TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: February 8, 2017
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY
MANAGER REGARDING AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR HIS
DESIGNEE TO: (1) PROVIDE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING TO THE SUNSET

RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends adopting the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
The City has a Design/Build contract agreement with Lanzo Construction Co. (Lanzo) for work
associated with the neighborhood improvements to be completed within the Sunset Harbour
Neighborhood including landscaping, lighting, water, sewer, drainage and paving, and the retrofit
of the three pump stations.
The Public Works Department has identified the need to improve the existing Pump Station
System in the event of power failure during a storm event in the neighborhood. Any occurrence
of power failure requires an immediate response from the Infrastructure (Operations) Division to
ensure that drainage system will protect the area from flooding.
Also as part of the beautification of the streets, the residents have requested to include
additional landscaping to enhance the current layout.
COST ANALYS IS
The landscaping work includes the installation of typical trees like Green Buttonwood, Silver
Buttonwood, and Bulnesia, soil, tree protection, and ancillary work. The installation of the trees
and associated landscaping work can be accomplished utilizing existing contracts that the City
Page 770 of 898
already has in place.
Caterpillar generators are preferred as this brand of generator is in service at a majority of the
City's facilities.The City has the ability to contract directly with Pantropic Power, Inc. for the
supplying and installation of Caterpillar generators. This company is the sole authorized
representative for Caterpillar in South Florida. The Public Works Department recommends
proceeding directly with Pantropic with the required emergency generator power work.
The Public Works Department has received proposals from Lanzo to perform the proposed
scope of work. However, the approach outlined above appears to be a better option to
completing the work in a timely fashion. By taking this approach, it is believed that this should
allow Lanzo to finish the work they already have under contract while the generators and trees
are waiting to be delivered. The installation can follow as soon as Lanzo vacates the work areas.
This approach should also reduce the price and eliminate any cost markups associated with
overhead and profit.
CONCLUSION
The most expeditious method to install the necessary landscaping to complete the
neighborhood and provide emergency generation of power for the pump stations in Sunset
Harbour is by contracting directly with a City landscaping contractor and the authorized
Caterpillar dealer.
The Administration recommends adopting the resolution following the recommendation of the
Public Works Department.
