IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $153,500; FURTHER APPROPRIATING $153,500 FROM PARKING REVENUE BOND FUND 481 AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A WORK ORDER FOR THE PROJECT. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. FUNDING $153,500 ANALYSIS Funds are available from Parking Revenue Bond Fund 481 for the purpose of professional engineering services in the form of parking demand analysis. On November 27, 2001, the Joint Land Use and Finance Committee approved three recommendations, one of which was the procurement of an engineering firm to provide professional services in the form of a citywide parking demand analysis. At this time, it is appropriate to take a comprehensive approach in assessing existing and future parking demand by analyzing all the major corridors in the City. While the City is subdivided into three areas geographically, South, Middle, and North, it is important to identify [parking] generators within these corridors and plan for the potential shared use of strategically placed surface lots and/or multi-level facilities within close proximity to abutting corridors within these three major subdivisions. The Parking Demand Analysis will serve as a blueprint for the Parking System to plan, develop, and implement its Capital Projects Plan. There are six study areas outlined. Each area is unique and has its AGENDA ITEM G75 7-(r~1 DATE Commission Memorandum July 18, 2001 Page 2 of 3 own characteristics. As a whole, the parking study area is bounded by South Point Drive on the south, 87th Terrace on the north, Biscayne Bay on the west, and the Atlantic Ocean on the east. For ease of compilation and reference, the study areas are subdivided and prioritized into the following geographical areas; however, it is essential that abutting areas be taken into account to accurately reflect the overall needs of the district: a. North Beach - 63rd Street to 87th Terrace b. South Pointe - South Pointe Drive to 5th Street c. South Beach - 5th Street to 17th Street d. Hotel Corridor/South - Collins/James Avenue between 17th Street and 23rd Street, including Cultural Campus area e. Hotel Corridor/North - Collins Avenuellndian Creek between 23rd Street and 41st Street f. Middle Beach - 41st to 63rd Streets The Scope of Services developed specifically for the City of Miami Beach Parking Study is based on four tasks. The City reserves the right to prioritize the sequencing of tasks and by area. The citywide parking study will address the following tasks: 1. Physical Inventory and Analysis 2. Projection of Future Parking Demand and Need 3. Cost and Feasibility Analysis 4. Public Involvement The objectives of this study are: 1. To take Physical Inventory and perform an Analysis to include a snapshot review of current citywide parking operations and characteristics and then explore changes to that system in response to growth and operational changes. 2. Data collection activities include review and gathering of inventory and use data, financial information on the parking system, maps, previously prepared reports, and user surveys and drawings. 3. To project future parking demands and needs simultaneously with the assessment of existing parking conditions. Three development scenarios will be evaluated, existing, year 2006, and year 2011, if necessary. The parking model will project the demand for a series of alternatives that represent various outcomes of proposed development projects. The parking assessment scenarios will be evaluated in several categories including projects under construction, projects programmed for construction, and potential projects. 4. To prepare Cost and Feasibility Analysis to determine the most feasible and sustainable parking expansion in order to preserve the functional integrity of the existing parking system or, if expansion of the parking system is recommended, the location and configuration of feasible new facilities. 5. Public Involvement will be a critical element to the success of the parking improvement plan. Therefore, the following meetings or presentations will be conducted: - Project initiation: an opportunity for public input and comment at the initial stages of the project. - Preliminary study findings. - Study findings. - Planning board, Joint Land Use and Finance Committee, Transportation and Parking Committee, City Commission, and other Committees as deemed appropriate.

The key areas of expertise required for this project are parking, traffic, transportation, engineering, and public involvement skills and local awareness. The Walker/Corradino team provides all of the required expertise. Oeliverables The following schedule is planned: A. Supply/Demand Analysis B. Alternative Analysis C.
