SUBJECT A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution
BACKGROUND
The Bandshell Park, located on Collins Avenue, between 72nd and 73rd Streets, will be
undergoing a renovation that consists of new walkways and enhanced circulation, a wider
promenade, widening of the 73rd Street sidewalk, new walkway linking the park to the North
Beach Recreation Corridor at 72nd Street, new landscaping and irrigation, new urban elements
including seating, tables, bike racks, water fountains, trash receptacles, new security lighting,
and a new marquee for the park.
CIP staff has studied the use of Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) project delivery method
for this project in lieu of a standard Design-Bid-Build process, and recommended the CMR
option as the most advantageous project delivery method to successfully complete the
renovation of the Bandshell Park. One of the most important distinctions between the CMR and
the Design-Bid-Build project approaches 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.
Commission Memorandum — RFQ-42-10/11 — Construction Manager at Risk Services for the
Bandshell Park Facility
December 14, 2011
Page 2 of 7
This project delivery method also minimizes additional costs from the Contractor, including
change orders and time extensions, since the GMP amendment prohibits most project cost
adjustments Under this approach, time is of the essence to the Contractor because there will
be no compensation considered for delays
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 (3) 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 has requested pre-construction services as follows.
• Constructability and Value Engineering
• Review of Onsite and Offsite Conditions
• Scheduling
• Bidding (GMP submittal & Negotiations)
The Construction Manager at Risk shall be tasked to work with the Design Professional to
advise the City of the constructability of the design and provide value engineering of the Design
Professionals documents The CMR will check the quality of the documents and advise the City
of the most efficient and economical way to build the project pursuant to the Owners goals and
objectives
The end result is a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) from the CMR. This 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 "Best Value" Procurement process will be used to select a firm with the necessary
experience and qualifications, as well as demonstrating the ability, capacity and proven past
successful performance in providing CMR services The review/evaluation process to be utilized
is one of "Best Value" Procurement which, in addition to price, takes into consideration past
performance of the bidder's team on previously completed projects, the Risk Assessment
Plan/Value Added Submittal (RAPNAS) prepared for this project (and submitted with the bid),
and qualifications of the bidder's key personnel (based on presentations/interviews conducted
by the technical review panel, as further set forth in the evaluation criteria)
The City's construction budget for the renovation of the Bandshell Park is approximately
$800,000
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The CMR's 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
