COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
IAPPROVING AND OFFICIALLY ADOPTING THE NORTH SHORE NEIGHBORHOOD BASIS OF
DESIGN REPORT (BODR) AND ADDENDUM #1, WHICH DEFINES AND DESCRIBES G.O. BOND,
WATER AND SEWER BOND, AND SECTION 108 LOAN FUNDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TO BE
IMPLEMENTED THROUGH THE NORTH SHORE RIGHT OF WAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.
Issue:
IShould the City adopt the North Shore Basis of Design Report (BODR) and Addendum #1, prepared by I
The Corradino Group, and City staff, as the officially approved description of capital improvements to be
I
designed and constructed through the North Shore Right of Way Improvement Project?
Item Summary/Recommendation:
On October 17, 2001, the City entered into an agreement with The Corradino Group (the Consultant) to
provide for Planning Phase services for the North Shore ROW Right of Way Improvement Project. The
Consultant and City staff initiated a comprehensive planning process that included a review of historic
information, neighborhood site visits, and inter-departmental staff and consultant visioning sessions.
The Consultant then developed an initial program of recommended improvements presented at a Community
Design Workshop (CDW #1) on May 16, 2002 at the North Shore Library. Public comment and feedback
from this forum was analyzed and incorporated where appropriate in a revised plan, which was presented at a
second Community Design Workshop (CDW #2) on July 24, 2002 at the Shane Watersport Center. At CDW
#2, a substantial consensus among residents on the proposed improvements was achieved, with the
exception of Park View Island. Subsequently, ClP staff and the Parking Department held a meeting with
residents of Park View Island to discuss possible solutions to the parking shortage on the island. Finally,
Corradino presented revised plans at Community Design Workshop #3 on January 28, 2003, when
consensus was reached on all issues.
The Consultant has documented the program of improvements in the BODR. The BODR was carefully
reviewed by all applicable City Departments and refined as necessary, including Addendum #1 which was
requested by staff to correct errors and omissions in the final draft of the report. The next step is for the City
Commission to approve the BODR and Addendum #1, which will then serve as a basis for the preparation of
construction drawings for recommended improvements.
Advisory Board Recommendation:
IOn July 7, 2003, the BODR and Addendum #1 were approved by the GO Bond Oversight Committee.

ANALYSIS
The North Shore neighborhood is bounded by 87th Terrace on the north, the Atlantic Ocean on the
east, 63rd Street on the south and Indian Creek and Tatum Waterway on the West. The
neighborhood can be characterized as highly urbanized and densely populated with multi family
apartments and condominiums. The North Shore neighborhood commercial districts are located
along Collins Avenue and 71 st Street. These State roadways were recently reconstructed and were
not included in the scope of this project. Likewise, other State and County roads (Harding Avenue
and Indian Creek Drive) were not included as part of this infrastructure and streetscape effort. There
is, however, a parallel effort funded as part of this project to provide a traffic impact analysis for the
redesign of Collins Avenue and Harding Avenue to allow two-way traffic on both streets.
Background
On October 17, 2001, the Mayor and City Commission approved the professional services
agreement, pursuant to Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 10-00/01, with The Corradino Group
(the Consultant) for Planning Phase services for the North Shore ROW Improvement Project. The
total fee for the Planning Phase was $339,689, with $179,516 from Series 2000 General Obligation
Bonds, $116,983 from Water and Sewer Bonds, and $43,190 from Quality of Life funds (for the
Collins/Harding traffic study).
The Consultant's Notice to Proceed was given on January 14, 2002 and the Project Kick-off Meeting
was held on January 15, 2002. The official onsite reconnaissance meeting with City staff and
Program Managers, Hazen and Sawyer, was held on February 12, 2002. Using information gathered
from these meetings as well as resident input collected at North Shore GO Bond meetings held
previously during the spring of year 2000, the Consultant developed an initial program of
recommended improvements. On March 29, 2002, the Consultant presented this program to City
staff for comment and further development.

On May 16, 2002, a revised program was presented at Community Design Workshop (CDW) #1 held
at the North Shore Library. Public comment and feedback from this forum was analyzed and
incorporated, where appropriate, into a revised plan. This revised program was presented at
Community Design Workshop #2 on July 24, 2002 at the Shane Watersport Center. At this meeting, a
substantial consensus among residents on the proposed improvements was achieved, with the
exception of Park View Island. Subsequently, ClP staff and the Parking Department held a meeting
with residents of Park View Island to discuss possible solutions to the parking shortage on the island.
Finally, Corradino presented revised plans at Community Design Workshop #3 on January 28, 2003,
when consensus was reached on all issues.
On March18, 2003, the Consultant submitted a draft BODR, the culmination of planning efforts. The
initial draft was revised to address comments by City staff and Program Managers, Hazen and
Sawyer. On May 20, 2003, the Consultant submitted the (Draft Final) BODR. A review of that
document revealed a number of minor errors and omissions that did not warrant a full reprinting of
the document; therefore, the ClP Office requested the Consultant to prepare Addendum #1. The
Addendum, submitted June 25, 2003, addresses the remaining comments from City staff and Hazen
and Sawyer. On July 7, 2003, the G.O. Bond Oversight Committee recommended approval of the
BODR and Addendum #1 as submitted.

Stormwater Drainage
North Shore does not contain a priority basin for Stormwater drainage identified in the City of Miami
Beach Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan, (1997); therefore no drainage funding was
allocated to this neighborhood.
Water Distribution System
According to the City of Miami Beach Water System Master Plan, nearly 18,000' of cast iron pipe
(priority 1) is in need of replacement at a cost of approximately $3,087,199. Similarly, existing
galvanized pipes (priority 2) throughout the neighborhood have been corroded over time. In North
Shore this means that 7,650 linear feet of Priority 2, pipe will be replaced. It is projected that the total
cost for this will be $875,298. The vast majority of waterlines (28,000') in the neighborhood are
Priority 3 lines. Currently, the City is still in the process of evaluating the need to replace Priority 3
water lines in the North Shore neighborhood
Streetscape Improvements
G.O. Bonds are used for above-ground streetscape improvements that were developed from the
priorities expressed by the neighborhood. The effort focused on street beautification, lighting, traffic
calming, sidewalk repair, and parking. Improvement options dealt with narrowing driving lanes to
slow down traffic speeds, making the area pedestrian friendly by providing shade trees and bulbouts

In order to plan project work schedules in a reasonable manner, projects will be coordinated with
various other citywide construction projects. In addition, project work schedules will be planned in
coordination with the City's desire to evenly distribute construction throughout the north, mid and
south beach portions of the city, along with other ongoing construction projects in North Beach. As a
result, construction will not begin before October of 2005.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends approval of the North Shore BODR, including Addendum #1, as
submitted. By approving the BODR, the City will officially end the planning process for this
neighborhood and finalize the design concept. Formal construction drawings will commence. An
important f~ature of the BODR approval is that no added input on the concept will be solicited nor
flaws or in concept.

TO ALL FINAL BODR RECIPIENTS:
The following changes have been issued to the Final Basis of Design Report (BODR)
dated May 20, 2003. These changes requested by the City of Miami Beach Capital
Improvement Program (ClP) Office.
All BODR recipients shall incorporate this addendum into the report.
Byron Ave:
The project team realizes the importance of maintaining on-street parking. Issues that
arose late in the planning phase, related to the need for Fire Department access at the
medians has reduced the number of on-street spaces that this street could have with its
current design. During the design phase, The Consultant will develop a plan that adds at
least 10 spaces to what is currently recommended.
