SUBJECT: REFERRAL TO THE FINANCE A~CIPANIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE -
DISCUSSION REGARDING THE EXPANSION OF THE MAINTENANCE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH AND UIA
MANAGEMENT, LLC, FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF LINCOLN ROAD
FROM LENOX AVENUE TO THE LINCOLN ROAD STREET END, AND THE
MlAMl BEACH SOUNDSCAPE PARK.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Refer the matter to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee for discussion.
ANALYSIS
The City of Miami Beach (City) and UIA Management, LLC (UIA) entered into a management
agreement on for the maintenance of the 11 00 block of Lincoln Road in January of 201 0. Under
the terms of this agreement UIA is responsible for providing sanitation, landscaping and
property management services for I100 block of Lincoln Road. The services provided by UIA
have been excellent without any significant complaints and minor oversight and involvement
from the City. When the agreement was approved in January of 2010, an option was made
available by which the City and UIA by mutual agreement could expand the type of services
encompassed under the 1100 block of Lincoln Road agreement to other sections of Lincoln
Road and the future Lincoln Park, now named Miami Beach SoundScape.
The City would like to explore the option of extending sanitation, landscaping and property
management services to the streets east of Lenox Avenue and to the soon to be completed
Miami Beach SoundScape (Lincoln Park). The potential benefits of having the maintenance
services provided by UIA are:
Reduction of total annual operating costs.
Reduction of full-time equivalent City employees.
* Provide a full-time Chief EngineerIProperty Manager (7 days a week) who will manage
maintenance services with all subcontractors, and manage interface with City and
Lincoln Road Mall property and business owners.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and the City Commission refer the matter to the
Finance and Citywide Projects Committee for further discussion.

Work Program.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Enhance mobility throughout the City.
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): According to the 2009 Customer Satisfaction Survey,
Transportation remains one of the most significant areas to address from the survey results (often mentioned as a key
quality of life issue). 24% of residents rated traffic flow as excellent or good, and 37% as poor. 35% of residents rated
the availability of pedestrian trails and bicycle pathsllanes as excellent or good, and 30% as poor.

( Shall the Mayor and City Commission approve the Resolution?
Item Summary/Recommendation:
I The Florida De~artment of Trans~ortation (FDOT) District Six Port of Miami Tunnel (POMT) Proiect currently under , .
construction will provide a direct'connectidn from the Port of Miami to interstate highways from 1-395 via ats son
Island. When completed in May 2014, the POMT is projected to result in increased traffic volumes on 1-395 and the
MacArthur Causeway between the Biscayne Boulevard ramps and Watson Island. To provide increased capacity, the
POMT Project will widen the existing MacArthur Causeway Bridge from three (3) lanes to four (4) lanes in each
direction. The FDOT lnterstate 395 (1-395) Reconstruction Project, from east of lnterstate 95 (1-95) to the MacArthur
Causeway Bridge, would also provide additional lanes and traffic capacity adjacent to the POMT. However, the
construction phase is programmed in the Miami-Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Long Range
Transportation Plan (LRTP) in fiscal year (FY) 2025.
City staff expressed concerns to FDOT regarding the projected increase in traffic volumes and the potential issues
with traffic merging between the POMT and 1-395, and requested FDOT to produce a solution in advance of the FY
2025 1-395 Project. At the May 20, 2010 MPO Governing Board meeting, a resolution urging FDOT to work closely , with all cities and Miami-Dade County was passed. Subsequently, the City held a meeting with FDOT on July21,2010
to determine a solution to the potential issues with traffic merging between the POMT and 1-395. At this meeting, City
staff and FDOT agreed that an interim roadway and bridge widening project on 1-395, from NE 1'' Street to the
MacArthur Causeway (1-395 lnterim Project) would provide an adequate and economically feasible solution.
I
On November 12'~, 2010, the MPO Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC) placed forth a resolution
brought forward by the City of Miami Beach CTAC representative opposing the 1-395 lnterim Project and
recommending the advancement of the 1-395 Reconstruction Project (Attachment 2). Even though the City does
support the final 1-395 expansion project, the City would, however strongly support the advancement of 1-395 lnterim
Expansion Project.
The interim improvements will provide increased traffic capacity for the many residents and visitors of the City who use
this route. Based on these benefits, the Administration recommends the endorsement of the FDOT 1-395 lnterim
Project.
THE ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR MMlSSlON OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ENDORSING THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION INTERSTATE 1-395 INTERIM CONSTRUCTION PROJECT,
FROM NORTHEAST lST STREET TO THE MACARTHUR CAUSEWAY, AS
REFERENCED IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2012-2016 FDOT TENTATIVE WORK

N/A
ANALYSIS
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Six Port of Miami Tunnel (POMT) Project
currently under construction will provide a direct connection from the Port of Miami to interstate
highways from 1-395 via Watson Island. The project is estimated to be completed by March 2014
and open for all traffic by May 2014. When completed, the POMT is projected to result in
increased traffic volumes on 1-395 and the MacArthur Causeway between the Biscayne Boulevard
ramps and Watson Island. To provide increased capacity, the POMT Project will widen the
existing MacArthur Causeway Bridge from three (3) lanes to four (4) lanes in each direction.
The FDOT lnterstate 395 (1-395) Reconstruction Project, from east of lnterstate 95 (1-95) to the
MacArthur Causeway Bridge, would also provide additional lanes and traffic capacity adjacent to
the POMT. The scope of work includes total bridge reconstruction, including the complete
demolition of the existing structure. Following an extensive Project Development and Environment
process, this project has recently received approval by the Federal Highway Administration to
advance to the design phase, which is scheduled to begin in March 201 1. Even though the City is
fully supportive of this project, the construction phase is programmed in the Miami-Dade
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) in fiscal year
(FY) 2025, given the increase, traffic volumes directly associated with the construction of the new
tunnel; the City feels that an interim solution to address this problem is warranted.
As a result, city staff has expressed concerns to FDOT regarding the aforementioned projected
increase in traffic volumes and the potential issues with traffic merging between the POMT and I-
395, and requested FDOT to produce a solution in advance of the FY 2025 1-395 Project. At the
May 20, 2010 MPO Governing Board meeting, Mayor Bower reiterated these concerns and
requested the adoption of a resolution urging FDOT to work closely with all cities and Miami-Dade
County and to consider them as active participants in the decisions related to construction
projects affecting the cities or County, and to assertively communicate project information to
assure larger audiences are reached (Attachment 1).

Subsequently, the City held a meeting with FDOT on July 21,2010 to determine an interim solution
to the potential issues with traffic merging between the POMT and 1-395. At this meeting, City
staff and FDOT agreed that an interim roadway and bridge widening project on 1-395, from NE lSt
Street to the MacArthur Causeway (1-395 lnterim Project) would provide an adequate and
economically feasible solution. The scope of work for the 1-395 lnterim Project would include
extending the transition area between the POMT to 1-395 through roadway and bridge widening and
adding travel lanes to provide sufficient space for merging traffic.
On November 1 2'h, 201 0, the MPO Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC) placed forth
a resolution brought forward by the City of Miami Beach CTAC representative opposing the 1-395
lnterim Project and recommending the advancement of the 1-395 Reconstruction Project
(Attachment 2). Even though the City does support the final 1-395 expansion project, the City would,
however strongly support the advancement of 1-395 lnterim Expansion Project.
The interim improvements will provide increased traffic capacity for the many residents and visitors
of the City who use this route. Based on these benefits, the Administration recommends the
endorsement of the FDOT 1-395 lnterim Project.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends approving the Resolution.

UYIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM (UP WP)
Chairman Moss opened the public hearing. Chairman Moss closed the
public hearing.
Board Member Martinez requested clarity on whether the $10 million
would be used for studies. Mr. Mesa responded that the proposed
resolution is to approve the two-year planning program for the MPO.
He concluded by stating that this planning program is approximately
$10.5 million.
Board Member Bower requested clarity on whether any of the studies in
the UPWP was related to the 1-395 project. Mr. Mesa responded by
stating the UPWP does not have any studies as it relates to the 1-395
project. He ,further stated that the 1-395 project is listed in the MPO's
Transportation Improvement Program which is the transportation capital
improvement program.
District Secretary Pego reminded the Board that FDOT has prepared a
presentation on the status of the 1-395 project. He Wher stated that the
UPWP is a planning level study document and the 1-395 does not need
to be included in that document.
Board Member Hantman expressed support of the proposed document.
She then informed the Board that three of the planning studies listed in
Agenda Item 2
the document would help improve safety around the public schools in
Miami-Dade County.
Board Member Sosa stated that the proposed item provides the MPO
with the ability to study transportation issues in Miami-Dade County and
to determine how to better provide improvements. She further stated
that these studies are the justification needed for the projects that follow.
Board Member Martinez requested clarity on whether any of the studies
in the proposed UPWP were completed before, particularly Item 2.06
Developing Procedures and Criteria for Establishing School Crossing
Guard Locations. He further asked clarity on the carry-over items listed.
Mr. Mesa responded that some of the items listed as carry-over are the
result of a mid-year start date with duration of one-year or more which
requires a continuation in the program. He then stated that staff was not
aware of a completed study that looked at issues similar to the work
proposed in Item 2.06. He then informed the Board that the MPO staff
participates in the Safety Committee along with representatives from the
School Board, Miami-Dade Public Works and law enforcement. He
further stated that it is the responsibility of this Committee to identify
the safety issues as it relates to traffic impacts on schools. He concluded
by stating that in the past this issue may have been handled by another
entity. However it's the first time the MPO will be taking a
comprehensive look at the safety issues surrounding the schools
especially in locations that have been identified with greater number of
incidents.
Board Member Gimenez expressed concern with the number of projects
being funded with the $10.5 million. He requested clarity on the
funding source for the UPWP. Mr. Mesa responded that the UPWP is
required and funded in its majority by the federal government. He then
stated that programs such as the Long Range Transportation Plan
(LRTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) must be
funded by law. He further stated that other areas in the UPWP include
the Board Support, Public Involvement efforts and additional staff
support, as well as approval of study requests that originate from the
Board. He concluded by stating that the UPWP is usually funded by
federal (SO%), state (lo%), and local (10%). He further concluded by
stating the grant received by the federal government is based on a
population formula.
Board Member Auerbach expressed concern with voting on the entire
Program if some of the studies mentioned by Board Member Martinez
were previously conducted. He concluded by stating this issue should
be addressed prior to approving the entire UPWP.
Board Member Diaz moved to defer the item to allow members an
opportunity to receive clarification on the item. Board Member
Martinez seconded the motion.
This item was deferred.

MPO was presented to the MPO Review Committee fiom which Board
Member Gibson requested the additional work. He then stated that this
additional work is to look at the economic impacts of the freight industry
in the entire Miami-Dade County.
Board Member Gibson stated that the MPO Freight Study presented to

seeking from the proposed scope. She further stated that she is looking
to obtain a more detailed analysis of the economic impacts the freight
industry have on Miami-Dade County. She then stated that the
community needs to be aware of how important the freight industry is to
the vitality of Miami-Dade County. She concluded by requesting
clarity on whether the deferral of item 4.A.2 will prohibit the proposed
study fiom advancing. Mr. Mesa responded that the previous deferral of
the UPWP will not impact the proposed study. He concluded by
introducing Mr. Larry Foutz of the MPO Secretariat to provide clarity on
the issue.
Mr. Foutz informed the Board that the proposed study was a result of the
Freight Master Plan that was presented to the MPO Review Committee
and incorporated into the approved 2035 Long Range Transportation
Plan. He stated that he was not aware of an MPO study that considered a
comprehensive economic impact of freight on Miami-Dade County. He
then stated that he was recently informed that a macro analysis was
completed in conjunction with the Port Tunnel project with economic
research focusing on the Airport and Seaport. He further informed the
Board that this previous work has been listed in the proposed scope for
the consultant to use. He concluded by stating that no work has been
completed regarding the warehouses and other related fieight industry
activities that occur throughout the County.

Mrs. Ysela Llort, Assistant County Manager, informed the Board that
the County staff is involved in the MPO process. She concluded by
stating that on the MPO technical committees the directors of County
transportation departments are voting members.
Board Member Sosa expressed concern that the memorandum does not
provide enough information on the fiscal impacts of the proposed item.
She then requested clarity on the funding source for the proposed item.
Mr. Mesa responded that the funding source is 80% federal, 10% state
and 10% local. He further stated that the 10% local match is fiom the
county's secondary gas tax.
Board Member Sosa requested that the legal department prepare a
resolution stating that items seeking MPO Board approval must include
information on the fiscal impacts as well as the tracking record of the
item as part of the memorandum.
Board Member Bower requested clarity on whether the Post-
Panamamex impacts would be included in this study. Mr. Foust
responded that he could modifL the proposed scope to include this
request without impacting the budget.
Board Member Jordan expressed support for the proposed study. She
then stated that based on the MPO Secretariat's response the proposed
study is different fiom previous work conducted for the Port Tunnel
project.
Board Member Gibson concluded the discussion by stating that the
proposed study is to address the impacts the fieight industry has on the
entire county. She concluded by stating that staff has made it clear that
previous work exists and would be incorporated into the proposed study
analysis.
