review, or consider any Services performed by Consultant (including, without limitation,
contractors, other design professionals, and/or other consultants retained by the City), the intent

expertise to identify any discrepancies, errors or omissions that are inconsistent with industry

any Subconsultants).

shall be deemed to be a Basic Service under this Agreement and shall also be deemed to be
within the scope of services delineated in Schedule A (whether or not specifically addressed in
the Scope of Services). Mere notice by Consultant to the Project Administrator shall not constitute
authorization or approval by the City to perform such work. Performance of any such work and/or
services by Consultant without the prior written consent of the Project Administrator shall be
undertaken at Consultant's sole risk and liability.
2.16 Consultant shall establish, maintain, and categorize any and all Project documents and

PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT PRECLUDE THE
CITY FROM DECLARING CONSULTANT IN DEFAULT FOR CONSULTANT'S FAILURE TO
PERFORM SUCH OBLIGATION, NOR SHALL IT LIMIT, IN ANY WAY, THE CITY'S RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THE CONSULTANT EXPRESSLY
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES NOT TO RAISE OR ASSERT AS DEFENSE TO ANY
CLAIM, ACTION, SUIT AND/OR OTHER PROCEEDING OF A SIMILAR NATURE, THE CITY'S
PARTICIPATION, ASSISTANCE AND/OR FACILITATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF
CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS. INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ASSISTING WITH
OBTAINING PERMITS OR WITH COORDINATION WITH UTILITIES, OR OTHER MATTERS
RELATED TO THE PROJECT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THIS SECTION
AND/OR ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER CONTRACT
DOCUMENTS, THIS SECTION SHALL GOVERN.
2.18 GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS: The Consultant shall comply with the requirements
of Section 255.2575, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 100 of the City Code, as both may be
amended from time to time, addressing applicable Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) compliance requirements.
2.19 SUBCONSULTANTS: All services provided by Subconsultants shall be consistent with
those commitments made by the Consultant in its Proposal and during the competitive solicitation
selection process and interview. Such services shall be undertaken and performed pursuant to
appropriate written agreements between the Consultant and the Subconsultants, which shall
contain provisions that preserve and protect the rights of the City under this Agreement. Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between the City and the
Subconsultants.
The Consultant shall not retain, add, or replace any Subconsultant without the prior written
approval of the City Manager, in response to a written request from the Consultant stating the
reasons for any proposed substitution. The Consultant shall cause the names of Subconsultants
responsible for significant portions of the Services to be inserted on the plans and specifications.
The Consultant shall be ultimately responsible for ensuring the Consultant's and all of its
Subconsultants' compliance with the requirements of this Section and any other provision of the
Agreement and/or Consultant Service Order. With respect to the performance of work by
Subconsultants, the Consultant shall, in approving and accepting such work, ensure the
professional quality, completeness, and coordination of the Subconsultant's work.
The Consultant shall, upon the request of the City, submit to the City such documentation and
information as the City reasonably requests to evidence the creation, standing, ownership and
professional licensure of the Consultant (and Subconsultants), including organizational
documents, operating agreements and professional licensure documentation, and copies of the
Consultant's contracts with the Subconsultant with respect to the Project. However, the City's
failure to request such documentation or evidence and/or failure to enforce in any way the terms
and provisions of this Section, the Agreement and/or any other Consultant Service Order during
the Project does not excuse, waive and/or condone in any way any noncompliance of the
12

contract no. 23-016-01
requirements set forth therein including, without limitation, the professional licensure
requirements. Any approval of a Subconsultant by the City shall in no way shift from the
Consultant to City the responsibility for the quality and acceptability of the services performed by
the Subconsultant. Payment of Subconsultants shall be the sole responsibility of the Consultant,
and shall not be cause for any increase in compensation to the Consultant for payment of the
Services.

ARTICLE 4. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONSTRUCTION COST
The City has established a Construction Cost Budget for the Project, set forth in Schedule D.
Subject to the Standard of Care, Consultant will design the Project within the Construction Cost
Budget for the Project. As part of the Basic Services, Consultant shall design and/or re -design
the Project to the Construction Cost Budget in accordance with this Article 4, making all revisions
necessary to maintain the Construction Cost Budget. Consultant shall attend meetings with the
City to review and discuss cost estimates, cost -saving alternatives, and implementation or
revision of the Design Documents and Construction Documents to address such items, as
necessary to meet the established budget parameters set forth in the City Construction Budget.
4.2. Consultant shall provide and/or update the Statement of Probable Construction Cost at
each stage of completion of the Design Documents and at completion of the Construction
Documents, unless otherwise specified in a written directive of the Project Administrator.
4.2.1. At completion of the conceptual design (at such stage of completion of the Design
Documents as may be specified by the Project Administrator), Consultant shall provide the City a
Statement of Probable Construction Cost, which must include an estimated Construction Cost for
the Project within a range of plus or minus fifteen percent (+/-15%) of the Construction Cost
Budget. If at the foregoing stage of design the Consultant's Statement of Probable Construction
Cost exceeds the City's Construction Budget by more than fifteen percent (15%), then the Project
Administrator shall provide notice thereof to the Consultant. Consultant shall then identify the
cause(s) for the difference and recommend in writing for the City's approval any modification in
the Design Documents necessary to conform to the Consultant's estimated total costs in the
Statement of Probable Construction Cost to within fifteen percent (15%) of the City's Construction
Budget. Upon obtaining City's approval of any proposed modifications, Consultant shall
incorporate such modifications within the Design Documents as part of the Basic Services and at
no additional cost to the City. .
4.2.2. At the 30% and 60% completion of the Design Documents, Consultant shall update its
Statement of Probable Construction Cost, which must include an estimated Construction Cost for
the Project within a range of plus or minus ten percent (+/-10%) of the Construction Cost Budget.
If at the foregoing stages of design the Consultant's Statement of Probable Construction Cost
exceeds the City's Construction Budget by more than ten percent (10%), the Project Administrator
shall provide notice thereof to the Consultant. Consultant shall then identify the cause(s) for the
difference and recommend in writing for the City's approval any modification in the Design
Documents necessary to conform to the Consultant's estimated total costs in the Statement of
Probable Construction Cost to within ten percent (10%) of the City's Construction Budget. Upon
obtaining City's approval of any proposed modifications, Consultant shall incorporate such
modifications within the Design Documents as part of the Basic Services and at no additional cost
to the City.
4.2.3. At the 90% stage completion of the Design Documents and at completion of the
Construction Documents, Consultant shall update its Statement of Probable Construction Cost,
which must include an estimated Construction Cost for the Project within a range of plus or minus
five percent (+/-5%) of the Construction Cost Budget. If at the foregoing stages of design the
Consultant's Statement of Probable Construction Cost exceeds the City's Construction Budget
by more than five percent (5%), the Project Administrator shall provide notice thereof to the
Consultant. Consultant shall then identify the cause(s) for the difference and recommend in
writing for the City's approval any modification in the Design Documents necessary to conform to
15
DocuSign Envelope ID: 24C42855-9598-4E5F-878D-A31 F8BC63F07
contract no. 23-016-01
the Consultant's estimated total costs in the Statement of Probable Construction Cost to within
five percent (5%) of the City's Construction Budget. Upon obtaining the City's approval,
Consultant shall promptly modify the Design Documents or Construction Documents within the
time period specified by the Project Administrator (which time period for completion shall not
exceed ninety (90) days from the date Consultant is notified to re -design), as part of the Basic
Services and at no additional cost to the City.
4.2.4. To ensure that the Construction Cost shall not exceed the City's Construction Budget,
each Statement of Probable Construction Cost shall be in sufficient detail to identify the costs of
each element and include a breakdown of the fees, general conditions and a reasonable and
appropriate construction contingency.
4.3. Consultant shall certify and warrant to the City that the Statement of Probable Construction
Cost and any update thereto, represents Consultant's best judgment of the Construction Cost for
the Project as an experienced design professional familiar with the construction industry,
provided, however, that due to factors beyond the reasonable control and knowledge of the
Consultant, including, but not limited to, unanticipated rises in the cost of labor, materials or
equipment, changes in market or negotiating conditions, and supply chain forces, Consultant
cannot (and does not) guarantee that bids or negotiated prices will not vary from any estimates
of Construction Cost or other cost evaluation(s) prepared (or otherwise provided) by Consultant.
4.4 If the lowest and best Base Bid exceeds the Consultant's final updated Statement of
Probable Cost by more than ten percent (10%), the Project Administrator shall provide notice
thereof to the Consultant, and the Consultant shall re -design the Project within the Project Scope,
construction schedule, sequence of Work, or such other action, as deemed necessary, to reduce
the Statement of Probable Construction Cost, and Consultant shall provide any required revisions
to the Contract Documents (including, without limitation, the Construction Documents) within the
time period specified by the Project Administrator (which time period for completion shall not
exceed ninety (90) days from the date Consultant is notified to re -design), and shall provide re-
bidding services, as many times as may be reasonably requested by the City, as part of the Basic
Services and at no additional cost to the City, in order to bring any resulting, responsive and
responsible bids within ten percent (10%) of the Consultant's final updated Statement of Probable
Cost.
4.5. The Construction Cost Budget shall not be exceeded without fully justifiable,
extraordinary, and unforeseen circumstances (such as Force Majeure) which are beyond the
control of the parties. Any expenditure above this amount shall be subject to prior City
Commission approval which, if granted at all, shall be at the sole and reasonable discretion of the
City Commission. The City Commission shall have no obligation to approve an increase in the
Construction Cost Budget and, if such Construction Cost Budget is exceeded, the City
Commission may, at its sole and absolute discretion, terminate this Agreement (and the remaining
Services) without any further liability to the City.
4.6. The City Commission may, at its sole and absolute discretion, and without relieving
Consultant of its obligations under this Agreement to design the Project to the Construction Cost
Budget as set forth in Sections 4.1 through 4.5 above, separately elect any of the following
options: (1) approve an increase to the Construction Cost Budget; (2) reject all bids, and (at its
option) authorize rebidding of the Project; (3) abandon the Project and terminate the remaining
Services without any further liability to the City; (4) select as many deductive alternatives as may
be necessary to bring the lowest and best bid within the Construction Cost Budget.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Alina T. Hudak, City Manager
DATE: April 28, 2023
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
NO. 2023-016-WG BEACH WALK PROTECTIVE BOLLARDS
CONSULTING SERVICES; AUTHORIZING THE ADMINISTRATION TO
NEGOTIATE WITH GANNETT FLEMING, INC., AS THE SOLE PROPOSER;
AND FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER AND CITY CLERK
TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT UPON CONCLUSION OF SUCCESSFUL
NEGOTIATIONS BYTHE ADMINISTRATION.
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Resolution authorizing the
Administration to negotiate with Gannett Fleming, Inc., the sole proposer for Request for
Proposals (RFQ) 2023-016-WG. The Resolution also authorizes the City Manager and City
Clerk to execute an Agreement upon successful negotiations by the Administration.
This solicitation is currently under the cone of silence.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY .
The Miami Beach Recreational Corridor, commonly referred to as the Beach Walk, runs parallel
to the oceanfront from South Pointe Park to north 87th Terrace. Currently, Section 70-67 of the
City Code prohibits the use of any motorized means of transportation along the length of the
Beach Walk.
Over the years, there have been several discussions about the safety of pedestrians and
cyclists along the Beach Walk. Different user groups, including the Mid -Beach Neighborhood
Association (MBNA), have voiced concerns about the potential of vehicles to access the Beach
Walk and cause harm to pedestrians or cyclists.
In October 2020, the Facilities and Fleet Management Department was charged with
developing a project to design and deploy protective bollards at vulnerable areas along the
entire length of the Beach Walk. The Department engaged a safety and security consultant to
complete a study that included preliminary assessments, potential options for vehicle barriers
and alternate mitigation measures. The study was necessary,to assess options and establish
Page 76 of 991
DocuSign Envelope ID: 24C42855-9598-4E5F-878D-A31 F8BC63F07
funding.
Through the RFQ, the Facilities and Fleet Management Department seeks a consultant to
create the necessary plans and specifications to install barriers to vehicle access along the
Beach Walk. The most likely barrier is a bollard system that maximizes security and design. The
required scope of work pursuant to the RFQ may include but not be limited to bollard design,
construction documents, specifications, cost estimating and scheduling, project schedule
estimating, and construction administration.
ANALYSIS
On December 14, 2022, the Mayor and City Commission approved the issuance of the
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 2023-016-WG for Beach Walk Protective Bollards
Consulting Services. The Procurement Department issued bid notices to 27,893 companies
utilizing the City's e-procurement system, with 59 prospective bidders accessing the solicitation.
RFQ responses were due and received on February 21, 2023. The City received a sole
proposal from Gannett Fleming, Inc. Staff believes that the limited response is attributed to the
services being a niche sector that requires very specific experience relating to vehicle barriers in
public places.
On March 28, 2023, the evaluation committee appointed by the City Manager convened to
consider the proposal received. The committee was comprised of Francisco Garcia, Division
Director, Facilities and Fleet Management; Adel Guitian, Sr. Capital Projects Coordinator,
Capital Improvement Projects; Giancarlo Pena, Assistant City Engineer, Public Works
Department; Kevin Pulido, Neighborhood Affairs Division Director, Communications
Department; and Francys Vallecillo, Assistant Director, Tourism & Culture Department.
The committee was provided an overview of the project and information relative to the 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 the proposal.
The evaluation committee determined that Gannet Fleming Inc. was well qualified and should
be considered for negotiations (see Attachment A). Below is a short bio of the firm based on
information in its proposal.
Gannett Fleming, Inc. has provided architectural, engineering, and construction services since
1915. The firm has a team of professionals that specialize in security and public safety experts
provide risk management and technical and executive leadership to help agencies develop the
security and safety programs needed. The firm is experiences in addressing disaster risks to
vital assets, systems, and networks imperative to the health and safety of constituents. The firm
partners with businesses, communities, and governmental agencies at every level to address
threats. Additionally, the firm includes LEED-certified professionals on projects that are
dedicated to using sustainable practices and has been named one of the top 100 green building
design firms in the U.S. Gannett Fleming, Inc boasts client satisfaction rankings of over 90%.
The firm has worked with the City of Miami Beach since 2012 on several traffic and safety
projects.

The design services for this project will be completed in phases. The Facilities and Fleet
Management Department estimates $139,000 for the initial project phase; however, funding for
subsequent phases must be requested through the capital budget process. It is estimated that
construction resulting from these design services would cost approximately $5,000,000. This
amount includes factors for construction cost escalation and additional contingencies. Design
fees will be established through the negotiation process. Services pursuant to the award of this
RFQ shall be subject to funding availability which is contingent on approval through the Citys
capital budget process. Grant funds are not anticipated to be utilized for these services.
Amount(s)/Acount(s):
Design: Funding available in the amount of $139,000 is available in 520-1720-000674-29-422-000-
00-00-00-
Construction: Funding, in the amount of $5,000,000, subject to approval through the capital budget
process for project 62523
After reviewing the submission and staff's comments, it is evident that Gannett Fleming, Inc.
has the experience necessary to provide the City with bollard consulting services that will result
in enhanced protections with an aesthetically pleasing design for the Beach Walk. Gannett
Fleming, Inc. has worked with several large public and private sector organizations across the
U.S. and provides design, architectural, and construction administration services that will allow
the city to install protective bollards on the Beach Walk in line with the city's aesthetic and safety
needs. In 2021, Gannet Fleming, Inc. provided services to the City for preliminary work
regarding the installation of vehicle barriers to promote a safe environment for Miami Beach
patrons on the Beach Walk. Other City of Miami Beach projects facilitated by Gannet Fleming,
Inc. include the Transportation Master Plan, West Avenue Bridge Traffic and Safety, and the
Design Variation Memorandum Report following FDOT guidelines for installing Bike Lanes
across the intersections of 72 St. and 73 St. and S R A 1 A.
Therefore, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the
Resolution authorizing the Administration to negotiate with Gannett Fleming, Inc., the sole
proposer for Request for Proposals (RFQ) 2023-016-WG, and, further, authorizing the City
Manager and City Clerk to execute an Agreement upon successful negotiations by the
Administration.

Agreement and any Consultant Service Orders, do not delineate every detail and minor
work task required to be performed by Consultant to complete the work and/or services
described and delineated under Schedule A and any Consultant Service Orders issued to
Consultant by the City. If, during the course of performing work, services and/or tasks,

Consultant's reasonable opinion, outside the level of effort originally anticipated, then
Consultant shall promptly notify the Project Administrator, in writing, and shall obtain the
Project Administrator's written consent before proceeding with such work and/or services.
If Consultant proceeds with any such additional work and/or services without obtaining the

deemed to be a Basic Service under this Agreement and shall also be deemed to be within
the scope of services delineated in Schedule A (whether or not specifically addressed in
the Scope of Services). Mere notice by Consultant to the Project Administrator shall not
constitute authorization or approval by the City to perform such work. Performance of any
such work and/or services by Consultant without the prior written consent of the Project
Administrator shall be undertaken at Consultant's sole risk and liability.
2.16 Consultant shall establish, maintain, and categorize any and all Project documents

PERFORM IN ANY WAY THE CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE
AGREEMENT OR OTHER CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION,
FACILITATION AND/OR ASSISTANCE TO THE CONSULTANT SHALL BE AT ITS
SOLE DISCRETION AND SHALL NOT, IN ANY WAY, BE CONSTRUED,
INTERPRETED AND/OR CONSTITUTE AN ASSUMPTION BY THE CITY OF
CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS, A WAIVER OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS
AND/OR EXCUSE ANY BREACH BY CONSULTANT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER
THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. THE PARTICIPATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF
ANY OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT PRECLUDE THE CITY FROM
DECLARING CONSULTANT IN DEFAULT FOR CONSULTANT'S FAILURE TO
PERFORM SUCH OBLIGATION, NOR SHALL IT LIMIT, IN ANY WAY, THE CITY'S
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THE CONSULTANT
EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES NOT TO RAISE OR ASSERT AS
DEFENSE TO ANY CLAIM, ACTION, SUIT AND/OR OTHER PROCEEDING OF A
SIMILAR NATURE, THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION, ASSISTANCE AND/OR
FACILITATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS.

2.19 SUBCONSULTANTS: All services provided by Subconsultants shall be consistent
with those commitments made by the Consultant in its Proposal and during the competitive
solicitation selection process and interview. Such services shall be undertaken and
performed pursuant to appropriate written agreements between the Consultant and the
Subconsultants, which shall contain provisions that preserve and protect the rights of the
City under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any
contractual relationship between the City and the Subconsultants.
The Consultant shall not retain, add, or replace any Subconsultant without the prior written
approval of the City Manager, in response to a written request from the Consultant stating
the reasons for any proposed substitution. The Consultant shall cause the names of
Subconsultants responsible for significant portions of the Services to be inserted on the
plans and specifications.
The Consultant shall be ultimately responsible for ensuring the Consultant's and all of its
Subconsultants' compliance with the requirements of this Section and any other provision

work by Subconsultants, the Consultant shall, in approving and accepting such work,
ensure the professional quality, completeness, and coordination of the Subconsultant's
work.
The Consultant shall, upon the request of the City, submit to the City such documentation
and information as the City reasonably requests to evidence the creation, standing,
ownership and professional licensure of the Consultant (and Subconsultants), including
organizational documents, operating agreements and professional licensure
documentation, and copies of the Consultant's contracts with the Subconsultant with
respect to the Project. However, the City's failure to request such documentation or
evidence and/or failure to enforce in any way the terms and provisions of this Section, the
Agreement and/or any other Consultant Service Order during the Project does not excuse,
waive and/or condone in any way any noncompliance of the requirements set forth therein
including, without limitation, the professional licensure requirements. Any approval of a
Subconsultant by the City shall in no way shift from the Consultant to City the responsibility
for the quality and acceptability of the services performed by the Subconsultant. Payment
of Subconsultants shall be the sole responsibility of the Consultant, and shall not be cause
for any increase in compensation to the Consultant for payment of the Services.
ARTICLE 3. THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITIES

construction industry, provided, however, that Consultant cannot (and does not)
guarantee that bids or negotiated prices will not vary from any estimates of Construction
Cost or other cost evaluation(s) prepared (or otherwise provided) by Consultant.

of Probable Cost by more than ten percent (10%), the Project Administrator shall provide
notice thereof to the Consultant, and the Consultant shall re -design the Project within the

of the City Commission. The City Commission shall have no obligation to approve an

commencing on January 1, 2021, Consultant shall register with
and use the E-Verify system to verify the work authorization
status of all newly hired employees during the Term of the
Agreement. Additionally, Consultant shall expressly require
any subconsultant performing work or providing services
pursuant to the Agreement to likewise utilize the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system to verify
the employment eligibility of all new employees hired by the
subconsultant during the contract Term. If Consultant enters
into a contract with an approved subconsultant, the
subconsultant must provide the Consultant with an affidavit
stating that the subconsultant does not employ, contract with, or
subcontract with an unauthorized alien. Consultant shall
maintain a copy of such affidavit for the duration of the
Agreement or such other extended period as may be required
under this Agreement.
18.5.3.2 TERMINATION RIGHTS.
18.5.3.2.1 If the City has a good faith belief that Consultant has
knowingly violated Section 448.09(1), Florida Statutes, the City
shall terminate this Agreement with Consultant for cause, and
the City shall thereafter have or owe no further obligation or
liability to Consultant.
18.5.3.2.2 If the City has a good faith belief that a
subconsultant has knowingly violated the foregoing Subsection 18.5.3.1 but
the Consultant otherwise complied with such subsection, the City
will promptly notify the Consultant and order the Consultant to
immediately terminate the Agreement with the subconsultant.
Consultant's failure to terminate a subconsultant shall be an
event of default under this Agreement, entitling City to terminate the
Consultant's contract for cause.
18.5.3.2.3 A contract terminated under the foregoing
Subsection 18.5.3.2.1 or 18.5.3.2.2 is not in breach of contract and may not

be considered as such.
18.5.3.2.4 The City or Consultant or a subconsultant may file
an action with the Circuit or County Court to challenge a
termination underthe foregoing Subsection 18.5.3.2.1 or 18.5.3.2.2 no later
than 20 calendar days after the date on which the contract was
terminated.
18.5.3.2.5 If the City terminates the Agreement with Consultant
under the foregoing Subsection 18.5.3.2.1 Consultant may not
be awarded a public contract for at least 1 year after the date of
termination of this Agreement.
18.5.3.2.6 Consultant is liable for any additional costs incurred
by the City as a result of the termination of this Agreement under
this Section 18.5.3.
18.6 FORCE MAJEURE:
18.6.1 A "Force Majeure" event is an event that (i) in fact causes a delay in the
performance of the Consultant or the City's obligations under the Agreement, and
(ii) is beyond the reasonable control of such party unable to perform the obligation,
and (iii) is not due to an intentional act, error, omission, or negligence of such party,
and (iv) could not have reasonably been foreseen and prepared for by such parry
at any time prior to the occurrence of the event. Subject to the foregoing criteria,
Force Majeure may include events such as war, civil insurrection, riot, fires,
epidemics, pandemics, terrorism, sabotage, explosions, embargo restrictions,
quarantine restrictions, transportation accidents, strikes, strong hurricanes or
tornadoes, earthquakes, or other acts of God which prevent performance. Force
Majeure shall not include technological impossibility, inclement weather, or failure
to secure any of the required permits pursuant to the Agreement.
18.6.2 If the City or Consultant's performance of its contractual obligations is
prevented
or delayed by an event believed by to be Force Majeure, such party shall
immediately upon learning of the occurrence of the event or of the commencement
of any such delay, but in no case within fifteen (15) business days thereof, provide
notice of (i) of the occurrence of event of Force Majeure, (ii) of the nature of the
event and the cause thereof, (iii) of the anticipated impact on the Agreement, (iv)
of the anticipated period of the delay, and (v) of what course of action such party
plans to take in order to mitigate the detrimental effects of the event. The timely
delivery of the notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event is a condition
precedent to allowance of any relief pursuant to this section; however, receipt of
such notice shall not constitute acceptance that the event claimed to be a Force
Majeure event is in fact Force Majeure, and the burden of proof of the occurrence
of a Force Majeure event shall be on the requesting party.
18.6.3 No party hereto shall be liable for its failure to carry out its obligations
under the Agreement during a period when such party is rendered unable, in whole
or in part, by Force Majeure to carry out such obligations. The suspension of any
of the obligations under this Agreement due to a Force Majeure event shall be of
12/19/2022 1:50 PM p. 50
DocuSign Envelope ID: 24C42855-9598-4E5F-878D-A31F8BC63F07 v Y of Miami Beach
Bid 2023-016-WG
no greater scope and no longer duration than is required. The party shall use its
reasonable best efforts to continue to perform its obligations hereunder to the
extent such obligations are not affected or are only partially affected by the Force
Majeure event, and to correct or cure the event or condition excusing performance
and otherwise to remedy its inability to perform to the extent its inability to perform
is the direct result of the Force Majeure event with all reasonable dispatch.
18.6.4 Obligations pursuant to the Agreement that arose before the occurrence
of a Force Majeure event causing the suspension of performance shall not be
excused as a result of such occurrence unless such occurrence makes such
performance not reasonably possible. The obligation to pay money in a timely
manner for obligations and liabilities which matured prior to the occurrence of a
Force Majeure event shall not be subject to the Force Majeure provisions.
18.6.5 Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, in the event of
a Force Majeure occurrence, the City may, at the sole discretion of the City
Manager, suspend the City's payment obligations under the Agreement, and may
take such action without regard to the notice requirements herein. Additionally, in
the event that an event of Force Majeure delays a party's performance under the
Agreement for a time period greater than thirty (30) days, the City may, at the sole
discretion of the City Manager, terminate the Agreement on a given date, by giving
written notice to Consultant of such termination. If the Agreement is terminated
pursuant to this Section, Consultant shall be paid for any Services satisfactorily
performed up to the date of termination; following which the City shall be
discharged from any and all liabilities, duties, and terms arising out of, or by virtue
of, this Agreement. In no event will any condition of Force Majeure extend this
Agreement beyond its stated term. Any time extension shall be subject to mutual
agreement and shall not be cause for any claim by the Consultant for extra
compensation, unless Additional Services are required and approved pursuant to
Article 5 hereof.
18.7 CORRECTIONS TO CONTRACT DOCUMENTS: If applicable to the performance of
Consultant's Services, the Consultant shall prepare, without added compensation, all
necessary supplemental documents to correct errors, omissions, and/or ambiguities which
may exist in the Contract Documents prepared by Consultant, including documents
prepared by its subconsultants. Compliance with this subsection shall not be construed
to relieve the Consultant from any liability resulting from any such errors, omissions, and/or
ambiguities in the Contract Documents and other documents or Services related thereto.
18.8 ASSIGNMENT: The Consultant shall not assign, transfer or convey this
Agreement to any other person, firm, association or corporation, in whole or in part, without
the prior written consent of the City Commission, which consent, if given at all, shall be at
the Commission's sole option and discretion. However, the Consultant will be permitted to
cause portions of the Services to be performed by subconsultants, subject to the prior
written approval of the City Manager.
18.9 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: The Consultant and the City each binds
himself/herself, his/her partners, successors, legal representatives and assigns to the
other party of the Agreement and to the partners, successors, legal representatives, and
assigns of such party in respect to all covenants of this Agreement. The Consultant shall
afford the City (through the City Commission) the opportunity to approve or reject all

proposed assignees, successors or other changes in the ownership structure and
composition of the Consultant. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of this Agreement by
the Consultant.
18.10 PROVISION OF ITEMS NECESSARY TO COMPLETE SERVICES: In the
performance of the Services prescribed herein, it shall be the responsibility of the
Consultant to provide all salaries, wages, materials, equipment, subconsultants, and other
purchased services, etc., as necessary to complete said Services.
18.11 INTENT OF AGREEMENT:
18.11.1 The intent of the Agreement is for the Consultant to provide all necessary
items for the proper completion of the Services. The Consultant shall perform, as
Basic Services, such incidental work which may not be specifically referenced, as
necessary to complete the Project.
18.11.2 This Agreement is for the benefit of the parties only and it does not grant
rights to a third party beneficiary, to any person, nor does it authorize anyone not
a party to the Agreement to maintain a suit for personal injuries, professional
liability, or property damage pursuant to the terms or provisions of the Agreement.
18.11.3 No acceptance, order, payment, or certificate of or by the City, or its
employees or agents shall either stop the City from asserting any rights or operate
as a waiver of any provisions hereof or of any power or right herein reserved to
the City or of any rights to damages herein provided.
18.11.4 This document incorporates and includes all prior negotiations,
correspondence, conversations, agreements, or understandings applicable to the
matters contained herein; and the parties agree that there are no commitments,
agreements, or understandings concerning the subject matter of this Agreement
that are not contained in this document. Accordingly, the parties agree that no
deviation from the terms hereof shall be predicated upon any prior representations
or agreements whether oral or written. It is further agreed that no modification,
amendment or alteration in the terms or conditions contained herein shall be
effective unless memorialized in written document approval and executed with the
same formality and of equal dignity herewith.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have hereunto caused these presents to be
signed in their names by their duly authorized officers and principals, attested by their
respective witnesses and City Clerk on the day and year first hereinabove written.

The Consultant shall maintain the below required insurance in effect prior to awarding the
agreement and for the duration of the agreement. The maintenance of proper insurance
coverage is a material element of the agreement and failure to maintain or renew coverage

with a limit of no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or

and each employee shall hold the City harmless from any injury incurred
during performance of the Agreement. The exempt consultant shall also

they are not required to carry Workers' Compensation insurance and do not
anticipate hiring any additional employees during the term of this contract
or (ii) a copy of a Certificate of Exemption.
B. Commercial General Liability Insurance on an occurrence basis, including
products and completed operations, property damage, bodily injury and
personal & advertising injury with limits no less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence, and $2,000,000 general aggregate.

endorsement to the cosultant's insurance.
Notice of Cancellation - Each insurance policy required above shall provide that
coverage shall not be cancelled, except with notice to the City of Miami Beach c/o EXIGIS

BEACHWALK PROTECTIVE BOLLARDS CONSULTING SERVICES
Dear Mr. Garviso:
The City of Miami Beach (the City) is host to 24.2 million visitors each year through a
number of national and international events, and is a far-reaching draw of international
tourism. This contract will build upon the Beachwalk Bollards Project- Phase One
(Assessment and Basis of Design), completed by Gannett Fleming to provide a safe
environment for all of the citizens and visitors of the City with the installation of
protective bollards to create a threat deterrent system to reduce vulnerability and
maintain public safety along the Boardwalk.
This project will be completed through the performance of site assessments,
preliminary drawings, product selection, design documents, project cost estimating,
project schedule estimating, technical/performance specifications, and construction
administration to support the City's procurement and construction of the project.
Gannett Fleming is extensively familiar with these project requirements, having already
completed a vulnerability assessment and security basis of design document for the
City of Miami Beach Beachwalk.
Gannett Fleming's security and safety services include experts with extensive experience
identifying threats, performing vulnerability assessments, evaluating risk, providing
strategies, and incorporating these strategies into action for procurement, installation
and defining supporting procedures. Through our understanding and familiarization
with the project, our team will refine the basis of design, perform preliminary analysis,
develop initial design, and put together performance specifications, preliminary cost
analysis, and assist with the selection and construction over site of the proposed hostile
vehicle mitigation strategies. Our goal is to help the City mitigate the risk of these types
of attacks to ensure the protection of its people and visitors.
Gannett Fleming has a proven track record of success with the City. We understand
the challenges of the City and through our prior work, qualifications, and experience.
As a partner, the City will engage with a leading safety and security firm having the
knowledge, expertise, and ability to be the best choice to partner with the City to
fulfill your 2022-2025 mission statement to invest in resilient and intelligent public
infrastructure and complete objective 2.4.2 to prioritize projects that protect the most
critical and vulnerable areas.

Minimum Qualification Requirement: Gannett Fleming meets the minimum qualification requirements
by being registered with the State of Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation with
a Professional Engineer Rank related license. A copy of our registration will follow the executive summary.
Gannett Fleming will build upon our previous Beachwalk vulnerability assessment, basis of design, and initial concept planning
project that we completed alongside the City of Miami Beach Beachwalk stakeholders and partners. Our familiarization,
understanding, and approach will ensure a seamless transition into this next phase of protection for the Beachwalk where we
will ensure our concepts are developed into a complete design for construction and implementation to reduce risk.
From our work completed in Phase One of this project, we understand the needs for various levels of access to the
beachwalk. This includes expedited access for public safety and emergency responders, and regular access for other
city departments (such as Public Works, Sanitation, and Maintenance), and certain authorized vendors. During the
Basis of Design, we were able to identify these key areas and have the technical understanding to make mitigation
recommendations.
Our security and safety team members along with our engineers, bring a wealth of experience and various disciplines
in the areas of seismic and blast analysis, along with systems engineering concepts. Our experience ranges from
significant critical infrastructure protection strategies, to high profile buildings, and large entertainment venues. Our
proposed project team has a national reputation built upon work across the United States. We have the right people to
help with incorporating comprehensive civil, electrical, and security elements into any plan, design, and performance
requirements. Specifically, our security and traffic control related services performed on past projects include:
• Comprehensive transportation and master planning
• Environmental assessments
• Security assessments and design
• Traffic and safety engineering
• Site planning and design
• Roadway design
• Electrical and power system design
• Facility planning and design, including achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDTM") certifications
• Landscape architect
• Active vehicle barrier placement, operation, and system design

Project Risk Management
All projects contain risk regardless of size, type, staff experience level, etc. Risk can be defined as "the effect of uncertainty
on objectives or outcomes".
These effects can be negative (threats) or positive (opportunities). Management for control of risk has evolved into a core
ingredient for Gannett Fleming's business performance and project success. Gannett Fleming has developed and adopted
a Total Risk Management (TRM) program to be integrated into our standard project management practices.
Through our internal TRM process, we will customize an appropriately scaled risk management approach for this project.
Upon award, the Project Manager will develop a Risk Register and risk management will be incorporated into the Project
Management Plan to document key risks and roles and responsibilities for their monitoring, control, and communication.
Our risk management process will provide a collaborative environment between Gannett Fleming and the City of Miami
Beach to control risk and yield benefits in many areas including:
• Reduced scope creep.
• Increased client satisfaction.
• Improved budget / schedule control.
• Better capture of opportunities within the project (positive risks).
• More effective change management.
• Risks shared proportionately across the project team.
The Project Manager will review the Risk Management Plan regularly, at key milestones, to ensure risks are identified,
controls are developed, and the Risk Register is updated.

APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
Our proposed approach and methodology to accomplish the scope of work for this project is the same that assured the
successful delivery of our previous projects, including the completed 100% Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Barriers for the
City of Miami Beach Convention Center, Soundscape Park, and South Pointe Park. Our design for the Beachwalk barriers
will continue to be centered around vulnerability against design basis threats to drive our development of strategic
security solutions, technical/performance specifications, and selection of products.
DESIGN BASIS THREAT
A Design Basis Threat (DBT) approach is the basis against which physical protection
system(s) are designed and evaluated based on the attributes and characteristics of
potential adversaries.
The basis of design takes into consideration existing security measures and security
best practices to identify threats and system vulnerabilities. This is best done by using
a design basis threat methodology that provides a basis of design for the purpose of
the security measures to be applied. This design basis threat approach ensures that
security measures will perform in an intended manner to protect against those threats,
and to provide a secure operating environment. During Phase One, the City provided
concerns where vehicles may be used to ram or attack crowds of innocent bystanders
and how to best safeguard the Beachwalk and therefore has identified the threats to
be mitigated.
Gannett Fleming will build on the most exposed and vulnerable areas for a hostile
vehicle attack and recommend effective barriers while being aesthetically sensitive to
the surrounding urban streetscapes. We will assess the existing security conditions at
the City's public areas and recommend suitable replacements that are functional and
aesthetically pleasing.
APPROACH
Establishing Security Criteria
Gannett Fleming's approach to all security and safety projects is established based
upon our client's security criteria that governs the application of their physical
protection systems and our understanding of requirements, standards, and industry
best practices. The security criteria is thus based upon and considers the following:
1. The mission and values of the organization.

2. Regulatory, legal, policy, and adopted standard requirements to safeguard people, property, and facilities.
3. Organizational assumptions and constraints.
4. Identified risks based upon threat, vulnerability, and consequences of undesirable events.
5. Goals and objectives to manage risks through avoidance, transfer, reduction/mitigation, spreading, and/or acceptance.
6. Strategies, including technical and performance specifications of people, processes, and equipment or technology to
manage risks.
Development of Design Basis Threats
Establishing the basis of design for potential risk mitigation strategies takes into consideration local conditions, authorized
vehicle access and incorporation of restrictions, existing security measures, along with security best practices to identify
threats and site vulnerabilities. This is best done by using a Design Basis Threat (DBT) methodology where a profile of the
type, composition, and capabilities of an adversary that might attempt a malicious act are defined, and against which a
physical protection system is designed and evaluated. This DBT approach ensures that the associated security measures
will perform in the intended manner to protect against those threats, and to provide a secure operating environment.
The worst reasonable threat determination for each site is then developed through the evaluation of existing site
conditions, identification of the most exposed and vulnerable areas for hostile vehicle attack, existing in -place mitigation
measures, authorized vehicle access locations, vehicle avenues of approach, trajectories and speed, and the size of
potential threat vehicles based upon gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).
Site Vulnerability Assessments
Vulnerability assessment is the evaluation of accessibility by potential threats, recognizability of critical assets, elements of
construction that can be compromised or exploited by an aggressor, and the effectiveness of physical protection systems
to detect, delay, assess, communicate, and respond to events. During this assessment, we inventory and characterize
potentially targeted assets and annotate the existence and condition of existing protective measures and procedures. We
then analyze the effectiveness of these security measures against the identified DBTs.
Each of these elements of vulnerability may be evaluated according to variety of industry -accepted methods, including
but not limited to fault -tree analysis, logic diagrams, Monte Carlo simulations, direct expert elicitation, and adversary path
analysis. Our recommended approach to analyze vulnerability from vehicular threats is adversary path analysis and direct
expert elicitation.
Systematic Identification of Possible Adversary Paths
Adversary path analysis is a time -ordered sequence of tasks necessary to complete a malicious act. It considers the
motivation, capabilities, and opportunities of hostile vehicles and the reasonable potential for a vehicle to be able to reach
its intended target and result in a significant consequence, based on its size. The adversary path analysis then considers
the reasonable speeds that a vehicle may reach, based on its size and acceleration to its intended target and the amount
of kinetic energy the vehicle may deliver.

TAB 3 1 APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
Creating Technical/Performance Specifications of Hostile Mitigation Barriers
Technical/performance specification ratings are determined by three basic factors:
• The weight of the vehicle,
• The speed at which the vehicle is traveling,
• Distance a vehicle continues to travel after impacting a barrier.
Using these factors, technical specifications for vehicle barriers are developed based upon the kinetic energy that is likely
to be produced by a threat vehicle and according to ratings of vehicle barriers developed by the Department of State
(DOS) and/or the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

Developing Strategic Security Solutions and Product Selection
In designing and applying measures to mitigate against the risk of vehicle ramming attacks, it is important to balance the
security requirements with the operational and functional needs associated with the typical user of the facility or venue. As
a result, a mitigation strategy cannot be a one -size -fits -all approach, and instead must be tailored to the specific physical
constraints and functional demands of a given location.
Design concepts are developed by the placement of barriers to affect one or more of the factors of a DBTs capability or an
identified vulnerability. This includes:
1. Placement of vehicle barriers to reduce the achievable speed of the DBT,
2. Placement of vehicle barriers to reduce or limit the accessibility of the DBT,
3. Selection and placement of barriers with specifications capable of absorbing the kinetic impact of the DBT,
4. Selection of hostile vehicle barriers capable to reasonably disable a hostile vehicle to the extent that it cannot
reasonably reach its intended target after penetration through a barrier.
Vehicle barrier products are then selected that best meet these strategic security solutions and considering the technical/
performance requirements needed to reduce vulnerability. Upon selection of security solutions and treatments, aesthetic
considerations are incorporated to conform to the existing environment.

Site Assessment and Basis of Design Report
During this phase Gannett Fleming became familiar with the road system and context surrounding the project area
including Atlantic Way and the Miami Beach Boardwalk continuously between South Pointe Park to the south and 87th
Terrace to the north. This included approximately 62 points of access onto the Beachwalk. The data collected and analyzed
during the assessment supported the basis of design development for the next phase of the project. The objectives of this
phase are:
• Identification of areas of vulnerability
• Characterization of relevant vehicle threats
• Determination of maximum impact velocities and angles
• Development of initial concepts to support mitigation schemes.
Gannett Fleming performed site assessments to obtain a better understanding and awareness of the activities that are
carried out in the project area, including:
• Provide in -brief and out -brief for site assessment activity
• Interview and discussion with internal stakeholders (i.e. police department, fire department, property management,
public works, parks and recreation, sanitation, etc.)
• Identify constraints (physical and community based) and local access needs at locations
• Vehicle traffic patterns on main thoroughfares and adjacent streets, including average vehicle sizes and type.
(determination of threat vehicle)
• Pedestrian traffic patterns, including pedestrian access points, gathering areas, congestion periods, etc.
• Identification of potential vehicle attack vectors from adjacent parking areas
• Key activities, events, and operational functions that could bleed over from major thoroughfares onto the Beachwalk,
including times of operation, special events, public attractions, etc. GANNETT FLEMING 3-06

Phase One - Task 2: Basis of Design
Gannett Fleming utilized the data collected from the site assessment to inform the creation of the basis of design. The
purpose of this task was to provide the City of Miami Beach with a Basis of Design document that the City used to obtain
stakeholder approval. The Basis of Design document records the thought processes and assumptions behind major
design decisions being made to meet the Owner's Project Requirements (OPR). The OPR is intended to capture "what" the
Institution and User need and expect from the project. The objective of this phase is:
• Obtaining a City and stakeholder approved design approach that can proceed to design development.
MIA141 BEACH BOARDWALK MITIGATION PROJECT
Gannett Fleming then developed the Basis of Design document that identified the anticipated performance specifications
later supported by the analysis. This document included security engineering principles that provided the background and
justification for the recommendations that will be designed. The content of the Basis of Design document included:
• Assumed Performance specifications of the hostile vehicle mitigation strategies ( i.e., type, size, and velocity of the
vehicles that will need to be stopped and mitigation measures.
• Conceptual sketches and placement recommendations of vehicle barrier systems and recommended types of barrier
systems.
• Possible streetscape solutions that combine form, function, and strength of vehicle barriers with blending in the
environment at locations throughout the project limits.
• Other site data available for use in site analysis.
• Understanding the sites and the various risks associated with their day-to-day activities.
• Threats, vulnerabilities, consequence associated with a potential hostile vehicle attack.
• Observations of traffic and pedestrian movement patterns and requirements.
Upon completion of this task, Gannett Fleming finalized the Basis of Design document to include City of Miami Beach
comments and revisions. The completion of this deliverable has successfully set the stage to allow for conceptual plans
and 30% design drawings to begin.

NEGOTIATE WITH GANNETT FLEMING, INC., AS THE SOLE PROPOSER;
AND FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER AND CITY CLERK
TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT UPON CONCLUSION OF SUCCESSFUL
NEGOTIATIONS BYTHE ADMINISTRATION.
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Resolution authorizing the
Administration to negotiate with Gannett Fleming, Inc., the sole proposer for Request for
Proposals (RFQ) 2023-016-WG. The Resolution also authorizes the City Manager and City
Clerk to execute an Agreement upon successful negotiations by the Administration.
This solicitation is currently under the cone of silence.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY ,
The Miami Beach Recreational Corridor, commonly referred to as the Beach Walk, runs parallel
to the oceanfront from South Pointe Park to north 87th Terrace. Currently, Section 70-67 of the
City, Code prohibits the use of any motorized means of transportation along the length of the
Beach Walk.
Over the years, there have been several discussions about the safety of pedestrians and
cyclists along the Beach Walk. Different user groups, including the Mid -Beach Neighborhood
Association (MBNA), have voiced concerns about the potential of vehicles to access the Beach
Walk and cause harm to pedestrians or cyclists.
In October 2020, the Facilities and Fleet Management Department was charged with
developing a project to design and deploy protective bollards at vulnerable areas along the
entire length of the Beach Walk. The Department engaged a safety and security consultant to
complete a study that included preliminary assessments, potential options for vehicle barriers
and alternate mitigation measures. The study was necessaryto assess options and establish
Page 76 of 991
DocuSign Envelope ID: 24C42855-95984E5F-878D-A31F8BC63F07
funding.
Through the RFQ, the Facilities and Fleet Management Department seeks a consultant to
create the necessary plans and specifications to install barriers to vehicle access along the
Beach Walk. The most likely barrier is a bollard system that maximizes security and design. The
required scope of work pursuant to the RFQ may include but not be limited to bollard design,
construction documents, specifications, cost estimating and scheduling, project schedule
estimating, and construction administration.
ANALYSIS
On December 14, 2022, the Mayor and City Commission approved the issuance of the
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 2023-016-WG for Beach Walk Protective Bollards
Consulting Services. The Procurement Department issued bid notices to 27,893 companies
utilizing the City's e-procurement system, with 59 prospective bidders accessing the solicitation.
RFQ responses were due and received on February 21, 2023. The City received a sole
proposal from Gannett Fleming, Inc. Staff believes that the limited response is attributed to the
services being a niche sector that requires very specific experience relating to vehicle barriers in
public places.
On March 28, 2023, the evaluation committee appointed by the City Manager convened to
consider the proposal received. The committee was comprised of Francisco Garcia, Division
Director, Facilities and Fleet Management; Ariel Guitian, Sr. Capital Projects Coordinator,
Capital Improvement Projects; Giancarlo Pena, Assistant City Engineer, Public Works
Department; Kevin Pulido, Neighborhood Affairs Division Director, Communications
Department; and Francys Vallecillo, Assistant Director, Tourism & Culture Department.
The committee was provided an overview of the project and information relative to the 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 the proposal.
The evaluation committee determined that Gannet Fleming Inc. was well qualified and should
be considered for negotiations (see Attachment A). Below is a short bio of the firm based on
information in its proposal.
Gannett Fleming, Inc. has provided architectural, engineering, and construction services since
1915. The firm has a team of professionals that specialize in security and public safety experts

The design services for this project will be completed in phases. The Facilities and Fleet
Management Department estimates $139,000 for the initial project phase; however, funding for
subsequent phases must be requested through the capital budget process. It is estimated that
construction resulting from these design services would cost approximately $5,000,000. This
amount includes factors for construction cost escalation and additional contingencies. Design
fees will be established through the negotiation process. Services pursuant to the award of this
RFQ-shallbe subject to funding availability which is contingent on approval through the City's
capital budget process. Grant funds are not anticipated to be utilized for these services.

After reviewing the submission and staff's comments, it is evident that Gannett Fleming, Inc.
has the experience necessary to provide the City with bollard consulting services that will result
in enhanced protections with an aesthetically pleasing design for the Beach Walk. Gannett
Fleming, Inc. has worked with several large public and private sector organizations across the
U.S. and provides design, architectural, and construction administration services that will allow
the city to install protective bollards on the Beach Walk in line with the city's aesthetic and safety
needs. In 2021, Gannet Fleming, Inc. provided services to the City for preliminary work
regarding the installation of vehicle barriers to promote a safe environment for Miami Beach
patrons on the Beach Walk. Other City of Miami Beach projects facilitated by Gannet Fleming,
Inc. include the Transportation Master Plan, West Avenue Bridge Traffic and Safety, and the
Design Variation Memorandum Report following FDOT guidelines for installing Bike Lanes
across the intersections of 72 St. and 73 St. and SR A1A.
Therefore, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the
Resolution authorizing the Administration to negotiate with Gannett Fleming, Inc., the sole
proposer for Request for Proposals (RFQ) 2023-016-WG, and, further, authorizing the City
Manager and City Clerk to execute an Agreement upon successful negotiations by the
Administration.
