COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
IA Resolution adopting the Biscayne Point Neighborhood Basis of Design Report (BODR) and Addendum #1,
which defines G.O. Bond, Water and Sewer Bond, and Stormwater Bond funded Capital Improvements to be
implemented through the Biscayne Point Neighborhood Right Of Way Improvement Project.
Issue:
Should the City adopt the Biscayne Point Basis of Design Report (BODR) and Addendum #1, prepared byThe
Corradino Group and City staff, as the officially approved description of capital improvements to be designed
and constructed through the Biscayne Point Right of Way Improvement Proiect?
Item Summary/Recommendation:
On April 10, 2002, the City entered into an agreement with The Corradino Group (the Consultant) to provide for
Planning Phase services for the Biscayne Point 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 Sept. 19, 2002 at the Lehrman Day School. 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 January 9, 2003. At CDW #2, a substantial consensus was achieved
among residents on the recommended improvements. The BODR was prepared by the Consultant, 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.
At the GO Bond Oversight Committee meeting where the BODR was considered, the Biscayne Pointe Island
Homeowner's Association requested an increase in the number of acorn lighting fixtures, with funding to be
reallocated from deleting the milling and resurfacing of streets in the sub-neighborhood. Residents of Biscayne
Beach requested a greater share of the available funding, due to what they perceive as a greater need for
improvements in the multi-family area, particularly with regard to drainage.
Subsequent to the G.O. Bond Committee recommendation, the Administration held a meeting with
representatives of the Biscayne Pointe Island Homeowners Association and achieved consensus to accept the
Consultant's and the Administration's recommendation for lighting and repaving. The GO Bond Oversight
Committee concurred with the staff recommendation and did not accept the Biscayne Beach request to
reallocate funding from other neighborhoods to them. 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:
On August 4, 2003, the BODR and Addendum #1 were approved by the GO Bond Oversight Committee, with
the following amendment: delete $163,630 for repaving roadways and reallocate those funds to the decorative
acorn lighting budget.

ANALYSIS
The Basis of Design Report (BODR) for Stormwater, Water and Sewer, and General Obligation Bond
funded improvements for the Biscayne Point Neighborhood has been completed and submitted by
the Corradino Group, the consultant contracted to plan and design the neighborhood improvements.
This Basis of Design Report (BODR) has been reviewed by City staff from all relevant 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.
Neighborhood Description
The Biscayne Point neighborhood is entirely residential in land use, and includes two neighborhood
parks. It consists of three sub-neighborhoods with varying needs and funding sources. Therefore,
the improvement plan is subdivided into three sub-plans based on the needs of the sub-
neighborhoods of Biscayne Pointe Island, a peninsular island of single family homes which has a
gated entry one block west of the intersection of 77th Street and Hawthorne Avenue; Stillwater, a
peninsula of single family homes with a gated entry located west of 85th Street and Stillwater Park;
and Biscayne Beach, an island bounded to the east and south by Tatum Waterway, to the north by
Biscayne Bay, and to the west by a canal and Biscayne Bay. Biscayne Beach consists of
predominantly multi-family residential uses, with a number of single family homes located west of
Hawthorne Ave. and north of 86th Street.
Background
On April 10, 2002, 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 Biscayne Point ROW Improvement Project. The total
cost for the Planning Phase was $90,512, with $69,703 from Series 2000 General Obligation Bonds,
$3,358 from Water and Sewer Bonds, and $17,451 from the Stormwater Bond Fund.

The Consultant's Notice to Proceed was given on June 10, 2002 and the Project Kick-off Meeting
was held on the same day. The official onsite reconnaissance meeting with City staff and Program
Managers, Hazen and Sawyer, was held on June 17, 2002. Using information gathered from these
meetings, as well as resident input collected at Biscayne Point GO Bond meetings held previously
during the spring of 2000, the Consultant developed an initial program of recommended
improvements. On August 23, 2002, the Consultant presented this program to City staff for comment
and further development.
On September 19, 2002, a revised program was presented at Community Design Workshop (CDW)#1
held at Lehrman Day School. Public comment and feedback from this forum was analyzed and
incorporated into the plan, where appropriate. In addition, the Project Team held individual meetings
with each of the sub-neighborhood homeowner's associations and conducted several more site visits.
This revised program was presented at CDW #2 on January 9, 2003. At this meeting, a substantial
consensus was achieved among residents on recommendations related to the GO Bond improvements.
However, the following issues were identified for further study.
The Biscayne Pointe Island Homeowner's Association (HOA) requested an increase in the
number of fixtures in the proposed pedestrian scale lighting system by reducing the spacing
between fixtures. In order to cover the increased cost for light fixtures, the HOA proposed
that the milling and resurfacing of asphalt pavement should be deleted from the Project.
Subsequently, the Public Works Department conducted testing and analysis of the condition
of the pavement and concluded that milling and resuffacing of the island's streets will be
necessary. This issue was resolved in later meetings between the Administration and the
HOA, which resulted in the HO^ agreeing to accept the Consultant's and the Administration's
recommendation for the BODR.
The Stillwater Drive Homeowner's Association requested additional enhancements to the
entrance area near the guardhouse. There is a total of $23,640 recommended in the BODR
for landscaping, lighting and sign enhancement for this entrance. However, some of the
residents feel this is not sufficient and would like a more elaborate entrance design with
masonry walls, brick pavers and other amenities. Residents were informed that the
consultants will work with them during the design phase of the project to achieve the best
possible design within the available budget.
Residents of Biscayne Beach requested a greater share of the available funding, due to what
they perceive as a greater need for improvements in the multi-family area, particularly with
regard to drainage. The response from consultants and staff was that the funding for
drainage and water and sewer improvements was directly linked to priorities developed in the
citywide master plans. Water and Stormwater Bond funding cannot be expended outside of
areas that meet these priority criteria, thus stormwater improvements in the Biscayne Beach
sub-neighborhood are targeted for the area north of 83r~ Street. In addition, residents were
advised that since the GO Bond funding allocation for Biscayne Point was presented as a
single line item in the bond issue, funding was roughly allocated between the three sub-
neighborhoods based upon a ratio of linear feet of roadway. This is the same method that
has been implemented in other neighborhoods throughout the City where the bond line item
was allocated for an entire area with mixed residential uses and sub-neighborhoods.
On March 21, 2003, the Consultant submitted a draft BODR, representative of the culmination of
planning efforts. The initial draft went through several revisions to address comments by City staff
and the Program Managers, Hazen and Sawyer. On July 18, 2003, the Consultant submitted the
(Draft Final) BODR. A review of that document revealed a number of minor errors and omissions that
Biscayne Point BODR
October 15, 2003
Page 3 of 7
did not warrant a full reprinting of the document; therefore, the ClP Office requested the Consultant to
prepare Addendum No. 1. The Addendum, submitted August 15, 2003, addresses the remaining
comments from City staff and Hazen and Sawyer.
A summary of Total Project Funding proposed for the Biscayne Point neighborhood is presented
below:
Initial Total Funding for Biscayne Point

Stormwater Drainage
Biscayne Point contains one priority basin for Stormwater drainage identified in the City of Miami
Beach Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan, (1997). Basin 142 encompasses all of the
land north of 83rd Street, including Stillwater Drive. This priority basin was not funded dudng the
bonding process. However, the City has recently completed a citywide stormwater funding analysis
that allowed it to identify a sufficient amount of funding for the necessary drainage improvements.
These funds can only be expended within the confines of the pdodty drainage basin. Residents have
expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of stormwater funding for the remaining parts of the
neighborhood, with particular emphasis on flooding near the intersection of Crespi Blvd. and 81st Street.
Water Distribution System
The City of Miami Beach Water System Master Plan identifies neady 400' of cast iron pipe (priority 1)
that is in need of replacement. Similarly, the Master Plan identifies approximately 5,800 linear feet of
existing galvanized mains (priority 2) and cast iron (priority 3 aged cast iron) mains throughout the
neighborhood that have been corroded over time and reached the end of their useful life. The
Consultant estimates that the total construction cost for water lines will be $748,897. It must be noted
that a portion of the water line improvements were not funded sufficiently dudng the bonding process.
However, the City has recently completed an analysis that allowed it to identify $1,075,250 for
improvements, including contingencies and "soft" costs.
Streetscape Improvements
G.O. Bonds are used for above-ground streetscape improvements that were developed from the
priorities expressed bythe neighborhood. In general, the streetscape effort focused on landscaping,
lighting, and traffic calming. Improvement options dealt with enhancing the character of the area by
providing shade trees, making the area pedestrian friendly with bulbouts, crosswalks and wider
sidewalks, and maintaining the current availability of parking. Proposed improvements were

Project Implementation Schedule
Task 1 Planning June 2002 - September 2003
Task 2 Design and Permitting September 2003 - November 2004
Task 3 Bid / Award June 2005 - September 2005
Task 4 Construction October 2005 - May 2007
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.
Residents have voiced opposition to this implementation timeline, requesting that construction in the
Biscayne Pointe neighborhood commence as soon as possible. In response, staff has noted that the
ROW Program attempts to schedule an equivalent amount ongoing construction in each of the three
Miami Beach districts (north, mid and south) so as to prevent too much construction affecting one
area at the same time. Since multiple ROW projects will already be ongoing in the North Beach area,
the proposed implementation schedule offers the requisite timing required to coordinate projects in
the North Beach area.
GO Bond Oversight Committee Recommendation
The BODR was transmitted to members of the G.O. Bond Oversight Committee on July 18, 2003.
On the same date, the BODR was posted on the City's website, and neighborhood residents were
notified that the BODR was available for review and comment. The Corradino Group presented the
BODR to the G.O. Bond Oversight Committee at their meeting on August 4, 2003. A number of
residents testified during the meeting; and generally, their comments were similar to those expressed
in the second CDW. While in general agreement with the majority of planned improvements, there
was disagreement on the amount of funding allocated to the Biscayne Beach sub-neighborhood and
the lighting on Biscayne Pointe Island. The greatest number of comments came from Biscayne
Pointe Island residents who want the repaying of the streets to be deleted from the GO Bond funding
in order to increase the budget for acorn lighting. After much discussion, the G.O. Bond Oversight
Committee voted to support the Biscayne Pointe Island residents' request to delete $163,630 for
repaving roadways from the G.O. Bond budget and to reallocate those funds to the decorative acorn
lighting budget.
On September 22, 2003, the CIP Office and Program Manager held a meeting with representatives
of the Biscayne Pointe Island Homeowners Association to discuss the lighting issue. As a result of
that meeting, the residents gained a more complete understanding of the minimum lighting standard,
and agreed to accept the Consultant's and the Administration's recommendation for the BODR.
The BODR recommendation of the consultant which is now supported by the Homeowners
Association is for the installation of a pedestrian-scale lighting system with light fixtures staggered
every 100' on-center. The lighting system recommended by Corradino and the Administration,
combined with the existing overhead cobra lights, meets the City standard for residential
neighborhoods for an average of 0.60 foot-candles. The additional "acorn" lights requested by the
community would have decreased the spacing to approximately 80' to 85' staggered and the foot-
candles would be estimated to increase to an average of + 0.75. Both options contemplate the
overhead cobra lights remaining. Staff's recommendation is based on the premise that both the
minimum lighting standard would be met, as well as milling and resurfacing within the available
budget. It should be noted that "acorn" fixtures may be replaced by another style of fixture with
Biscayne Point BODR
October 15, 2003
Page 7 of 7
similar height (-12 ft.) and photometric performance, depending upon a pending decision to
standardize fixtures Citywide.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends approval of the Biscayne Point BODR as submitted, including
Amendment No. 1 which corrects a number of minor errors and omissions in the final report. The
Administration does not support the amendment recommended by the G.O. Bond Oversight
Committee to delete the roadway repaying in favor of additional acorn lighting. This is due to the fact
that The Corradino Group believes the minimum lighting standard (average of 0.6 foot candles) for
single family neighborhoods will be met by the odginal lighting plan with approximate 100-feet
staggered spacing; and because testing and analysis of the condition of the pavement indicates that
the existing pavement will be near the end of its useful life by the time the project is completed, thus
milling and resurfacing of the island's streets is necessary.
By approving the BODR, the City will officially end the planning process for this neighborhood and
finalize the design concept. It is important to note that negotiations are currently ongoing with the
Corradino Group for remaining design, bid, award and construction management services for this
neighborhood. Once completed, the preparation of formal construction drawings will commence. An
importan~/~'eature of the BODR approval is that no added input on the concept will be solicited nor
changel~hade unless formal construction design efforts uncover flaws or errors in concept.

The following changes have been issued to the Final Basis of Design Report (BODR)
dated June 13, 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.
]. Neighborhood Entries - Under the Hawthorne Avenue / 77a Street heading (p58,
p121), DELETE the text in its entirety and REPLACE with the following:
"This is one of two highly prominent intersections in the neighborhood. Treatments
should be fitting of a grand gateway. Visitors will gain their first and most lasting
impression from this view. Recommendations include:
· Pavers and Crosswalks. The actual intersection should be enhanced with
decorative pavers framed by textured crosswalks on all four sides. This will add
a measure of attractiveness to an otherv,,ise inconspicuous intersection."
2. Water Distribution System (p5, p63), REPLACE the existing paragraph with the
following:
"The City of Miami Beach Water System Master Plan specifies that approximately 4130
linear feet of cast iron mains (Priority 1 for fire flow concerns) is in need of replacement.
The Consultant estimates that these lines will cost approximately $71,167 to construct.
Similarly, the Master Plan identifies approximately 5,800 linear feet of existing
galvanized mains (Priority 2) and cast iron (Priority 3 aged cast iron) mains, as illustrated
