THE NEIGHBORHOOD/COMMUNITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE AT ITS
MARCH 17, 2017 MEETING AND APPROVING THE TEMPORARY
RELOCATION OF THE PLAYGROUND AT MAURICE GIBB MEMORIAL
PARK TO BELLE ISLE PARK, WITH ALL COSTS OF THE
PLAYGROUND RELOCATION BEING FUNDED FROM THE CURRENT
MAURICE GIBB MEMORIAL PARK PROJECT BUDGET.
WHEREAS, Maurice Gibb Memorial Park ("Park") is facing a temporary closure during
its soil remediation project and the reconstruction of the Park; and
WHEREAS, the estimated Park closure could be as long as 18 months and should
begin in 2017; and
WHEREAS, Maurice Gibb Memorial Park presently serves residents from Belle Isle,
Sunset Harbor, Sunset Islands, Venetian Islands, and residents and visitors to the Sunset
Harbor area. The playground at Maurice Gibb features play structures for children aged 2-5
years old and 5-12 years old, spring riders, an arch climber, and swings. Belle Isle Park is less
than a half a mile away from Maurice Gibb Memorial Park and does not have a children's
playground. The next nearest park with a playground structure is Flamingo Park; and
WHEREAS, at the November 18, 2016 Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee
("NCAC") meeting, the Committee directed staff to bring back different playground options and
pricing. Following the direction, the Parks and Recreation Department coordinated with different
vendors to provide options which were presented at the December 13, 2016 Belle Isle Park
Playground Community Charrette. The community members that attended the Charrette
narrowed down the suggested proposals to two playground designs; and
WHEREAS, while working with the potential playground vendors on more concrete
designs to share with the community, it was discovered that due to the restrictive spaces
identified and potential underground conflicts, a site survey had to be conducted which resulted
in a delay for the submittal of final design options. On March 8, 2017, the Parks and Recreation
Department held another charrette with the Belle Isle Park community and presented the two
final design options; and
WHEREAS, after discussion and voting, the Belle Isle Park community selected the
playground design by Kompan, Inc. The playground will be located on the northeast side of
Belle Isle Park and will include 5 different types of playground equipment with shade sails as set
forth in the attached Exhibit A. The playground will be surrounded by a black picket fence and
engineered mulch will cover the surface area of the playground. Several benches and trash
receptacles will also be installed; and
WHEREAS, the estimated cost for playground equipment, shade sails, engineered
drawings, freight, and installation is $156,490.90 and the estimated cost for fencing, engineered
mulch, benches, trash bins, sod, irrigation reconfiguration, and permitting is $66,000 for an
estimated grand total of project costs of $222,490.90 (rounded up to $225,000). Upon City
Commission approval, the Parks and Recreation Department will begin to procure these
services and work to have the playground opened by the time the Maurice Gibb Memorial Park
playground closes for redevelopment; and
WHEREAS, at the March 17, 2017 NCAC meeting, the Committee recommended
approval of the temporary relocation of the Maurice Gibb Memorial Park playground to Belle Isle
Park, including approval of all cost items for the project estimated at $225,000, with funding
from the current Maurice Gibb Memorial Park Project Budget.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission hereby accept the recommendation of the Neighborhood/Community Affairs
Committee at its March 17, 2017 meeting and approve the temporary relocation of the
playground at Maurice Gibb Memorial Park to Belle Isle Park, with all costs of the playground
relocation being funded from the current Maurice Gibb Memorial Park Project Budget.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 26th day of April, 2017.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: April 26, 2017
SUBJECT:A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF
THE NEIGHBORHOOD/COMMUNITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE AT ITS
MARCH 17, 2017 MEETING AND APPROVING THE TEMPORARY
RELOCATION OF THE PLAYGROUND AT MAURICE GIBB MEMORIAL
PARK TO BELLE ISLE PARK, WITH ALL COSTS OF THE PLAYGROUND
RELOCATION BEING FUNDED FROM THE CURRENT MAURICE GIBB
MEMORIAL PARK PROJECT BUDGET.
RECOMMENDATION
City Commission vote to accept the recommendation of the Neighborhood/Community Affairs
Committee at its March 17, 2017 meeting approving the temporary relocation of the playground at
Maurice Gibb Memorial Park to Belle Isle Park, with all costs of the playground relocation being
funded from the current Maurice Gibb Memorial Park Project Budget.
ANALYSIS
Maurice Gibb Memorial Park is facing a temporary closure during the soil remediation project
and reconstruction of the park. The exact timeline is still being worked out, but the estimated
closure could be as long as 18 months and should begin this calendar year.
Maurice Gibb Memorial Park presently serves residents from Belle Isle, Sunset Harbor, Sunset
Islands, Venetian Islands and residents and visitors seeking the Sunset Harbor area as a
destination. The playground at Maurice Gibb features a play structure for children aged 2-5
years old and 5-12 years old, spring riders, an arch climber and swings. Belle Isle Park is less
than a half a mile away, but is without a children's playground. The nearest park with a
playground structure is Flamingo Park.
At the November 18, 2016 Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee meeting, the
committee directed staff to bring back different playground options and pricing. Following the
direction, the Parks and Recreation Department coordinated with different vendors to provide
options which were presented at the Tuesday, December 13, 2016 Belle Isle Park Playground
Community Charrette. The community members that attended narrowed down the playground
designs to two vendors.

While working with the potential playground vendors on more concrete designs to share with the
community, it was discovered that due to the restrictive spaces identified and potential
underground conflicts, a site survey had to be conducted which resulted in a delay for the
submittal of final design options. On Wednesday, March 8, 2017, the Parks and Recreation
Department held another charrette with the Belle Isle Park community and presented the two
final design options.
After discussion and voting, the Belle Isle Park community selected the playground design by
Kompan. The playground will be located on the northeast side of the park and will include five
different types of playground equipment with shade structures (Exhibit A). The playground will
be surrounded by a black picket fence and engineered mulch will cover the surface area of the
playground. Several benches and trash receptacles will also be installed.
The estimated cost for playground equipment, shade sails, engineered drawings, freight and
installation is $156,490.90 and the estimated cost for fencing, engineered mulch, benches,
trash bins, sod, irrigation reconfiguration and permitting is $66,000. This brings the estimated
grand total of project costs to $222,490.90 (rounded up to $225,000). If the funds are granted,
the Parks and Recreation Department will begin to procure these services and work to have the
playground opened by the time the Maurice Gibb Memorial Park playground closes for
redevelopment.
At the March 17, 2017 Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) meeting, the
Committee approved the temporary relocation of the playground at Maurice Gibb Memorial
Park to Belle Isle Park, including a new shade structure, utilizing funds from the current Maurice
Gibb Memorial Park Project Budget.
