Item Summarv/Recommendation :
On April 30,2O14, the CityCommission approved the award of lnvitation to Bid (lTB) No.2014-154-SRfor North
Beach Turnkey Trolley Operations and Maintenance Services to Limousines of South Florida, lnc. (LSF).
Following the approval of the lTB, an Agreement between the City and LSF was executed on May 8, 2014. While
the ITB included a provision for optional additional routes at the City's sole discretion, the executed contract with
LSF did not include a provision for shuttle service during special events.
The City currently experiences fifteen (15) major special events during its high impact periods. During these
periods, the City experiences a high volume of visitors and high levels of street activity, resulting in reduced
mobility and parking shortages. ln addition, the City needs the flexibility to provide service for additional events on
as needed basis (e.9. Veteran's Day, Centennialcelebration activities, etc...)
The Administration considers that special events significantly impact mobility and thus, the City should consider
providing shuttle service during these periods to provide an alternative mode of transportation and reduce the
need for parking. The Administration, in its discretion, will include a contingency in the budget for each fiscal year
to provide funding for shuttle services for any special event(s), if it is determined that the service may improve
mobility during the same,Additionally, in coordination with Miami-Dade Transit and the Florida Department of
Transportation, the Administration is exploring alternatives that can ensure the efficiency of the shuttle service and
public transportation during major special events, such as the use of dedicated lanes/shoulder for transit vehicles
and traffic monitoring and management (currently being implemented during some major events).
ln the event that no City-branded spare trolleys are available to provide shuttle service during the selected major
special events, the City's current trolley operator, LSF, would use optional vehicles (such non-branded trolleys or
other transit vehicles at the City's discretion) with similar seating capacity.
While the ITB included a provision for optional additional routes at the City's sole discretion, the executed contract
with LSF did not include a provision for shuttle service during special events. Therefore, an Amendment to the
contract with LSF is required for these services. The Administration is working with LSF to ensure that the special
event service complies with all applicable federal, state and local requirements.
THE ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS APPROVING THE RESOLUTION.

SR for North Beach Turnkey Trolley Operations and Maintenance Services to Limousines of South

ln addition, the City needs the flexibility to provide service for additional events on as needed basis
(e.9. Veteran's Day, Centennial celebration activities, etc.).
ANALYSIS
During major special events, the City experiences a high volume of visitors and high levels of street
activity, resulting in reduced mobility and parking shortages.
The Administration considers that special events significantly impact mobility and, thus, the City
should consider providing shuttle service during these periods to provide an alternative mode of
transportation and reduce the need for parking. The Administration, in its discretion, will include a
contingency in the budget for each fiscal year to provide funding for shuttle services for any special
event(s), if it is determined that the service may improve mobility.
It is estimated that a 15 minute headway special event service will require approximately 64 hours of
service. Based on the ITB cost of $69.49 per service hour, one day of special event service is
estimated to cost approximately $4,500 depending on route length, etc. The proposed Amendment
of $45,000 provides services for approximately 10 days of special event service. There are sufficient
funds available in the Transportation Fund, subject to budget appropriation.
Additionally, in coordination with Miami-Dade Transit and the Florida Departmentof Transportation,
the Administration is exploring alternatives that can ensure the efficiency of the shuttle service and
public transportation during major special events, such as the use of dedicated lanesishoulder for
transit vehicles. Additionally, the Transportation Department currently deploys traffic monitoring and
management services during seven (7) major events to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow
throughout key ingress/egress routes.
ln the event that no City-branded spare trolleys are available to provide shuttle service during the
selected major special events, the City's current trolley operator, LSF, would use optional vehicles
(such non-branded trolleys or other transit vehicles at the City's discretion) with similar seating
capacity.
While the ITB included a provision for optional additional routes at the City's sole discretion, the
executed contract with LSF did not include a provision for shuttle service during special events.
Therefore, an Amendment to the contract with LSF is required for these services. The
Administration is working with LSF to ensure that the special event service complies with all
applicable federal, state and local requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
In an effort to improve mobility during high impact periods, the Administration recommends that the
Mayor and City Commission authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Amendment No. 2
(Amendment) to the Agreement between the City and Limousines of South Florida, lnc., for Turn-
Key Operations and Maintenance Services of a Municipal Trolley System for the City Of Miami
Beach, executed as of May 8, 2014; said Amendment increasing the scope of the Agreement to
include the provision of additional shuttle services during events which impact mobility in the City, in
the Administration's discretion; and increasing the cost of the Agreement for said services, in an
not to exceed $45,000 annually.
