SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY
CLERK TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT WITH URBITRAN ASSOCIATES
TO PROVIDE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND ENGINEERING SERVICES.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission
execute the agreement for architectural design and engineering
•
services that will lend to the construction of a new multi-level
. parking garage .
BACKGROUND:
Over the past three years, the accelerated economic development in
the South Beach area has generated a substantial demand for
additional parking infrastructure. Although this is a citywide
problem, it is most acute in the South Beach area. The City' s
• parking inventory currently includes only three multi-level parking
garages . Financial and historic preservation constraints have
precluded the City from keeping pace with the growing demand for
parking. The limited of availability of land has resulted in a
need to expand existing multi-level parking garages and build
additional multi-level parking facilities.
ANALYSIS:
Urbitran Associates, through its parking division, Ramp Associates,
• will manage the work. To complement their team, Urbitran has
secured the services of Arquitectonica, a Coral Gables based WBE
architectural firm and Laura Llerena and Associates, WBE landscape
architectural firm located in Miami .
Urbitran has proposed a fee structure of six percent (696) of total
construction costs . This fee is commensurate with industry
standards . Assuming the garage will have 300 spaces, at $10 , 000
construction cost per space for a total of $3 million, the fee will
be approximately $180, 000 .

critical to move forward with this effort to expedite the
availability of additional parking provided by this new facility.

constitute a representation by the Consultant to the City, based on

application for payment, that, to the best of the Consultant's
knowledge, information and belief, the work has progressed to the ,

work, the quality of the work is in accordance with the contract
documents (subject to an evaluation of the work for conformance
with the contract documents upon substantial completion, to the
results of any subsequent tests required by or performed under the
contract documents, to minor deviations from the contract documents
correctable prior to completion, and to any specific qualifications
stated in the certificate for payment) and that the Contractor is
entitled to payment in the amount certified. However, the issuance
of a certificate for payment shall not be a representation that the
Consultant has made any examination to ascertain how and for what
purpose the Contractor has used the monies paid on account of the
contract sum.
2. 6.9 The Consultant shall review and approve or take
other appropriate action upon the contractor's submittals such as
Shop Drawings, Product Data, and Samples and other submissions of
the Contractor for conformance only with the design concept of the
work and with the information' given in the Contract Documents.

component.

Documents, and shall have authority to order minor changes in the
work not involving an adjustment in the contract sum or an

occurrences and instances where the finished building differs from
the contract drawings as a result of duly approved changes made
during the construction of the Project.
2.6. 14 Consultant shall conduct inspections to determine
the Dates of Substantial and Final Completion and shall issue a
certificate for final payment by the Contractor under the Contract
Documents. The index and summary shall list each of the
warranties, indicating the term, conditions, and purported legal
enforcement and recourse rights of the City as indicated by the
language in the Warranty.
2.7 RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES
Approval by the City shall not constitute nor be deemed a
release of the responsibility and liability of the Consultant, his
employees, sub-contractors, agents and consultants for the accuracy
and competency of their designs, working drawings, specifications
or other documents and works; nor shall such approval be deemed to
be an assumption of such responsibility by the City for a defect or
omission in designs, working drawings, and specifications or other
documents prepared by the Consultant, his employees, sub-
contractors, agents and consultants. However, the Consultant shall
be entitled to reply upon the accuracy and validity of decisions
and information furnished by the City..
