ANALYSIS
The City's current agreements for general transportation planning and traffic engineering consulting
services had an initial term commencing on October 11, 2012 through October 10, 2016, with a
provision allowing the term could be extended for an additional two (2) years through October 10,
2018. At this time, the Transportation Department is seeking to replace the existing contracts to
pursue proposals from firms that can provide transit planning and implementation of transit projects
that require the coordination of land use decisions, which include the focusing of mixed-use
development into key locations throughout the region and the promotion of transit, pedestrian, bicycle
and auto accessibility. Given that the scope of future assignments is unknown at this time, it is
important to create a robust pool to expedite future needs.
Therefore, the City of Miami Beach seeks to contract with a pool of qualified consultants to provide
Page 200 of 1633
professional services transportation planning and related services on an "as needed basis." The
Consultants shall provide subject matter expertise to the City of Miami Beach specializing in planning
for transportation and related projects. Suggested specializations include, but are not limited to:
general transportation planning, smart growth, livable cities, complete streets, integration of
transportation and urban design, economic and financial analysis, transit planning, bicycle and
pedestrian planning, station area planning, and traffic engineering.

was issued. A voluntary pre-proposal conference to provide information to proposers submitting a
response was held on May 9, 2017. RFQ responses were due and received on June 14, 2017. The

Department, City of Miami Beach; Lynda Westin, Transportation Manager, Transportation

the project, information relative to the City's Cone of Silence Ordinance and the Government

CONCLUSION
The Miami Beach Transportation Master Plan, adopted in April of 2016, identified 102 potential
projects in the next few years. The City Commission has directed Transportation staff to implement
the Transportation Master Plan as quickly as possible. Each of the 102 projects identified in the plan
will need an initial feasibility study followed by design development. This work is primarily done by
the Transportation General Planning Consultants (GPCs). Additionally, other project needs arise
from time to time. As such, staff has expressed a need for a robust pool of consultants to be able to
expeditiously address project needs.
The current pool of Transportation GPCs consists of only four (4) firms. More than four GPC firms
are needed to move projects forward quickly into project implementation, as the existing firms are at
capacity with the various ongoing projects or studies, either with the City or elsewhere. For these
reasons, the Transportation Department is recommending selection of the top eight (8) firms as
ranked by the selection committee.
After considering staffs recommendation and the results of the Evaluation Committee process, I
recommend the selection of the top eight (8)firms as ranked by the selection committee. Doubling the
number of firms will enable the Transportation Department to address project needs
more expeditiously and begin project implementation sooner. The recommended pool of eight (8)
firms contains each individual Evaluation Committee member's top four (4) highest ranked firms.
Selecting a pool larger than eight (8) firms may be too large for the anticipated work load.
Additionally, several of the firms that are not in the pool of the eight (8) recommended firms are
currently available either through the Miami Beach Architectural and Engineering (A&E) list or may
be contracted, if needed, as sub-consultants to the eight (8) GPC firms being recommended.
Therefore, after reviewing all the submissions, results of the evaluation process, and the
anticipated implementation of the Miami Beach Transportation Master Plan projects, I recommend
that the Mayor and City Commission approve the resolution authorizing the Administration to
establish a continuing pool of pre-qualified consultants for general transportation planning and traffic
engineering services, pursuant to Section 287.055, Florida Statutes, from the following firms qualified
to perform the work: HNTB corporation, as the first ranked proposer; Nelson/Nygaard Consulting
Associates, Inc., as the second ranked proposer; H.W. Lochner, Inc., as the third ranked proposer;
Gannett Fleming, Inc., as the fourth ranked proposer; Calvin, Giordano &Associates, Inc., as the fifth
ranked proposer; Kittelson &Associates, Inc., as the sixth ranked proposer; Marlin Engineering, Inc.,
as the seventh ranked proposer; Alta Planning + Design, Inc., as the eighth ranked proposer.
Further, I recommend that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute agreements, upon
conclusion of successful negotiations by the Administration, with the pre-qualified firms.
