m
Condensed Title:
A Resolution of the Chairman and members of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Miami Beach,
Florida, appropriating funds, in the amount of $458,075, from the City Center Redevelopment Agency, to
construct the Beach Front Restroom and Concession Facility on 21st Street.
Issue:
Shall the Chairman and Members of the Redevelopment Agency approve the appropriation of $458,075,
from the City Center Redevelopment Agency, to construct the Beach Front Restroom and Concession
Facility on 21st Street?
Item Summary/Recommendation:
The City Manager was authorized to submit a request to the Miami-Dade County Safe Neighborhood Parks
Bond Oversight Board in Resolution No. 2000-24182, and appropriate the funds for the reallocation of
$750,000 in bond revenues from the Boardwalk Renovation Project into the Beachfront
Restroom/Concession Replacement Project. The Administration identified at the time six beachfront
restroom/concession facilities which were in crucial need of replacement. The subject facilities are located
in the beachfront parks east of Collins Avenue at 21st, 29th, 46th, 53rd, 64th and nnd Streets. The existing
restroom and concession facilities at those locations are in extremely deteriorating condition, are not
compliant with American Disabilities Act, cannot be effectively secured, and are magnets for illicit activities.
The Restrooms Facilities at 21 s" 29th and 64th Streets have previously been demolished. A Resolution dated
April 30, 2003 approved the award of a contract to Tran Construction, Inc., (TRAN) in the amount of
$648,000, pursuant to Bid No. 03-02/03, for the Professional Design/Build of four new
Restroom/Concession Facilities within the beachfront parks located at 21st, 46th, 53rd and 64th Street

resolved. After resolution of the litigation and with the design documents more than sixty percent (60%)
completed, TRAN has now provided a new cost for the construction of the 21 st Street facility. Because of the
escalating prices on labor and materials during the lengthy delay, the cost of the four restroom/concession
facilities is now $1 ,759,361. Due to limited funding the facility on 53rd Street will not be constructed nor will
the concession facilities for the 46th and 64th Street restrooms. The price of the facilities is now reduced to
$1,217,709, which includes the 21 st Street restroom cost of $458,075. This new cost for the construction of
the 21 st Street includes the design cost $14,030; construction cost $379,430; Contingency $37,943; AIPP
$5,691; and CIP Fee $20,981. The 21 st Street Restroom is located within the City Center Redevelopment
District and fundinQ is available to complete this facilitv.

ANALYSIS
The City Manager was authorized to submit a request to the Miami-Dade County Safe
Neighborhood Parks Bond (SNPB) Oversight Board in Resolution No. 2000-24182, dated
November 29, 2000. and appropriate the funds for the reallocation of $750,000 in bond
revenues from the Boardwalk Renovation Project into the Beachfront
Restroom/Concession Replacement Project. The Administration identified at the time six
beachfront restroom/concession facilities which were in crucial need of replacement. The
subject facilities are located in the beachfront parks east of Collins Avenue at 21 st, 29th,
46t1\ 53rd, 64th and 72nd Streets. The existing restroom and concession facilities at those
locations are in an extremely deteriorated condition, are not compliant with the Americans
with Disabilities Act, cannot be effectively secured, and are magnets for illicit activities. The
restroom facilities at 21st, 29th, and 64th Streets have previously been demolished.
Because beach tourism is vital to the economic well being of our community, and the
availability of safe, clean and accessible restrooms and concession facilities is vital to
beach tourism, the Administration has initiated the design of restroom and concession
facilities for the aforestated facilities. The goal of the design project is to develop a
standardized design for restroom facilities that will be user friendly, have low maintenance,
was resistant to vandalism and securable. The facilities will be designed in different styles
with and without concession facilities, so that an appropriately scaled facility can be
selected for each individual location.

Resolution No. 2001-24377 granted a Certificate of Appropriateness for Demolition in
Order to demolish the existing beachfront restroom facility located east of Collins Avenue
at 21 st Street. The demolition of this facility took place because it was condemned by the
Building Department due to the negative effect on public health conditions, posed a threat
to public safety and was no longer available for public use.
Corzo, Castella, Carballo, Thompson and Salman (C3TS) was awarded a contract via
Resolution No. 2001-24348, dated April 18, 2001 for architectural, engineering and
construction management services required to construct oceanfront restroom/concession
facilities located east of Collins Avenue at 21st, 29th, 46th, 53rd and 64th Streets.
The design features included in the restroom facilities are of high-end, attractive modular
units integrated with the existing architecture of Miami Beach. It captures the continuing
flow of nature, with contoured circular roof lines, tapered columns and round louvered
windows. Other components include aquatic related designs and uniquely landscaped
plazas which feature automatic lighting and irrigation systems at each facility for an
aesthetically pleasing environment. Attachment A reflects the proposed design.
After the completion of sixty percent (60%) Construction Documents, C3TS had their
contract Terminated for Convenience by the City on January 14, 2002 and entered into
litigation with the City due to a dispute on the percentage of completion on the documents
and required payments. All design work for the Beachfront Restrooms was suspended
pending the outcome of the litigation. An Invitation to Bid No. 03-02/03, for a design/build
contractor to complete the design, permitting and construction of the remaining four
restroom facilities was issued on December 4, 2002. The 29th Street facility was eliminated
due to community opposition. The 72nd Street facility was reallocated to be constructed
during the Band Shell Improvements in the North Beach Recreational Corridor Project.
Resolution No. 2003-25196, dated April 30, 2003, approved the award of a contract to Tran
Construction, Inc., (TRAN) in the amount of $648,000, pursuant to Bid No. 03-02/03, for
the Professional Design/Build services required for the design, permitting and construction
of four new Restroom/Concession Facilities within the beachfront parks located at 21st,
46th, 53rd and 64th Street respectively. The bid requirements included providing all labor,
materials and equipment necessary to design, permit and construct the new facilities in
accordance with the sixty percent (60%) design plans prepared by C3TS and the City's
Design Criteria Specification Package.
Many of the residents and property owners in the vicinity of the 29th Street facility had
voiced their opposition to the replacement of that specific restroom facility. Based on the
majority opposition to the redevelopment ofthe restroom, plans to replace the 29th Street
facility were discontinued. Therefore, this Resolution recommended the reallocation of the
General Obligation (GO) Bond funding, of $175,000, previously allocated to the 29th Street
restroom to be used for the construction of the 46th and 53rd Street facilities. This
reallocation was necessary to complete the funding for the Beach Restroom Project
awarded to TRAN. The Commission did not approve this recommendation and instead
directed the administration to preserve this funding for use in a potential future 35th Street
Restroom Facility. The Administration was then directed to seek other sources of funding
Redevelopment Agency Memorandum

for the project.
Funding in the amount of $250,000 for the 35th Street Restroom Facility will be available
from County GO Bond Funds approved by voters on November 2, 2004. Ata later time, the
Administration intends to request that the City Commission appropriate those funds along
with the aforementioned $175,000 in City G.O. Bond funds, for the design and construction
of the 35th Street facility.
After resolution of the litigation with C3TS and with the design documents more than sixty
percent (60%) completed, TRAN has now provided a new cost for the construction of the
21st Streetfacility. Because of the escalating prices on labor and materials the cost ofthe
restroom/concession facility is now as follows:
BATHROOM FACILITY:
FUNDING SOURCE
RDA
COST BREAKDOWN
DESIGN
CONSTRUCTION COST
CONTINGENCY
AIPP
CIP FEE
TOTAL:
21st STREET
$458,075
$14,030
$379,430
$37,943
$5,691
$20.981
$458.075
These costs are higher than the costs of the original TRAN bid due to the time span
between such award and the current agreement negotiations with TRAN. The new costs
include the consultant's services required to complete the documents, obtain the necessary
permits, and the construction administration services. The areas of higher costs include
steel, concrete and electrical installations where market increases have been significant in
recent times. Staff has reviewed and evaluated the proposed costs and find them within
acceptable parameters in the industry.
The 21st Street Restroom is located within the City Center Redevelopment Agency and
funding is available to complete this facility.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above information, the Administration recommends construction of the full
scope of the 21st Street restroom including the concession stand and recommends
appropriation of the RDA funds required in the amount of $458,075. A companion
memorandum in this agenda requests additional appropriations for the other two restrooms
in the TRAN bid.
