Morales, City Manager DATE: April 15,2015 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE YOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER CONSTRUCTION PERIOD BOOKING POLICY SET FORTH IN RESOLUTION NO. 2014.28610, TO FACILITATE THE TIMELY AND EFFICIENT COMPLETION OF THE MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER RENOVATION AND EXPANS|ON PROJECT (,, PROJECT"). ADMINISTRATION RECOMMEN DATION Adopt the Resolution. KEY INTENDED OUTCOME lmprove alliance with key business sectors, namely hospitality, arts & international business with a focus on enhanced culture, entertainment & tourism. BACKGROUND On May 28, 2014, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2014-28610, to provide for a Convention Center booking policy in connection with events scheduled at the Convention Center during the construction of the Project (the "Construction Period Booking Policy"). The Resolution stipulates that the Project must be completed in a time period not-to-exceed thirty-six (36) months, and construction activity must be phased in a manner that would permit the booking of Convention Center events within two (2) of the four (4) main exhibition halls at any given time, and with no access to the P-lot and compressed load-in/load outs. Pursuant to the Construction Period Booking Policy and within the framework of the design-build project delivery method approved by the City Commission at the time, Fentress Architects prepared a preliminary phasing plan to accomplish the foregoing objectives, as well as the City's objective of fully accommodating the Art Basel events within the four (4) main exhibition halls each year during construction. On February 11,2015, the City Commission elected to re-bid the Project under a Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMR) pro.lect delivery method, an approach that allows for the continued development of the design for the Project with the benefit of input from the Construction Manager prior to establishment of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the Project, currently anticipated to occur on or about October, 2015. Agendattem RTfDatg?S{f13 Modification to the Convention Center Booking Policy During Construction April 15, 2015 Page 2 of 4 ANALYSIS Based on the consideration of a variety of factors, including the recent shift to the CMR approach, the consideration of timing for bond financing and availability of funds after establishment of the GMP for the Project in October, 2015, analysis of code and life safety requirements, and construction schedule concerns based on continued phasing analysis, Fentress has developed an improved phasing plan that would better accommodate and reconcile the Project's construction and operational needs, but would require certain modifications to the adopted Construction Period Booking Policy. With regard to bond financing and availability of funding for the Project, the City must have funds on hand to enter into contracts related to any project, which, in the case of the MBCC Project, approximate $600 million. The MBCC Project will be funded by a combination of Miami Beach RDA bonds, a County General Obligation bond, parking revenue bonds, and resort tax bonds, which cannot be issued until after the imposition of the additional 1o/o resort tax in accordance with the requirements of the City Charter. Section 5.03(b) of the City Charter provides, in pertinent part, that the additional 1% resort tax "cannot be imposed until such time as the City of Miami Beach has entered into an agreement with a developer for the expansion, enlargement, renovation, and/or improvement of the Miami Beach Convention Center." Under the CMR approach, the agreement contractually obligating the City to fund "the expansion, enlargement, renovation and/or improvement" of the Convention Center will not effectively be in place until the City Commission, at its discretion, accepts and enters into a GMP Amendment obligating the Construction Manager to deliver the Project. Until that time, there is no agreement obligating the City to pay for the Project, such that, in accordance with the City Charter, the additional resort tax could be imposed as the funding mechanism therefor. lf the GMP Amendment is approved as currently anticipated on October 21, 2015, the first reading to increase the 1olo tax will also take place on October 21, 2015 with the second reading scheduled shortly thereafter at a Special Commission Meeting. With the approved GMP Amendmenl and 1% tax increase in place, the City plans to price bonds in November and close in the first few days of December. The schedule for GMP Amendment and financing impacts the existing phasing plan, which would require the "early procurement" of bid packages such as $50-70 million in steel before the City Commission has the opportunity to consider the overall GMP for the Project, a scenario the Administration does not recommend. The updated phasing plan currently being recommended better aligns the Project funding to the sequencing of the work, as the focus of the initial work following the December 2Q15 Art Basel will be the demolition of the western concourse along Convention Center Drive, and long lead procurement of key materials such as steel would not need to be ordered until after the Commission has approved a GMP Amendment, bonds are issued, and funding is in place. ln addition, in order to comply with the Florida Building Code, the existing floor slab must be raised by approximately 4 to 6 inches. This requirement, as well as upgrades to mechanical and life safety systems, should ideally be completed under a single phase, rather than two phases as previously planned. This issue becomes most critical during Art Basel since the entire exhibit area is used for the show. The revised phasing plan includes the following key elements: Year 1 - Mid December 2015 thru Mid November 2016: 14 Modification to the Convention Center Booking Policy During Construction April 15, 2015 Page 3 of 4 o Keep the two east exhibition halls open for events, along with the east concourse, west exhibition halls will have to be closed due to the lack of emergency exists to the westo Demolish and rebuild the west concourse. Begin ballroom constructiono Open for 2016 Art Basel with a new west concourse and existing exhibition halls Year 2 - Mid December 2016 thru April 30, 2017:. Close all exhibit halls and complete exhibition hallfloor renovation. Complete all west side exhibition hall renovation (floor, ceiling, mechanical). Complete west concourse levels 2 and 3. Complete ballroom. Complete parking Year 2 - May 1, 2017 thru mid November 2017 half:. Open the two west exhibition halls for events, along with the new west concourse. Complete east side exhibition hall renovation (ceiling, mechanical). Complete east concourse renovation. Complete majority of exterior renovationo Year 3 (2018)o Same as before, parks and roads, complete exterior and center punch list items The main change of this phasing plan is that the original plan to offer two exhibition halls for events throughout all of construction is not accommodated from the end of Art Basel in mid-December 2016 thru April 30, 2017. While the Convention Center does not have any contracts for events during this period, events that have requested dates include: Motorcycle Show; Electric Hybrid Marine; JIS ("Jewelry", one of two events held at the Convention Center in 2017); OMBRS ("Antique"); Graphics; VINEXPO; Home Show (one of two held at center in 2017); Juegos Miami, and Barret Jackson (potential first event). By opening the Convention Center by May 1, 2015, Maison & Objet, the World Out Games, Major League Baseball (MLB) All-star Game Fan Fest, and other events throughout the rest of the year can be accommodated in two halls, as previously prescribed. ln addition to the proposed closure of the facility following the completion of Art Basel in 2016 through April 30, 2017, the Project team is also concerned about the amount of construction activity that will likely be required to prepare for the opening of the Convention Center for Art Basel in both 2016 and 2017 . To provide the construction team with unfettered access to the facility to address the inevitable multitude of mechanical system issues that will need to be addressed prior to opening for Art Basel, they are also requesting that the Convention Center be closed approximately 30 days prior to the Art Basel move in. This request impacts one show, the Auto Show. This event could be relocated to another facility, or rescheduled in the Convention Center in other open periods. Finally, the Convention Center Booking Policy currently includes language directing the Administration "...to complete the Miami Beach Convention Center Project within 24 30 months; but not to exceed 36 months.. . " and " ...to accommodate as many events as posslb/e. " The Project team believes that it is not possible to accomplish both. To complete the Project within the schedule, the Convention Center needs to have as many closed dates as possible, allowing the Construction Manager flexibility to shut down mechanical systems as needed to tie in the old versus new. Therefore, we propose to accommodate only those events that have previously 15 Modification to the convention center Booking Policy During construction April 15, 2015 Page 4 of 4 requested dates, and not book any additional events during the construction period. Booking focus should be on those events scheduled to occur after the center is complete. The main advantages of the new approach are as follows: . Aligns cash needs with bond funding. West concourse demolition does not require advance materials purchase. Steel and other materials can be purchased after bond funding occurs and processed while demolition occurs. Any materials that are needed to be purchased for construction commencement can be funded with temporary financing mechanisms after the GMP Amendment is approved and the tax is turned on. o Provides more time to plan an effective and efficient exhibition hall floor renovation. o Better use of labor force with components completed in one step versus two (exhibit hall floor, west concourse, east concourse, etc.) . Nearly eliminates risk associated with providing a full facility for Art Basel in both construction years. Exhibition hall floors are not touched in the first year, and are completed in first four months of second year. This should materially decrease the CMR budget contingency that had to be carried under the previous phasing plan. o Art Basel 2016 will occur with a new Convention Center front door (west concourse) and two new 20,000 sf rooms available (west concourse). o Creates the new front door by end of first year. . Brings parking on earlier. o Exhibit halls will never need to be at two floor levels (code requires exhibition halls to be raised 4-6 inches) . Proposed closed period has no contracts currently in place, and no events with high economic impact. . Proposed closed period is at a time when the hotels are booked with non-convention center business. . The plan is supported by Global Spectrum. o By the time MLB All-star Game Fan Fest is scheduled to occur in 2Q17, the center can' offer 250,00 sf of exhibition space, two new 2O,OOO sf rooms on west side, parking spaces over west side and potentially the new ballroom and the parking over the ballroom. CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission amend the Convention Center Construction Period Booking Policy set forth in Resolution No. 2014-2A610, to (i) accommodate only those events that have requested bookings at the Convention Center as of April 13,2015; and (ii) authorize the closure of the Convention Center during the following periods: October 19, 2016 through November 16, 2016; December 10, 2016 through April 30, 2017; and October 17,2017 through November 22, 2017, so as to facilitate the timely and efficient completion of construction of the Project.

WHEREAS, on May 28, 2014, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2014- 28610, to provide for a Convention Center booking policy in connection with events scheduled at the Convention Center during the construction of the Project (the "Construction Period Booking Policy"); and WHEREAS, the Construction Period Booking Policy stipulates that the Project must be completed in a time period notto-exceed thirty-six (36) months, and construction activity must be phased in a manner that would permit the booking of Convention Center events within two (2) of the four (4) main exhibition halls at any given time, and with no access to the P-lot and compressed load-in/load outs; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the Construction Period Booking Policy and within the framework of the design-build project delivery method approved by the City Commission at the time, Fentress Architects prepared a preliminary phasing plan to accomplish the foregoing objectives, as well as the City's objective of fully accommodating the Art Basel events within the four (4) main exhibition halls each year during construction; and WHEREAS, on February 11,2015, the City Commission elected to re-bid the Project under a Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMR) project delivery method, an approach that allows for the continued development of the design for the Prolect with the benefit of input from the Construction Manager prior to establishment of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the Project, currently anticipated to occur on or about October, 2015; and WHEREAS, based on the consideration of a variety of factors, including the recent shift to the CMR approach, the consideration of timing for bond financing and availability of funds after establishment of the GMP, analysis of code and life safety requirements, and construction schedule concerns based on continued phasing analysis, the Project team has developed an improved phasing plan that would better accommodate and reconcile the Project's construction and operational needs; and WHEREAS, the implementation of the updated phasing plan would require the modification of the existing Construction Period Booking Policy to (i) accommodate only those events that have requested the booking of dates during the construction period as of April 13, 2015; and (ii) authorize the closure of the Convention Center during the following periods: 17 October 19, 2016 through November 16, 2016; December 10, 2016 through April 30, 2017; and October 17,2017 through November 22,2017; and WHEREAS, the Administration has consulted with Global Spectrum regarding the time periods for the proposed closures, and recommends the foregoing time periods for closure, as such dates minimize the overall impact on tourism and on Convention Center business compared to other available time periods; and WHEREAS, the Administration recommends the modified Construction Period Booking Policy, as the updated phasing plan significantly reduces the construction schedule risk associated with making all four (4) main exhibition halls available each year for Art Basel; provides more time to plan an effective and efficient exhibition hall floor renovation; provides greater flexibility to the Construction Manager in shutting down mechanical and life safety systems to expedite the work; utilizes and sequences the work of the construction trades and labor force in a more efficient and organized manner; better aligns the Project's cash flow needs with bond funding; and facilitates efforts to potentially complete additional areas of the Convention Center (such as certain ballroom areas and parking) earlier than currently anticipated. NOW, THEREFORE, BE !T DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City Commission hereby amend the Convention Center Construction Period Booking Policy set forth in Resolution No. 2014-28610, to (i) accommodate only those events that have requested bookings at the Convention Center as of April 13, 2015; and (ii) authorize the closure of the Convention Center during the following periods: October 19,2016 through November 16,2016, from December 10, 2016 through April 30,2017, and from October 17,2017 through November 22,2017, so as to facilitate the timely and efficient completion of construction of the Project.

The Constitutional "Class Size Amendment" provides the following sized classrooms: . 18 students in prekindergarten through grade 3. 22 students in grades 4 through 8. 25 students in grades 9 through 12 The State Legislature also amended several chapters of the Florida Statutes, to implement the Class Size Amendment. One of the revised statutes defined that the Class Size Amendment would only apply to "Core Curriculum" courses and not to extracurricular courses. As a result, class sizes got larger again at the start of the 2010-2011 school year, after the state re-defined what a core class was. About two-thirds of the 849 "core" classes offered in Florida elementary, middle and high schools were downgraded to "extra- We ore commilled to providing excellent public service ond sofettT to oil who live. work ond ploy in our vibronl, tropical, hisla';' #iJ, i,", R-1 C 28 curricular" status, which has no limit on class size. Classes like calculus, anatomy, Advanced Placement, and Spanish were affected. The State of Florida should take the education of our children seriously, and the State Legislature should comply with the Constitution, and provide the mandates smaller class rooms. Additionally, Miami-Dade County make the needs of our children a priority and provide the smaller class room sizes regardless of how the State defines "core curriculum" or "extracurricular." lf you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Danila Bonini at extension 6457.

Adequate provision shall be made by law for a uniform, efficient, safe, secure, and high quality system of free public schools that allows students to obtain a high quality education and for the establishment, maintenance, and operation of institutions of higher learning and other public education programs that the needs of the people may require. To assure that children attending public schools obtain a high quality education, the legislature shall make adequate provision to ensure that, by the beginning of the 2010 school year, there are a sufficient number of classrooms so that: 30 (1) The maximum number of students who are assigned to each teacher who is teaching in public school classrooms for prekindergarten through grade 3 does not exceed 18 students; (2) The maximum number of students who are assigned to each teacher who is teaching in public school classrooms for grades 4 through 8 does not exceed 22 students; and(3) The maximum number of students who are assigned to each teacher who is teaching in public school classrooms for grades 9 through 12 does not exceed 25 students. The class size requirements of this subsection do not apply to extracurricular classes. Payment of the costs associated with reducing class size to meet these requirements is the responsibility of the state and not of local schools districts. Beginning with the 2003-2004 fiscal year, the legisiatui'e shall provide sufficient funds to i'educe the average number of students in each classroom by at least two students per year until the maximum number of students per classroom does not exceed the requirements of this subsection.

Classes like calculus, anatomy and Spanish were affected; and WHEREAS, Advanced Placement courses are no longer considered core curriculum courses and are now considered extracurricular courses for the purpose of the Class Size Amendment WHEREAS, the State Legislature should listen to the voters and adhere to the Florida Constitution, Article lX, Section (1Xa), by ensuring that all class sizes are reduced to the size contemplated by the Voters, and not continue to circumvent the Florida Constitution by using such terminology as "core curriculum" and extracurricular courses to avoid implementing the class size amendment.
