BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Many of the Citys infrastructure assets are near or past their useful life.A comprehensive review
of the water and wastewater infrastructure was performed in 2019, which resulted in the Water
and Sewer System Master Plan (through 2045)for addressing the necessary improvements. In
2020, the Citys 5-year Water and Sewer Capital Improvement Plan was approved to address
the most critical infrastructure needs. The projects covered by the 5-year Capital Improvement
Plan (CI P) include but are not limited to: sewer pump stations renewal and replacement(R&R),
water booster stations R&R and new construction, gravity main inflow, and infiltration, and water
main and force main replacements or improvements. Overall, the capital improvement plan
intends to provide a roadmap to implement improvements for a more resilient, robust, and
future-proofed water and wastewater infrastructure.
ANALYSIS
On January 20, 2022, the Mayor and City Commission authorized the issuance of Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) 2022-122-ND for Engineering Services for Water and Wastewater
Systems Projects. On January 28, 2022, the RFQ was issued. A voluntary pre-proposal
conference to provide information to proposers submitting a response was held on February 10,
2022. The Department issued bid notes to 17,980 companies through the e-procurement
system, with 138 prospective bidders accessing the advertised solicitation. RFQ responses
were due and received on March 25, 2022. The City received a total of 19 proposals from the
following firms:
• 300 Engineering Group, P.A.
• A&P Consulting Transportation Engineers Corp.
• AECOM Technical Services, Inc.
• Ardurra Group, Inc.
• Black&Veatch Corporation
• Calvin, Giordano&Associate, Inc.
• CPH Inc.
• EXP U.S. Services, Inc.
• Gannett Fleming, Inc.
• Hazen and Sawyer, P.C.
• HDR Engineering, Inc.

On February 24, 2022, the City Manager appointed the Evaluation Committee via LTC # 073-
Page 28 of 1232
2022. The Evaluation Committee convened on April 11, 2022, to consider the proposals
received. The Committee was comprised of Mariana Evora,Assistant Director of Infrastructure,
Public Works Department; Giancarlo Pena,Assistant City Engineer, Public Works Department;
and_Luis Soto, Senior Principal Engineer, Public Works Department.
The Committee was provided an overview of the project and information relative to the City's
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 ranking of proposers as
indicated in Attachment A.
Currently, the estimate of projects to be implemented through 2027 is approximately $230
million. Because of the significant amount of work to be implemented, staff believes it is prudent
to award more than one primary firm. Therefore, staff recommends awarding the first- and
second-ranked firms, Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. and A & P Consulting Transportation Engineers
Corp., respectively, as co-primaries. Projects awarded to the co-primaries are not limited to the
limits established in Section 287.055(2)(g), Florida Statutes; however, projects that exceed the
thresholds established in the statute shall require prior City Commission approval.
Further, to assist with smaller projects or tasks which likely will be required, staff also recommends
establishing a pool of firms to whom projects can be awarded pursuant to the limits established in
Section 287.055(2)(g), Florida Statutes. Task orders for projects that exceed the limits established in
the referenced statute shall not be allowed. Task orders for projects awarded pursuant to the pool
may be approved by the City Manager or designee in accordance with City policy.
A summary of each firm is available upon request.
SUPPORTING SURVEY DATA
N/A
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The City is working to execute the Water and Sewer 5-Year Critical Needs Plan, approved by
Commission in 2020. The total Water and Sewer 5-Year Critical Needs Plan through 2027 is
estimated at $230 million, and approximately $80 million worth of projects are currently
underway.
CONCLUSION
After reviewing all of the submissions and the Evaluation Committee's rankings, I note that the
Evaluation Committee has found Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. and A& P Consulting Transportation
Engineers Corp.to be the top-and second-ranked firms, respectively, responding to the RFQ.
For the last five years, Hazen and Sawyer has been the incumbent Prime Proposer providing
the City with subject matter expertise on its water and wastewater systems projects. Hence, it is
very well qualified and has demonstrated extensive experience with City projects and with
projects of other agencies in the Tri-County area. Hazen and Sawyer has assembled an
extensive local team of qualified professionals ready to meet the City s current and future
needs. A & P Consulting Transportation Engineers Corp. is a local company with significant
Page 29 of 1232
experience in water and sewer projects, including some completed in the City of Miami Beach.
Its proposal demonstrates its ability to move projects along various phases such as planning,
design, and construction. Moreover, its experience involves a diverse range of scopes of work,
such as pump stations, pipelines, and emergencies. Finally, the firm has demonstrated its ability
to be reliable and able to provide permitting assistance.
Further, I concur with staffs recommendation to award a contract, as co-primary firms, Hazen
and Sawyer, P.C. and A & P Consulting Transportation Engineers Corp., the first and second-
ranked firms, respectively. Doing so will allow the Administration to more effectively address the
large number of projects requiring implementation. Additionally, I recommend the following seven
(7) firms, based on the City's anticipated needs and potential volume of work, be approved to
participate in the pool of prequalified consultants to assist with smaller engagements relating to water
and wastewater work in accordance with Section 287.055(2)(g), Florida Statutes: Ardurra Group,
Inc., Kinmley-Hom and Associates, Inc., 300 Engineering Group, P.A., Nova Consulting, Stantec
Consulting Services, Inc., Chen Moore and Associates, Inc., and AECOM Technical Services, Inc.
Based on the foregoing, I recommend that the Mayor and City Commission approve the
Resolution authorizing the Administration to enter into negotiations with Hazen and Sawyer, P.C.,
the first-ranked proposer, and A & P Consulting Transportation Engineers Corp., the second-
ranked proposer, to serve as co-primary consultants. Further, the Resolution authorizes the
Administration to negotiate with the following firms to establish a pool of prequalified consultants
for specific tasks relating to water and wastewater projects: Ardurra Group, Inc., as the third-
ranked proposer, Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc., as the fourth-ranked proposer, 300
Engineering Group, P.A., as the fifth-ranked proposer, Nova Consulting and Stantec Consulting
Services, Inc., as the tied sixth-ranked proposers, Chen Moore and Associates, Inc., as the
eight-ranked proposer, and AECOM Technical Services, Inc., as the ninth-ranked proposer.
Finally, the Resolution authorizes the City Manager and City Clerk to execute an agreement
upon conclusion of successful negotiations by the Administration and the City Attorneys Office.
