The Consultant will provide subject matter expertise to the City of Miami Beach for business case study(s) requested in RFQ No. 2017-300-KB, economic analysis of the value of our risk reduction investments to address flooding and sea level rise, as as detailed in the Consultant's proposal. This analysis should explain the risk cost of inaction (in dollar terms) and the extent to which the risk cost is likely to be reduced as a result of the city's infrastructure investments (also in dollar terms). Analysis will also consider the complex relationships between the anticipated reduction in risk cost and: • our private property tax base; • flood insurance (both future FEMA models / FIRM maps and private market rates); • the availability and affordability of private property mortgages over mortgage cycles; • the city's municipal credit rating and insurance premiums; • land use issues; • any other factor that may be pertinent. The Work would not just explain these interdependent relationships and so help decision-makers. It will be an evidence-based tool to communicate the city's risk reduction investment. It will also be a tool for decision-makers which illustrates in economic terms the best case and worst case scenarios. C3. Resulting Consultant Service Orders pursuant to this agreement, the City may be awarded in the following manner C3.1. Pilot: The Pilot phase would be an analysis of a completed project or a sample neighborhood project. This would be a smaller engagement in scope with quicker results focusing on two risks: the five-year storm in combination with 2060 southeast Florida sea level rise scenarios. This would examine the risks in two-ways: without any infrastructure improvements and with the current stormwater intervention. The Pilot would analyze how the inaction and action may affect the City's property tax base, flood insurance, real estate market and financial mortgage cycles, and credit ratings. C3.2. Ongoing: This may include the analysis of additional risks and additional adaptation investments at a project or program level, that may be an expansion or continuation of the project in other areas of the City or may be a new scope altogether. The proposing teams are encouraged to present innovative decision- making tool(s). The tool(s) should be designed to facilitate a review of RFQ-2017-300-KB Page 13 engineering and science-based solutions. It should compare the solutions with the current costs. It should also compare the cost over time and the triple bottom line value (economic, environmental, social) to the City of Miami Beach in the short term (5 year), mid-term (10 to 20 year) and long term (30 + years). Approach 2 would provide the ability for the City to analyze how the inaction and action may affect the City's property tax base, flood insurance, real estate market and financial mortgage cycles, and credit ratings, land use issues, or any other factor that may be pertinent to the Work.

ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit A: Pre-Proposal Meeting Sign-in Sheet Exhibit B: Vendor Access Report III. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS BY PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS AT THE PRE-BID MEETING AND VIA EMAIL. 01: What's the budget for the work? Al: The budget has not been determined. Q2: What are the deadlines—for questions, proposals, contract, commencement, completion? A2: Deadline for questions was November 3, 2017 at 5:00pm, and the proposals due date is stated above. The contract term will be for a period of five 95) years with the option to renew at the City's sole discretion for two(2)additional two (2)year periods. 03: Please send me a list of your registered vendors. A3: Please refer to Exhibit B. 04: During the pre-submittal meeting a question was asked with regard to AECOM's ability to respond to this RFQ since they are the program manager for the City's stormwater implementation. Is AECOM able to respond to this RFQ? I ADDENDUM NO.I REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS(RFQ)No.2017-300-KB FOR BUSINESS CASE ANALYSIS OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH STORMWATER RESILIENCY PROGRAM A4: No firm will be allowed to conduct a business case analysis on its own work. Q5: We are requesting the sign in sheet from the pre-proposal meeting, including phone attendees. A5: Please refer to Exhibit A. Q6: Regarding the minimum eligibility requirements Appendix Cl. "The prime proposer shall demonstrate experience in providing consulting services in the areas of sustainability, resiliency, adaptation strategies, or risk managementimitigation to at least one (1) public sector agency." As indicated by 'or', are the minimum eligibility requirements for any one of the services listed or for ALL of the services listed? A6: The sentence states 'or for the miminum requirements. However, it is recommended that proposers provide all relevant experience to deliver a complete business case analysis as indicated in Section 0300 Submittal Requirements, Tab 2 Experience and Qualifications. Q7. What is the City's schedule for this work? A7: The scope will be developed based on the qualificiations and experience of the proposers, and the City's stormwater program and needs. The City would like a first business case analysis work product in the Spring of 2018. 08: Does the veteran-owned preference apply to subconsultants listed on the proposal? A8: The veteran-owned preference applies to the firm submitting a proposal in response to the RFQ. 09: Item 11 on page 21 of the RFP states that "Resolution 2016-29375... prohibits official City travel to the states of North Carolina and Mississippi, as well as the purchase of goods or services sourced in North Carolina and Mississippi." In order to satisfy the requirements of Resolution 2016-29375 is it sufficient that our primary project team members are staffed in states other than North Carolina and Mississippi? Or is the interpretation of Resolution 2016- 29375 that none of the project team members for the project be located in North Carolina or Mississippi? Our project team for this project will be directed, managed and staffed primarily from our Florida and Missouri offices, while our firm is headquartered and incorporated in the State of North Carolina. So we are looking for clarification on how to staff the remaining project team. A9: The referenced resolution prohibits the purchase of goods or services sourced in North Carolina and Mississippi. Therefore, the resolution prohibits the actual provision of services to be generated from locations within these states. The provision of services from locations within other states is not impacted by the resolution. 010: Are we permitted to change the Notary public signature block on Appendix A from Florida to a different state? Although we have a local presence, our contracts department is based elsewhere. A10: Yes. Q11: What modeling efforts and scenarios has the City undertaken as it relates to the Stormwater Management System currently under construction? Specifically, what modeling software was used and what SLR projections and storm events were simulated? All: The City has been using a rainfall of 7.5 inches in 24 hours for past modeling, but 2 ADDENDUM NO.1 REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS(RFQ)No.2017-300-KB FOR BUSINESS CASE ANALYSIS OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH STORMWATER RESILIENCY PROGRAM last month the City Commission approved an increase to 8.75 inches in 24 hours and the distribution used is based on the Soil Conservation Service Type Ill. The sea level use for the backwater/boundary in the Bay was set and approved by Commission about 3 years ago as a sea level of 2.7 feet NAVD elevation. If high tide levels continue to trend up as quickly as seen in the past three years, this elevation may have to be reevaluated. The model that is being used Is the ICPR model that South Florida Water Management District has used for this area. The model has to be adjusted for the use in this area with reduced peaking factors and minimum ground storage found in Miami Beach. 012: If a firm is listed as a subconsultant for a firm not selected for award by the City, is that firm eligible to be considered for the pool of pre-qualified consultants, or does the subconsultant also need to submit a separate proposal as the prime consultant? Al2: Any firm wishing to be considered for this project should submit a proposal. Q13: It was mentioned during the pre-bid meeting that firms may submit a package to be qualified for the pool of sub-consultants. What is the submittal criteria for sub-consultants if they do not have direct experience in the scope listed? A13: Any firm wishing to be considered shall submit its proposal in accordance with the Submittal requirements in Section 0300 of the RFQ. 014: For firms that are exempt from Workers' Compensation requirements under state law, will the certificate of exemption from each officer satisfy the insurance requirements for the City of Miami Beach? A14: Insurance requirements will be addressed during negotiations with the successful proposer. Any questions regarding this Addendum should be submitted in writing to the Procurement Department to the attention of the individual named below, with a copy to the City Clerk's Office at RafaelGranador@m iam ibeachfl.gov.

The Work may consider the complex relationship and impact(s) among City investments (that reduce risk to flooding and sea level rise) to the City's property tax base, flood insurance, real estate market and financial mortgage cycles, and City credit ratings, land use issues, or any other factor that may be pertinent to the Work.

Minimum Eligibility Requirements. The Minimum Eligibility Requirements for this solicitation are listed below. Proposer shall submit, with its proposal, the required submittal(s) documenting compliance with each minimum requirement. Proposers that fail to include the required submittals with its proposal or fail to comply with minimum requirements shall be deemed non-responsive and shall not have its proposal considered. 1. The prime proposer shall demonstrate experience in providing consulting services in the areas of sustainability, resiliency, adaptation strategies,or risk management/mitigation to at least one(1)public sector agency. Required Submittals: For each qualifying project,submit project name,project description,start and completion dates, project contact information(phone and email),volume of contract,and firms role. C2.Statement of Work Required. At its core, the business case study requested is an economic analysis of the value of our risk reduction investments to address flooding and sea level rise. This analysis should explain the risk cost of inaction (in dollar terms) and the extent to which the risk cost is likely to be reduced as a result of the city's infrastructure investments(also in dollar terms). This analysis will also consider the complex relationships between the anticipated reduction in risk cost and: • our private property tax base; • flood insurance(both future FEMA models/FIRM maps and private market rates); • the availability and affordability of private property mortgages over mortgage cycles; • the city's municipal credit rating and insurance premiums; • land use issues; • any other factor that may be pertinent. The Work would not just explain these interdependent relationships and so help decision-makers. It would also be an evidence-based tool to communicate the city's risk reduction investment If done right, it could be a tool for decision-makers that illustrates in economic terms the best case and worst case scenarios. C3. Task Orders. All work assigned pursuant to any agreement resulting from this RFQ will be awarded via a Task Order or Consultant Service Order approved by the City Manager. In award work,the City may award in the following manner: C3.1. Pilot:The Pilot phase would be an analysis of a completed project or a sample neighborhood project. This would be a smaller engagement in scope with quicker results focusing on two risks: the five-year storm in combination with 2060 southeast Florida sea level rise scenarios. This would examine the risks in two-ways: without any infrastructure improvements and with the current stormwater intervention. The Pilot would analyze how the inaction and action may affect the City's property tax base, flood insurance, real estate market and financial mortgage cycles, and credit ratings. RFQ 2017-300-KB 27 C3.2. Ongoing: This may include the analysis of additional risks and additional adaptation investments at a project or program level, that may be an expansion or continuation of the project in other areas of the City or may be a new scope altogether. The proposing teams are encouraged to present innovative decision-making tool(s). The tool(s) should be designed to facilitate a review of engineering and science-based solutions. It should compare the solutions with the current costs. It should also compare the cost over time and the triple bottom line value (economic, environmental, social) to the City of Miami Beach in the short term (5 year), mid-term (10 to 20 year)and long term (30 +years). Approach 2 would provide the ability for the City to analyze how the inaction and action may affect the City's property tax base, flood insurance, real estate market and financial mortgage cycles, and credit ratings, land use issues, or any other factor that may be pertinent to the Work.

Many of the improvements that have been implemented by the City have included adaptations with potentially significant mitigation effects on flooding and sea level rise.Adaptations have been in place long enough to understand their full cost,the value of the assets protected,and the resulting cost-benefit relationship.The Hazen and Sawyer (Hazen)team understands the need to fully recognize all benefits and costs of such improvements.The primary benefits are the avoided reductions in property values and the value of the City's economic output.These benefits preserve the availability and affordability of flood insurance and mortgages.Other benefits deriving from the primary benefits include avoided reductions in the property tax base and tax revenue,and preservation of the City's credit rating.We have assembled a diverse team of economists,financial experts,and adaptation engineers to investigate the specific conditions at the City of Miami Beach,based on our local and national knowledge of climate change issues.Our goal is to provide the City with robust decision-making that leads to sound investments for a resilient future. Dr.Grace Johns will serve as our Project Manager.Her 36-year career with Hazen has been spent in South Florida as the head of our Economics Group,specializing in economic and financial feasibility studies including the monetization of benefits that reflect stake- holder willingness-to-pay for projects.Studies have also focused on evaluations related Ay to flood control and stormwater management,water supply,wastewater,land use,rec.,( - reation,agriculture,and tourism,and have included contingent valuation surveys, economic impact analysis,and benefit-cost analysis.Dr.Johns brings a strong local 4444161.4 perspective along with over three decades of South Florida economics experience. Grace Johns,PhD Project Manager Our team members will draw on three reservoirs of experience and knowledge—local conditions and suitable adaptations practices;extensive direct previous experience with the City;and broad knowledge of the economics and financial implications of the proposed work.Hazen and our partners,PRMG(municipal finance);The RAND Corporation(decision-making modeling);Dr.Jeff Czajkowski with the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania(flood insurance issues);and Dr.Walter Milon(economic output)will create a fully-functional tool for the City to use when planning projects.The City will also be able to go 1.1-1 Hazen City of Miami Beach November 17 2017 back after the fact and reliably revisit the justification for resiliency expenditures and defend the decision-making process used during project development and execution.This is important to your residents,as well as to our local engineering partner,Stephanie Harari,PE,who has lived on the beach for decades. The Hazen team will provide the City with innovative decision-making tools to make informed decisions and guide the City in its infrastructure investments. Robust Sound Resilient Decision-making Investments Future dirif Our team's robust decision-making will deliver sound investments to the City for a resilient future. The Hazen team has extensive experience in the development of innovative tools to support decision-making across the government,private,and public sectors.Team member RAND is a Strategy partner with 100 Resilient Cities and pioneered Robust Decision-Making(RDM)tools and frameworks for systematically evaluating and mitigating coastal vulnerabilities to future threats and hazards.They have successfully applied RDM methodologies to a wide range of coastal communities including Southeast Florida,New Orleans,New York City,and San Francisco.As a part of the 100 Resilient Cities initiative in South Florida,RAND researchers used RDM methods to help prepare for climate change risks in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.The project utilized two USGS groundwater models to develop an integrated modeling framework for understanding and adapting water management practices under uncertain, long-term climatic and land use futures. The Hazen team has been working on similar projects in the region and is familiar with the unique challenges of South Florida.Whether considering the highly transmissive subsurface of our ground or the extremely flat topog- raphy,our team has recently worked on projects similar to those in Miami Beach,including studies for the Cities of Coral Gables,Hialeah,and Fort Lauderdale.These studies demonstrate our vast understanding of the potential climate change impacts to Southeast Florida and have resulted in our development of a database of mitigation efforts to adapt to the evolving environment.Our adaptation strategies concentrate on maintaining the high level of flood protection to our communities at a sustainable investment rate. Hazen continues to be a leader in efforts,both locally in South Florida and in vulnerable locations elsewhere in the United States,to understand and anticipate the risks to infrastructure posed by sea level rise and climate change and to recommend sustainable,cost-effective incremental adaptation strategies to help mitigate the risk.We will work with the City to provide business case analysis to provide a more resilient future for the City.

Hazen and Sawyer 2.1-9 Business Case Analysis of the City of Miami Beach Stormwater Resiliency Program • RFO No.2017-300-KB The effects of sea level rise are often observed in the day-to-day life of the residents and tourists of Miami Beach. Whether walking on flooded streets in South Beach or standing on a damp green in the Bayshore Miami Beach Golf Club,sea level rise is ubiquitous within the City.One of the starkest effects of sea level rise is a phenomenon known as Sunny Day Flooding.Due to the rising tides,flooding is exhibited at various low points throughout the city even during days when the sun is shining and the skies are clear.

One key aspect of the City's strategy is to harmonize the new construction with the adjacent areas.Below is a graphical illustration of harmonization.

RAND's Water and Climate Resilience Center(WCRC)is involved in addressing one of the most significant policy challenges of our time—changing how we plan,build,and sustain our societal and physical systems to become more resilient to the unavoidable impacts of climate change.This growing need is particularly relevant for water resources management,including freshwater supply,water quality assurance,flood risk management,agricultural and industrial use,and coastal and urban water planning.Water is a key area of concern for climate-influenced disaster risk,from which warming impacts have already been felt in recent decades. RAND's WCRC conducts policy research and develops innovative tools to support decision-makers at all levels of government,as well as diverse stakeholders from the private and philanthropic sectors,as they confront challenges presented by climate change.RAND is uniquely suited to bring together cross-disciplinary research teams to identify emerging water and climate resilience challenges,apply state-of-the-art methods to tackle problems from multiple perspectives and address uncertainty that is often ignored,and recommend solutions that are effective and enduring. The RAND Corporation and the Rockefeller Foundation formed a partnership to develop a modeling framework that can be used to estimate the net benefits of a resilience project and is designed to provide a systematic,'struc- tural"framework for assessing resilience interventions that ultimately create benefits and costs within a system, such as a community or city. 2.1-12 hazenandsawyer.aom Qualifications of Proposing Firm Cha pe NI Groundwater Level Retathe to Surface I awrae.+.rono pm: ... i". .-..,..re . , , ON EPGH a- r -' n.

Project Cost $125,000(fee) The Indian River Lagoon is an Estuary of National Significance and one of 28 national estuary programs in the U.S.The recreational and non-use value of the Indian River Lagoon would increase by at least$80 million per year if there were a significant increase in the amount and diversity of wild- life on the Lagoon and increased water quality throughout the Lagoon system.This increase reflects higher resident and visitor willingness to pay to improve the environmental quality of the Lagoon. The Indian River Lagoon is the most biologically diverse estuarine eco-sys- tem in North America with over 4,000 species of plants and animals already inventoried,and more species discovered every year.The Lagoon's unique diversity is certainly an important component contributing to the estuary's high economic value and proof that the Lagoon is worthy of our protection and continued restoration.

High-value urban zones in coastal South Florida are considered particularly vulnerable to salt water intrusion into the groundwater-based public water supply caused by sea level rise (SLR) in combination with the low topography, existing high-water table, and permeable karst substrate. Managers in the region closely regulate water depths in the extensive South Florida canal network to control closely coupled groundwater levels and thereby reduce the risk of saltwater intrusion into the karst aquifer. Potential SLR adaptation strategies developed by local managers suggest canal and groundwater levels may have to be increased over time to prevent the increased salt water intrusion risk to groundwater resources.However, higher canal and groundwater levels cause the loss of unsaturated zone storage and lead to an increased risk of inland flooding when the recharge from rainfall exceeds the capacity of the unsaturated zone to absorb it and the water table reaches the surface. Consequently,higher canal and groundwater levels are also associated with increased risk of economic losses,especially during the annual wet seasons.

Evaluating groundwater flooding vulnerabilities in South Florida This study used a novel approach for evaluating climate change vulnera- bilities and adaptations in Southeast Florida to support long-term resilience planning.This project leveraged existing groundwater models spanning Miami-Dade and Broward Counties developed by the USGS, along with projections of land use and asset valuations for Miami-Dade and Broward County planning agencies. Model simulations were executed on virtual cloud-based servers for a highly scalable and parallelized platform.Ground- water elevations and the saltwater-freshwater interface and intrusion zones from the integrated modeling framework were analyzed under a wide range of long-term climate futures,including projected sea level rise and precip- itation changes.The hydrologic hazards are then combined with current and future land use and asset valuation projections to estimate assets at risk across the range of futures.Lastly,an interactive decision support tool highlights the areas with critical climate vulnerabilities;distinguishes between vulnerability due to new development,increased climate hazards,or both; and provides guidance for adaptive management and development prac- tices and decision-making in Southeast Florida.The final report will be released in December 2017.

As discussed in the previous section,the City is in the midst of tackling and addressing a broad spectrum of chal- lenges.The best way to overcome these challenges and"future-proofs the City is with incremental adaptation over time.The basic concept of incremental adaptation is to deploy resources in the most efficient,forward-looking manner while sufficiently hardening existing assets to withstand near-term severe shocks and stresses.Incremen- tal adaptation should be an integral part of the ongoing decision-making process of the business case evaluation. Right-timed,adaptable solutions should be implemented incrementally over time. Implementation of Adaptable Solutions Right-Timed.

Our team understands that the primary focus of the REO is to engage a team that will deliver a thorough and accurate business case evaluation(BCE)of the City's Stormwater Resiliency Program and a multi-disciplinary decision-making tool that can be used on an ongoing basis.The following sections discuss the business case and triple bottom line of the City's Stormwater Resiliency Program,inclusive of economic analysis and risk management. Business Case Development A BCE of the Stormwater Resiliency Program is a formal statement of the reasons for implementing an action that considers the action's purpose,rationale,benefits,and costs and provides a conclusion regarding whether the action should be implemented.BCEs can be simple or elaborate depending on the information needed and available. The BCE will also include a triple-bottom-line analysis in which the economic,environmental,and social ben- efits and costs of an action are considered.For example,a BCE might consider,in addition to the benefits and costs of an action to the individual business,the benefits and costs of the action to other persons and businesses and to natural resources and the environment that are directly or indirectly affected by the decision. Economic Analysis Engineered solutions are available to reduce or prevent flooding well into the future.However,these options can be costly since large areas of the City may ultimately be susceptible to the effects of climate change and need to be raised and/or have additional stormwater infrastructure installed.Which options to use,where to use them,and when to install them are critical decisions that will impact the cost of flood management and the future economic vitality of Miami Beach. . Cost/Benefit Analysis(CBA)compares a project's present value of benefits to its pres- ent value of costs.A project is economically feasible or economically efficient if the A COM difference between benefits and costs is greater than zero.Projects can be ranked by Inet present value or by their benefit-to-cost ratio to identify the most economically mgrs efficient projects. The requirement that CBA be used to evaluate flood control projects was mandated by the U.S.Congress under the 1936 Flood Control Act.Since the 1950s,CBA has been used to evaluate risk reduction projects. The U.S.Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)and the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers have used CBA to evaluate their projects for over 50 years.Economic efficiency has been a very important aspect when developing disaster-related policies. Q Hazen and Sawyer 3-6 Business Case Analysis of the City of Miami Beaoh Stormwater Resiliency Program • RFD No.2017-300-KB The benefits of the City's Stormwater Resiliency Program are relative to a"no action"program and would include avoided: • Reductions in property values,resident income,and tax revenue as land uses are preserved. • Reductions in the economic value of resident and visitor well-being. • Cost of flood damage. The costs of the City's Stormwater Resiliency Program would also be relative to a"no action"program and would include: • Cost to implement the capital improvement • Cost to operate and maintain the capital improvement. • Other costs incurred by residents and businesses,if any. The dollar value of benefits and costs associated with hundreds of flooding and economic scenarios over time can be estimated for use in developing the SCEs. "No Action"Alternative-Evaluation of Economic Impacts Each action,including"no action",will have an economic impact to residents and the City.The components of economic impact are shown below. • ... VALUE INCOME PROPERTY TAX of goods and to residents and VALUES REVENUE services businesses maintenance and to the City produced within generated by the improvement the City goods and (primarily the value of services recreation,dining produced within lodging and the City entertainment ----_- -- services) Each option or alternative used to mitigate flooding will reduce or eliminate the negative economic impact expected under the"no action"alternative.Thus,it is important to develop a meaningful definition of the"no action"alternative before the economic analysis begins. Under the"no action"alternative,the chain of impact begins with: • The location,frequency,and extent of flooding(or flood conditions). • The impact of this flooding on the provision of utility services such as water,wastewater,solid waste,and electricity. • The ability of residents,visitors,and employees to access,use,and/or enjoy the properties. • Ultimately,the overall economic production potential of a given impacted location. m 3-6 hazenandsawyer.00m Approach and Methodology 0 Complex Relationships between Land Use, Property Tax Base, Flood Insurance, Real Estate, Mortgage Cycles, and Municipal Credit Ratings Based on the potential of SLR impacts,the demand for real estate is one example of an'economic engine'that may be affected.Demand within the City would be expected to fall as flood conditions degrade over time.The results are lower property values and a lower City tax base.Land use intensity falls and reduces the production of goods and services(for example,fewer hotel rooms and restaurants)and the income of residents who are employed by or own these businesses. j oe,,iotiA,ti 06' AI* .N014kiri . -,„40, - , , .. ‘,,, r , 1 ' , . ..." ,,,,,,- „•._-0.0 ... - ,-- , ,_ , , , , -- , __ ..,,r‘, ,...... , •, ,.

Maintaining land use intensity and property value is critical to preserving the economic vitality of the City.There are two ways in which the reduction in property value from increasing flood conditions would become apparent to owners—through flood damage claims and through mortgage abandonment and reduced availability. Excessive flood damage claims to private insurance companies participating in the National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP)could result in increased premiums or ineligibility of the City to participate in the program thus eliminating the availability of flood insurance.Either effect would increase the cost and risk of owning the property and would reduce the demand for real estate within the City.The land area may then convert to lower-valued land uses,and property values would fall. Another driver of property value is the availability and cost of mortgages.Property values both influence and are influenced by mortgage availability and cost.A mortgage and the interest it carries is approved based on the applicant's credit score and their financial ability to repay the debt.The amount of the loan is based on the market value of the property.Steep increases in flood conditions would incentivize mortgage abandonment and,if there is no subsequent buyer to take over the property as would be expected under heavy flood condi- tions,the market value collapses.In addition,mortgage providers would be less likely to grant mortgages for properties within the City thus further eroding property values throughout the area.

The Hazen team will estimate the flood insurance and mortgage impacts through interviews with the National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP),real estate agents,and mortgage providers,and through the results of previ- ous research. As land uses change with increased flood conditions over time,employment by businesses located in the City would fall,and the income earned through business employment and ownership would also fall.Most importantly, as residents and businesses abandon the City,the impact of their spending and visitor spending within the City's economy will be lost.The Hazen team will estimate the impact of flood conditions on land use,resident and visitor populations,and the resulting economic impact. Reduction in property values results in a lower property tax base used to determine the City's property tax revenue.The reduction in tax revenue to the City will reduce its ability to support its residents and businesses and could lower the City's municipal credit rating.City properties would also be subject to flood conditions and increased insurance premiums.The Hazen team will estimate the tax revenue impacts by projecting the reduction in property values over time. Estimated Dollar Value of Benefits Associated with each"Action"Alternative The benefit of each"action"alternative that mitigates or eliminates the flood condition,is the avoided economic impact of the"no action"alternative as explained in the section above.Thus,the chain of impacts is shown below: Benefit of Each Action Alternative a- .eti = - . - 1 �ieduoelea Improves access,use, Avoidance of a portion or �x gel and enjoyment of the all of the negative r e fa a #1 'ileo properties relative to economic impacts from the"no action"alternative the"no action"alternative 3-8 hazenandsawyer.00m Approach and Methodology The Hazen team will estimate the economic impact of the"no action"alternative and the avoided economic impact of each"action"alternative. Other Economic Benefits Other economic benefits of protecting the City include the avoided reductions in the economic value of resident and visitor well-being as they enjoy the amenities of Miami Beach,including sunbathing and relaxing,swimming, picnicking,sailing,boating,shopping,and dining,among other activities.These values measure some of the "social"impacts of the'no action"and"action"alternatives and can be estimated by the Hazen team.If there is a reduction in public space and parking capacity and/or hotel,dining and shopping capacity,then these economic values could be reduced proportionately. Economic Modeling The economic modeling will,for the most part,focus on the economic impacts from the range of flood condi- tions that could occur over time.This is because the benefits of the"action"alternatives will be the avoidance of all or a portion of these impacts.The Hazen team will use the following economic models to generate the dollar value of economic impacts and benefits for use in the larger modeling effort. IMPLAN Economic Input-Output Model IMPLAN is a well-known and well-respected economic input-output model with regional social accounting matrices that are used to create economic models of any defined region such as the City of Miami Beach.The City's model would be developed and used to estimate the direct,indirect,and induced changes in output, income,employment,and tax revenue in the City associated with"action"and"no action"alternatives.The alternatives would be defined in the model by the amounts and types of direct business revenue lost and direct resident spending lost as result of land use changes. The direct business revenue loss will be estimated based on the change in the land use and estimates of rev- enue generated per unit for the impacted property.Revenue per unit estimates will be developed for hotel rooms,restaurant seating areas,and square feet of office and retail space.For restaurants and hotels,changes in the capacity of the kitchens,laundries,and other infrastructure needed to serve the hotel rooms and restau- rant seating areas will be considered in estimating the property's revenue generating capacity. Most of the City's land area is in occupied single-family homes and apartments of which about 60 percent are renter-occupied.Most residents who work commute to jobs outside the city.About 18 percent of the housing units in the city are owned by seasonal residents.As these properties are impacted by increasing flood con- ditions over time,they may become abandoned under the"no action"alternative.As a result,the City's popu- lation would fall,as would the economic activity generated since goods and services were purchased in their neighborhoods.This impact can be estimated as the reduction in average spending per person or per house- hold times the reduction in the number of people or households living in the area,respectively.Consumer expenditure survey results from the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics can be used to create an itemized budget for a typical Miami Beach resident or household.The total estimated expenditure reduction would be input into the IMPLAN model to estimate the direct,indirect,and induced economic impacts. Hazen has used IMPLAN for economic analysis projects since 1992.IMPLAN's extensive economic database can be queried to understand the data being used in the modeling and can be customized with user data and 0, Hazen and Sawyer 3-9 Business Case Analysis of the City of Miami Beaoh Stormwater Resiliency Program • RFQ No.2017-300-KB local knowledge.IMPLAN's analytical software uses the IMPLAN economic database to allow the user to model custom economic impacts and learn how the economy functions. Property Valuation Model.The predominant land uses in Miami Beach are single-family homes,apartments, hotels,restaurants,golf courses,and stores.The Hazen team will compile relevant studies of flood impacts to property values and the results of NFIP and mortgagee interviews to develop a model specific to Miami Beach that predicts property value as base flood elevation'changes over time.The model will also include use of the income method to assess the change in property value of hotels,restaurants,and retail stores as the reve- nue-generating capacity of the property is reduced.Our team will assess whether there is a useful database available that can be used to conduct a hedonic price analysis of property values among properties with evident variations in flood risk. Government fiscal model.The Hazen team will use the City's property tax base,tax millage rate,and prop- erty-related cost data to develop a fiscal impact model for the City. Risk Modeling and Management Risk is directly related to the uncertainty that exists with respect to the magnitude of flooding and timing of this flooding,and should be considered when evaluating alternative adaptation strategies.The evaluation method used will depend on whether either risk or uncertainty,or both,are inherent in future projections of flooding and other factors such as economic conditions that would impact the success of an'action"alternative. Under risk,the level of SLR over time is not known,but the probabilities of the possible levels can be confidently constructed.For example,if there is a risk that SLR will increase at a slower rate or at a faster rate than the base forecast and if this risk could be confidently characterized through probability distributions,then a probability SLR+KT+Cat.5 Hazen has teamed Highest Cost SLR+KT+Cat.3 Very Low Probability with The RAND SLR+KT+Cat.1 Corporation to apply the innovative Robust 0 SLR+100 year Higher Cost Decision-Making Low Probability Model to the City's m Lower Cost Program SLR+5 year High Probability co Ed.

Under uncertainty,the outcome of a given situation is not known,and there is not enough information to set accurate or meaningful probabilities.This creates a modeling challenge.In practice,uncertainty can be addressed by evaluating flexible alternatives that can be modified later or that can be delayed until the probabilities are known and can be modeled.To identify these alternative and those that are robust to variations in future flood conditions,Hazen has teamed with The RAND Corporation to apply the innovative Robust Decision-Making (RDM)Model to the City of Miami Beach's Stormwater Resiliency Program.Detailed information on RDM can be found in this section. Triple-Bottom-Line Analysis - Integrating Social and Environmental Benefits Hazen has prided ourselves on delivering the most energy-efficient and environmentally friendly designs to our clients since 1951.Our history demonstrates our capability to apply Green innovations such as resource recovery, environmentally sustainable infrastructure,and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design(LEED)-certified buildings.Capitalizing on these types of individual opportunities provides a mutual benefit to the environment and the utility's bottom line.Our experience with other discrete environmental accounting tools,such as life-cycle assessment and carbon footprinting,also provide a quantitative means for benchmarking design and technology strategies against one another. However,the developing paradigm of sustainability has shown us that the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts.Addressing the extents of sustainability,or the triple bottom line,ensures that we decouple our decision-making from purely direct project costs,and begin to consider the social,environmental,and economic impacts of project alternatives.Business case evaluations offer a unique opportunity to maximize our impact—early application of sustainable evaluations has far greater impact than implementation of refinements to the"wrong"project down the road. A key challenge to comparing project impacts is that TBL criteria are typically measured using metrics that differ for each of the three categories of impacts.For example,economic criteria are usually measured in dollars,while envi- ronmental criteria are typically based on pollutant concentrations and discharge rates,and social criteria are often purely qualitative.For this reason,TBL evaluations using a standard cost-benefit analysis approach are rendered difficult,since many of the project impacts cannot be accurately or consistently converted into a single metric. Various methods have been used to address these issues by normalizing and weighting the different evaluation criteria so that they can be compared on a similar(i.e.,"apples to apples")basis.Alternatively,raw scores for both data-driven and subjectively developed criteria can be converted to ordinal rankings,with the final ranking of the projects based on a weighted cumulative or average score for all criteria. The Hazen team proposes using the latter method as it involves fewer assumptions and is more transparent than the scaling method.Although projects will be defined only at the concept level,their impacts can still be sufficiently estimated to compare and rank each project for each evaluation criteria.Our proposed method for TBL analysis will strictly conform to the City's requirement to provide a detailed economic analysis that includes the complex relationships between land use,property tax base,flood insurance,real estate,mortgage cycles,and credit wor- thiness. The comprehensive,transparent TBL analysis will allow the City to make a highly in- formed decision,considering the most pressing concerns and priorities.

Common project goals include long-term sustainability,safe and reliable operation,public acceptance,acceptable life-cycle cost,green energy technology,and recoverable energy efficiency.The optimal combination of all these drivers is vital for the development of a successful strategy. However,we also understand that the combination and prioritization of this criteria can prove challenging when engaging the program's stakeholders to formulate a decision.These planning goals are intrinsic to Envision's struc- ture,along with many other planning components.Given the full spectrum triple-bottom-line composition of the system,it can also be leveraged to identify other decision drivers during planning and evaluation,and thus enhance our analysis for a more informed decision-making process.Hazen has extensive experience utilizing Envision in both a prescriptive and non-prescriptive manner,and can adapt its structure to converge upon the best solution for our clients.We believe that our experience,coupled with Envision's credible and transparent framework,can strengthen the groundwork for a successful business case evaluation.

The most critical component of accurately estimating the impacts of SLR and mitigation investments is to accurately depict the changes in land use,property values,and economic activity.These impacts will directly determine the availability and cost of mortgages and flood insurance,the City's property tax base,the amount and reliability of tax revenue collected,and the City's credit rating. Regarding the economic impact of land use changes,we highlight a recent RAND(one of our team members)study titled,"Economic Evaluation of Coastal Land Loss in Louisiana published in the Journal of Ocean and Coastal Economics,June 2017.The economic cost of land loss in a future without action is the difference in total welfare from a world in which land loss does not happen and a world in which it does happen and no actions are taken to stop it.Both paths are theoretical in nature.The actual impacts will depend on the adaptive responses and future states of nature which are unobservable today. To isolate the effects of land loss without confounding it with additional assumptions,the basis for this analysis is the existing economic landscape and maps of land loss and storm surge projections from the 2012 Louisiana Coastal Master Plan.That is,the effects of projected land loss on current,rather than future,economic activity were esti- mated.This avoids confounding the economic impact of land loss with forecasts of future economic development. On a proportional basis,however,one can interpret our results as valid if one were to assume that the coastal economy grows at a constant rate.Alternatively,one can think of these results representing the present value of future costs if the economy grows at a rate equal to the discount rate. We first estimate the economic assets and activity that reside on land that may be lost in a future without action, and this section describes the methodological approach and data sources.The analysis of direct impact of land loss follows four basic steps: RAND's"Economic Evaluation of Coastal Land Loss in Louisiana"Study Steps to analyze land-use issues OIdentify land loss Identify locations of physical capital stock and activity We use map-based data from the Coastal Business activity and capital stock is not distributed evenly Protection&Restoration Authority(CPRA) across the coast but is concentrated along relatively high of Louisiana that identifies land at substan- ridges of land.Therefore,we identify the most geographically tial risk of loss in the future. granular and reliable source of geospatial data for each type of asset or activity.In general,point,path,or footprint level data are used rather than aggregated regions or blocks. © Determine which capital stock and activities are at risk © Screen results The geospatial data is used in conjunction To avoid overstating the effect of land loss on economic activi- with the land loss maps prepared by CPRA to ty,we allow for a modest degree of private mitigating action.In identify structures and activity at risk from cases where a business or capital asset is on land estimated to land loss. be lost,but the surrounding area is not significantly impacted, we assume that modest private mitigation actions will prevent losses. 3-16 hazenandsawyer.com Approach and Methodology Using data from Info-USA and the identified non-residential structures at risk,RAND reports the employment and sales volume of all establishments affected by land loss to estimate total employment and sales at risk directly from land loss under the four land loss projections.A second source of data,County Business Patterns(CBP),was used to estimate wages for lost jobs in this area.The average annual salary by parish from CBP was multiplied by total employment affected by land loss in that parish to estimate at-risk wages in the affected area. RAND used the Coastal Louisiana Risk Assessment(CLARA)model to translate the ADCIRC storm modeling into maximum flood depths.CLARA uses the ADCIRC results and statistical techniques to generate a suite of"synthetic storms"and uses these in conjunction with probability distributions to model the expected annual damage of storm activity in each modeled land-loss projection. RAND calculated the increased storm damage from land loss in a future without action for both stocks and flows based on the predicted flood depths and timing of economic disruptions,both of which are outputs of the CLARA model.For capital stocks,RAND used default,structure-specific depth-damage curves from CLARA to compute the proportional damage to the stock and associated replacement costs.For economic flows,disruption times were used to estimate lost sales and wages. Conditional on estimated flood depth at the location of each stock or flow,the depth-damage curves or disruption times were used to estimate the effect of flooding.The method for calculating storm damage follows an adjusted HAZUS-MH approach.HAZUS-MH was developed by FEMA and measures"direct economic losses"including the cost to repair and replace damaged and destroyed buildings,the cost of damage to building contents,and losses of building inventories. HAZUS-MH also estimates"indirect economic costs,"which are losses related to the length of time the facility is non-operational.The four indirect economic costs calculated by HAZUS-MH are business disruption losses(a measure of the loss of services or sales),wage loss,relocation expense(the cost to move operations to a temporary location while the usual building is being repaired),and rental income loss to business owners.RAND supplements HAZUS-MH with Louisiana-specific data,which allows the firm to select only the most reliable damage estimates from HAZUS-MH and to minimize the potential for double counting. This study found that the cost to replace the capital stock at risk from direct land loss ranges from about$2.1 billion to$3.5 billion.The economic activity directly at risk in coastal Louisiana is estimated to range from$2.4 billion to $3.1 billion in annual output,which is the change in the value of goods and services produced in the economy.These results can be used to estimate the reduction in property values using the income generation approach.

Our team has successfully performed business case evaluations of resiliency programs and implemented climate adaptation solutions incrementally,delivering significant cost savings and risk avoidance to numerous municipali- ties,many of which are located within South Florida. Fort Lauderdale Stormwater Master Plan For the City of Fort Lauderdale,Hazen is responsible for delivery of a new stormwater master plan model,a prior- itized stormwater/resiliency capital improvements plan,and implementation of designs to address chronic flooding and other stormwater management challenges in the City.Primary work tasks include data collection;hydrologic/ hydraulic stormwater modeling,including consideration of climate change impacts;a revised stormwater master plan with prioritized capital improvements;and design,permitting,and construction services for stormwater cap- ital improvement projects resulting from the revised stormwater master plan.The project team is using a robust decision-making strategy to evaluate solutions that perform effectively over a broad range of climatological and other uncertain future conditions.The program will result in a re-prioritized capital improvement plan to address key neighborhoods and climate change adaptation action areas. .

Coral Gables Sea Level Rise Impact Analysis and Adaptation Plan As part of our ongoing work at the City of Coral Gables,our team is evaluating numerous resiliency strategies from a holistic perspective—taking into account engineering value,economic benefits,environmental impacts,and effects to the community. As part of our innovative approach to assist the City of Coral Gables as they harden their assets,our team worked closely with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA)to define probable risk,such as the chance of a hurricane traveling within 100 miles of the city,and extreme risks,such as the Sea,Lake,and Overland Surges from Hurricanes(SLOSH)for a Category V storm combined with the effects of king tides and sea level rise in 2070. 2 J 3-20 hazenandsawyeroom Approach and Methodology Empirical Probability of a Named Storm 60N 1- v,„ @ ...

By performing the business case analysis as part of the robust decision-making process,RDM considers every factor influencing whether the program will be successful.With RDM there are no limitations on the number of scenarios that can be evaluated. Hazen will facilitate timely,effective,and confident decision-making through stakeholder participation;analysis of factors contributing to flood risk and vulnerability;use of quantitative methods to evaluate impacts of flood condi- tions under"action"and"no action"alternatives;and a transparent and inclusive process of data collection and analysis. Rather than using computer models and data to describe a best-estimate future,RDM runs models on hundreds to thousands of different sets of assumptions to describe how plans perform in a range of plausible futures.Analysts then use visualization and statistical analysis of the resulting large database of model runs to help decision-makers distinguish future conditions in which their plans will perform well from those in which they will perform poorly.This o, information can help decision-makers identify,evaluate,and choose robust strategies—ones that perform well r 5 over a wide range of futures and that better manage surprise.

RDM avoids these problems by running the analysis"backward'Rather than start with predictions,the approach begins with one or more plans under consideration(often a current or best-estimate plan)and uses multiple runs of the model to identify the futures most relevant to the plan's success.Just as people routinely use search engines, such as Google,to scan millions of websites to find information that interests them,RDM analyzes data across many model runs to help decision-makers address such questions as,"What are the key characteristics that differentiate those futures in which a plan succeeds from those in which it fails?"and"What steps can be taken so a plan may succeed over a wider range of futures?" RDM follows a"deliberation with analysis"process of decision support,as recommended by the U.S.National Research Council.The process begins with many participants to a decision working together to define their objec- tives and other parameters.Participants next engage with experts to generate and interpret decision-relevant information and then revisit choices and objectives based on this information.RDM adds to this general approach the concepts of running the analysis backward—that is,beginning with a proposed decision—and testing plans against many different plausible futures. 3-22 hazenandsawyer.com Approach and Methodology The RDM process,shown in the figure below,begins with a decision structuring exercise in which decision-makers define the goals,uncertainties,and choices under consideration(Step 1).Analysts then use computer models to generate a large database of runs(Step 2)in which each case represents the performance of a proposed policy in one plausible future.Computer visualization and statistical analysis of this database help decision-makers identify clusters of scenar- ios that illuminate the policies'vulnerabilities(Step 3).These scenarios can then help decision-makers identify potential new ways to address those vulnerabilities(back to Step 1)or evaluate through trade-off analysis whether these choices are worth adopting(Step 4).The process continues until decision-makers settle on a robust strategy.

Anticipated Project Steps and Task Authorizations Our Robust Decision-Making model will provide the City with an evidenced-based decision-making framework. This framework,which has been used in numerous resiliency programs,will be piloted with a completed stormwa- ter project to validate its methodology and tailor the framework to the City's specific needs.Once the pilot phase is complete our team will continue to use our Robust Decision-Making framework on an ongoing basis to evaluate risks and adaptation strategies at a programmatic level. Pilot The Hazen team is ready to pilot the business case approach using one of the City's existing stormwater projects to validate the efficacy of our decision-making tool.Although this tool is tried and tested,having been used suc- cessfully on resiliency programs,this step serves a critical purpose.By piloting the tool our team will ensure that the City receives a Robust Decision-Making framework and business plan tailored to meet the City's unique needs. The Sunset Harbor Neighborhood Improvements Project serves as prime example of a project that can be used to pilot the business case approach.As part of this project the City reconstructed three stormwater pump stations and rehabilitated the existing stormwater collection system.Perhaps the most notable improvement in this project was the raising of the roads and sea walls to combat the effects of sea level rise. m 3-24 hazenandsawyeroom Approach and Methodology 1,1011100 a "• r � 1 : , u a ' n �a' e v ice" 1 0 ,xS.q p 00 011011,0 % u 9 11 •• 01111P. es ai • o: „iro if!

The timing of physical and triple bottom line(economic,environmental and social)impacts of SLR is a major con- sideration when developing the City's Stormwater Resiliency Program.The range of expected physical impacts over time will determine the range of expected TBL impacts over time.For example,under the"no action"alterna- tive,moderate SLR physical impacts that reduce the use,profitability and/or enjoyment of a property might not be expected until year 10.The resulting TBL impacts,such as moderately lower property values and a moderate exodus of residents,could filter through the City very quickly,say over a 3-to 5-year period with the maximum impact in years 13 to 15.The Hazen team will develop scenarios of the timing of benefits and costs to include in the RDM analysis and ultimately,the business case evaluation.
