Item Summary /Recommendation:
The Par 3 Golf Course original scope of work consisted of the re- design of the existing nine -hole Par 3 Golf Course,
inclusive of new lakes, jogging path, tennis courts, splash pad and tot lot The final concept plan for the Par 3 was
presented to the community on March 28, 2011. Members of the community expressed concerns regarding the
implementation of a proposed plan with a splash pad and a tot lot, which could potentially attract children onto the Par 3
fairways and in turn create potential safety hazard. The BHA President later also presented a proposed plan that was
indicative of the elements that the residents would accept as part of the Par 3 Golf Course re- design, which are the lakes,
jogging path, and four (4) tennis courts. At the May 2011 Commission meeting, the City Commission was, however,
receptive to consider relocating the four (4) hard surface tennis courts further west, adjacent to Pinetree Drive, g as well as
incorporating the tot lot and water splash pad, consistent with the original Master Plan. The City conducted a siibsequent
analysis of the potential relocation of these amenities. Staff concluded that these modifications may be feasible, but not
without modifications to the current golf course design resulting from the relocation of the tennis courts, tot lot, and
splash pad facility, and potential existing trees.
The Flamingo Park Master Plan, as approved and adopted by the City Commission on September 9, 2009, recommended
the demolition of the existing Flamingo Park Tennis Center and construction of a new 5,000SF Tennis Center, with
seventeen (17) hydro courts. During the February 3, 2010 Commission meeting, Dr Rosann Sidener, the principal of Miami
Beach High School, as well as a number of parents of Miami Beach High School students, a representative of the Miami
Beach High PTA, and residents of the community, spoke and issued a unified request to include five (5) hard surface
tennis courts in the new Flamingo Park Tennis Center for use by the High School's Tennis Team. At its June 9, 2010
Commission Meeting, Commission voted to install twelve (12) clay courts and five (5) hard courts at Flamingo Park in lieu
of the seventeen (17) clay courts. City staff has, since then, met with Dr. Rosann Sidener and her staff, and hey have
been receptive to including four (4) hard courts at the Par 3 location. The Miami Beach High School's recepti ity to the
construction of the tennis courts at Par 3 Golf Course, triggered an opportunity for the City to proceed with th adopted
Flamingo Park Master Plan of seventeen (17) hydro courts immediately
After thorough evaluation, the Administration recommends that the Par 3 Golf Course Scope of Work and the Flamingo
Park Project Tennis Center design remain as originally approved by the Commission in Resolution No. 2010 -27 07 (June
9, 2010) and Resolution No 2009 -27190 (September 9, 2009) respectively. The Par 3 re- design layout will include the four
(4) hard tennis courts, splash pad and tot -lot, located adjacent to Pine Tree Drive, serving the Middle Beach Community as
well as meeting the needs of the Miami Beach High School Tennis Team. The Flamingo Park Tennis Center, as currently
designed and permitted, includes seventeen (17) hydro courts, as per the originally adopted Master Plan Option "L ".

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
BEACH, FLORIDA, PERTAINING TO THE PAR 3 GOLF COURSE AND THE FLAMING
PARK PROJECT TENNIS CENTER, AND RATIFYING PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
RESOLUTION NO. 2010-27407, WHICH APPROVED AND ADOPTED THE RE- DESIGN

INTRODUCTION
Par 3 Golf Course Re- design:
On March 31, 2009, the City held a publicly advertised meeting at Miami Beach Senior His h
School where three (3) options for the newly proposed Par 3 Golf course were present =d
and explained in detail. After a thorough explanation of each alternative, the communi
favored the "Refurbished nine (9) hole Par 3 Golf Course ", which would retain a full nin --
hole golf course, as it exists today.
Following the input and recommendations from the residents and Bayshore Homeowner.'
Association (BHA), at the commission meeting of October 14, 2009, the Mayor and Ci
Commission, authorized the Administration to issue an RFQ for the Design, Bid and Aware,
and Construction Administration Services, for the re- design of the nine hole Par 3 G•If
Course. On November 2, 2009 the city issued RFQ No. 07 -09/10 for Design and Bid /
Award Services and Construction Management Services for the Re- design of the Par 3 G • If
Course.
At the February 3,2010 meeting the City Commission approved the resolution No.2010-
27324 accepting the recommendation of the City Manager and authorizing the
administration to enter into negotiations with the top ranked firm of McCumber Golf, Inc.
Following the negotiations the city was able to reach an agreement with McCumber Golf for
the re- design of the Par 3 on June 9, 2010.
On March 28, 2011 a public meeting with the Bayshore residents was held at the Miami
Beach Golf Course Club house. The primary goal of this meeting was to present the
community with the final concept plan for the Par 3, which encompassed all the elements
that McCumber Golf, had been commissioned to provide in accordance with the approved
scope of work.

Following McCumber's presentation, members of the community expressed concer s
regarding the implementation of the original scope of work specifically, the addition of t e
proposed splash pad and a tot lot. The concern being, that these facilities would attra t
children onto the Par 3 fairways, and which in turn might create potential safety hazard. 1
The BHA later presented a proposed plan that was indicative of the elements that the
residents would accept as part of the Par 3 Golf Course re- design. The plan suggested a
similar layout of the Par 3, inclusive of the lakes, jogging path and four tennis courts, as well
as 26 parking spaces along the front of the Hebrew Academy play area. However, the
proposed BHS plan did not include the incorporation of a tot lot, splash pad and associated
restroom facilities, and as such, this proposal would remain inconsistent with the originally
design and scope of work.
At the May 2011 Commission meeting, the City Commission was, however, receptive to
relocating the four(4) hard surface tennis courts further west, adjacent to Pinetree Drive, as
well as incorporating the tot lot and water splash pad, consistent with the originally planned
scope of work. The City conducted a subsequent analysis of the potential relocation of these
amenities. Staff concluded that these modifications may be feasible, but not without changes
to the current golf course design resulting from the relocation of the tennis courts, tot lot, ar>jd
splash pad facility, and potential relocation of some existing trees. In this preliminary
analysis, staff anticipates that the increase in the size of the tot lot from small to mediurhi
splash pad could potentially increase the contract budget by $250,000. Other potenti I
impacts may include the reduction in length of several holes, as well as added parking
spaces to accommodate the amenities. As part of the executed contract for the Scott Rako
Remodeling and Renovation Project, adjacent to the future Par 3 Golf course, the City and
the contractor agreed that "should the construction manager at risk realize any savings fro
the negotiated schedule of values, incorporated as part of the Guaranteed Maximum Pri e
(GMP), the City shall receive 75% of said savings ". Per this agreement, the City h s
received project savings totaling $171,555.00. The residual savings rom the Scott Rako
Remodeling and Renovation Project will be part of a future appropriation to the Par 3 proje t
as part of the FY 2011/12 Capital Budget process.
It is important to underline that the scope of work for the Par 3 would remain as original y
adopted in Resolution No. 2010 - 27407, (June 9,2010). This original scope included th
incorporation of two (2) to five (5) tennis courts; public restrooms; a jogging trail around th
perimeter of the site; a small tot lot; a splash pad; a grove of flowering/ fruit trees as well s
lakes which would act as natural habitat reservoirs and as a drainage basins and irrigation
systems for the Golf Course. The location of the tennis courts (now 4), tot lot, and the splash
pad are proposed to be on east side of the site, on the Pinetree Drive side, between the
Hebrew Academy and the Mikvah (see Attachment "A" showing 4 tennis courts).
Flamingo Park Master Plan and Tennis Center:
On March 27, 2008 Wolfberg Alvarez and Partners (WA) was originally retained to prepare
Master Plan for Flamingo Park. The Master Plan, approved by the Historic Preservatio
Board (HPB) on November 12, 2008, recommended demolition of the existing Flaming
Park Tennis Center as well as the construction of a new 5,000 SF Tennis Center (amon
other capital improvements to the Park infrastructure).
On September 9, 2009, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2009 - 27190, which
included the amended Master Plan Option "L ", which included the following:
• A new 4,232 square -foot Tennis Center facility inclusive of public restrooms, mult -
purpose room, concession and pro -shop, office for City staff, men's and women'
locker rooms including restroom and shower facilities exclusively for the tenni
players, and maintenance shop and storage room;
Commission Memorandum — Par 3 Golf Course
June 1, 2011
Page3of3
Please refer to Attachment "B" for a complete illustration of the proposed Tennis Center.,
Subsequently, during the February 3, 2010 Commission meeting, a discussion was hel
concerning the number and composition of tennis courts to be constructed at the Flaming
Park Tennis Center. During this discussion Dr. Rosanne Sidener, the principal of Mia i
Beach High School, as well as a number of parents of Miami Beach High School students,
representative of the Miami Beach High PTSA, and residents of the community spoke an
issued a unified request to include five (5) hard surface tennis courts in the new Flaming
Park Tennis Center for use by the High School's Tennis Team. The majority of high -scho I
tennis matches in the State of Florida are played on hard surface tennis courts, and all fo r
(4) classifications of the FHSAA state championship tennis final tournaments are played on
only hard surface tennis courts.
City staff since then has met with Dr. Rosanne Sidener and her staff, and they have been
receptive to including four (4) hard courts at the Par 3 location, favoring its new proposed
location better than the Flamingo Park by virtue of their proximity to the Miami Beach High
School. Dr. Sidener has requested; however, that said Tennis Facilities be given the
opportunity of a set schedule for varsity tennis practice and tournaments. For pre - season
practice, November through January, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, between th
hours of 3:OOPM and 5:30PM. For practice and hosting tournaments, January through Ap I,
on Mondays through Fridays, from 3:OOPM to 5:30PM. The School would also request th t
proper signage be provided in the park to advise the residents of these aforementione
school activities and hours. A separate Memorandum of Understanding between the City
and the Miami Beach High School will be developed for the use of the future Par 3 Tenn
Center at a later date.
The Miami Beach High School's receptivity to the construction of the tennis courts at Par 3
Golf Course triggers an opportunity for the City to proceed with the adopted Flamingo Park
Master Plan of seventeen (17) hydro courts immediately. The Administration is currently
seeking approval from the City Commission, via separate Commission item, to issue a
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) firm to provide
pre- construction services and construction phase services, via a Guaranteed Maximum
Place (GMP) Amendment, for the Flamingo Park Tennis Center Project.
CONCLUSION
After thorough evaluation, the Administration recommends that the Par 3 Golf Course Scope
of Work and the Flamingo Park Project Tennis Center design remain as originally approved
and adopted by the Commission through Resolution No. 2010 -27407 (June 9, 2010) and
Resolution No. 2009 -27190 (September 9, 2009) respectively with the inclusion of ah
increased medium tot lot facility.
The Par 3 re- design layout will include the four (4) hard tennis courts, small splash pad , a
medium tot -lot and parking. These amenities will be located adjacent to Pine Tree Drive and
will serve the Middle Beach Community as well meet the needs of the Miami Beach High
School Tennis Team as requested.
The Flamingo Park Tennis Center, as currently designed and permitted, would now include
seventeen 7) h • ro courts, as per the originally adopted Master Plan Option "L ".
