Dear Ms. Dixon:
Eight bids were received at the January 6, 2004 bid opening for the above referenced project.
The City's Procurement Department prepared a bid tabulation, a copy of which is enclosed.
The Base Bid for this project involves the construction of a water booster pump station. It
includes the installation of a 20-inch diameter watermain on the MacArthur Causeway Bridge
and tying the new watermain into then new pump station and the existing water distribution
system. It is the intent to award the contract to the lowest qualified bidder with the experience
and the ability to complete the project.
The bidders on the project are as follows:
Bidders
1. Widell, Inc.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The bidders are listed in the tabulation in numerical order, with the low bidder first. The low
bidder on the project, Widell, Inc., Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has submitted a proposal that, in
our opinion, represents a realistic price for performing the work on this project. We have
reviewed the bid submittal from Widell, Inc. and find it to be responsive.
Widell, Inc. has been a licensed contractor for nine years. Based on the questionnaire data,
Widell, Inc. anticipated self-performing most of the work. The largest subcontract will be for
electrical by Edwards Electric Corp. which represents 6 percent of the contract value. As
reported in the Questionnaire Form the bid, Widell, Inc. has never failed to complete work
that has been awarded to them. Based on the equipment listed in the bid Widell, Inc. has the
resources to complete the project. They have submitted project information which meets the
minimum experience criteria (one wastewater plant, two pump stations- all in excess of $1.5
million dollars). These projects included structures and poured-in-place concrete. CDM
requested additional information regarding experience with multi-story glass facades which
is attached. In addition to this work, CDM has experience with Widell, Inc. on the completion
of wastewater facilities which were designed by CDM for Broward County.
We believe Widell, Inc. is a qualified contractor, with the experience and capability to
undertake the work for the construction of the water booster pump station and 20-inch
waterman. Based on the project experience submitted and their past performance on CDM
projects, Widell Associates, Inc. should be able to perform in a satisfactory and timely
manner.
Accordingly, CDM recommends the City of Miami Beach award a construction contract to
Widell Associates, Inc. in the amount of $2,602,500 for the construction of the MacArthur
Causeway 20-Inch Watermain and Terminal Island Water Booster Station.

Bid No. 50-02/03
Gentlemen:
Widell, Inc. is preparing a bid for the referenced project. This bid will be submitted without
alteration or modification. Widell, Inc. is also negotiating with the City of Miami Beach for the
award of the Water and Wastewater Pump Station Upgrade, Bid No. 10-02/03.
Since these two projects are in close proximity and would be built in the same period of time,
Widell would realize savings if the projects were awarded together instead of separately. Widell is
pleased to pass this savings on to the City of Miami Beach. Should Bid 10-02/03 be awarded at
the same time as Bid 50-02/03, then Widell would offer a credit of $ /(~)'~/DOD '----' to be
· applied to the cost of Bid 50-02~03.
We are able to save money because the same management team could be used, the same
facilities could be used, orders could be consolidated and our subcontracts could be managed
more economically. Please let us know if this approach is of interest to the City.
Sincerely,
Keith A. Pickle

ANALYSIS:
On July 8, 1992, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution 92-20540,
authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Agreement with the firm of Camp,
Dresser and McKee, Inc. (CDM), to provide architectural and engineering services for the
upgrade of the sewer and water pumping stations, and to design a new Water Booster
Pump Station, to be located south of the MacArthur Causeway. The Agreement provided
for the work to be performed in three Phases: 1- Preliminary Design, 2 - Final Design, and
3 - Services during Construction.
The proposed Pump Station, to be located at Terminal Island, South of the MacArthur
Causeway is designed to increase the water pressure to Miami Beach, remedy the less
than optimum pressure condition that exists, and meet the increasing demands for water in
the City's South District.
In September 1993, CDM essentially completed the Preliminary Design Phase for the new
Pump Station. However, due to spatial constraints, the building footprint was relocated
eastward of the existing site. This relocation resulted in changes to the piping configuration
and Additional Services to CDM to perform the additional work.
Commission Memorandum - 20-Inch Water Main on the MacArthur Causeway and Terminal Island Water Booster Pump Station Award
February 4, 2004
Page 3
On April 6, 1994, upon completion of the Preliminary Design Phase of the Project, the City
Commission authorized CDM to provide Final Design Services for the Pump Station, in
accordance with the recommendations stated in the Terminal Island Water Booster Station
Preliminary Design Phase Report dated 1994.
On June 6, 1995, the Pump Station Design, prepared by Zyscovich, Inc., was presented to,
and approved by the Design Review Board (DRB). The proposed facility consisted of the
installation of three (3) pumps within a structure, comprised of three (3) glass walls and one
(1) poured concrete wall. Following the approval by the DRB, CDM proceeded with the
Design Development of the proposed Pump Station, which was essentially completed in
1996. However, the one (1) year term of the DRB approval expired on June 6, 1996. The
Pump Station construction was delayed for two reasons. First, the City's negotiations to
obtain the land rights from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the land
Owner, took longer than anticipated; and was finally granted in October 1999. Second, the
City decided not to design the extension of the 20-inch Water Main on the MacArthur
Causeway with in-house staff, which also contributed to the delays. The Pump Station
portion was bid as Alternate No. 3 in the Bid awarded to Felix Equities, in February 1999,
for the Water and Wastewater Pump Stations Upgrades Project. However, the alternate
was not awarded to Felix Equities Inc., because of the land ownership issue and due to the
decision to combine the Pump Station with the associated 20-inch Water Main, (the
Project).
In 2000, the City formally re-packaged the Pump-Station into a new stand alone project
with the inclusion of approximately 2,600 linear feet of 20-inch water main from the Booster
Station to the mainland, and east to Alton Road. The revised Scope of Work for the
construction documents included the relocation of the Pump Station to the land granted to
the City by FDOT; the Civil, Mechanical, HVAC, Electrical, Structural, and Architectural
components of the Project; design the 20-inch water main on the north side of the
MacArthur Causeway from the Terminal Island stub-out to the 20-inch water main on West
Avenue; and had to include Geotechnical investigations and Survey. From 2000 to 2003
the project was in the design process which included several modifications as well as
adjustments to the relocation of the building and re-submittals to the DRB.
Bid Analysis:
On July 11, 2003, the Project permits and pre-approvals were obtained. On October 3,
2003, Invitation to Bid No. 50-02/03 was issued by the City, via BidNet, for the construction
of the 20-inch Water Main on the MacArthur Causeway and Terminal Island Water Booster
Pump Station Project. A Pre-Bid Conference was held on October 21,2003. Subsequently,
four Addenda were issued to address the numerous questions from prospective bidders.
One of the Addenda also postponed the Bid-opening date to January 6, 2004. Notices
were sent to prospective bidders, resulting in the City's receipt of eight (8) responsive bids,
on January 6, 2004, as follows:

** Bid Amount may be reduced (by $104,000) to $2,498,500 if Widell, Inc., is issued the
two Notices-to-Proceed simultaneously on both the MacArthur Causeway 20-inch Water
Main Project, and the Waste Water Pump Stations Upgrade Project (awarded on January
14, 2004).
The CIP Office, with the Procurement Division, and CDM, the City's Consultant, have
evaluated the responses to the Invitation to Bid No. 50-02/03 (Attachment "A"), and
determined that Widell, Inc., is the lowest and best bidder.
Widell is also the Contractor selected to complete the Water and Waste Water Pump
Station Upgrades Project, previously undertaken and defaulted on by Felix Equities, Inc.
(FEI). Widell's ability to provide the City with a more competitive Bid price for the MacArthur
Causeway 20-inch Water Main and Terminal Island Water Booster Pump Station Project,
is evidenced in their letter submitted to the Procurement Division prior to the opening of Bid
No. 50-02/03 for the MacArthur Causeway 20-inch Water Main and Terminal Island Water
Booster Pump Station Project (Attachment "B"). The letter offers a credit of $104,000, to
be applied to Bid No. 50-02/03, if said bid is awarded at the same time as Bid No. 10-
02/03, for the Water and Wastewater Pump Station Upgrade (replacement of FEI
Contract).
The acceptance of Widell's offer is in the City's best interest, and the credit applies
Commission Memorandum - 20-Inch Water Main on the MacArthur Causeway and Terminal Island Water Booster Pump Station Award
February 4, 2004
Page 5
provided that the Notices-to-Proceed for both Projects are issued simultaneously. In letting
the Projects together, Widell has the potential to provide more competitive prices on items
such as mobilization, material storage, and off site parking for the already limited Terminal
Island Water Booster Pump Station site. Since Widell is the lowest and best bidder
regardless of their $104,000 credit offer, the deduct is allowable pursuant to bid terms and
provisions, Item No. 33 of the General Conditions, labeled "Value Engineering".
The Scope of Work includes the furnishing of all materials, labor, equipment, supervision,
mobilization, overhead & profit required to construct a new water booster pump station with
two (2) 250-HP vertical turbine pumps, squirrel cage induction motors, variable frequency
drives and all related fittings and appurtenances. Electrical controls with 400 KVA 3-Phase
emergency generator connections, control panels, all housed in a two-story structure with
an aluminum framed storefront window system, related HVAC system, and remote
connections through SCADA circuits to the Central Office Control Room at the Public
Works Operations Yard, located at 450 Dade Blvd. The Project also includes installation of
the associated yard piping, which consists of approximately 325 linear feet of 30-inch pipe;
the site landscaping; and the station's associated 20-inch diameter water main, to be
suspended along the north side of the MacArthur Causeway for an approximate distance of
2,600 linear feet, where it will connect to the City's existing water distribution system at the
intersection of West Avenue.
Construction Administration Services:
The City has negotiated with CDM, the fees for the Construction Administration Services.
Concurrent with the recommendation to award the construction contract to Widell, Inc., the
Administration recommends the approval of Amendment No. 12 to the existing Agreement
between the City of Miami Beach and CDM dated July 21, 1992 for Professional Services
for the Upgrade of Sewer & Water Pumping Stations and a new Water Pumping Station at
the MacArthur Causeway, to now provide the necessary Architectural, Engineering and
Construction Administration Services for the MacArthur Causeway 20-inch Water Main and
Terminal Island Water Booster Pump Station (the Project).
CDM's responsibilities under the Amendment No 12, (Attachment "C") for Construction
Administration Services will include, but are not limited to, the preparation and delivery of
As-Bid Contract Documents, attending pre-construction conferences; attending weekly
construction meetings; attending on site meetings; preparing status reports; reviewing and
making recommendations regarding the contractor's request for changes to the
construction cost and/or schedule; reviewing shop drawings, samples and submittals;
performing field observation and reporting services by the design engineer; performing
project quality control/management; monitoring of the construction activities by a Resident
Project Representative; reviewing quantities installed, payment applications and schedule;
coordinating equipment start-up and providing assistance; performing project close out
activities, warranty administration; and preparing record drawings.
The Contract Documents specify that the work shall be substantially completed within four
hundred and twenty (420) calendar days ( approximately 14 months) from the issuance of
Commission Memorandum o 20-Inch Water Main on the MacArthur Causeway and Terminal Island Water Booster Pump Station Award
February 4, 2004

the second Notice to Proceed, and finally completed within sixty (60) calendar days
thereafter, for a total of approximately sixteen (16) months. CDM's Construction
Administration Services Agreement with the City shall be provided concurrently with this
schedule, for up to twenty (20) months, (allowing two (2) months for the Notices to
Proceed, and an additional two (2) months contingency for potential changes to the
construction schedule). If additional services are required due to delays in the construction
they will be addressed at that time. CDM's Notice to Proceed shall be contingent upon the
execution of the construction contract for the Project.
The Contractor will be required to provide a Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) Plan for the
installation of the water main, and to maintain access to the Coast Guard facility during the
construction of the pump station. The City's Fleet, Sanitation, Parking, and ClP
Departments have coordinated the use of the site during the construction. The Parking
Department will implement a decal parking program for City employees throughout the
duration of the construction.
CIP staff has held several meetings both on, and off-site, with several entities, including
Bernuth Agencies, Inc., (shipping company), Sun Terminal (shipping company), Fisher
Island Community Association, Miami Beach Transportation Management Association
(BTMA), The Bentley Group, and the US Coast Guard. These meetings were held to
develop a coordinated plan with all entities that may be affected bythe construction, and to
organize the use of the site construction "work zone" and parking areas.
Affirmation of the Land Development Regulations:
The Planning Department staff reviewed the criteria for the development of the site and
made a recommendation to the DRB. Pursuant to Section 142-425(a) of the Land
Development Regulations applicable to the Terminal Island Water Booster Pump Station
Project site, as set forth in the Planning Department Memo dated March 17, 2003
(Attachment "D"), the Project was found to be in compliance with those regulations of the I-
1, Light Industrial District, as they pertain to:
Setback Requirements
· Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
· Maximum Permitted Height
· Minimum Lot Area and Width Requirements
Parking Requirements
Since the site was conveyed by FDOT to the City of Miami Beach for the construction of
the pumping station, it was converted from the "Light Industrial District" to Government
Use (GU) District, pursuant to Section 142-425(a) of the City Code. On March 18, 2003,
since the previous DRB approval had expired, the Project was presented for a second time
and approved by the DRB.
Based upon the abovementioned criteria, the Administration recommends the award of the
construction contract to Widell, Inc., for the construction of the MacArthur Causeway 20-
Commission Memorandum - 20-Inch Water Main on the MacArthur Causeway and Terminal Island Water Booster Pump Station Award
