KEY INTENDED OUTCOME SUPPORTED
Ensure Comprehensive Mobility Addressing All Modes Throughout The City/Enhance
Pedestrian Safety Universally.
FUNDING
The cost of the related services for preparation of environmental analyses for Miami Beach
transit projects, to be determined on a project by project basis, are subject to funds previously
appropriated through the City's budgeting process, with the specifics to be set forth through
separately negotiated consultant work orders for each project.
BACKGROUND
There are several initiatives underway that will require environmental review services for
Transportation projects
South Beach Portion of the Beach Transit Connection Project
In October 2013, pursuant to requests from the cities of Miami Beach and Miami, the Miami-
Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) commenced a planning-level study that
refreshed and updated the decade-old Baylink study in partnership with Miami-Dade Transit
(MDT), Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), and the cities of Miami Beach and
Miami (entitled the Beach Corridor Transit Connection Study).
The MPO study was completed in June 2015 and reaffirmed the MacArthur Causeway as the
preferred alignment to connect Miami Beach and Miami. The study recommended an off-wire
or "wireless" light rail transit/modern streetcar system for the portion within each urban area as
the preferred vehicle technology for propulsion - a more context-sensitive and community-
friendly solution for our city than elevated heavy rail or light rail cantenary ("wired") systems-

Environmental Analysis For Miami Beach Transit Projects Including The Beach Corridor Transit Connection Project
And Related Services, Pursuant To Request For Qualifications(RFQ) No.2015-213-KB
October 14th,2015

as well as the use of exclusive lanes for the transit vehicles in order to provide reliable service.
Phase 1 of the recommended route alignment within Miami Beach consists initially of the
MacArthur Causeway, 5th Street, and Washington Avenue in order to provide a direct
connection to the Miami Beach Convention Center. This initial route alignment is referred to
as the Direct Connect, with additional phases recommended for the future.
At the April 29, 2015 Commission meeting, the City Commission adopted a Resolution
expressing support for expediting the South Beach Component of the Beach Corridor Transit
Connection Project which proposes light rail transit/modern streetcar connectivity between the
cities of Miami Beach and Miami. Further, the Resolution directed the Administration to work
with the local transportation partners to expedite the South Beach Component and authorized
the Administration to procure any environmental studies required to advance the South Beach
component.
At the MPO Policy Executive Committee (PEC) meeting on May 4, 2015, the Committee
passed a Resolution approving policy directives as to how to proceed with the Baylink Project
connecting Miami and Miami Beach. Pursuant to that Resolution, in an effort to expedite at
least portions of the Baylink project, the cities of Miami and Miami Beach may, in a manner
consistent with State law, proceed with their own environmental analysis. The PEC met again
on November 30, 2015 to discuss FDOT's recommendations regarding approaches to
expedite the entire project (Downtown-MacArthur Causeway- Convention Center) and allowing
each City to move forward with their portion of the project to the extent that it does not
jeopardize funding for the overall project. The FDOT proposed approach, approved by the
Federal Transit Administration (FTA), consists of an expedited approach that defines the limits
of the regional transit connectivity project to be from the Miami Beach Convention Center to
Government Center in Downtown Miami. This approach would expedite the project
development phase within a 24-month timeframe and provide the opportunity for Federal
funding up to 50 percent of the project, as well as 50% State funding for any portion not
covered by Federal funding. In addition, this approach would also provide for financing under
the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program which provides
Federal credit assistance in the form of direct loans, in the event that Federal funding is not
available in a timely manner.
FTA and FDOT have advised that any environmental and engineering studies completed for
the Miami Beach portion of the overall regional connectivity project completed in parallel to
FDOT procurement of a Consultant for the entire project would then be provided to FDOT to
expedite completing the state's unifying project development document in compliance with
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) standards.
Short Term Enhanced Bus Project
In order to expedite enhanced transit services in South Beach in the short term, the City has
been evaluating opportunities to initiate exclusive lane/prioritized bus service along the Direct
Connect route described above until the light rail/modern streetcar project is implemented.
This type of service will also require environmental reviews, albeit at a much more simplistic
level.
The City has also began discussions for premium service (perhaps on-shoulders) on the Julia
Tuttle Causeway which would also require some type of environmental review.

Transportation Master Plan
As part of the Transportation Master Plan, the City Commission adopted a Resolution in July,
2015 prioritizing pedestrians, bicycles, and transit over private vehicles. In support of this
modal prioritization, the draft Transportation Master Plan includes many initiatives in support of
transit that will require environmental reviews and evaluation of proposals.
PROCUREMENT PROCESS
On July 8, 2015, the City Commission approved to issue the Request for Qualifications (RFQ)
No. 2015-213-KB for the preparation of environmental analysis for Miami Beach transit
projects including the Beach Corridor Transit Connection Project and related services. On
July 10, 2015, the RFQ was. issued. A voluntary pre-proposal conference to provide
information to the proposers submitting a response was held on August 19, 2015. RFQ
responses were due and received on September 11, 2015. The City received a total of four (4)
proposals. The City received proposals from the following firms: Kimley-Horn & Associates,
Inc., Parsons Brinckerhoff, Inc., HNTB Corporation, and Atkins North America, Inc.
After reviewing all the submissions and the results of the evaluation process, the City Manager
recommended that the Mayor and City Commission authorize the Administration to enter into
negotiations with the top ranked proposer, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn).
Should negotiations fail, the City Manager recommended that the Administration be authorized
to enter into negotiations with the second ranked proposer, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Inc.
(Parsons). Should negotiations fail with the second ranked proposer, the City Manager
recommended that the Administration be authorized to enter into negotiations with the third
ranked proposer, HNTB Corporation (HNTB).
At the October 14, 2015 Commission meeting, the Manager was directed by the City
Commission to negotiate with the top,two proposers (Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. and.
Parsons Brinckerhoff, Inc.), however, subsequent to the October 14, 2015 Commission
meeting, on November 2, 2015, the City's Procurement Director received notification from
Parsons Brinckerhoff, Inc. that stated the following:
"We are standing down from negotiations and are working in good faith within the
procurement process to accept a role under a single contract arrangement."
Given the withdrawal of Parsons from negotiations, the Administration, in consultation with the
City Attorney, advised Parsons that, if withdrawn from negotiations, any role that they would
perform for the engagement would need to be in a-sub-consultant role directed negotiated
between Kimley-Horn and Parsons without the City's involvement.
The services to be provided shall support the City staff in all aspects of advancing and
implementing the "Preparation of Environmental Analysis for Miami Beach Transit Projects,
including the Beach Corridor Transit Connection Project and Related Services." The specifics
of the work items associated with these services have not been finalized at this time. Some of
the services associated with this program could include, but are not limited to, planning;
visioning; data collection and analyses; environmental analyses and permitting; stakeholder
coordination and public engagement; reporting to the City, State, and Federal agencies as
required; design and engineering; procurement support and other activities as necessary.
