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.

Gonzalez City Manager A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING 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 ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution 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. North Shore BODR July 30, 2003 Page 2 of 4 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. Total Funding for North Shore Water/Sewer Bonds G.O. Bond Section 108 loan Total $ 2,239,304 $ 4,150,000 $1,ooo,ooo $ 7,389,304 Net Construction Budget Construction Funding Continqenc¥ (10%) Net Construction Budget $ 6,342,393 $ 634,239 $ 5,708,154 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 North Shore BODR July 30, 2003 Page 3 of 4 with textured crosswalks and wider sidewalks, and maintaining the current availability of parking. The following improvements are fully funded under the construction budget.

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. change~r~de unless formal construction design efforts uncover errors J~/'FH/JAM T:~AGEl~DA~2003~Jul3003~regular~lorlh Shore BODR memo.doc CITY OF MIAMI BEACH ADDENDUM No. 1 June 20~ 2003 RIGHT-OF-WAY INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM North Shore FINAL BASIS OF DESIGN REPORT (June, 2003) The CORRADINO Group TO ALL FINAL BODR RECIPIENTS: The following changes have been issued to the Final Basis of Design Report (BODR) dated May 20, 2003.
