SUBJECT:
A RESO ION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING
THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT, IN
THE AMOUNT OF $23,760.00, TO THE AGREEMENT WITH BERMELLO,
AJAMIL AND PARTNERS, INC. FOR ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND
ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE 13TH
STREET MUNICIPAL PARKING GARAGE AND ADJACENT SURFACE
PARKING LOT.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution.
FUNDING:
Funding is available from the 1996-A Parking Revenue Bond fund 485 - 13th Street Garage Project.
BACKGROUND:
On June 18, 1994, the City entered into an agreement with the firm of Bermello, Ajamil and
Partners, Inc. (B&A) for architectural design and engineering services for the expansion of the 13th
Street Municipal Garage. The documents were completed and permitted by the City on July 15,
1996. At that time the Administration decided to pursue a change of scope on the project and began
discussions with the consultant to redesign some portions ofthe original project. These discussions
were eventually stopped while the Administration, Mayor and City Commission decided the extent
of the new desired scope for the project.
On March 17, 1997, the Capital Improvements and Finance Committee (now the Finance and
Citywide Projects Committee) reviewed the Administration's recommendations for Municipal
Parking Projects and the funding mechanisms both available and planned. At the meeting, the
Committee prioritized the renovation and enhancement of the 13th Street Garage at an estimated

cost of $726, 127 to be funded out of the 1997 Parking Revenue Bond Issue, and the Reallocation
of the remaining funds in the 1996 Parking Revenue Bond Issue (Bond Fund 485).
Based on the Administration's recommendation and the estimated cost of $47,810 per parking
space, the Committee decided against expanding the garage, and approved the enhancement and
renovation of the 13th Street Garage and the development of the adjacent surface parking lot. (It was
reported to the Committee that the City would gain approximately 25 parking spaces through the
development of the adjacent surface lot at a maximum cost of$1,160/parking space).
In October 1997, the Administration met with B&A to discuss changes to the scope of the project,
as approved by the Capital Improvements and Finance Committee in March 1997. The
Administration requested the consultant to provide a fee proposal for the scope of the
additional/revised services for the project. On May 1, 1998, the Administration received a final
proposal for $23,760 from the Consultant (B&A). The Administration has deemed the additional
fees reasonable and necessary to complete the renovation of the garage, and the completion of the
adjacent surface parking lot.
The Consu.ltant's final proposal for additional/revised services is as follows:
. Expansion of existing office as a central cashiering station and the addition of a restroom.
. Elimination of retail space along Collins Avenue, maximizing the number ofparking spaces
in the facility.
. Elimination of the proposed four story expansion of the facility, and the addition of plans
and specifications to provide a permanent surface lot in the area of the previously proposed
expanSIon.
. Replacment of existing elevators with new elevator equipment.
. Provision of a new emergency generator.
ANALYSIS:
Based upon the City Commission's acceptance of the Capital Improvements and Finance Committee
report on March 19, 1997, the Administration concurs and recommends that it would be more cost
effective to renovate the existing Parking Garage and not provide the proposed four story expansion
of the facility. The previously planned expansion would not provide sufficient additional spaces to
justify the costs to the City. The development of the adjacent surface lot would provide close to one-
half the spaces that the proposed expansion of the garage would accomplish, at a savings to the City
of approximately, $2,733,826.
CONCLUSION:
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the additional
services from B&A in the amount of$23,760, for the redesign and plans and specifications for the
renovation of the 13th Street Garage.
