ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the resolution. ANALYSIS In November 1995, the City of Miami Beach, the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency and the Portofino Group entered into a Development Agreement that was terminated in June 1997. In October 1998, the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement that transferred the deed to SSDl-North (which was held in escrow) to West Side Partners, Limited and sets forth the obligations of the parties with respect to the Development of SSDl-North and SSDl-South parcels. As part of the Settlement Agreement between the City of Miami Beach, the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency and West Side Partners, Limited, it was contemplated that West Side Partners would develop the SSDI-North parcel in two stages. The developer, The Related Companies (TRG), has purchased the property from West Side Partners, Limited and provided notice that it intended to develop the SSDI-North parcel. Construction on said parcel was initiated in September 2001. Construction on SSDI-North consists of two high rise residential towers and related amenities as approved and reflected in the concept plan, modified by Resolution No. 2001-24349 adopted by the City Commission on April 18, 2001. Construction on Murano Grande, the project located along the southerly portion of SSDI-North, was initiated in September 2001. The Settlement Agreement requires that only one project be completed at a time and that the first SSDI-North project and its required parking spaces be March 19, 2003 Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency SSDI-North Appropriations Page 2 completed prior to initiating the second project. In connection with this construction commencement, several construction activities must occur on the northerly portion of SSDI-North and adjacent properties to support the proposed Murano Grande and ICON projects. On June 27, 2001, July 18, 2001, on January 9, 2002, and on July 10, 2002 the RDA appropriated approximately $6,074,910 for its various obligations as identified in the Settlement / Lease Agreements. Exhibit ^ identifies the original cost estimated for the City's obligation in 1995 and the costs incurred to date. Construction Scope and Estimated Costs Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, TRG is to coordinate and construct the City's construction obligations, such as, contaminated soil remediation, utility relocations, seawall repairs / construction, Alton J~oad staging areas and temporary parking areas. TRG has retained the services of various professionals to design, permit and construct the numerous improvements. Detail design efforts for certain project elements are approximately 95 percent complete. In an effort to obtain budget level cost estimates for the various improvements, TRG requested its Contractor, KVC Constructors, Inc. (KVC), to obtain bids for certain sub-trades with specialties in certain areas of work. The estimates presented herein include the costs and certain allowances to perform the scope of work and its ancillary items. It is noted that permitting requirements as well as existing site conditions may alter the character of the work to be implemented, thereby increasing / decreasing the associated construction costs. It is anticipated that upon completion of the detail design efforts, the following procedure will be utilized to develop final construction costs: · Performance of a constructability review by a third party, Hazen and Sawyer · Submittal of the plans to a minimum of three qualified contractors for each sub-trade or project element · The lowest, qualified bidder(s) (as determined by the City / RDA and TRG) will be retained to perform the work Hazen and Sawyer shall serve, as the City's coordinator with respect to the City's obligations. TRG / KVC will provide Agreements prior to their execution for the City's review and comment, as well as provide the actual bids obtained from each contractor(s). Hazen and Sawyer and City staff shall review bids obtained by TRG as they relate to the Settlement Agreement construction. Progress payment requisitions prepared by KVC to TRG will be reviewed by Hazen and Sawyer and recommended for payments to the City / RDA. The estimates presented herein are for appropriation purposes only and are not intended to be final construction cost estimates. March 19, 2003 Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency SSDI-North Appropriations Page 3 The City / RDA has certain financial obligations pursuant to the Settlement Agreement for the construction activities. A description of each construction activity is presented herein. The City / RDA's obligations in connection with SSDI-North are as follows: Table 1 Appropriation Description Summary Previous Total City / RDA City / RDA Work Item Description Appropriation Estimated Obligation Cost Costs SSDI-North Seawall Repair Yes SSDI-North Embayment Fill-in No SSDI-North Pier A North 40 No Construction Staging Costs No Storm Water Utility Relocation Yes Totals $338,000 100% $338,000 $240,700 100% $240,700 $140,000 100% $140,000 $180,000 33% $60,000 $379,250 100% $379,250 $1,277,950 $1,157,950 (A) SSDI-North Seawall Repair As part of the Settlement Agreement, the parties entered into a Grant of Baywalk Easement that grants the City a permanent and irrevocable non-exclusive easement along the Baywalk. The City is obligated, at its sole cost and expense, to restore, maintain, repair and, as required, replace the bulkheads and seawall, in a first class condition. Approximately 790 linear feet of deteriorated seawall exists along the SSDI-North property. The deteriorated seawall from just north of the existing Pier E to Pier A must be repaired / rehabilitated per the Settlement Agreement. TRG prepared three (3) alternative designs for the repair of the seawall. More than one seawall repair section will be utilized in the performance of the work to add ress field requirements. During the previous summer 2002, the implemented alternative comprised a retaining wall anchored to the root of the existing steel sheet pile wall system. Preliminary budget estimates for the previously implemented seawall repair section have been obtained for the future summer 2003 seawall work. The seawall subcontractor has recently provided revised budget estimates for the implementation of new sheet piling and has determined that the cost to implement the new steel sheet piling is more cost effective than the implemented repair section. Therefore, It is anticipated that new steel sheet piling will be installed along the remaining work limits during summer 2003 and this work can be performed almost entirely from an upland location thereby reducing costs. At the request of the Marina operator, the City and TRG entered into a Second Supplemental agreement to construct the SSDI - North seawall repairs. This Agreement March 19, 2003 Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency SSDI-North Appropriations Page 4 identifies a timeframe during the summer of calendar years 2002, 2003 and 2004 to perform the seawall construction work. One of the conditions required by the City and accepted by TRG and the Marina operator, was the waiver of all previous and future claims against the City. The seawall repair schedule was divided into two phases to correlate with the Second Supplemental Agreement. Phase I consisted of the work between Piers A and B, Piers D to E and the installation of new steel sheeting along the face of the two embayments between Piers B and C. This Phase I work was completed during the period of August to October 2002. Phase II work will consist of the repairs between Piers D and B and will be completed during the period of August to October 2003. Should any of this work not be completed during this period, the remaining work will have to be completed during the summer 2004. It is important to note that the permits for this work are required from the United States Army Corps of Engineers, State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Miami-Dade Department of Environmental Resources Management. The following is the status of the permit applications: Table 2 SSDI - North Seawall Repair Permitting Status Permit Application Permit Issuance Permitting Entity Submittal Date Date United States Army Corps of Engineers State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection Miami-Dade Department of Environmental Resources Management June 22,2001 June 22,2001 June 22,2001 July 9, 2001 November 19, 2001 April 30, 2002 On July 18, 2001, the City / RDA appropriated budgetary funds for portions of this work. Since the appropriation of July 18, 2001, additional requirements have been identified that were not previously identified in the budget presented to the City / RDA. They are as follows: During the permitting effort, the Miami-Dade Department of Environmental Resources (M-DDERM) identified the requirement to perform a coral survey. Corals were identified to be present along the existing seawall and required that a coral relocation plan be submitted. Once approved, the corals were relocated and quarterly monitoring reports were required to monitor the sustainability of the relocated corals. This requirement has been addressed in subsequent planning efforts. The costs are estimated at approximately $34,500. The permitting fee allowance for the M-DDERM and the City of Miami Beach Building Department was underestimated. The required permit fee allowance must be increased by an additional $49,500. · During the prosecution of the seawall work along SSDI - South, holes were discovered March 19, 2003 Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency SSDI-North Appropriations Page 5 along the face of the sheet piling below the proposed concrete cap section. The design modifications implemented along the SSDI - South were incorporated into the proposed repair section for the SSDI - North sections to accommodate the anticipated conditions of the sheeting. This work requires the placement of shallow steel sheeting on the landward side of the seawall to form and pour the area behind the existing seawall to encapsulate the anticipated holes in the existing steel sheets below the bottom of the proposed repair section. This repair was previously performed along the SSDI-South seawall and was utilized along SSDI-North, Piers A to B and D to E. This work was implemented during summer 2002. Additional costs associated with the revised design section represent an additional $254,000. The total additional appropriation for this work approximates $338,000. The limits of the seawall repair are identified in Exhibit B, Area VII. A. (B) SSDI-North Embayment Fill-In The Settlement Agreement required the parties to enter into a Grant of Baywalk Easement that grants the City a permanent and irrevocable non-exclusive easement along the Baywalk. The City is obligated, at its sole cost and expense, to restore, maintain, repair and, as required, replace the bulkheads and seawall, in a first class condition. The existing seawall within the SSDI-North area consists of two embayment areas that must be backfilled to allow for the construction of the Baywalk (located between Piers B and C). Construction activities include the installation of approximately 60 linear feet of new steel sheet piles in conjunction with a tie rod / dead man system to structurally support the sheet piles along the front of the embayments. Construction activities also include the implementation of the recommended seawall repair section along approximately 103 linear feet of deteriorated seawall to complete the repairs to the seawall north of Pier E and backfilling of the existing embayment area to support future Baywalk construction by others. The responsibility to construct the Baywalk in this vicinity lies with the developer, TRG. The City has the ongoing obligation to maintain and restore the Baywalk. The City/ RDA has separately entered into a Baywalk maintenance and operating agreement as a result of the City's Fourth Amendment to the Marina lease agreement with the Marina Lessee. Permitting activities have been summarized in the previous Table 2. This work was partially completed during the August to October 2002 timeframe. The balance of the work will be completed during the period of August through October 2003. Total expenditures associated with this item are approximated at $240,700 and its location is identified in Exhibit B, Area VII. A. (C) SSDI-North Seawall North of Pier A The Grant of Baywalk Easement granted the City a permanent and irrevocable non- exclusive easement along the Baywalk. The City is obligated, at its sole cost and expense, to restore, maintain, repair and, as required, replace the bulkheads and seawall, in a first class condition. Approximately 125 linear feet of the seawall north of Pier A must be March 19, 2003 Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency SSDI-NorIh Appropriations Page 6 rehabilitated. This represents the northern boundary of the SSDI North property. This portion of the work was not previously appropriated in fiscal years 2000 / 2001. This work requires that the tenants of the Junior's Building be relocated to the first floor office space located in the Murano Grande. This is anticipated to occur during the March / April 2003 timeframe to coincide with the temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) for the Murano Grande garage / south tower. Upon obtaining the TCO, TRG will temporarily relocate the Junior's Building tenants to the office space located in the Murano Grande garage / south tower. This will allow TRG to remove the Junior's Building structure, thereby providing access to the seawall north of Pier A. The Baywalk will be constructed by TRG prior to ICON project completion. Work will be performed during the period of March through August 2003. Permitting status is as referenced in the previous table 2. The limits of the SSDI-North seawall north of Pier A are identified in Exhibit B, Area VII. A. Costs are anticipated to approximate $140,000. (D) Construction Sta.qinR Costs A Staging Area License Agreement was approved and entered into on May 24, 1999 as part of the Settlement Agreement between the City of Miami Beach, the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency and West Side Partners, LTD. The Staging Area License Agreement requires the City to grant West Side Partners a license to close off the contiguous sidewalk and the westernmost lane of Alton Road to support construction activities. The limits of the Staging Area License include that area contiguous to the SSDI- North construction parcel as illustrated in Exhibit B Area II. The construction staging area may consist of the following: · Closure of the westernmost lane of Alton Road · Closure of the sidewalk along the west Alton Road right-of-way · Removal of the existing median along the centerline of Alton Road · Roadway base construction and pavement to provide for two lanes of traffic in each direction · Temporary street lighting The construction staging area will extend to the south limits of the Fifth Street right-of-way and will be utilized by KVC and its subcontractors to stage, store and construct the improvements required within the northerly portion of SSDl-North. The City is to bear one- third of the costs associated with the construction of these temporary improvements. West Side Partners and the Marina Lessee will pay the remaining two-thirds of the costs. The estimated budget to realign Alton Road to accommodate the Murano Grande Phase 2 and 3 construction staging areas is approximately $180,000, of which the City / RDA is March 19, 2003 Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency SSDI-Notth Approprfations Page 7 responsible for one-third, or $60,000. The City is also obligated to share in the costs associated with the restoration of Alton Road to comply with the South Pointe Streetscape Master Plan design section. The City's obligation is one-third of the costs. The City's obligation to restore Alton Road to comply with the South Pointe Streetscape Master Plan will be provided and appropriated at a future date. (E) Storm Sewer Relocation As part of the Settlement Agreement, the parties entered into a Grant of Baywalk Easement that grants the City a permanent and irrevocable non-exclusive easement along the Baywalk. The Grant of Baywalk Easement also obligates the City / RDA to fund the costs and expenses associated with the physical relocation of the utilities within the SSDI- North property. This project component consists of the relocation of the existing FDOT Storm Drainage 54" diameter pipe. This pipe provides for the disposal of collected storm water runoff from the Fifth Street right-of-way and a portion of the Alton Road right-of-way between Fifth and Third Streets. This pipe is located underneath the proposed ICON property and must be relocated around the proposed structure footprint so that the pipe may be maintained by the FDOT and to allow for the construction of the ICON project. The South Pointe Streetscape Master Plan identified the need for a future 24-inch diameter outfall during the implementation of Phase 5. The location of the outfall was not identified and it was determined that due to the development of the SSDI-South and North properties, the identification of a corridor for a future outfall would become very difficult, if not impossible, in the future. Therefore, it was determined that additional engineering analyses was required to identify the additional volume of storm water runoff to be disposed of via the proposed outfall. The evaluation determined thatthe proposed 72-inch diameter outfall had sufficient hydraulic capacity to accommodate a portion of the South Pointe Phase 5 drainage element. Due to the additional relocated outfall length and additional proposed flow volumes, the pipe diameter must be increased from its existing size to a 72-inch diameter pipe to overcome the additional frictional / minor losses associated with the new alignment. The work consists of furnishing and installing approximately 365 linear feet of 72" diameter pipe. The installation will require alignment changes and will be facilitated with the construction of three (3) below grade structures at the alignment changes. Construction of the new pipe will require that the existing 54-inch diameter pipe be maintained in service so that the Fifth Street and Alton Road drainage systems continue with their intended service. Site conditions are complicated due to the presence of the high water table, elevated levels of contamination and the proximity of existing utilities to the proposed alignment. The elevated levels of Arsenic in the groundwater pose a concern to the project team since any waters removed during the excavation effort cannot be discharged directly to Biscayne Bay without being treated. Various options were considered such as treating the dewatering effluent prior to its discharge to Biscayne Bay, discharging the dewatering effluent via recharge galleries on - site, discharge to the sanitary sewer system or to install the pipe and its appurtenances with industrial divers. The contract documents were structured to require installation with no trench dewatering, therefore the 72-inch diameter pipe will be March 19, 2003 Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency SSDI-Not~h Appropriations Page 8 installed in a wet trench. This project component was previously appropriated based upon budgetary estimates prepared by TRG / KVC. Ten contractors were requested to provide budgetary estimates for the City's consideration. Of the ten contractors contacted, four proposals were provided to TRG / KVC. A review of the proposals and a more thorough understanding of the project have resulted in a net increase of $379,250 (project scope modifications have also resulted in price decreases and the net increase reflects the additional costs required to complete this project) and are itemized below: Additional professional services were required since the original budget appropriation did not include professional services for the design, permitting and construction management services. Services to address drawing revisions to accommodate underground utility relocations, staging area requirements, hydraulic analyses to accommodate future South Pointe drainage and construction administration services are required. Additional professional services for this effort approximate $73,500. During the detail design phase, additional underground utility verification services were authorized to identify the location and depth of certain utilities. This investigative effort verified the location and depth of the City's two (2) 20-inch diameter water mains parallel to the Fifth Street corridor and adjacent to the project area. The additional cost associated with the utility verification effort approximated $2,300. On March 15, 2002, TRG received an engineering report from its consultant entitled Evaluation of Arsenic Concentrations in Soil, Murano Phases 2 and 3, prepared by Universal Engineering Sciences. This report identified the presence of elevated levels of arsenic at the project site. It is estimated that approximately 1,200 cubic yards of contaminated soils would have to be characterized, stockpiled, loaded, transported and disposed of at a landfill. The costs associated with this item approximate $117,000 (approx. 1,560 tons) and do not include any efforts to remediate the environmental conditionsof the site. · Soil characterization and analyses of the excavated soils will be required during construction to characterize the level of contamination in an effort to determine whether the material can be disposed of at a landfill or is suitable for use as backfill at an off-site location. Soil characterization and analyses expenses approximate $7,100. · An increase in the allowance for permit fees is requested in the amount of $14,200. This line item is an allowance to be authorized at a later date. During the detail design effort, it was determined that underground telecommunications equipment owned by BellSouth and MCI were located in the alignment of the proposed 72-inch diameter pipe relocation corridor. Construction of the 72-inch diameter pipe will require that BellSouth and MCI facilities be relocated to accommodate the proposed construction. BellSouth facilities are active fiber optic March 19, 2003 Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency SSDI-North Appropriations Page 9 lines and have to be relocated prior to the installation of the 72-inch diameter pipe work being performed. This work was valued at $44,400 and was performed by BellSouth directly. MCI's facilities also require relocation, although MCI's facilities are not in service and consist of an empty manhole and conduit. At the completion of the 72-inch diameter pipe installation, MCI's facilities will be relocated and made available for service as previously intended. The value of MCI relocation work is estimated at $50,000. New seawall Repair and outfall section is required since the existing outfall section cannot be utilized. Additional costs associated with this item are $102,000. The limits of the storm water relocation are identified in Exhibit B, Area VI. C. SUMMARY In summary, an appropriation is requested for the additional costs / expenses identified during the course of the work, as follows: Table 3 Summary of Appropriation Request Item Description Appropriation Amount Items to be Appropriated SSDI-North Seawall Repair SSDI-North Embayment Fill-in SSDI-North Pier A North 40 Construction Staging Costs Storm Water Utility Relocation Sub-total Appropriation Request $338,000 $240,7OO $140,000 $60,000 $379,250 $1,15~950 Savings from Previous Appropriations Replacement Parking on Portofino Parcels SSDI North Electrical Utility Relocation Environmental Indemnity - Sheet Pile Cut Off Wall Environmental Indemnity - Appropriation of 100% of the cost when City/RDA's obligation was only 50% Total Savings from Previous Appropriations ($10,983.03) ($21,852.50) ($66,129.00) ($171,696.00) ($270, 660. 53) Total Appropriation Requested $887,290 March 19, 2003 Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency $$DI-Nor~h Approp#ations Page 10 RECOMMENDATIONS The Administration recommends appropriating $887,290 from the South Pointe Tax Increment Funds in accordance with the Settlement Agreement amongst the City of Miami Beach, the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency and West Side partners, Limited and in accordance with the surviving provisions of the 1995 Development Agreement and in accordance with the provisions of the Grant of Baywalk Easement.
