STEPHENSON CONSTRUCTION, INC.; AND FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT FOR PRE - CONSTRUCTION SERVICES. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. KEY INTENDED OUTCOME SUPPORTED Ensure well maintained infrastructure. ANALYSIS Because beach tourism is vital to the economic well being of our community, and the availability of safe, clean and accessible beachfront restrooms is vital to beach tourism, the Administration initiated an effort to replace the deteriorated facilities with new standardized facilities. Over the last few years, new restroom facilities have been constructed at 14th, 21St, 35 46 and 64 Streets. New restroom facilities are also currently being built at 72 Street as part of the Oceanfront Community Center Project. The restroom facilities located at 6 and 53 Streets are in a deteriorated condition and cannot be effectively secured, and are not adequate to serve the large number of users. The scope of work for this project consists of the demolition of the existing restroom facility located at Lummus Park at 599 Ocean Drive (6 Street Restrooms), and construction of a new 1,500 SF facility; and the demolition of the existing restroom facility and Ocean Rescue office (53 Street Restrooms), located at 53 Street and Collins Avenue, and construction of a new 864 SF restroom facility and 546 sf office for the Ocean Rescue Department. CIP staff has studied the use of Construction Management at Risk (CMR) project delivery method for this project in lieu of a standard Design- Bid -Build process, and recommends the CMR option as the most advantageous project delivery method to successfully complete the Commission Memorandum RFQ No. 40 -1011 - 6 Street and 53 Street Restrooms October 19, 2011 Page 2 construction of the new restroom facilities at 6 and 53 streets. One of the most important distinctions between the CMR project approach and the Design- Bid -Build is that the CMR is selected based on the CMR firm's qualifications. The CMR approach will give the City the added value of having a qualified contractor evaluate the project documents for any inconsistencies, errors and omissions between the various design disciplines and constructability of the project. The Project Team, consisting of the Owner (City), Design Professional and CMR work together to produce a quality project with a design that is also buildable in an environment based on a collaborative effort between the three parties in order to work out all the potential conflicts in the project prior to construction. To this end the CMR firm is contracted to perform pre- construction services and provide at the City's request or option, a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and certifies by signing the GMP contract with the City that the CMR firm can build the project for the GMP. The City will request Pre - Construction Services as follows: • Constructability and Value Engineering • Review of Onsite and Offsite Conditions • Scheduling • Bidding (GMP submittal & Negotiations) The CMR is tasked to work with the Design Professional to advise the City of the constructability of the design and provide value engineering of the Design Professional's documents, to check the quality of the documents and advise the Owner of the most efficient, and economical ways to build the project pursuant to the Owner's goals and objectives. The end result is a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) from the Contractor, which is subject to restrictions in change order requests and minimizes, or eliminates, additional costs to the City. In order to ensure that the City is successful in negotiating the best value for this project, the City will hire an independent Construction Estimator to provide assistance in validating the CMR's construction costs according to the current market. The City's construction budget for the two restroom facilities is approximately $1 million. SCOPE OF SERVICES The Construction Manager's at Risk (CMR) Scope of Services shall include, without limitation, all of the Preconstruction Services set forth below and, upon approval by the City of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and as contemplated in any GMP Amendment(s), all of the Construction Services required to complete the Work in strict accordance with the Contract Documents, and to deliver the Project to the City at or below the GMP and within the Contract time. The CMR shall review Project requirements, existing on -site and off-site development, surveys and preliminary budget, and make recommendations to the City for revisions. The CMR shall prepare a Project Schedule in accordance with the Contract Documents and in coordination with the City and the Architect/Engineer, identifying all phases, critical path activities, and critical duties of each of the Project team members. The CMR shall review the permitted set of plans and advise the City and the Architect/Engineer regarding the constructability of the Commission Memorandum RFQ No. 40 -1011 - 6 th Street and 53 Street Restrooms October 19, 2011 Page 3 design and of any errors, omissions, or conflicts it discovers. The CMR shall prepare an outline of proposed bid packages and detailed cost estimates, and advise the City regarding trends in the construction and labor markets that may affect the price or schedule of the Project. The CMR shall attend all Project related meetings. The CMR's Preconstruction Services shall be provided, and the City shall compensate the CMR for such services, based upon a fixed fee. At the conclusion of the Preconstruction Services Phase, the CMR shall, provide the City a proposal for a GMP Amendment for construction phase services and without assuming the duties of the Architect/Engineer, warrant to the City, that the plans, specifications and other Contract Documents are consistent, practical, feasible and constructible, and that the Project is constructible within the contract time.

The classrooms offer shelf and storage space and include a wet science lab with electrical, plumbing and fume hood infrastructure. Bathrooms are independent. A computer room was built with a quiet area for reading. The project included offices for teachers and administrative staff. Materials selected had to match existing adjacent facilities. New utilities for power, water, sewer and drainage were installed. All electrical, fire alarm, security and mechanical systems are independent from existing buildings. The mechanical system includes independent smoke evacuation for the second floor which is shell space for future classrooms. Thornton also developed circulation spaces for interior and exterior walk- ways connecting the buildings, and improved landscaping and exterior areas. The Department of Juvenile Justice built this school to rehabilitate the lives of juvenile delinquents. The pilot boarding school program Bay Point Schools, Inc., was established in 1995 for 13- to 18- year -old males based on a theory that these boys are not mentally ill, sick, or born bad. Education, behavior modification and moral development are emphasized in a new, inno- vative boarding - school approach based on the sociological model. ..... ...: IIIA gy -1 �' - r�� ar .... _ .r , f .._. }„ - Y i w ;, ■ i * art • a• at a se so , 1111 t e 0 V.

The South Dade Government Center employs 140 and provides daily services to over 2,100 customers. Thornton Construction renovated approximately 10,300 SF of the 1st & 2nd floor of the existing Government Center, adding court- rooms, chambers and post judgment area. This project had a 31% minority business enterprise goal. From the early stage of this project, during the bidding process, Thornton invited all minority contractors listed in the Miami -Dade County Department of Business Development certified small business enterprise list, along with minority subcontractors with whom Thornton has an existing relationship. Thorn- ton broke down the subcontractor packages into small scopes of work, allowing a greater number of minority firms the abil- ity to bid on this project. Thus, 45% MBE participation was achieved on this project, exceeding the 31% that was required. Owner Architect Miami Dade County GSA M.C.
