BACKGROUND/HISTORY
At Ihe May 21, 2025 City Commission Meeting,the Pedra Portuguesa sidewalk maintenance item
(C4 J) was separated for discussion hy the sponsoring Commissioner, Kristen Rosen
Gonzalez. The item was discussed at length, and a motion was made by the sponsor to include
funding in the amount of$140,000 for ihe repair of the sidewalk, in Ihe Capital Budget Amendment
(R7 F),which passed 7-0. The Capital Budget Amendment item, including the Pedra Portuguesa
repair,was subsequentty adopted by ResoWtion (202533683)7-0 during the same meeting.
The City has taken ihe lead in maintaining the 1100 Bbck of Lincoln Road since its contract with
UTA Management, LLC (UTA Management),terminated in 2019. Maintenance includes upkeep of
the sidewalk material made of stones, and the adjacent fishpond.
Over the last six years rou[ine maintenance of the sidewalk has 6een performed by City
contractors. However, in eady 2024, the City engaged Team Contracting to perform significant
stone restoratioNrepair work for a total $227,525. The Pedre Portuguesa, while aesthe[ically
pleasing, does present signiticant maintenance challenges. 7he following reasons outline why it
is so expensive to maintain and repair this specialty paving: labor-intensive upkeep,costly repairs
(due to need for skilled craRsmen lo re-set paving stones), vulnerability to damage (can crack,
sink, and become tliscolored due ro tempereture changes), safety wncems (wom stones can
become slip hazards when wet).
City staff and UTA Management met eady this year to discuss potential solutions to repaidreplace
said stones and adjacent fishpond. Pollowing the meeting, UTA Management provided the City
with a proposal of services (quote dated November 20, 2024, Attachment A) from Professional
Stone Design LLC., in the amount of $138,000, which includes deep cleaning during nightlime
hours with a pressure-washing machine and special cleaning products sui�able for the type of
stone, deep cleaning of the main fountain, repair of all holes and cracks, the replacement of any
missing stones in-kind to match the original sudacing, installa[ion of grou[where necessary, and
Ihe application of a sealer coat to protect the stones. Professional Stone Design LLC was lhe
original contrector and therefore, has the most extensive knowledge of Ihis installa�ion.
City staff was also in receipt of a second quote from Arquigreen Corp. (quote dated May 11,
2023), for complete resurfacing, and replacemen�of materials of the 1100 Block of Lincoln Road
Mall (Attachment B), in the amount of$420,400, not induding yeady maintenance.
Upon City staff's review of all of the available information, it recommended that the original
installing contraclor, Professional Stone Design LLC be engaged to provide the repair work
needed, considering their eztensive knowledge and familiarity with the Pedra Portuguesa
sidewalk located on the 1100 Block of Lincoln Road Mall.
Under ihe City of Miami Beach's Code of Ordinances, Section 2366 and 2367,the City Manager
has the authority to waive[he bid requirements far construction-related services, up lo $300,000.
