Key Intended Outcome Supported: Ensure well-maintained facilities. Supporting Data(Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): The 2009 Community Satisfaction Survey noted that 87% of residents reported the appearance and maintenance of the City's public buildings as Excellent or Good. 2011 survey results are under development. Issue: Shall the City establish a policy for the use of City-owned fee simple land for Construction Staging? Item Summa /Recommendation: Although the City has a fee structure in place for use of City Right-of-Way (ROW) space for Construction Staging, the City currently has no formal policy or fee structure for contractors requesting the use of City- owned fee simple land for Construction Staging in connection with City-funded construction projects, privately- funded construction projects and/or construction projects occurring in neighboring municipalities. The matter was discussed at the City's Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) meeting on March 21, 2013, and the following recommendations were made: The FCWPC recommended that the City continue to permit the use of vacant City-owned fee simple land, as may become available from time to time, for Construction Staging in connection with City-funded construction projects only. The Committee further recommended that the Administration establish a policy and conditions to govern this process, including a provision for the City to negotiate a credit for additional scope of work in exchange for staging on City-owned property. Pursuant to the direction of the FCWPC, staff is in the process of developing policy and criteria for use of City- owned property for Construction Staging, which will be presented to the City Commission for approval when ready. In the meantime, the Administration recommends accepting the recommendations of the FCWPC, allowing contractors involved with City-funded construction projects to use available City-owned fee simple land for Construction Staging.

Morales, City Manager DATE: June 5, 2013 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYO AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FINANCE & CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE ON MARCH 21, 2013, ALLOWING FOR THE USE OF VACANT CITY-OWNED FEE SIMPLE LAND, AS MAY BECOME AVAILABLE FROM TIME TO TIME, FOR THE PURPOSE OF STAGING AND/OR STORING CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT IN CONNECTION WITH CITY-FUNDED CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ONLY; AND FURTHER DIRECTING THE ADMINISTRATION TO DEVELOP POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR SUCH PURPOSE. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. KEY INTENDED OUTCOME SUPPORTED Ensure well maintained facilities. BACKGROUND The City currently has no established policy, mechanism or fee structure in place regarding the use of City property for the purpose of staging and/or storage of construction equipment ("Construction Staging"). Currently, arrangements are made on a case-by-case basis, interdepartmentally, depending on the proposed use of the land. Because it is not feasible to govern the use of City property by a conventional lease agreement or by the existing mechanism and fee structure identified for use of right-of-ways, the Administration developed a proposed License and Use Agreement for consideration by the Finance & Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC), and also conducted an analysis of comparable market rates for the use of land for Construction Staging. The analysis of comparable rates resulted in widely varying scenarios for the City's consideration in determining a fee structure, if that was the direction to be taken. However, other determinations should first be made such as: Whether the City wishes to charge contractors and/or developers for the use of City property during Construction Staging in connection with City-funded projects and/or developments; Whether the City should allow contractors and/or developers to use City property for Construction Staging in connection with privately-funded construction projects and/or developments, and Whether the City should allow contractors and/or developers to use City property for Construction Staging for publicly or privately funded construction projects and/or developments occurring in neighboring communities. City Commission Memorandum Construction Staging Memorandum June 5,2013 Page 2 of 3 In 2011, as the City anticipated escalating its right-of-way (ROW) infrastructure improvement projects, City contractors began to pursue available sites for staging and storage. The City did not have a process or fee structure in place to govern the use of City property for Construction Staging. The City was approached by, among others, Weekly Asphalt and Paving, the contractor engaged by FDOT to undertake roadway improvements extending along AIA (Collins Avenue) from 75th Street in Miami Beach to beyond City limits, where Collins Avenue intersects Haring Avenue in Surfside. The contractor had requested temporary use of one of the vacant City- owned lots on Collins Avenue between 86th and 871h Streets for its Construction Staging for a period of approximately twelve months, commencing as soon as available. Earlier requests were also received from the City of Bal Harbor regarding temporary use of one or more of the same lots for a project that it completed last summer and from Ric-Man International for a project it is currently working on in the City of Surfside. Due to the anticipated timing involved with the City being able to make a decision concerning use of the vacant lots, Bal Harbor opted to stage within its own boundaries. Ric-Man International did not want to spend more than $1,000.00 per month for use of the site. Other ROW projects, including Central Bay Shore and Lake Pancoast being undertaken by Lanzo Construction, and Sunset Islands 1 and 2 being undertaken by DMSI, are using FDOT's property on the Julia Tuttle Causeway for staging at no additional cost to the projects. David Mancini & Sons (DMSI) is currently using 52,500 square feet of City-owned vacant lots located between 85 and 86th Streets along Collins Avenue. DMSI has been using this site since May 4, 2011 for construction staging, parking and material storage in connection with two projects. At first, DMSI utilized the site while working as the City's right-of-way JOC Contractor for the Water Main Installation Project, and then remained on the site for the Biscayne Point Neighborhood Project, which broke ground at the end of September, 2011. DMSI provided proof of liability insurance coverage reflecting the City as an Additional Named Insured; however a fee structure for the use of the property was never pursued. ANALYSIS While there is no fee structure in place for Construction Staging on City property, a mechanism and fee structure exists regarding the use of City right-of-way space during Construction Staging. Section 82-151 of the City Code cites the market rate for obstruction of ROW as $.03 per square foot per day, plus a $37.50 application fee, and requires that contractors also be required to provide commercial general liability insurance naming the City as an additional insured, as well as worker's compensation and employer's liability as approved by the City's Risk Manager. Public Works also charges a review fee of$320.43 to cover the cost of staff time spent reviewing applications of this nature ("Obstruction of Right of Way Ordinance"). On March 21, 2013, the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) discussed the use of City property for Construction Staging in connection with City-funded construction projects, privately-funded construction projects, and construction projects occurring in neighboring municipalities. The Administration's intent was to recommend a mechanism that would allow the City Manager to negotiate and enter into temporary licensing-use agreements with contractors. The FCWPC recommended that the City should continue to allow contractors and/or developers involved with City-funded construction projects to use available City-owned fee simple land for Construction Staging. The Committee further recommended that the Administration establish a City Commission Memorandum Construction Staging Memorandum June 5, 2013 Page 3 of 3 policy and conditions to govern this process, including a provision for the City to negotiate a credit for additional scope of work in exchange for staging on City-owned property. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Pursuant to the direction of the FCWPC, staff is in the process of developing policy and criteria for use of City-owned property for Construction Staging, which will be presented to the City Commission for approval when ready. In the meantime, the Administration recommends accepting the recommendations of the FCWPC, allowing contractors involved with City-funded constryCion projects to use available City-owned fee simple land for Construction Staging.
