Item SummarylRecommendation:
The City is seeking to remediate the existing water feature, located at the south terminus of Washington
Avenue,which was built as a part of the South Pointe Park Project.Shortly after Substantial Completion of
the project in 2009,the Department of Health(DOH)issued a Stop Work Order due to several potential code
violations and the absence of a DOH permit to operate, concluding that this water feature was incorrectly
permitted as an interactive water feature. In 2012 the City of Miami Beach (City) evaluated several
remediation alternatives and chose to reconstruct the plaza and incorporate the water fountains and water
cannons into a non-interactive environment that would still maintain the original design aesthetic and the
same amenity for users of the park.The new design includes modifications to meet prior code issues.The
existing water cannons will be repurposed as misting stations and the at-grade fountains have been
converted to elevated tension edge water features. Portions of the existing mechanical systems will be
reused and others will be replaced with new equipment.The existing paver plaza will be replaced and the
landscaped areas will be enhanced.
The scope of work under this ITB consists of construction and remediation of the South Pointe Park Water
Feature and Plaza to include all materials, labor,and equipment to successfully perform and schedule the
work, as per contract documents.The Work includes, but is not limited to, the following: Replacement of
water features,repurposing of water cannons,reuse and replacement'of electrical,mechanical and plumbing
systems, replacement and enhancement of landscaping, replacement of paver plaza with new surface
materials, lighting, new fire truck access route, replacement of signage,furniture, irrigation system,storm
drainage system and all necessary structural,electrical and mechanical infrastructure as approved by all the
