Page 3 of 4
The result of claim reviews and subsequent meetings between Horizon, City staff and Stantec,
as well as the final negotiated amounts are depicted below and listed in Exhibit E - Summary of
Horizon Claim Settlement.
1) Dewaterinq lmpacts
Horizon's contract required the installation of the stormwater syslem in dry conditions and
maintaining the groundwater levels below the bottom of excavation. During the Miami Dade
County Depa(ment of Environmental Resource Management (DERM) Dewatering Permit
application process, several areas within the project limits were determined to be
contaminated. Consequently, Horizon was unable to obtain a dewatering permit despite the
efforts of both the City and Contractor. As such, Horizon proceeded with the installation of
the stormwater system "in the wet", by implementing additional crews to complete the
installation of the pipe on schedule.
The Project Baseline Schedule submitted by Horizon together with their bid accounted for
141 crew shifts (crew work days), at the end of the installation, Horizon had utilized 241
crew shifts to complete the stormwater system installation. Horizon claimed the amount of
$467,090 for costs associated with the additional crew time.
The January 6, 2012 and March 5, 2012 mediations resulted in an impasse on this item.
Following review by City staff and Stantec of the supplemental documentation submitted by
Horizon, after the previous mediations, it was determined that additional crew hours were, in
fact, utilized to complete the project on time. The total claim amount was negotiated down
to $189,871 .
Pipe Testinq Criteria Changes
At the time of Bid issuance, the stormwater pipe testing criteria required infiltration testing for
only pipes with the crown of pipe below elevation 2.28 Bay Datum, which excluded
approximately 25 percent of the installed pipes from required testing. Following the
installation of the stormwater system, the pipe testing criteria was revised by the City to
include testing of all pipes for infiltration, as well as, testing during high tide regardless or
pipe depth.
Horizon's claim in the amount $701 ,098, was for pipe cleaning efforts due to excessive
siltation of the pipes resulting from the "in the wet" installation. This item resulted in an
impasse atthe January 6,2012 and the March 5, 2012 mediations.
Following review by City staff and Stantec of the supplemental documentation submitted by
Horizon, it was determined that additional effort resulted from cleaning of "in the wet"
installed pipes and the new criteria stipulated by the City. The total claim amount was
negotiated down to $264,294.
DERM Tree Permit lmpactsA DERM tree permit was also required for Horizon to complete the landscape
improvements. Horizon claims that due to issues outside their control, the required DERM
Tree Permit could not be obtained, therefore causing project delays.
The January 6, 2012 mediation resulted in the relection of this claim. ln a subsequent joint
review by City staff and Slantec this claim was also rejected.

4) Gontract Drawinq Chanqes. Unpaid Chanqes. Unforeseen Conditions & Conflicts
This claim was partially addressed at the January 6, 2012, lnterim Settlement Agreement
with Horizon. The outstanding issue on this claim pertained to Contract Drawing Changes.
Shortly after the award of the Project, the City revised the plans and specifications, adding
certain scope of work, including Revision 4, which consisted of parking reconfiguration on
Jefferson Avenue and certain storm drainage revisions. On February 9,2010, Horizon
provided the City with a proposed change order in the amount of $63,596, for the costs
associated with this revision. The change order request was rejected by the City as there
was not sufficient back-up documentation at that time to substantiate the proposed change
order.
The portion of this claim related to Revision 4 changes resulted in an impasse at the
January 6,2012 and the March 5, 2012 mediations. ln a subsequent joint review by City
staff and Stantec of supplemental documents submitted by Horizon this claim was
negotiated down to $35,835.
5) Undisputed Retainaoe: Prompt Pavment Act lnterest. Contract Balance
As a part of the January 6, 2012, lnterim Settlement Agreement Horizon was paid the
negotiated amount of $307,272.
The total amount of the Final Settlement Agreement of all claims for damages against the City
for the scope of work pertaining to the Neighborhood 12 -South Pointe RDA Phase ll Project is
in the amount of $490,000.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and Commission adopt the Resolution
Approving and Authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Settlement Agreement and
Mutual Release between the City of Miami Beach and Horizon Contractors, lnc., in the amount
of $490,000 to settle all outstanding claims pertaining to the Neighborhood 12 -South Pointe
Phase ll Project; Funding for the final payment to the Contractor is subject to the Srh
Amendment to the Capital Budget for Fiscal Year 2013114 to be presented at the June 11,2014
Commission Meeting.

o Furthemore, &u'ing this scope of worlg Horizon discoverrd nunerous exisiing
utilities that were not identitred in the plans, causing further disnrptions to its
scope of work aad increased tirne and costs.
o Additionally, Horizon incurred additional costs for testing and cleaning of the
pipe. The City changed the testing criteri4 requiri:rg bay datum and testhg at
high tide only, and also required the testing of a greater amornt of pipe. Such
requirements were not included in the contract and/or required by indusbry
standards aad practices. Tbe inability to dewater caused additiooal siltatioo and
sedimentation to collect in the ptpe, thus increasing the cleaning costs for the
Plpe.
Unpaid Supplemental AgreemeutVChange Orders - [o late 2009, Horizon
submitted a supplemental agreement/change order to the eo.gineer of record for
unforeseen conditious, design errors and owler-rcquested modificatioos. Oo

the change order, and the EOR itself exeqted the change order. It is Horizon's
understarding that the City in fact executed the chaage order, but Horizoa bas oot
been provided a copy of thc firlly cxecuted changc ord*. The partics had agreed
r.rpou a value for the cha:rge onder, but since it was uot paid by the City, Horizon

specifi.cations, adding certain scope and reducing the scope of certain work
Horizon submited a request for change order regardiog the additional costs
associated with the revisions. The City uailaterally determineil tlat there were no

MEDIATION SUMMARY OVERVIEW
On 10 December 2008, Horlzon Contracto6 lnc. ("Horizon") was awarded a contract with the City of
l,Iiarni Beach ('City') for a project known as City of Miami Beach, South Pointe Phase ll lnfrastructure
lmprovements. The contract amount rvas 57,683,901; and included a performance period of 577
Calendar Days. The project consists of site preparation, earthwork, demolition, storm dralnage, road
aRd walkway paving, water, liBhtrn& plantin& lrrigation, and graphics. The project is located in the area
bounded by Washington Avenue on the east, Alton Road on the west,2nd Street on the south, and 5th
Street on the north, with the exception of 3rd Street, which was part of a previous Phase I Project
The nature of the project required adequate preparation and planning on the part of the City prior to iB
release for bid. The contract requires that the contractor "maintain water lorels below the bottom of
exqa\ration in all work areas where groundwater occurc during excaMltion construction, backfilllng, and
up to acceptance of the installation,' The indusion of this contract provision in the solicitatlon would
require the CW to conduct a thorough pre-solicjtation site investigation to ensure that groundwater
contamination was not an issue as a Miami Dade County Department of Envlronmental Resource
Management (DERM) dewatering permit would be invotved. Additionalv, the proiect included planting
which would also involve DERM as a tree permit vrould be required, Finally, prior to the release of the
solicifdtion, the contrdct would requlre complete drawings that would include the Gty's desired scope
and depict the location of existing utilitles and other items that would be in conflict with the work being
installed by the contractor.
Unfortunately, despite its prFbid representations indicating othenvlse, the City failed to identify
groundwater contamination in the work area which would not allow Hori2on to perform dewatering
operations and forcing Horizon to perform work tn the wef, a more costly and time consuming work
process Pipe tes'ing criteria rvas also changed by the city, causing Horizon to test additional pipe and

Conclusion
The nature of the South Pointe proiect required adequate prepaEtion and planning on the part of the
gty prior to its release for bid. Adequate prepaEtion would include proper investigation of posslble
contaminants that could affect dewaterlnB operations. Adequate planning would include ensuring that
all OERM tree permits were up to date and all utilities and possible conflicts ldentified on the contract
drawings.
Unfortunately the project was neither adequately prepared nor planned when lt was released for bid
and awarded to Horizon. Throughout lts performancg Horlzon acted ln good faith as a reasonable and
prudent contractor, mitigatin8 the CIVS exposure to damages, placing the Oty on Notlce, and diliSently
proceeding with the contract work. Atthough some issues have been resohed such as the GVs desire
to complete landscaping and ini8ation punchlist relating to modifled landscaping and inigation desiEn,
the 5 major issues outlined ln this Mediation Statement remain unresolved. Through thls Mediatlon
Statement and through the Mediatlon process, Horilon's intention is to provide the City with all the
informa8on required so lt may make the right dedsion and brint thls mutually challenging proJect to an
