RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission (City Commission) adopt
the Resolution.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On March 9, 2016, the City Commission adopted Resolution No.2016-29319, awarding a contract
for Architectural and Engineering Design Services for Lincoln Road District Redevelopment
Project to James Corner Field Operations. LLC. (JCFO). The types of improvements proposed
along the district include enhancement of pedestrian walkways and cafe zones, modifications to
the existing planters and water features, new landscape and irrigation, cosmetic repairs to historic
Lapidus structures, drainage improvements, new lighting and signalization/wa�nding,
performance/multipurpose areas in the 500 and 600 Blocks, outdoor furnishings at selected
locations, gateway trellis at the 400 Block, replacement of underground infrastructure, crosswalk
enhancements, and milling and resurfacing of asphalt paving. The sgreement was negotiated
and executed on June 23, 2016, in the total amount of$3,861,000.
On July 14, 2016, the City issued Notice to Proceed 1, to commence with Design and Engineering
Services.
On February 8, 2017, the City Commission adopted Resolution 2017-29746, approving
Amendment No. 1, in the amount of $1,274,000, for additional architectural and engineering
services associated with the implementation of the vision of the Lincoln Road Master Plan.
193 of 1750
On May 16, 2017, the City Manager administratively executed Amendment No. 2, changing and
adjusting the terms of the agreement.
Following the issuance of Amendment No. 2, JCFO proceeded with the design and the
preparation of construction documents. Throughout this phase, the Administration, City staff and
JCFO encountered challenges associated with estimated construction costs, Covid related
closures and impacts to loca� businesses, high market volatility related to material availability and
delivery logistics.
On January 13, 2021, the City Commission adopted Resolution 2021-31552, accepting the
recommendation of the Administration to reduce the scope of the project, and authorizing the
Administration to amend the agreement with JCFO to revise the drawings to complete the project
within the total allocated budget of approximately $52.4 million, equating to a construction budget
ranging between $34 million and $36 million, inclusive of $5.2 million for water/sewer and
drainage infrastructure worlc, funded separately from alternate funding sources.
The reduced scope of work includes Meridian Avenue improvements, pedestrianization of Drexel
Avenue, restoration of fountains and equipment, restoration of the Lapidus follies, upgrading
existing light fixtures, implementation of the Euclid Avenue oval concept, refurbishing the seating •
areas along the Lincoln Road corridor, refinish the existing piano keys, restore the existing
aluminum trench drain grates, Lincoln Road directional and informational signage, Lincoln Road
gateway signs at Washington Avenue and Alton Road, and a security barrier system, including
planters, bollards, and site furnishings.
On June 22, 2022, the City Commission adopted Resolution 2022-32181 approving Amendment
No. 3 in the amount of$2,730,080, to redesign the project, incorporating the reduced construction
scope of work. Amendment No. 3 did not reflect a credit in the amount $386,673.29 for work not
performed under the terms of the original Agreement.
On March 22, 2024, Amendment No. 4 was executed, reflecting the credit amount of
($386,673.29) for work n�t performed which would no longer be required.
ANALYSIS
On January 30, 2024, ITB 2024-022-ND was advertised for the Lincoln Road Improvements for
Meridian Avenue and Drexel Avenue. Qn April 2, 2024, a sole response significantly exceeding
the construction budget was received and on May 17, 2024, the Administration rejected the bid
received, authorized the issuance of a new solicitation, directed staff to complete a review of
project requirements, incorporate any changes to the solicitation in an effort to encourage
competitive responses and obtain proposals within the allotted budget.
Following the rejection of the bid, City staff held industry meetings with contractors to gain insights
into market conditions, understand the reasons for the lack of responses, and identify cost-driving
factors `.hat caused the bid to exceed the construction budget. During these meetings, contractors
highlighted that one significant cost factor was the requirement to maintain vehicular traffic
through Meridian Avenue throughout the construction period. Other factors included increased
construction costs across the market and high demand, combined with project backlogs.
In response, the project team devised a strategy of re-packaging the ITB into two distinct projects;
one for the Meridian Avenue Improvements and another for the Drexel Avenue Improvements.
To achieve additional cost savings, the construction documents were revised to include measures
such as easing restrictions on road closures and identifying contractor staging areas. This
194 of 1750
approach aimed to isolate the specific types of work required under each contract, thereby
broadening the range of contractors and increasing overall interest.
Concurrently, Florida Power and Light identified a new connection point to the efectrical service
infrastructure that was not available when the JCFO agreement was initially executed. These
updates allowed for a simplified design of the necessary electrical ductbank, leading to reduced
construction costs and a shorter project duration.
Additionally, new Miami-Dade County Division of Environmental Resource Management (DERM)
requirements for stormwater pre-treatment were implemented in the project.
On June 30, 2025, the City received JCFO's revised and negotiated proposal. This proposal
includes separating the design documents into two packages for Drexel Avenue and Meridian
Avenue, re-engineering of the FPL duct bank, and the incorporation of new DERM requirements
for stormwater pre-treatment. The total cost for these services was not to exceed $239,449.00.
City staff has prepared Amendment No. 5 (Exhibit A) to the existing Professional Services
Agreement, in the amount of$239,449.00, revising the total contract amount to $7,717,855.71.
City staff has reviewed the negotiated proposal for the additional services and found it reasonable
for the effort required from the consultant.

for the Lincoln Road District Resolution No. 2016-29319, dated June 23, 2016 ("Prime
AgreemenY').
A detailed description and reasoning for revisions is listed in the pages that follow.
Item #1- Phase 2 Separation

• Separate the Lincoln Road Phase 2 Construction Document and Bid set into two
separate packages- one for Drexel Avenue and another for Meridian Avenue.
Efforts associated with this directive are in addition to the scope of work outlined on
Amendment 4 and require additional fees based on the tasks outlined below:
• Task 1- Drawing Set Reformatting
Field Operations and their subconsultants will re-format the Lincoln Road Phase 2
construction document set, including all drawings and specifications- completed May 26,
2023- as two independent packages for bid and construction: one including all scope of
worlc required to bid and construct Drexel Avenue and another one for Meridian Avenue.
Efforts associated with Task 1 have been completed to date. Revised drawing sets were
delivered to the City on October 17, 2024.
• Task 2- Permitting and Approvals �
It is anticipated that on-going permits from Miami-Dade County, including traffic and
drainage, may require an amendment to reflect the scope of work separation. Per City
direction, the design team will continue pursuing ongoing permits as one project,
including Meridian and Drexel Avenues together, and will file for a post-approval
amendment to separate the scopes, at a later date, if necessary.
• Task 3: Bidding Assistance and Construction Observation
Current Design Team fees for bidding assistance and construction observation account
for one round of bidding (already completed in the Spring of 2024) and a single
construction mobilization for both Meridian and Drexel Avenues. Additional fees are
required to cover efforts associated with rebidding the project as two separate bid
packages, as well as the increased scope and timeline associated with two independent
construction mobilizations, potentially involving different contractors and non-concurrent
schedules. Per CtP direction, available funds earmarked for Phase 3 bidding and
construction observation and associated travel expenses will be re-allocated to cover
additional fees associated with separate construction mobilizations. A forthcoming
contract amendment will be issued to address fee shortfall once Phase 3 is bid.
Item #2- FPL Duct Bank Engineering
Following on-going permit coordination, Florida Power 8� Light Company (FPL) has
requested a primary power duct bank to connect the proposed electrical power vault
near the intersection of Lincoln Road and Drexel Avenue to an existing FPL manhole
located near the intersection of Drexel Avenue and Lincoln Lane South.
Duct bank engineering was not originally included in the scope of worlc. This work has
been completed to date. Drawings were delivered to the City on October 17, 2024

Exhibit A Scope of Services
• ltem Nl. Assumptions and Exclusrons, B. Exclusions, numbers 29-31:
29. No rncrease in drainage capacity is anticipated or included rn thrs scope.
Consultant anticipates the existing drainage capacity in the Lincoln Road Mall to be
sufficient for the proposed improvements. All drainage shall be routed to existing
drainage trunk lines on Lincoln Road. Scope is for a rehabilitation drainage
improvemenf project, and thus generally assumes straight line grading from the
respective frnished floor elevations to the exisfing slot drain locafion.
30. Consultant will be provided supporting documentation, based on the City's
drainage masferp/an, for existing drainage capacity, and associated as-builts.
Consultant shall re/y on this information for rts use during designated permii
submittals.
31. It is assumed that adequate drainage capacify exists, and no signifrcant changes
to perviou�mpervious ratios wili be proposed,therefore, no detailed, permit level
engineering studies, calculations, modeling, simulations, operational impacts, or land
usage recommendations are included in fhis scope. For this scope, only a pre/posf
calculation is anticipated to be required by the jurisdictional authority.
Proposed revisions
In 2016, Kimley-Horn started coordinating drainage-related improvements for Lincoln
Road with DERM. At the time, it was determined that areas east of Michigan Avenue
and north of(and inclusive o� Lincoln Road were included in the drainage basins for the
newly permitted 19th Street and Convention Center pump stations, and that water
quality for those areas were accounted for in the respective Class II Permits for those
pump stations. The only requirement for the LRDI would be to submit a Class II Permit
modification to DERM Water Control along with a calculation demonstrating that the
post-development impervious/pervious ratio will be lower than the pre-development
condition. DERM also suggested the City issue a letter committing to water quality
improvements for areas west of Jefferson Avenue and south of Lincoln Road.
In September 2024, DERM stated the letter of commitment would no longer suffice for
areas outside the pump station basins. Instead, DERM now requires two stormwater
pre-treatment devices: one at Lincoln Road between Michigan and Jefferson Avenues,
and another at Drexel Avenue and 16th Street.
Item #4- Sec ' Design (Bollards)
Per the City's direction, in st 2024, Field Operati ubmitted a proposed security
bollard layout for the eastern inter �on of Li oad and Alton Road to FDOT for
review, as the area falls within FDOT's - f-way. After reviewing the proposal, FDOT
stated that bollards are not allow ithin their � -of-way.
