BACKGROUND:
The South Pointe Neighborhood Right of Way Improvement Project is an approximately
$28 million project to undertake comprehensive streetscape and infrastructure
improvements in the area of Miami Beach south of Fifth Street. The Project is based on
the South Pointe Master Plan completed by Kimley-Horn and Associates which
incorporated design guidelines and principles outlined in an earlier comprehensive
streetscape and urban design study prepared by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co. The Master
Plan, which was endorsed by the South Pointe Advisory Board and the City Commission in
May 1999, called for improvements to be undertaken in five phases.

Kimley Horn and Associates went on to prepare the construction documents for Phase I of
the Project which included drainage and water and sewer improvements along with
comprehensive streetscape improvements including new lighting, street trees, landscaping
and irrigation, decorative paver crosswalks and street furniture. Phase I covered
Washington Avenue from Fifth Street to South Pointe and 3rd Streetfrom Michigan Avenue
to Ocean Drive. Also included in this Phase was a new entrance to South Pointe Park, an
interactive fountain at the southern terminus of Washington Avenue, and a plaza at the
intersection of Third Street and Washington Avenue. Construction of Phase I
improvements is currently scheduled for completion in October 2002.
In accordance with the recommended improvements schedule presented in the Master
Plan, Phase II improvements are now being initiated. The design scope includes roadway,
drainage, landscaping, streetscape, irrigation, water and sewer, electrical, and street
lighting improvements with estimated construction funding of $5.5 million. The original
contract with Kimley Horn and Associates for production of the South Pointe Master Plan
allowed for subsequent contract Amendments to complete construction design for
additional Phases. The City chose not to follow this process for Phase II design but to
instead issue a new RFQ.
Upon completion of Phase II of the Project, three additional Phases are scheduled for
implementation. They will all consist of comprehensive drainage, water and sewer, and
streetscape improvements and will include the following areas: Phase 111- 4th Street east of
Washington Avenue, 2nd Street, 1 st Street, Jefferson Avenue south of 1 st Street, Commerce
Street, South Pointe Court, and Commerce Court; Phase IV - Collins Avenue and Ocean
Drive, and Collins Court and Ocean Court south of Fifth Street; and Phase V - Alton Road
south of 5th Street and South Pointe Drive. Upon completion of all five Phases, every
street and all drainage and water and sewer systems south of Fifth Street will have been
rebuilt.
SCOPE OF SERVICES:
The proposed Agreement with Wolfberg Alvarez includes a detailed Scope of Services
based on the following general Tasks.
Plannina Phase: The purpose of this Task is to establish a consensus design concept
that meets the needs of the community and stays within established schedule and cost
parameters. Two Community Design Workshops will be held to encourage input from
affected residents and verify and validate previously developed concepts and priorities.
Based on the results of the Community Design Workshops, a draft Basis of Design Report
(BODR) will be developed for review by all relevant City staff and City Boards and
Committees. A final Basis of Design Report summarizing the accepted design concept,
budget level cost estimate and implementation schedule will then be prepared and
submitted to the City Commission for approval. Upon adoption of the BODR by the City
Commission, the construction design phase of the Project will proceed.
