Public facilities, such as restrooms, water fountains, and gathering spaces, are crucial for the
success and accessibility of municipal parks and centers. While the lennis courts themselves are
the core o(the facility, the presence of well-maintained and reacha6le public facilities signifcantly
enhances the overall experience, promotes community engagement, and contributes to the long-
term success of a municipal parks and centers.
The Miami Beach North Shore Park Restroom Facilities (Project) is one such space. The Project

The Project is fully designed, under constmction and is curreNly approximately 80% complete.
The ProjecCs design (Exhibit A) provides air-conditioned facilities that will serve as a community
hub, fostering social interaction and community spirit while supporting organized sports and
recreational activities.
ANALYSIS
In December 2024, the Parks and Recrealion DepaAment received a request from Miami Beach
Tennis Center to add a [errace area on the eas[side of the future concession space and in
2371
January 2025,the Ciry received a request from Miami Beach Tennis Center to expand the terrece
to accommodate a seating area for Ihe future concession space, which would accommodale cat�
tables. City staff advised that the project was already under construction, and that changes at
this stage would imply delays to the project and additional costs. Staff furiher advised Ihat the
project did not have available funding to accommodate this change.
At its April 8, 2025, meeting, [he North Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (North Beach
CRA)Advisory Committee unanimously adopted a motion:
• Rewmmending that the North Beach CRA fund up to $350,000 toward the North Shore
Park/Miami Beach Tennis Center Capital Improvemenl Project to expand the current
scope for Ihe ProjecL The North Beach CRA tunds will support the enhancement of the
faciliry thmugh the design and consVuction of an outdoor seating deck and infrastructure
for a future grease hap, adjacent to the proposed shell space.
Following ihe North Beach CRA Advisory Commitlee's motion,staff asked the conUactor to pause
the construction of the ramps and planters on the east side of the faciliry, in order ro avoid
demolition or re-work, should the Committee's motion for the new scope be adopled by the North
Beach CRA. This area has remained un(nished as ihe remainder of the project progressed.
On April 28, 2025, the consWtant provided a sketch of the new scope for the enhancement of Ihe
Project (Exhibit B).
Adopting this increase to the project scope will require an amendmeM fo the design consultanfs
Agreement, a revision to the building permit and a change order to the contractor. It is anticipated
that ihe restrooms will open, under a Temporary Certifcate of Occupancy, in July 2025. The
remainder of ihe scope will be delayed until design revisions and permitting are completed in
September,with completion of constmction for the new scope of work, before the end of the year,
2025.
Consistent with the North Beach CRA Advisory Committee's recommendation,the Adminisfration
proposes that the North Beach CRA allocate an amount not to ezceed$350,000.00 in its FV 2025
budget[o fund [he implementation of�he new scope.
