BACKGROUND
On October 15, 2003, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2003 - 25376, approving
the Infrastructure Improvement Program Basis of Design Report (BODR) for the Biscayne Point
Neighborhood prepared by The Corradino Group, Inc. This BODR was the culmination of a
comprehensive planning effort that included input from and reviews by residents, various City
Departments, and the Design Review Board (DRB). After several attempts to negotiate a reasonable fee

Page 2 of 4
for the design, bid and award, and construction administration of the project, the City terminated its
relationship with The Corradino Group Inc. On October 13, 2004, the City issued a Request for
Qualifications (RFQ), to select another Consultant to complete the Biscayne Point Neighborhood
Improvement Project. As a result, on July 27, 2005, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution
No. 2005 - 25973, approving and authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an agreement with
EAC Consulting, Inc. (the Consultant) to provide Professional Engineering and Landscape Architecture
consulting services for the Biscayne Point Neighborhood Right -of -Way (ROW) Improvement Project in
the amount of $1,186,807.
Since the execution of the original Agreement, there have been a total of eight (8) amendments which
have been either approved by the City Commission or administratively approved. The previous
amendments will result in a total contract value of $1,593,451 once all have been fully executed. A
complete list of the executed amendments and proposed amendments for this project has been
provided in Attachment A.
ANALYSIS
Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 07 -10/11 was issued on November 30, 2010, with an opening date of January
27, 2011. The Technical Review Panel (TRP) convened the week of February 14, 2011, to shortlist and
interview prospective bidders and recommended to the City Manager that the Biscayne Point project
contract be awarded to David Mancini & Sons, Inc. (DMSI) as the lowest and best bidder for the project.
The City Manager then exercised his due diligence and recommended to the Mayor and City
Commission to award the contract to DMSI. On March 9, 2011, the Mayor and City Commission
authorized the award of a contract to DMSI for the Biscayne Point Right -of -Way Improvements Project.
As part of the award, the Mayor and City Commission authorized the Administration to engage in value
engineering to reduce the cost and completion time of the project and awarded the contract subject to a
level of service review of the plans by the City's Public Works Department.
The Consultant's original contract did not provide for value engineering services to assist the City with
value engineering alternatives proposed by the Contractor. In order to evaluate the compliance of any
proposed substitutions or design modifications with the design criteria and contract documents, the
Consultant must be involved in all the value engineering discussions. In this amendment, the Consultant
is requesting additional services to participate in the value engineering process. Their proposed services
would include engineering analyses, assessments, verification, and investigations required to ascertain
the merit and benefits of the value engineering proposals provided by the Contractor prior to the
commencement of construction activities. The consultant will attend value engineering meetings,
conference calls, coordinate, provide responses and make recommendations regarding to the proposed
options.
When the Agreement was originally negotiated, the scope of services for the Biscayne Point Right -of-
Way Improvements project was based on the BODR that was completed for the neighborhood. The
BODR provided only a preliminary analysis of the existing storm water system which did not allow for the
development of a comprehensive storm water system design concept. As such, the scope of services
included as part of the Agreement did not include those construction administration services associated
with constructing a storm water pump station design which was introduced into the project in
Amendment No. 5 to the Agreement. As part of this Amendment No. 10, the Consultant is requesting
additional services to perform construction administration services for the pump station design.
The construction administration services would now be expanded to include the additional hours
required for attending and participating in additional weekly construction progress meetings, providing
additional technical submittal reviews, and reviewing and responding to additional RFIs, CDCs, COs,
processing of shop drawings, performing additional specialty site inspection and reporting services,
City Commission Memorandum - EAC Amendment No. 9 Memo

preparing substantial completion documents, participating in the project close -out process, including
preparing project record drawings and certifying that the Project was constructed in accordance with the
Construction Documents. The Consultant will be responsible for developing a "punch list" of items
needing completion or correction, prior to consideration of final acceptance. Based on successful
completion of all outstanding work items by the Contractor, the Consultant shall assist City in closing out
the construction contract. The Consultant shall also coordinate with the Contractor as necessary to
transfer record drawing markups, and update the corresponding CAD files for record purposes and to
certify the Project as complete, in accordance with all applicable jurisdictional permitting requirements.
The fee being requested by the Consultant for the project close -out services is included as part of the
construction administration services.
To effectively manage the construction of the Biscayne Point Right -of -Way Improvements project, the
Administration has determined that it would be necessary to have a full -time qualified Resident Project
Representative (RPR) to provide adequate daily field observation in addition to construction
administration services. These services are necessary to verify that critical elements of construction are
properly completed and that the general intent of the Contract Documents is being met.
The Consultant's original contract did not provide for resident project representative services and only
allowed for a limited amount of construction administration services throughout the duration of the
project. The approved construction administration fees under the original contract were $167,377, which
represent 1.5% of the total cost of construction. RPR and construction administration services are
typically between 5.0% and 10% of the total construction value. In 2003, when the original contract was
negotiated, the RPR services for the project were anticipated to be provided by Hazen and Sawyer, Inc.,
the Program Manager at the time the design of the project was initiated. By terminating the continuing
professional services agreement with the Program Manager, the RPR role for the Biscayne Point Right -
of -Way Improvements project became vacant and the services unfulfilled. As part of Amendment No.
10, EAC proposes to assume the role and responsibilities of the RPR and provide the required close -out
certifications, certifications which were originally to be completed by the Program Manager. The City has
negotiated with EAC for full -time RPR services in order to provide adequate project oversight for a
construction duration period of up to twenty -four (24) months.
EAC's RPR services for the project would entail observing the project construction and determining if
the Contractor is adhering to the Construction Documents; attending weekly construction meetings;
maintaining daily logs of the job conditions; monitoring independent testing laboratories; providing photo
documentation of the site before, during, and at the close -out of construction; reviewing materials and
workmanship for acceptability; verifying quantities of work installed in the field and reviewing contractor
payment requisitions; monitoring as -built documentation; coordinating with the project team to address
Requests for Information (RFIs), Contract Document Clarifications (CDCs), Change Orders (COs) and
Field Orders. The RPR shall be onsite at all times while the Contractor is performing work. Consultant's
level of effort is based on the assumption that the RPR shall monitor all Contractor work crews as
specified by the Consultant in the Contract Documents. These services would be in addition to the basic
construction administration services provided in the original contract scope of services and those
additional construction administration services proposed in this amendment.
Once this Amendment has been approved by the City Commission and executed by the Mayor, the
Consultant shall commence with the value engineering services. We estimate that value engineering
discussions will take approximately eight (8) weeks to complete and permitting revisions to take an
additional four (4) to six (6) weeks. As such, Construction on the Biscayne Point Right -of -Way
Improvements project would commence sometime in the 3rd quarter of 2011. It is important to note that
changes to the current set of plans will require a change order to the construction contract, an exact
estimate of which cannot be determined at this time.
City Commission Memorandum - EAC Amendment No. 9 Memo
April 13, 2011
Page 4 of 4
Execution of Amendment No. 9 approves additional services to provide value engineering services,
additional construction administration services, and RPR services for a period of up to twenty -four
months (24) for the Biscayne Point Right -of -Way Improvements project for a lump sum fee of $23,392,
$8,364, and $326,928, respectively, and a not -to- exceed amount of $9,246 for reimbursable expenses,
for at total amount of $367,930. The Consultant's proposed construction administration/ RPR services
fee as a percent of the Project's total construction cost is lower than customary for construction
administration/ RPR services.
CONCLUSION:
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute Amendment No. 9 to the agreement between the City of Miami Beach and EAC
Consulting, Inc. for Professional Architectural and Engineering Services Pursuant to the Request for
Qualifications No. 42 -03/04 for the Biscayne Point Neighborhood Right -of -Way Improvement Project,
dated July 27, 2005, for value engineering services, additional construction administration services, and
Resident Project Representation (RPR) services (for a period of up to twenty -four months), in the lump
sum amount of $358,684 plus an additional not -to- exceed amount of $9,246 for reimbursable expenses,
for a total not -to- exceed amount of $367,930; with previously appropriated funding in the amount of
$97,362 from Fund 376 and funding in the amount of $90,648 from Fund 420; and further appropriating
funding in the amount of $179,920 from Fund 429, Storm Water Projects Line of Credit, with such funds
to be repaid from proposed future storm water bonds.
