and description provided in
the GO Bond Program. Potential reductions in scope and cost include the following items:
• Reduce parking spaces from 500 spaces to 400 spaces ($5.4M savings)
• • Reduce Community Room from 5,000 sf to 3,000 sf($0.6M savings)
• Reduce Library from 10,000 sf to 5,000 sf($4.2M savings)
Some of the program elements for the proposed facility allow some flexibility in determining spatial
requirements. The project team has examined possible variations in those elements and has
determined the potential budget impact to the Project. Key elements with variability include Parking,
Community Center and Library.
• The cost of a 400 space garage would be $21.7M ($5.4M savings), a 500 space garage would
cost$27.1 M ($0 savings)and a 600 space garage would cost$32.6M ($5.4M add).
• The cost to construct a 5,000 sf Community Center would be $1.6M ($0 savings)and a 3,000
sf Community Center would cost$1.0M ($0.6M savings).
• The cost to construct a 10,000 sf Library would be $8.5M ($0 savings)and a 5,000 sf Library
would be $4.2M ($4.3M savings).
O&M Costs
The initial estimate for operating and maintenance (O&M) costs of the facility that were provided
during the G.O. Bond process was $2.5 million. Based on more refined calculations, the amount
has been revised to $2.2 million. This amount is offset by an estimated $500,000 of revenue from
the recreational elements of the facility for an estimated net expense of$1.7 million.
Additional revenue of $315,000 is estimated for rental of the retail space components that is
recommended to be programmed for property management costs. Revenue from the use of the
parking garage is planned to be used to cover costs of operating and maintaining the garage.
Funding Options
There are two recommended approaches for funding the $10.6M gap in funding for the 72nd Street
project as shown below.
Option#1 would realign funding of$10.4M currently in the Parking Operating Fund set aside for the
or000sed North Beach Town Center oroiect with$128K of fundina from the 7th Street Garaae fund

CI P has continued to explore potential efficiencies and additional costs savings measures. On July
2, 2019, City staff met with representatives of Florida Power and Light to discuss the possibility of
re-routing the power (transmission) lines that currently transect the project site. This could provide
more flexibility for the ultimate design and would remove or reduce potential overhead obstructions.
FPL will begin the process of providing a non-binding cost estimate to relocate the overhead power
lines. Once the potential costs of relocating the power lines is identified, the project team will
evaluate the benefits to the project.
On July 19, 2019, the City's Finance and Citywide Projects Committee resolved to recommend to
the City Commission, that the project proceed with the completion of the feasibility study and the
design criteria package, including the program and scope as described in the GO Bond item. The
Committee further recommended that the funding shortfall be closed through the use of the Parking
Operating Fund set aside for the proposed North Beach Town Center project with $128K of
funding from the 7th Street Garage fund balance (option 1). However, the Committee asked staff to
pursue value engineering through efficiencies in shared uses, in order to conserve as much budget
as possible, and provide additional parking spaces, delivering the project for a final cost between
$60M and $64.4M.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve the resolution.
