This project is currently under construction by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
The City's contribution in the amount not to exceed $250,000.00 for the capital cost of the Silva
Cells product is available from FY 2013/2014 305— Quality of Life Fund-South Beach.

Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
FDOT is currently constructing improvements on Alton Road/SR 907 from 5th Street to Michigan
Avenue (Project). The Project includes; roadway, sidewalk, curb, and gutter reconstruction,
significant drainage improvements including construction of three (3) stormwater pump stations,
decorative roadway and pedestrian lighting, landscaping, irrigation, and tree wells with bonded
aggregate improvements. At the request of the City Commission, the project designs were
modified to incorporate wider pedestrian sidewalks along with the introduction of medians
strategically placed along the Alton Road corridor. The design change provided the opportunity
to augment the sidewalk tree planting conditions to provide an improved root growth
environment for the trees planned for installation during this project.
These improvements require the execution of an amendment to the existing Locally Funded
Agreements (LFAs) to integrate the new Deep Root Green infrastructure "Silva Cells" product
and the required funding appropriation.
City Commission Memorandum — FDOT Agreement LFA Amendment for Alton Road/S.R. 907 from 5rn
Street to Michigan Avenue
December 11, 2013
ANALYSIS
The City of Miami Beach considers Alton Road to be a primary north-south arterial and
important gateway corridor serving the mobility needs of residents and visitors. As such, the
City has requested FDOT to include enhancements in the Project scope, which are considered
over and above the standard FDOT improvements.
It is important to note that FDOT typically does not include non-standard improvements and
enhancements such as landscaping, irrigation, tree wells with bonded aggregate, and the Silva
Cell improvements in the scope of its roadway projects unless specifically requested by the
municipality wherein the project is located. When such a request is made, the municipality is
typically responsible for the capital and maintenance costs associated with the implementation
of the non-standard project improvements and enhancements. Further, Memoranda of
Agreements (MOAs) and Locally Funded Agreements (LFAs) are required in order to implement
the non-standard improvements as part of an FDOT project.
On May 9, 2012, the Mayor and City Commission approved Resolution No. 2012-27899 which
authorized the execution of various Locally Funded Agreements (LFAs), Memoranda of
Agreements (MOAs), a Maintenance Memorandum of Agreement (MMOA), and a Utility Design
Agreement to implement the Project which will require amendments to provide for the
installation and integration of the "Silva Cells."
Funding for the integration of the new "Silva Cells" for the Project is available in an amount not
to exceed $250,000 from the FY 2013/2014 305-Quality of Life Fund-South Beach. This amount
is subject to future appropriation through a budget amendment to the Capital Budget to be
presented at the December 11, 2013, Commission Meeting. This product creates a structure to
support the concrete sidewalk and for improved root growth opportunities underneath the
walking surface. There are several benefits to be realized by using this technology including;
• Excellent load bearing capacity through their unique shape and structure which
resembles a honeycomb. They have been used to support sidewalks, parking lots,
culverts and grates. The 1100 block of Lincoln Road has utilized this approach with good
results.
• They resist soil compaction which has been shown to be detrimental to trees and one of
the main causes of long term decline while providing an opportunity to use a wide palette
of soil types including native and or recycled soil.
• Allows for water percolation and air transfer by effectively keeping moisture in the soil
profile, and helping storm water management by reducing runoff. Studies have shown
that with the proper soil mix, storm water runoff can be significantly reduced and filtering
of pollutants increased.
• Increases the total available soil volume for tree roots, as numerous studies have proven
the greater the total available soil volume, the healthier the urban tree and the longer its
potential life. Reducing the damage later caused by root growth, by providing a channel
for the roots to grow within.
