COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jinvny L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: September 11, 2019
SUBJECT:A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF
THE CITY MANAGER, PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
(RFQ) NO. 2019-242-ND FOR ARCHITECTURAL AND DESIGN SERVICES
FOR RENOVATIONS TO MIAMI BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT (MBPD)
HEADQUARTERS.
RECOMM ENDATIQN
Adopt the Resolution accepting the City Manager's recommendation.
ANALYSIS
The Miami Beach Police Department(MBPD)serves a population of approximately 93,000 with
a staff of approximately 400 sworn personnel in addition to approximately 150 unswom (or
civilian) personnel. The Department hosts over 20 specialized units including and a Property&
Evidence Unit, a Special Investigations Unit, a Police Training Unit and a firing range. The
Department anticipates approximately 20%growth over the next two decades.
Designed in 1984, the MBPD's current headquarters at 1100 Washington Avenue is a five story
building of approximately 88,356 SF. The facility is operating well past its planned service life
and can no longer accommodate additional growth.A comprehensive, station-wide renovation is
needed in order to modernize all major building systems, increase the building's resiliency to
hazardous flooding conditions and optimize the existing spaces to accommodate future growth
for the Department.
In November 2018, Miami Beach voters approved a ballot measure, which authorized the
issuance of a general obligation bond (GO Bond)to renovate the City's Police Station.A total of
$10,000,000 of general obligation bonds were issued to fund the project.
The building will need to be redesigned to serve as an Emergency Operations Center when
needed. The redesign must be such that the Department can remain fully operational after a
major storm event or natural disaster. It is not sufficient for the facility to remain standing; Police
personnel must be able to effectively respond to the needs of the public after a major disaster.
Accordingly, this is a critical facility and must be redesigned to meet the current day
Page 343 of 2228
requirements for critical facilities per state and local guidelines.
The purpose of this RFQ is to obtain qualifications from individuals,"firms, teams, or
consultants, who demonstrate experience in projects of a similar type, size, and complexity to
provide architectural and engineering services for the space planning and renovation of the
MBPD headquarters building. The successful proposer shall provide pre-design, schematic
design, design development, construction documentation, and construction administration
services

CONCLUSION
After reviewing all of the submissions and the Evaluation Committee's rankings and
commentary, 1 concur with the Evaluation Committee and find Leo A. Daly Company to be the
best qualified firm for the project. Leo A. Daly Company is a large firm with a national presence
that has a robust portfolio of public safety projects both locally and nationally. It has completed
various LEED certified projects including the completion of a LEED Gold public safety building
in the City of Davie. Its approach and methodology is thorough and focused mainly on the
interaction and feedback from the community and the Police Department in the preplanning
stages, in order to avoid changes as the project progresses. Finally, it designs flexible
environments that allow the facility to adapt to changes in technology, staffing needs,
regulations,and functionality.
For the reasons stated herein, I recommend that the Mayor and City Commission approve the
resolution authorizing the Administration to enter into negotiations with Leo A. Daly Company, as
the top ranked proposer; further, if the administration is not successful in negotiating an
agreement with Leo A. Daly Company, authorizing the administration to enter into negotiations
with Wolfberg/Alvarez and Partners, Inc., as the second ranked proposer, further, if the

administration is not successful in negotiating an agreement with Wolfberg/Alvarez and
Partners, Inc., authorizing the administration to enter into negotiations with the Netta Architects,
LLC, as the third ranked proposer, and further authorizing the Mayor and City C.jerk to execute
an agreement upon conclusion of successful negotiations by the Administration.
