item summa
The recent construction at the Fontainebleau and Eden Roc Hotels prompted the City to re-evaluate the
existing water system's capacity to sustain the redundancy of the regional transmission service for the area.
Computer modeling and fire flow testing of the water system indicates that a 12-inch water main in lieu of the
10" cast iron water main will provide adequate redundancy to maintain required fire flows to this area for
firefighting purposes. Since the location of the currentwater main is within an FDOT road, the programming of
this water line was never part of the neighborhood improvement projects. Water mains within County roads
are also not part of the neighborhood improvement projects.
The City has prioritized this ~roject due to an upcoming FDOT roadway rehabilitation project on Collins
Avenue between 26'n and 44 n Streets. The project was designed in-house (saving the City an estimated
$30,000 in engineering design fees) and by obtaining a Job Order Contract (JOC) proposal from a contractor
performing similar work on adjacent streets.
City staff requested a JOC proposal from Ric-Man International because this firm is doing similar work
adjacent to the project site. The proposal was reviewed by City staff including the Special Assistant to the City
Manager. The original construction cost proposal for this scope of work was $452,137. After negotiations and
revisions to the scope, Ric-Man International submitted an acceptable proposal with a construction cost of
$443,449. Including contingency and JOC fees, the total cost is $496,498.
If approved, the work will be completed by the end of May 2010.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Matti Herrera Bower and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager
DATE: March 10, 2010
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO
APPROPRIATE FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $496,498 TO ESTABLISH
WATER MAIN FIRE FLOW REDUNDANCY OUTSIDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD
IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM ALONG COLLINS AVENUE FROM 41srT0 44r"
STREETS; FROM THE 2010 WATER AND SEWER BONDS.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
FUNDING
An amount of $496,498 in funding from the 2010 Water and Sewer Bonds.
Recent development on Indian Creek Drive north of 44th Street prompted the City to reviewthe current
redundancy of the regional water transmission service provided to the area. More specifically,
construction related to the Fontainebleau and Eden Roc Hotels prompted the City to re-evaluate the
water system's capacity to sustain redundancy in the system. Fire flow testing results and computer
modeling of the water system have demonstrated the need for increasing the existing 10-inch main to
a 12-inch water main in order to provide adequate redundancy, and to maintain at all times the
required rate of flow in this area for firefighting purposes. Since the location of the current water main
is within an FDOT road, the programming of this water line was never part of the neighborhood
improvement projects. Water mains within County roads are also not part of the neighborhood
improvement projects.
The City has prioritized the start of this project in order to complete the water main upgrade before the
start of an upcoming Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) roadway rehabilitation project on
Collins Avenue between 26th and 44th Streets, which is scheduled to begin in April 2010. The project
has been expedited by designing it in-house (saving the City an estimated $30,000 in engineering
design fees) and by obtaining a Job Order Contract (JOC) proposal from a contractor performing
similar work on adjacent streets.
City staff requested a JOC proposal from Ric-Man International becausethisfirm is doing similarwork
adjacent to the project site. The proposal was reviewed by City staff including the Special Assistant to
the City Manager. The original cost proposal totaled $506,393 including the construction proposal,
contingency, and JOC fee. After negotiations and revisions to the scope, Ric-Man International
submitted an acceptable proposal with a construction cost of $443,449, Including
contingency and JOC fees, the total cost is $496,498.

funds in the amount of $496,498 for the Water Main Improvements along Collins Avenue from 415` to
44`h Streets; with funding from the 2010 Water and Sewer Bonds.
