Item Summary/Recommendation:
During the construction of the South Pointe Phase Ill, IV and V Neighborhood Improvements Project
(the Project), staff from the City coordinated the undergrounding of aerial utilities with the owners of
321 Ocean Drive. FPL prepared and submitted preliminary drawings and a cost proposal for the
overhead-to-underground conversion to the owners of 321 Ocean Drive. FPL received payment for
the conversion and completed the installation of duct banks in early 2012.
Now that this work is complete, there are currently no overhead utilities on Ocean Drived south of 321
Ocean Drive, except fronting Marjory Stoneman Douglas Park, between 2nd and 3r Streets. By
undergrounding the FPL cable fronting the Park at this time, the City will be able to take advantage of
the Project reconstruction activities.
In order for FPL to complete the overhead-to-underground conversion for the portion of its facility
between 2nd and 3rd Street at the Park, it will be necessary for the City to grant an easement (470.5
square feet in area) to FPL for maintenance of its facilities. Once the FPL cables are installed
underground, the aerial FPL cables will be removed from the utility pole located at 321 Ocean Drive
and all other remaining poles fronting the Park. The poles will then be removed.
The cost for the installation of the conduiUwire and the pad-mounted transformers within the Park is
$13,676. The cost of the removal of the concrete poles south of 3rd Street and the FPL overhead
cables is $16,180. These costs are fully funded from the Project contingency, using South Pointe
RDA funds.
The Administration recommends approval of the resolution.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

FROM, Kathie G. Brooks, Interim City Manager ./fA/--
DATE: December 12, 2012
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR AND THE CITY CLERK TO GRANT A UTILITY EASEMENT TO
FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT AT MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS
PARK FOR THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PAD-MOUNTED
TRANSFORMERS THAT WILL PROVIDE FOR UNDERGROUND SERVICE
OF THE LIGHTING SYSTEM.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approval of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
During the construction of the South Pointe Phase Ill, IV and V Neighborhood Project
(the Project), the developer and City staff coordinated for the undergrounding of the
aerial utilities at 321 Ocean Drive. In order to remove the two remaining utility poles,
which currently serve the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Park, it would be necessary for the
City to underground the FPL facilities associated with the referenced poles.
There are currently no overhead utilities south of 2nd Street on Ocean Drive. By
undergrounding the FPL cable fronting the Park, the City will be able to take advantage
of reconstruction activities associated with the Project.
FPL prepared and submitted preliminary drawings and a cost proposal for the overhead-
to-underground conversion to the owners of 321 Ocean Drive for its portion of the work.
FPL received payment for the overhead-to-underground conversion and completed the
installation of duct banks in early 2012.
In order for FPL to complete the overhead-to-underground conversion for the portion of
its facility between 2nd Street and 3rd Street at the Park, it will be necessary for the City to
grant an easement (470.5 square feet in area) to FPL for maintenance of its facilities.
The easement is proposed to be in the southwest corner of the park adjacent to 2nd
Street and Ocean Drive. Once the FPL cables are installed underground, the aerial FPL
cables will be removed from the utility pole located at 321 Ocean Drive and all other
remaining poles south of this property.

FPL Easement-Stoneman Douglas Park
December 12, 2012
Page 2 of2
The cost for the installation of the conduit/wire and the pad-mounted transformers within
the Park is $13,676. The cost of the removal of the concrete poles south of 3rd Street
and the FPL overhead cables is $16,180. These costs are fully funded from the Project
contingency.
ANALYSIS
Florida Power & Light (FPL) in collaboration with the City has assessed the site
conditions. After the installation of the new 12-inch water main on Ocean Drive, the
City's contractor and FPL's contractor have determined there is sufficient room within the
Ocean Drive Right-of-Way to accommodate the duct bank once the abandoned 6-inch
water main is removed. The optimal location for the pad-mounted transformers is within
the Park (Attachment). The Administration concurs with the FPL site assessment.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission of the City of
Miami Beach, Florida, approve and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to grant a
utility easement to Florida Power and Light.
