REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TO AWARD A CONTRACT, PURSUANT TO INVITA.TION TO BID 20I4.095-SR FOR
THE MUSS PARK PAVILION RENOVATION PROJECT.
Advisorv Board Recommendation:
Muss Park is located in central Miami Beach and offers a variety of programs including After School care, toddler
programs and areas available for rent, This playground has 2-5 year old play and 5-12 year play structures, shaded
structures, spring riders, leaning wall climbers, mega rock wall feature, telescope and an open grass area. The
playground also includes tot and youth swings and water fountains.
The purpose of lnvitation to Bid (lTB) No. 2014-095-SR is to establish a contract, by means of sealed bids, with a
qualified firm to complete the renovation of the existing Muss Park Pavilion Building, including minor sitework,
demolition work, new ADA ramps, upgrading of the bathroom facilities to comply with code, adding new masonry
walls, foundations for the added walls and ramps, miscellaneous interior renovations, electrical, plumbing and
exhaust ventilation for the restroom and storage spaces.
lnvitation to Bid (lTB) 2014-095-SR was issued on January 2'1,2014. Notices were posted on the Public Group and
Florida Purchasing Group websites. Notices were also delivered by E-mail to potential bidders. The posting was also
advertised as required by law. On February 20,2014, the following bids were received in response to the lTB.
ln the due diligence review of bids received, it was determined that ERF Construction, the apparent low bidder, failed to
meet the requirements for both previous experience and financial capacity. With regard to previous experience, all the
projects submitled by ERF Construction were completed under the name of a different firm. Further, the Florida State
Department of Corporations indicates that ERF was not incorporated until October, 2013. Therefore, ERF has been
deemed non-responsive to the previous experience requirement. With regard to financial capacity requirement, Dun &
Bradstreet has reported ERF, on the Supplier Qualifier Report required by the lTB, as a'high risk'firm. Therefore, ERF
is also deemed non-responsive to the requirement of sufficient financial capacity.
The next apparent low bidder, H & A Contracting, has met the previous experience requirement having completed
projects for many public sector agencies in the Southeast Florida region in the last five (5) years, including, but not
limited to, Broward Palm Beach and Miami-Dade Counties, and the cities of Coral Gables, Miami, Miami Beach, Miami
Gardens, North Miami Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, West Palm
Beach, and Davie. With regard to financial capacity requirement, Dun & Bradstreet has reported H &A Contracting, on
the Supplier Qualifler Report required by the lTB, as a "low risk" firm. Therefore, H & A is also deemed responsive to
the requirement of sufficient financial capacity.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
After considering the review and recommendation of City staff, the City Manager exercised his due diligence and is
recommending to the Mayor and the City Commission to award a contract to H & A Contracting.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission: approve the award of the contract to H & A
Contracting, the lowest responsive, responsible bidder pursuant to lnvitation to Bid (lTB) 2014-095-SR, forthe Muss
Park Pavilion Renovation Project, in the amount of $206,620, including a 5% contingency; and, authorize the

the ordinance.
BACKGROUND
During the discussion regarding the extension of the off-leash pilot program at South Pointe
Park at the December 13, 2013, City Commission meeting, Mayor Levine initiated a discussion
regarding the creation of a dog beach for the City of Miami Beach, one similar to what was
established by the City of Hollywood. The concept was to offer a new amenity to residents and
visitors by identifying an area of the beach that permits off-leash dogs. The proposed dog beach
would be open during pre-established days and times during the week.
The Administration was directed to explore the potential of designating a dog beach for the City.
Over the past few months, staff has met with the pertinent stakeholders including: Florida
Department of Health, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Miami-Dade County
Animal Services and Miami-Dade County Parks and Recreation Department. ln addition, the
City Attorney's Office has been working closely with the Miami-Dade County Attorney's Office.
The proposed ordinance seeks to amend Chapter 10 of the Miami Beach City Code entitled,
"Animals", whereby Section 10-10, "Animals prohibited in public parks and beaches," will
allow for the ability to allow dogs in designated parks or areas of the beach. Amending Section
1O-11,"Running at large prohibited; exception", seeks to establish the location and times for the
proposed dog beach, while still providing the City Manager with discretion to authorize
alternative locations, dates and times as he deems necessary. ln addition, amending Section
10-1 1 will also allow for the dogs to be at the designated dog beach off-leash.

The recommended guidelines/regulations for the City's first proposed dog beach are as follows:
r The designated dog beach will be located between 80th and 82nd Streets east of the
dunes, with entrance east of the North Shore Open Space Park on Collins and 81"t
Street.*o The dog beach will be open weekly on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 3:00 p.m.
to 7:00 p.m."r The dog beach will be staffed by the Parks and Recreation Department during all
operating hours.. Signage will be placed in a designated area advising of all rules and regulations.o All dog use shall be by pass only, issued by the Parks and Recreation Department.. Daily or yearly passes will be issued.. A hold harmless agreement indemnifying the City will be issued for each participant.. Daily rate: Resident: $5.00, Non-resident: $10.00 (cash only on site)**o Trial Annual Rate: Resident; $20.00, Non-resident: $50.00 (May-September 2014)**. FY 2O14115 annual rate: Resident $50.00, Non-resident $100.00**. Dogs must have a current rabies tag, collar and name tag to enter the dog beach.. Owners will be required to clean up their dog's waste (dog waste bags will be provided
by the City).. Dogs must be leashed anywhere outside of the designated dog beach.. Unruly dogs and owners may be asked to leave.. Owners must carry issued passes at all times when utilizing the dog beach.. Dogs will not be permitted to dig in the sand.o There is a limit of two (2) dogs per owner.
*Location, days and times are subject to change.**Subject to cost escalation.
The start-up fees for the dog beach will be derived from staffing, signage, waste bags,
scoopers, flags/cones, bins and monthly water testing, with minimal revenue generated for the
first year (4 month impact). The estimated impact toward FY 2013114 is $20,000. The estimated
impact toward FY 2014115 will be significantly lower and will only include recurring operating
costs for materials/supplies and monthly water testing. The operating costs for FY 2014/1 5 will
be approximately $7200, with revenue of approximately ($3500) for daily and annual passes,
resulting in a net cost of $3,700 applicable in FY 20'14/15.
This item was presented on first reading at the May 21 ,2014 City Commission meeting.
Pursuant to the direction provided by the City Commission, the Administration recommends
adopting the ordinance. lf adopted on second reading, the proposed dog beach can be
implemented ten days after formal adoption of the ordinance.

ln FY 12113, the Parking Department issued a lolal of 14,721 parking citations for obstruction of traffic
and loading zone violations. ln Q1 and 2 of FY 13114, 8,458 parking citations have been issued,
which extrapolated annually equates to 16.916. an increase of 13o/o.
Item Summary/Recommendation:
On March 5,2014, the City Commission held discussion ltem No. RgH related to traffic congestion
and commercial vehicles blocking lanes. The relevant city Departments support and recommend the
programs detailed below to address traffic congestion. These programs are intended to address
freight loading regulations and enforcement. The following multi-pronged strategy is recommended:
(1) expanded freight loading opportunities for trucks with a gross vehicle weight over 10K lbs,
regulated by permit, for shorter time frames and prohibited at all other times; (2) all other vehicles
under 10K lbs. will be required to use alleys furnished with new and more informative signs; (3)
enforcement shall take place as follows: (a) The Police Department, with a zero tolerance for
obstruction of traffic, will issue moving violations, resulting in points to the driver's Commercial Driver's
License; increased insurance costs; and higher fines ($129.00); (b) The Parking Enforcement Unit will
enforce the freight loading zone regulations by citing and towing vehicles that do not display the
required permit; and (c) The Code Enforcement Department will enforce the prohibition of deliveries
during posted hours pursuant to City Code. This will be critical in holding both purveyors and
businesses accountable.
On April 23, 2014, the Mayor and Commission held a discussion and approved the proposed
ordinance on first reading with the inclusion of a provision for operators to provide either infrequent or
transient commercial deliveries without obtaining a permit. This may be acbomplished by allowing
operators to use freight loading zones via meter payment or payment via pay by phone service. A
Fleet permit; extended hours in strategic locations, and honoring of mail/parcel services in alleys was
incorporated into the proposed ordinance between first and second reading. The Administration
recommends that the City Commission approve the Ordinance on second and final public
hearing with an effective date of July 1,2014, allowing a transitional phase from curent to the
ulations.
On 3/3/14 and 5/514, the Transportation and Parking Committee endorsed a freioht loadinq zone
program forWash Ave between dth and 17th Sts and C-ollins Ave between 63'd and 7E'n Sts.

Financial lmpact Summary:
Revenues generated by these programs are estimated to be $90,000 in permit fees and $100,000 in
fine revenues, for total annual revenues of $190,000 or 9950,000 over five years. However, if
successful, these revenues should decline over time. Expenses for the permitting component consist
largely of replacement of existing signs, many of which are planned replacements, resulting in a
negligible expense. The expense for police enforcement is estimated at $750,000 over five years. . ln
addition, as a component of the fiscal impact analysis, an expense of $55,000 is identified for the
processing and administration of the program by City's Service Center. lt is estimated that one (1)
additional position will be needed to qualify, process, and manage both proorams.

ANALYSIS
On March 5,2014, the Mayor and Commission held discussion ltem No. RgH related to
commercial vehicles blocking lanes; on the following streets: Washington Avenue, Collins
Avenue; Ocean Drive, and West Avenue; enforcement and long term solutions.
Existing Commercial Loading Regulations and Enforcement
Commercial and freight loading zones are placed along major commercial corridors
throughout the city. Typical posted regulations are commercial loading zones from 7AM to
6PM and in South Beach where metered parking is enforced until 3AM, commercial loading
zones are flex zones and transition to metered parking from 6PM to 3AM. Certain areas
along the 100 blocks (Ocean Drive to Collins Avenue) have designated freight loading
zones. These encompass a quadrant of a city block (approximately four to six parking
spaces) between Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue and are operational between 7AM and
11AM. These are designated to accommodate largertrucks and encourage deliveries in the
morning hours. Alleys are available for commercial loading activities with two requirements:
('1) expeditious loading and unloading for a maximum of 20 minutes and emergency vehicle
access must be maintained at all times.
30
May 28, 2014 City Commission Memo
Freight Loading Amendments to the City Code - Second and Final Public Heaing
Page 4 of 11
These loading zones are currently regulated through time limit and hours; however, not by
vehicle class. The following is the pertinent section of the Miami-Dade County Code
Chapter 30-388.24, entitled, "Freight curb loading zones; time limit; passenger use.
(a) No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle for any purpose or length of time
other than for the expeditious unloading and delivery or pickup and loading of
materials in any place marked as a freight curb loading zone during the hours
when the provisions applicable to such zones are in effect. The stop for
loading and unloading materials shall not exceed twenty (20) minutes except
in specially marked "parcel truck" loading zones where the stop shall not
exceed one (1) hour.
(b) The driver of a vehicle may stop temporarily at a place marked as a freight
curb loading zone for the purpose of and while actually engaged in loading or
unloading passengers, when such stopping does not interfere with any motor
vehicle used for the transportation of materials which is waiting to enter or
about to enter such zone.
The current regulation provides significant latitude for any driver of any vehicle to use
existing commercial loading zones, leaving very limited opportunities for purveyors with
larger trucks to conduct their deliveries. This, in turn, exacerbates double parking.
Enforcement
Enforcement of commercial loading violations and traffic obstruction is done almost
exclusively by PES (parking enforcement specialists). This classification was developed in
the early 1980s for the enforcement of parking related violations allowing law enforcement
officers to address more serious crimes. PESs issue non-moving violations with fine
schedules ranging between $18 and $34, contingent upon the type of violation, excluding
disabled parking violations which range between $103 and 9250.
One major challenge has been the low (and outdated) parking violation fine schedule for
Miami-Dade County which was last increased in 1996. Over the last decade, the City has
pursued increases to the fine schedule. Most recently, in 2010, the City urged the Miami-
Dade Board of County Commissioners, State of Florida, and League of Cities to increase the
fine schedule as a deterrent to parking violations. Many violators see the current fine
schedule as either cost of doing business for commercial uses and in many circumstances
an $18 fine for overtime parking at a metered parking space is lower than parking rates at
many private parking facilities and competitive with the City's own flat parking rate of $15.
Proposed Freight Loading Zones/Alleys and Enforcement Strategies
The Administration conducted research of loading zone regulations in other jurisdictions,
including Chicago, Houston, New York, Orlando, Pensacola, Portland (Oregon), Salt Lake
City, San Jose, and Seattle. All of these jurisdictions have variations of permitted commercial
or freight loading zones, most provide for a permit fee, restricted hours, and maximum time
limits. Please refer to the chart below:

Freight Loading Amendments to the City Code - Second and Final Public Hearing
Page 5 of 11
At the March 5, 2014, City Commission meeting, it was specifically requested that the
Administration review the loading provisions for New York City. New York Cig is regulated
similarly to the other jurisdictions; however, it provides for opportunities for "double parking"
under certain conditions. The conditions are as follows:
Double Parking - Under the New York City Traffic Rules double
parking is when the driver of a vehicle stands or parks that vehicle on
the roadway srde of another vehicle that is stopped, standing, or
parked at the curb. ln most situations, a diver may stand a
commercial vehicle alongside a vehicle parked at the curb at such
locations and during such hours that stopping, standing, or pa*ing is
not prohibited, while expeditiously making pickups, deliveries or
seruice calls, provided that (1) there is no occupied curb space within
100 feet on either side of the street that can be used for standing,
and (2) that the standing is in compliance with instructions from
police officers and flag persons.
For anyone who has navigated the one-way street pairs in New York City during peak traffic
hours in the mornings and afternoons, the aforementioned provisions, more often than not,
result in double parking.
Proposed Freight Loading Zone Regulations and Enforcement
The City's Parking Department, Public Works Department, Transportation Department,
Code Enforcement Department, Fire Department, and Police Department all support and
recommend the programs detailed below to address traffic congestion. These programs are
intended to address freight loading regulations and enforcement. Segments of these plans
require an amendment to the City Code, requiring two readings, one of which shall be a
public hearing. The following multi-pronged strategy is recommended:
32
May 28, 2014 City Commission Memo

Page 6 of 11
. Expanded freight loading opportunities for larger trucks with a gross vehicle weight
(GVW over 10,000 lbs), regulated by permit, for shorter time frames and prohibited
at all other times.. All other vehicles (GVW under 10,000 lbs.) will be permitted to use other city righl
of-ways, including alleys furnished with new and more informative signs noticing
permitted uses.o Commercial vehicles, such as charter tour buses, may also attain a Freight
Loading Zone (FLZ) permit and utilize freight loading zones, for a period not to
exceed thirty (30) minutes, at one time. Other open and closed loop sightseeing
buses and vehicles, are being addressed on a parallel course through the
Neighborhoods and Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) with direction to pursue
a concession agreement via a formal competitive process. An item regarding this
matter will be presented to the NCAC in May 2014.. Enforcement shall take place as follows:
issue moving violations, resulting in points to the driver's CDL (Commercial
Driver's License); increased insurance costs; and higherfines than non-
moving violation ($1 29.00).
regulations by citing and towing vehicles that do not display the required
permit and/or violate the provisions of the program.) The Code Enforcement Department is empowered to enforce the prohibition
of deliveries during posted hours pursuant to City Code, Section 106-47,
"Freight, commercial, and passenger curb loading zones; hours, deliveries".
This will be critical in holding both purveyors and businesses accountable.
Freight Loading Zones (FLZ) Program
Establish permitted freight loading zones (no other use during these hours) which are
comprised of up to four contiguous parking spaces between the hours of 7AM and 11AM
and/or 1PM and 3PM. The City Code, Section 106-41, entitled, "Authority of the city
manager" provides the City Manager with the authority to set the days, hours, and time limits
for metered parking. The City Code states the following, "The city manager is authorized
and directed to establish, as traffic conditions may require, zones to be known as parking
meter zones upon such stree/s in the city as he shall select for the location of such zones,
and to cause parking meters to he installed and patuing meler spaces to be designated as
provided in this afticle. He shall fix the time limitation for legal parking in such zones and
spaces. The city manager, from time to time, may add to, change or abandon such parking
meter zones. ln selecting, changing or abandoning such parking meter zones, the city
manager shall be guided and govemed by location, amount of traffic, the demand for parking
space, the congestion of traffic, the use of the street, and any other conditions which may be
existent."
Permitted vehicles shall be those having a gross vehicle weight of 10,000 lbs or more, as
defined by the City Code, Section 1 06-1 , Definitions, as follows: Commercial motor vehicle
means any self-propelled or towed vehicle used on the public highways in commerce to
transpo( passengers or cargo, if such vehicle:
(1) Has a gross vehicle weight rating of '10,000 pounds or more;(2) ls designed to transport more than 15 passengers, including the driver; or(3) ls used in the transportation of materials found to be hazardous for the
purposes of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended (49

Traffic Obstruction Enforcement Program
Police officers will be assigned to dedicated enforcement (moving violations) for obstruction
of traffic (double parking) on major thoroughfares. Moving violations are an effective
deterrent of double parking, as it: (1) assesses points to the operator's driver's license, (2)
increases insurance premiums, and (3) moving violations carry higher penalties than non-
moving citations issued by parking enforcement specialists. This assignment will be
proposed as an enhancement for the FY 2013114 Budget, subject to budget approval
process and may be funded in the current year, subject to a budget amendment.
Proposed Amendments to the Gity Code:
The following amendments to the City Code are recommended:
Parking in freight loading zones.
It shall be unlawful for any person during the posted hours of operation of a freight
loading zone to:(1) Park any vehicle other than a commercial vehicle, as defined in
Section 106-'l , in any freight loading zone designated by the city;(2') Utilize a freight loading zone for any purpose other than the
expeditious loading or unloading of property, goods or merchandise
from a commercial vehicle;(3) Park any commercial vehicle in any freight loading zone without either:
a. Displaying a current and valid freight (FLZ) vehicle parking
permit issued and utilized pursuant to this article; orb. Paying the meter fee as provided in Section 106-55 of this
code; or(4) Park any commercial vehicle in any freight loading zone for a period in
excess of that time allowed on posted signs or in excess of the
maximum time limit allowed by the meter.
ln addition to any applicable fine or penalty, any vehicle parked in violation of this
section shall be subject to being towed at the direction of any law enforcement
officer or parking enforcement specialist.
Freight vehicle parking.
The operator of a commercial vehicle may utilize a freight loading zone during the
posted hours of operation of the zone pursuant to a permit issued underthis article
or by payment of the meter fee as provided in section 106-55 of this Code.
Permit application; issuance.
(a) A person may apply for a freight vehicle loading permit by submitting an
application in the form prescribed by the director, along with the appropriate
permit fee.(b) The parking official shall issue a permit, unless he/she determines that:(1) The application is incomplete or materially untruthful; or(2) There exist any unresolved parking citations for any vehicle
owned bythe applicant oranyagent of the applicant; and any
unresolved debt with the City by the applicant or any agent of
the applicant.

Permit; required.
(1) FLZ (Freight Loading Zone) Permit. An FLZ permit will be valid until
September 30th, of each year and shall be transferable to any other
commercial vehicle operated by the permittee upon prior notice in a
manner prescribed by the parking official. A commercial vehicle with
anFLZ permit may be parked in a freight loading zone or, where such
zones are unavailable or occupied, parked utilizing one to two
metered automobile parking spaces without payment of the usual
meter fee as required elsewhere in this chapter for such spaces. A
commercial vehicle with anFLZ permit may be parked for a period not
to exceed thirty (30) minutes at one time.(2) AL Permit. An AL permit will be valid until September 30th, of each
year and shall be transferable to any other commercial vehicle
operated by the permittee upon prior notice in a manner prescribed by
the parking official. A commercial vehicle with an AL permit may be
parked in an alley for a period not to exceed twenty (20) minutes at
one time.
Permit specific to commercial vehicle.
Each permit shall be registered to a specific commercial vehicle and shall be
transferable only to another vehicle meeting permit requirements, as provided in
this article.
Display of permit.
A permit must be conspicuously displayed upon the commercial vehicle forwhich it
is issued so as to be easily visible to any person passing such commercial vehicle
on the street or sidewalk while the commercial vehicle is parked in any freight
loading zone. Any failure to display a permit shall create the presumption that no
permit for the commercial vehicle exists. A license plate enabled platform shall
shortly render the permit display requirement moot.
Use of parking meters,
As an alternative to obtaining a permit, the operator of a commercial vehicle may
park the commercial vehicle in a freight loading zone space or spaces during
posted hours of operation for the zone by paying the meter fee for each space
utilized in whole or in part for parking the commercial vehicle in that zone, provided
that:
The commercial vehicle is then being expeditiously loaded or
unloaded; and
The meter or meters are not allowed to expire; and
The commercial vehicle may not be parked in excess of the maximum
time allowed as posted on the meter or as authorized by a permit as
provided in this article; however, an unpermitted commercial vehicle
may utilize one (1) to two (2) metered spaces, or portions of such
spaces, within the same block face, by paying the meter fee for each
space wholly or partially occupied by such commercial vehicle.

Compliance with other laws.
A permit issued under this article shall not excuse compliance with applicable laws,
and a commercial vehicle or charter bus parked in any metered automobile parking
space remains subject to any "no parking" and "tow-away zone" restrictions
applicable to the parking space. Additionally, a permit does not excuse the
requirement that the commercial vehicle must be expeditiously loaded or unloaded
at all times while parked under this article.
Fees,
Fees for freight loading zone permits are stated for this provision in the fee
schedule. A permit may be replaced during its valid term for the fee stated for this
provision in the city fee schedule, upon providing the parking official the police
report for the stolen permit or an affidavit for a lost permit. The permit shall be valid
only for the remainder of the original term.
Effective Date and !mplementation Plan
An effective date of July 1, 2014, tor the ordinance is recommended. lnitial
outreach to purveyors and business communities has begun. ln addition, new
signs will need to be developed and installed as well revised pavement markings.
Mobilization of this work is estimated to be completed within 30 days after the
approval ofthe ordinance, at second reading.
FISCAL IMPACT
Revenues generated by these programs are estimated to be $90,000 in permit fees and
$100,000 in fine revenues, for total annual revenues of $190,000 or $950,000 over five
years. However, if the program is successful, these revenues should decline over time.
Expenses for the permitting component consists largely of replacement of existing
"commercial loading zone" and "no parking in alley" signs, many of which are planned
replacements, resulting in a negligible expense. The expense for police enforcement is
estimated at $750,000 over flve years.
As aforementioned, an additional expense of $55,000 was identified between first and
second reading. This consists of processing and administration of the program by City's
Service Center. lt is estimated that one (1) additional Financial Analyst (FA) position will be
needed to support both programs.
CONCLUSION
ln conclusion, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve
an amendment, on second and final public hearing, to Chapter 106, "Traffic and Vehicles"
Article ll, "Metered Parking" by amending Sections 106-55; establishing, Subsection (F),
Permit Required; FurtherAmending Section 106-55; Establishing Subsection (O), entitled,
"Freight and Commercial Loading Zone Permit Fees"; providing for codification, repealer,
severability, and an effective date.

Item Summary/Recommendation :
On April 9,2014, Request for Qualifications No. 2014-142ME for the Design Criteria Professional (DCP) services for the
Miami Beach Convention Center Renovation was awarded to Fentress Architects. The majority of the construction
impact on events is currently anticipated to occur in 2016 and 2017. To begin planning the design and construction of
the Convention Center, a policy needs to be established determining which events the City will make efforts to
accommodate within the project construction schedule, and which events may be accommodated only if the construction
schedule permits. On April 9, 2014 the City Commission referred this mafter to the Finance and Citywide Projects
Committee for discussion.
On April 30,2014 the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee reviewed and considered the information and separated
the discussion into two separate recommendations. The first recommendation is that the timeframe of the Convention
Center project not exceed 36 months, but with a goal of completing construction within 24 - 30 months. The second
recommendation was for staff to go contact all events on the priority list to determine if they could take place without
usage of the P-Lot, with access to no more than two (2) exhibit halls and with limited or compressed load-in/out.
Global Spectrum and City staff subsequently contacted the events and discussed the aforementioned parameters and
confirmed which event could continue within these constraints and presented the information to the Finance and
Citywide Projects Committee on May 20,2014. City staff also presented the anticipated phasing plan (Exhibit "A') that
was developed by Fentress to meet the desired construction timeline as directed by the Committee on April 30,2014.
The Committee subsequently recommended the City proceed with the proposed phasing plan. The Committee also
recommended statf contact all event producers and work with them to accommodate as many events as possible as
long as they could exist without usage of the P-Lot, with access to no more than two (2) exhibit halls, exist with
construction in progress, and with limited or compressed load-in/out. Global Spectrum and City staff has already begun
with all events to finalize an event schedule durinq the Convention Center renovation.

ANALYSIS
On April 9,2014, Request for Qualifications No.2014-142ME for the Design Criteria Professional
(DGP) services for the Miami Beach Convention Center Renovation was awarded to Fentress
Architects. The construction schedule and booking event calendar both play an integral part in
expediting construction while also driving business to the destination.
The majority of the construction impact on events is cunently anticipated to occur in 2016 and2017.
To begin planning the design and construction of the Convention Center, a policy needs to be
established determining which events the City will make effo(s to accommodate within the project
construction schedule, and which events may be accommodated only if the construction schedule
permits. On April 9,2014 the City Commission referred this matter to the Finance and Citywide
Projects Committee for discussion.
This decision needs to be made soon to give clients sufficient notice and time to find alternate
facilities (if needed). Global Spectrum and the GMCVB will assist them in relocating, again if
needed, and will also work to rebook them at a future date. Additionally, this decision needs to be
made ln order to expeditiously proceed with the design and construction of the Convention Center.
The Finance and Citywide Projects Committee reviewed a complete list of all known and anticipated
events at the Convention Center from 2016 - 2018, as well as a draft list of priority events that the
Citywould make efforts to accommodate within the project construction schedule. ln developing the
draft list of priority events, the City Administration, Global Spectrum, Greater Miami Convention and
Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) and StrategicAdvisory Group considered room nights, economic impact,

long term compatibility with the mission of the renovated convention center, and the anticipated
construction schedule.
On April 30, 2014 the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee reviewed and considered the
information and separated the discussion into two separate recommendations. The first
recommendation is that the timeframe of the Convention Center project not exceed 36 months, but
with a goal of completing construction within 24-30 months. The second recommendation was for
staff to go contact all events on the priority list to determine if they could take place without usage of
the P-Lot, with access to no more than two (2) exhibit halls and with limited or compressed load-
in/out.
Global Spectrum and City staff subsequently contacted the events and discussed the
aforementioned parameters and confirmed which event could continue within these constraints and
presented the information to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee on May 20,2014. Cily
staff also presented the anticipated phasing plan (Exhibit "A") that was developed by Fentress to
meet the desired construction timeline as directed by the Committee on April 30, 2014. The
preliminary phasing plan demonstrated that two (2) Exhibit Halls could remain open throughout
construction and still meet the desired construction timeline. The Committee subsequently
recommended the City proceed with the proposed phasing plan. The Committee also
recommended staff contact all event producers and work with them to accommodate as many
events as possible as long as they could exist without usage of the P-Lot, with access to no more
than two (2) exhibit halls, exist with construction in progress, and with limited or compressed load-
in/out. Global Spectrum and City staff has already begun working with all events to linalize an event
schedule during the Convention Center renovation.
CONCLUSION
TheAdministration recommends adopting the attached resolution as recommended bythe Finance
and Citywide Projects Committee to accommodate as many events as possible during the
Convention Center renovation as long as they could exist without usage of the P-Lot, with access to
no more than two (2) exhibit halls, exist with construction in progress, and with limited or
compressed load-in/out.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
Mayor Philip Levine and Members the City mrssron
Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: May 28,2014
SUBJECT: AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM BASEL IN MIAMI BEACH AND THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH REGARDING -YEAR AGREEMENT FOR USE OF THE MIAMI
BEACH GONVENTION CENTER.
BACKGROUND
Art Basel Miami Beach (ABMB) was established in 2000 as the sister event of Switzerland's Art
Basel, the world's most prestigious art fair. ABMB has become the preeminent contemporary art
fair in the western hemisphere, and an established destination for artists, galleries, collectors,
museum groups and other individuals interested in top-notch art. The main exhibition is at the
Miami Beach Convention Center with many other exhibits, parties and crossover event
extending throughout the city - making Miami Beach the epicenter of the intemational cultural
scene. Each year, ABMB spends millions of dollars producing the fair and economists have
estimated $400 million to $500 million in related economic impact as a result of the fair.
On January 1, 2013, MCH formed a United States corporation in the State of Florida by the
name of Art Basel U.S. Corp. that is a wholly owned subsidiary of MCH and will act as the new
organizer of Art Basel in Miami Beach.
ABMB's current agreement with the Convention Center expires December 2014 and Global
Spectrum and City staff has been negotiating a new agreement in anticipation of this contract's
expiration. The new agreement continues the show at the Miami Beach Convention Center for
another five years cementing Miami Beach's presence in the arts world and confirms the city's
position as a world-renowned cultural city. The five year agreement also comes at a very
important time as we embark on the renovation of the Center and ensures the continuation of
the City's partnership with Art Basel in Miami Beach.
