RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approving the Resolution.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On June 22, 2022, the Mayor and City Commission (City Commission) authorized the
Administration to enter into negotiations with Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. (Hazen), the top -ranked
proposer, and A&P Consulting Transportation Engineers, Corp. (A&P) for engineering services
for water and wastewater projects (RFQ No. 2022-122-ND).
On February 8, 2023, the City and A&P entered into an engineering agreement having an initial
term of three (3) years, with two (2) one-year renewal terms.
On April 28, 2023, the City Commission approved a request for routine renewals, task orders,
change orders, or contract amendments for City -awarded contracts, including the assignment of
the agreement from A&P to CHA Consulting Inc. (CHA), which had acquired A&P in February
2021. This assignment transferred all rights, titles, interests, and obligations of the agreement
from A&P to CHA.
On September 13, 2023, the City Commission approved the Normandy Isles Water Main
Replacement Project, pursuant to the agreement RFQ 2022-122-ND, via Resolution No. 2023-
32740.
The Service Order for change order No. 1 entails the design services necessary to upsize the 30-
inch water main to a 36-inch water main and comply with the Florida Department of
566 of 2180
Transportation's (FDOT) permit requirements for the approval of the Normandy Isles Water Main
Replacement Project. This project spans from the Miami -Dade County Water & Sewer
Department's (WASD) water meter, near the intersection of Normandy Drive and Bay Drive, to
the Normandy Isles Water Booster Station at Rue Vendome Plaza, located at the intersection of
Normandy Drive and Rue Vendome. The Service Order includes completing a traffic study as

This refers to the completion of a traffic study of Normandy Drive, subsequent development of
TTCP, TSP, DP, and additional design and permitting tasks to upsize.
ANALYSIS
The Normandy Isles Water Main Replacement Project is a priority infrastructure project for North
Beach, situated in the Normandy Isles Neighborhood. The project aims to design and replace the
critical 80-year-old distribution water main along Normandy Drive, which is the primary water
supply to neighborhoods in North Beach. This water main is at the end of its useful life and is one
of the five crucial interconnections with WASD. making it a vital component of the City's water
infrastructure. The need for improvements to this water main was identified in the City of Miami
Beach Water System Master Plan.
Following the initial permitting submission to FDOT for work along Normandy Drive, FDOT
requested a traffic study and the development of detailed signed and sealed Maintenance of
Traffic (MOT) plans for further permit review and approval. The original scope of work did not
include the preparation of detailed MOT plans as a project deliverable, therefore, this request
constitutes additional services.
The additional scope of work includes the collection of necessary field traffic data, the data
analysis. a technical memorandum summarizing the findings of the analysis. the development of
corridor -specific MOT drawings and additional coordination with FDOT.
Separately, a hydraulic modeling effort was recently completed to assess the impacts of ongoing
and future developments in the area. The increased demands associated with higher
development density indicate that the existing 30-inch water main must be upsized to a minimum
of a 36-inch water main to match the capacity of the county water main feed. This improvement
will maximize the available county supply through the corridor and ensure that projected water
demands are met while maintaining adequate system pressures.
The additional scope of work includes all engineering services necessary to complete the required
design modifications and permitting associated with the 36-inch water main.
CHA provided a proposal (Attachment A) to conduct the traffic study, design the signed and
sealed MOT plans, and upsize the 30-inch water main to a 36-inch water main to be completed
under agreement 2022-122-ND for engineering services for water and wastewater system
projects.
The Administration, pursuant to RFQ 2022-122-ND for engineering services for water and
wastewater system projects between the City and CHA. requests that the Mayor and City
Commission authorize change order No. 1 to complete the upsizing and permitting of the design
for the Normandy Isles Water Main Replacement Project, in the not to exceed amount of
$236,021.02. increasing the total project cost from $637,500.39 to $873,521.41, work to be
performed by CHA. Public Works has reviewed the scope and finds it fair and reasonable
Once completed, the project will ensure reliable water service to North Beach.

Re: Proposal to provide Professional Services in connection with the City of Miami Beach's
Normandy Isles 36" Water Main Replacement
Dear Mr. Alfonso:
In response to your request, Nova Consulting, Inc. (NOVA) is pleased to submit this Scope
of Services request to provide additional professional engineering services consisting of
permitting support in connection with the Normandy Isles 36" Water Main Replacement in the
City of Miami Beach.
BACKGROUND
The City of Miami Beach has completed a hydraulic model of their potable water system and
determined that a design modification is required for this Water Main Replacement project.
Specifically, the Water Main along Normandy Dr. within the project limits must be upsized
from a 30-inch line to a 36-inch line (Please refer to Project Location Map- Attachment A). This
change will require additional coordination with the agencies having jurisdiction and resubmittal
of the required permit applications.
Since Nova had already started the permitting process and completed additional services
under the Phase II assessment task, CHA has requested Nova to:
• truncate and remove the remaining original permitting scope and use the remaining
funds to partially pay for this change order
• provide additional permitting services associated with this change in design
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Under this scope of work NOVA will assist CHA with the following tasks
TASK 3.0 ADDITIONAL PERMITTING SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH RESUBMITTAL
OF DESIGN CHANGE
Additional permitting services to be provided by Nova include coordination with the regulatory
agencies on the new design, preparation of the new application packages utilizing supporting
documentation and information to be provided by the design team, resubmittal of the application
packages already processed, coordination of responses to permit agencies' requests for
additional information resulting from design changes, and coordination with the design team. The
design team shall provide Nova with all necessary revisions and updates to technical
information and/or supporting documentation, as requested by the regulatory agencies.
The following permits are anticipated for resubmittal:
• Notice of Intent to Use the General Permit for Construction of Water Main Extensions
(Florida Department of Health) (Regulatory and Economic Resources)
• Utility Permit (Florida Department of Transportation)

• Note that the Contactor will be responsible for obtaining an Urban Forestry tree work permit
and comply with all permit requirements under Chapter 46 of the Miami Beach Code of
Ordinances.
Permitting activities include:
• Coordinate with the regulatory agencies to identify requirements for resubmittal of permit
applications.
• Prepare and submit n e w permit applications, including necessary design documents
and manufacturer shop drawings to be provided by the design team.
• Prepare response to regulatory Request for Additional Information (RAI) within
regulatory timeframes. One (1) RAI per permit application is anticipated.
• Monitor progress of permits through the regulatory process to facilitate permitting
process.
Deliverables:
• Updated Permit Matrix
• New Permit applications for each agency
TASK 5.0 ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY PERMITTING SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH
MW INSTALLATION
Based on the findings of the Level 1 Contamination Screening Evaluation areas of suspect soil and
groundwater contamination were investigated further to determine potential impacts to construction.
A select number of soil borings (SBs) and groundwater monitoring wells (MWs) were strategically
placed in the vicinity of potentially contaminated sites to evaluate soil and/or groundwater impacts
within the construction limits. The placement of some of the SBs and MWs were required to be
located within sidewalk areas in the vicinity of FDOT ROW to minimize impacts to private property.
Since the location of the SBs and MWs were not known at the time of proposal, City of Miami Beach
and FDOT ROW permits, including the preparation of Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plans, were not
anticipated nor included in the fee estimate. The following additional services were required to obtain
access to FDOT ROW to place the necessary SBs and MWs and complete the contamination
assessment:
• Preparation of MOT Plans
• Coordination with FDOT and City of Miami Beach Public Works
• Preparation, Submittal, and Tracking of ROW permits through FDOT and City of Miami
Beach
• Prepare responses to FDOT comments
• Attend walk through with FDOT Inspector
• Implementation of MOT, including barricade and signage rentals.
COMPENSATION
The total fee for this work, on a lump sum basis, amounts to $5,861.03, which includes the additional
permitting services under Task 3.0 and the additional work performed under Task 5.0. Please see
Table 1 below for a breakdown of the fees associated with each task. Invoices will be submitted to
CHA on a monthly basis.
