SUBJECT: Amendment to the Existing Engineering Contract with
Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan, Inc. , for the
Redesign of the Bridges at Biarritz Drive and Bay
Drive over the Normandy Waterway
The City of Miami Beach has a contract with Post, Buckley,
Schuh and Jernigan, Inc. , to prepare plans and specifications
to replace the existing bridges at Biarritz and Bay Drives
over the Normandy Waterway. Plans and Specifications were
completed and delivered to the City.
In the interim a new federally funded program to replace off-
systems bridges , which would be 100% funded, was instituted.
The City, in an effort to secure $750,000 to $1,200,000 for
replacement of these bridges, developed required backup infor-
mation for the State of Florida to secure the federal grant
utilizing the services of Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan,
Inc. The Federal Government disapproved the original bridge
design because its policy is to replace the existing facility
and not participate in such amenities as sidewalks on both
sides of the bridges, divider medians, vertical retaining
walls, etc. Basically the criteria is to replace existing
structures and add only required safety features. The City
has resubmitted a Master Plan to the State of Florida to re-
place the bridges in the existing alignment and provide safety
features and bike paths on one side in lieu of the extra
sidewalk revetment type retaining wall, etc . The Federal
Government' s review has been favorable and funds are available
but must be committed prior to June 1, 1981 which would require
the expeditious redesign of the bridges to conform with the
new Master Plan.
It is proposed to amend the contract with Post, Buckley, Schuh
and Jernigan, Inc. Under the terms of the existing contract
the fee would be based on payroll costs plus 150%. The total
fee would not exceed $68,000 for the redesign of the bridges
and would include all items in the Master Plan.
The City Attorney has reviewed this matter and advised that the
amendment to the contract to provide for redesign of the bridges
is in order. Funds for this purpose are available from the
March 14, 1972 Bond Issue.
The Administration recommends that the City Commission authorize
an amendment to the existing contract for the above services at
a fee not to exceed $68 ,000.
