firm or organization, with City's pr/or written consent, or unless incident to the proper
performance of Consultant's obligations hereunder, or in the course of judicial or

public information concerning Services to be rendered by Consultant hereunder, and
Consultant shall require its employees, agents, subconsultants and subcontractors to
comply with the provisions of this paragraph.
12
N~ghborhood 5 - La Gorc¢ September 26, 2001
2.25 The City and Consultant acknowledge that the Scope of Services does not
delineate every detail and minor work task required to be performed by Consultant to
complete the Project. If, during the course of the performance of the Services
contemplated in this Agreement, Consultant determines that work should be performed to
complete the Project which is, in the Consultant's opinion, outside the level of effort
originally anticipated, whether or not the Scope of Services identifies the work items,
Consultant shall notify the City's Project Coordinator, in writing, in a timely manner, and
obtain said Project Coordinator's written consent, before proceeding with the work. The
City's Project Coordinator must comply with Contract Amendment processing
requirements as outlined in Article 1.16, prior to issuance of any written authorization to
proceed with additional Services to Consultant. If Consultant proceeds with additional
Services without notifying and obtaining the consent of the City's Project Coordinator,
said work shall be deemed to be within the original level of effort, and deemed included
as a Basic Service herein, whether or not specifically addressed in the Scope of Services.
Notice to the City's Project Coordinator does not constitute authorization or approval by
the City to perform the work. Performance of work by Consultant outside the originally
anticipated level of effort without the prior written consent of the City shall be at
Consultant's sole risk.
2.26 Consultant shall establish and maintain files of documents, letters, reports, plans,
etc. pertinent to the Project. Consultant shall provide City with a copy of applicable
Project correspondence for City to file in its filing system. In addition, Consultant shall
provide electronic Project documents files to the City, at the completion of the Project.
2.27 It is further the intent of this Agreement that the Consultant shall perform its
duties under this Agreement in a competent, timely and professional manner and that it
shall be responsible to the City for any failure in its performance except to the extent that
acts or omissions by the City or others make such performance impossible.
2.28 In the event Consultant is unable to timely complete the Project because of delays
13
Neighborhood 5- La Gorce September 26, 2001
resulting from untimely review by City or other governmental authorities having
jurisdiction over the Project or such delays which are caused by factors outside the
control of Consultant, Consultant shall provide City with immediate written notice stating
the reason for such delay and a revised anticipated schedule of completion. City, upon
review of Consultant's submittal and such other documentation as the City may require,
may grant a reasonable extension of time for completion of the Project and may provide
reasonable compensation, if appropriate.
2.29 The Consultant covenants with the City to furnish its Services hereunder properly,
in accordance with the standards of its profession and in conformance with all
construction, building and health codes and other applicable Federal, State and local
rules, regulations and laws, of which it should reasonably be aware, throughout the term
of this Agreement. The City's participation in the design and construction of any Project
in no way relieves the Consultant of its professional duties and responsibilities under
applicable law and under the Contract Documents

CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA
RIGHT OF WAY INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
SCOPE OF AJE CONSULTANT SERVICES
CONSULTANT:
Reynolds~ Smith and Hills~ Inc.
BACKGROUND
The City of Miami Beach (CITY) has developed various programs to improve the quality of life of
its residents. On November 2, 1999, voters approved the issuance of approximately $92 million
in General Obligation (GO) Bonds for Neighborhood, Parks, Beach and Fire Safety
Improvements, of which $57 million is allocated for capital right-of-way infrastructure projects
(Program). In addition to this allocation, CITY Administration proposes that a portion of the
recent Water and Wastewater Bond and Stormwater Bond issues also are allocated for capital
right-of-way infrastructure projects. These estimated $187 million of public right of way
infrastructure improvement projects are to be implemented over the next six (6) years. Program
elements include citywide water, wastewater and stormwater improvements; as well a variety of
streetscape enhancement projects. The CITY has contracted the services of Hazen and
Sawyer, P.C. to function as Program Manager (PROGRAM MANAGER), and act as the CITY's
agent with regard to all aspects of this scope of services. Hence, PROGRAM MANAGER shall
serve as the focal point of contact with the Architectural / Engineering firm (CONSULTANT).
The CITY will retain contractual agreement responsibilities with the CONSULTANT firms.
Due to the large number of projects that will be ongoing coincidentally during the Program, the
PROGRAM MANAGER has developed a Program Work Plan (PWP) detailing procedures and
policies for the overall Program. This PWP manual dictates the respective responsibilities and
levels of authority for all program team members. Organizational structure flowcharts and team
member duties are included to establish a working understanding regarding reporting and
communication relationships on the Program. The PWP includes a listing of design and
construction phase deliverables from the various A/Es and Contractors, along with proposed
PROGRAM MANAGER duties during the planning, design and construction phases of the
Program. One copy of the PWP will be given to CONSULTANT, who agrees to comply with
procedures set forth therein.
The CITY has prepared the City of Miami Beach Water System Master Plan dated November
1994 and the Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Master Plan dated March
1997 which identifies the preliminary investigations, analysis and recommendations to improve
water and stormwater infrastructure throughout the City. Subsequent planning efforts by the
CITY identified water infrastructure to be replaced and gathered data within certain
neighborhoods for use in preliminary drainage assessments. Data gathered for the stormwater
infrastructure includes the following:
· Test Borings
· Soil permeability tests (SFWMD Usual Condition Test Method)
· Existing stormwater drainage facility assessment

There are a total of thirteen neighborhoods within the Program scope. This scope of services
refers to CONSULTANT planning (Task 1), design (Task 2), bidding (Task 3), construction
administration (Task 4) services and Reimbursables (Task 5) specifically related to the following
neighborhood(s):
1. Neighborhood No. 5 - La Gorce
The purpose of the La Gorce Neighborhood Improvements is to provide for the restoration and
enhancement of the neighborhood's streets to meet the needs of the community. This project
will coordinate streetscape work with restoration and enhancement of the neighborhood's
sanitary, water, and storm drainage infrastructure.
The La Gorce Neighborhood includes all of the area from Surprise Lake, north to La Gorce
Island, and from Biscayne Bay east to the Indian Creek waterway. La Gorce Island and Allison
Island are part of the neighborhood; however improvements to the islands are not encompassed
by this scope.
The Lake View Area, bounded by Lake View Drive and 51st Street is a sub-neighborhood of the
La Gorce Neighborhood. The area is generally comprised of single-family residential streets.
There are no institutional uses, and only one small commercial building on 51st Street and
Cherokee Avenue. North Bay Road, Alton Road, Pine Tree Drive, and La Gorce Drive are all
comprised of large-lot, single family homes.
The south side of Allison Island is currently under redevelopment as a medium density, mixed-
use by private-sector developers.
The CITY has held community workshop meetings with residents of the La Gorce community to
address their needs. The improvements include:
Enhanced pedestrian and vehicular streetscape improvements
· street resurfacing and new pavement markings
· traffic calming
· swale restoration and/or curb and gutter restoration or upgrades
· street lighting upgrades to correct deficiencies where needed
· repair, extension, or widening of sidewalks to provide continuous, ADA-Title III
compatible separated pedestrian ways
· landscaping improvements
· upgrade of the drainage collection system and drainage improvements
· repair or rehabilitation of galvanized water mains
Infrastructure improvements are generally identified in the City of Miami Beach Comprehensive
Stormwater Management Program Master Plan, (March 1997), the City of Miami Beach Water
Page 2 of 24 RS&H - No. 5
Hwd:4005CO01 (No. 5 La Gorce).doc
System Master Plan, (November, 1994), and the Citywide Sanitary Sewer Infiltration and Inflow
Mitigation Program, and in subsequent amendments to the plans.
Pine Tree Drive and La Gorce Drive, both collector roadways maintained by Miami-Dade
County, have had splitter islands constructed for traffic calming purposes, and the splitter
islands and both streets are currently under design for landscaping treatments. This work is
separate from this scope.
Alton Road is a State-maintained minor aderial that runs through La Gorce. In 2003 Alton Road
is scheduled for resurfacing. The City is currently studying the potential to implement traffic
calming techniques and mechanisms along Alton Road to be constructed in conjunction with the
FDOT work. This planning study and subsequent design work is a separate effort from this
scope and will be performed by others; however, as Alton Road is an integral part of the
neighborhood, the La Gorce Neighborhood design team will have to coordinate with the Alton
Road improvement efforts.
The bridge and flyover at 63rd Street are scheduled for reconstruction in 2004 by FDOT. Since
the redesign has significant impacts to the La Gorce Neighborhood, the neighborhood design
team will have to coordinate with the 63rd Street Bridge reconstruction and flyover replacement
effort. The work will also consist of coordination with other consultants with respect to the FDOT
trafficway improvement projects and others.
Total construction costs budgeted for this neighborhood approximate $1,212,516. The total
construction costs associated with the neighborhood are funded from the General Obligation,
Stormwater Revenue and Water and Wastewater Revenue Bond Series.
A general map is attached as Exhibit A. Please note that the Exhibit identifies the neighborhood
limits as well as the location of water main replacement and areas requiring further
investigation. Note that a separate Notice to Proceed is required from the CITY prior to the
commencement of work on any Task.
For purposes of this scope of services, the work is herein defined to include two bid packages
that are to be implemented on two separate timelines.
TASK 1 - PLANNING SERVICES
The purpose of this Task is to establish a consensus design concept for the referenced
neighborhood(s) that meets the needs of the community and stays within established schedule
and cost parameters. Note that Tasks 1.1 through 1.5 are intended to develop a database for
the performance of Community Design Workshops. The total number of Community Design
Workshops to be conducted per neighborhood as discussed in Task 1.6. Based on the results
of the Community Design Workshops, a draft Basis of Design Report shall be developed as
noted in Task 1.7. Subsequent design review committee presentations and approvals shall be
as noted in Task 1.8. A final Basis of Design Report shall then be prepared summarizing the
accepted design concept, budget level cost estimate and implementation schedule as noted in
Task 1.10. To facilitate the implementation of a Public Information Program, CONSULTANT
shall provide electronic files of all project documents, as requested by CITY and/or PROGRAM

Task 1.2 - Infrastructure PlanninR: The CITY has performed certain planning efforts that
identified the location of water and sanitary sewer infrastructure replacement. The approximate
location of these improvements has been identified in Exhibit A and the clarification document to
the Water Master Plan dated June 29, 2001. It is the CITY's intent to have all galvanized water
mains / service connections and tuberculated cast iron mains replaced under this Program.
The CITY'S Water System Consultant has recently established additional guidelines for
prioritizing the recommended water line improvements to assist in the planning efforts. In
general these are as follows:
All items identified as "Water Line Replacement" and Galvanized Water Line Replacement"
must be replaced under the scope of the ROW projects. Hence, replacement of these lines
is to be included in the project scope and costs presented at the "visioning" session.
All items identified as "Water Line Replacement and / or Refurbishing" and 'NVater Line
Extension" are discretionary and will be replaced only if sufficient funding is available.
Decisions on funding availability will be made by the CiTY based on information provided by
each NE Consultant at the "Visioning" Session.
If sufficient funding is found available to implement discretionary replacements, the CITY will
utilize the services of its Water System Consultant to perform necessary investigations to
identify areas were these replacements will be implemented.
Under this task, CONSULTANT shall also meet with the Miami-Dade Department of
Environmental Resource Management (DERM) and CITY to define the level of service required
for stormwater infrastructure improvements. It is the CITY's intent that its Stormwater Consultant
lead and coordinate a meeting with DERM. The intent of this meeting is to establish the
regulatory drainage requirements for the entire City of Miami Beach.
