COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: January 15, 2020
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. 2019-109-ND FOR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CONSULTANT
SERVICES.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution accepting the recommendation of the City Manager.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Many of the projects managed by the Transportation Department require traffic engineering
services. Typically, the City has outsourced the required engineering services to qualified firms
through a continuing contract established in accordance with Section 287.055, Florida Statutes.
In anticipation of the current contract's expiration of February 2020, the City issued the RFQ
seeking to prequalify traffic engineering consulting firms for future work as they need may arise.
The RFQ state that the City may award a pool of one (1) or more consultants eligible to be
considered for future work. Prequalifying firms now prior to the work actually being identified
streamlines the process of deploying a firm once the need arise. The firm is selected in
accordance with the referenced statute, which requires the City to determine the best firm for
the work and negotiate a consultant service order based on pre-negotiated rates. The described
process used by the City is typical of how most cities across the state engage engineering
services in accordance with statutory requirements.
ANALYSIS
On September 11, 2019, the City Commission approved the issuance of Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) 2019-109-ND for traffic engineering consultant services. On September
13, 2019, the RFQ was issued. A voluntary pre-proposal conference to provide information to
proposers submitting a response was held on September 23, 2019. One addendum was
issued to address questions from bidders. The Procurement Department issued bid notices to
all firms registered for the discipline with www.bidsync.com website, as well as other known
bidders. In total,over 8,000 firms were notified of which 76 accessed the advertised solicitation.
RFQ responses were due and received on October 28, 2019. The City received a total of 19
proposals from the firms included in Attachment A.

The Evaluation Committee appointed by the City Manager convened on November 21, 2019, to
consider proposals received. The Committee was comprised of Michael Belush, Chief of
Planning and Zoning, Planning Department; Josiel Ferrer-Diaz, Assistant Director,
Transportation Department; Rogelio Madan, Chief of Community Planning and Sustainability,
Planning Department; and Doraida Rodriguez, Traffic Engineer III, Department of
Transportation Public Works, Miami-Dade County. The Committee was provided an overview of
the project, information relative to the Citys Cone of Silence Ordinance and the Government
Sunshine Law. The Committee was also provided with general information on the scope of
services and a copy of each proposal. The Committee was instructed to score and rank each
proposal pursuant to the evaluation criteria established in the RFQ.
The evaluation process resulted in the proposers being ranked by the Evaluation Committee in
the following order(See Attachment A):
1st. The Corradino Group, Inc.
2nd. Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc.
3rd. HNTB Corporation

A summary of the three top-ranked firms, based on the information provided by each firm,
follows:
The Corradino Group, Inc.
According to the information provided by the firm, The Corradino Group, Inc.was established in
1970 and is headquartered in South Florida. The Corradino Group, Inc. has provided planning,
engineering design, environmental and construction management services to government
entities and the private sector for 49 years. Its success is built on delivering a quality product
developed through the inclusiveness of the planning process and the effectiveness of
communication.
Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc.
According to the information provided by the firm, Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc. was
founded as a transportation firm in 1967 and is now one of the largest and fastest growing full-
service consulting firms in Florida. As a transportation engineering, planning, landscape
architecture, surveying, and environmental services firm, Kimley-Hom offers a wide range of
Page 797 of 1618
consulting services to local, regional, national, and international clients. Its staff will offer the City
critical insights into practical program approaches for ongoing traffic engineering services.
HNTB Corporation
According to the information provided by the firm, HNTB Corporation was founded in 1914 and
has built a reputation for excellence and innovation. HNTB represents four of the state's five
expressway enterprises serving as a General Engineering Consultant or Project Manager for
Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, Central Florida Expressway Authority, Miami-Dade Expressway
Authority and the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority. They have provided general
transportation and traffic engineering services to the City since May of 2018.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION s,
The cost of the related services, determined upon successful negotiations, are subject to funds
availability approved through the City's budgeting process.
CONCLUSION
While the City is fortunate to have received such a robust response to the RFQ, the amount of
work anticipated by the Transportation Department is insufficient to keep all firms busy and
interested in City projects. When considering the amount of work anticipated by the
Transportation Department, it appears that awarding to three (3)firms would provide a sufficient
pool of resources while allowing for each firm to receive enough work to stay interested.
After reviewing all of the submissions and the Evaluation Committee process, I concur with the
Evaluation Committee and find The Corradino Group, Inc., Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc.,
and HNTB Corporation, the three top ranked firms respectively, to be the best qualified firms to
establish a pre-qualified pool of consultants for specific tasks relating to traffic engineering
services. These firms have strong teams with a wealth of knowledge in the City of Miami Beach
and neighboring municipalities. The three (3)teams have direct familiarity with the City's boards,
land-use regulations and/or the City's vision. Additionally, some of the prior experience
provided by the firms demonstrated their ability to carry out innovative ideas, solutions, and
recommendations. Further, each firm has performed well on prior projects with the City.
For the reasons stated herein, I recommend that the Mayor and City Commission approve the
Resolution authorizing the Administration to establish a pool of pre-qualified consultants for
specific tasks relating to traffic engineering services; authorizing the Administration to enter into
negotiations with The Corradino Group, Inc., as the first ranked proposer; Kimley-Hom and
Associates, Inc., as the second ranked proposer, and HNTB Corporation, as the third ranked
proposer, and further authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute agreements with each of
the foregoing proposers upon conclusion of successful negotiations by the Administration.
