I' Ensure well-maintained infrastructure.
Issue:
Shall the Mayor and City Commission approve the appropriation of $550,000 from the Storm Water
I Reserve Series 2000 Bond Fund?
Item Summary/Recommendation:
In 1996, the Sunset Harbour Streetscape Project was constructed, which included limited
modifications of the storm water drainage system in the area bounded20th
by Street, Purdy Avenue,
Dade Boulevard, and Alton Road. Subsequent to the construction of the Project, partly due to the
water quality level of service restrictions imposed by DERM, the storm water drainage improvements
which were constructed did not resolve the storm water drainage problems which existed in the
Sunset Harbour neighborhood.
Following continued citizen complaints about continued flooding, the City designed
improvements/modifications that would address the water quality requirements and improve the
existing water drainage system in the Sunset Harbour neighborhood. The Sunset Harbour's Home
Owners Association is aware of and supportive of the proposed drainage system improvements.
The proposed improvements include installation of pump stations at the three existing deep drainage
well locations on Sunset Harbour and valves to prevent bay water back flowing into the stormwater
system. In 2003, the first phase of these improvements, consisting of retrofitting the existing drainage
wells with pump station facilities, were constructed. Structures for the proposed pumps were installed
at the three locations. Due to funding constrants and in agreement with the Sunset Harbour Task
Force, pUmps were installed at only one location where flooding was most critical. Flooding at the
other two locations is still a problem that can only be resolved by installing pump systems to increase
the discharge capacity into the existing wells.
The Administration recommends the appropriation of $550,000 from the Storm Water Reserve Series
2000 Bond Fund (428) Public Works Allocation.

A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING APPROPRIATION OF $550,000
FROM THE STORMWATER REVENUE SERIES 2000 BOND FUND 428, FOR
STORMWATER IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AREAS OF SUNSET HARBOUR
DRIVE ( PURDY AVENUE ) AND 20TH STREET.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
On October 18, 2000, the Stormwater Revenue Bonds, Series 2000, provided $52,170,000
for City projects. The Stormwater Utility is responsible for protecting the waterways and
removal of stormwater from the roadways. The Utility manages and controls the amount of
runoff that is discharged in the stormwater system. It is also responsible for maintaining the
stormwater conveyance systems, relieving flooding conditions, and complying with the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements.
The City's stormwater management system has two primary objectives; flood protection or
the removal of stormwater'for the City right-of-ways and water quality improvement. To
successfully accomplish the flood protection goal, the City meets this objective by designing
and constructing stormwater gravity wells or injection wells with pumps which discharge the
stormwater into the groundwater aquifer.
In 1996, the Sunset Harbour Streetscape Project was constructed, which included a
complete modification of the stormwater drainage system in the area bounded by 20th
Street, Sunset Harbour Drive (Purdy Avenue), Dade Boulevard, and Alton Road.
In response to citizen complaints in 2002, the City issued Task Order No. 26 to the City's
drainage conSultant, CH2M-HilI, under an existing contract for a Citywide Stormwater
Management Program to design and permit improvements/modifications to the existing
drainage system on Sunset Harbour Drive and 20th Street in order to alleviate the flooding
situation. The Sunset Harbour's Home Owners Association is aware and supportive of the
proposed drainage system improvements. The design included the modification of three
existing drainage well structures by installing appropriate pollution reduction boxes and
pump housing structures at the following locations:
In Maurice Gibb Memorial Park (formerly Island View Park) at the intersection of
Dade Boulevard and Sunset Harbour Drive (Purdy Avenue);
At the entrance to the Marina located at the intersection of Sunset Harbour Drive
and 18th Street;
In the median strip at the intersection of 20th Street and West Avenue.
Due to funding constraints and in agreement with the Sunset Harbour Task Force, the
project was to be completed in two phases. The initial phase was to complete the
construction of the pollution reduction boxes and pump housing structures at all locations
and installation of a drainage pump system only at the entrance to the Marina (Sunset
Harbour Drive and 18th Street). Once funding was available, the two remaining locations
would be retrofitted with drainage pump systems.
On September 25, 2002, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2002-24986
appropriating funds and awarding the contract to Tran Construction for the above described
initial phase of drainage improvements.
In 2003, construction was COmpleted with a pump installation at the entrance to the Marina
located in the intersection of Sunset Harbour Drive and 18th Street and with provisions to
install drainage pumps at the other two locations at some point in the future.
Presently, these two other locations continue to flood and in order to alleviate the flooding,
Public Works is proceeding with the installation of the drainage pumps at the two locations.
The design is completed and construction is scheduled to start in early February 2006, and
be completed by end of March 2006.
In order to construct/install ~he drainage pumps on the two remaining drainage structures,
Public Works is requesting $550,000 from the Storm Water Revenue Series 2000 Bond.
These funds would be used to purchase drainage pumps, drainage pipes, tideflex valves,
and pay the cost of both electrical and mechanical work.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends the appropriation of $550,000 from the Stormwater
Revenue Series 2000 Bond Fund 428 Public Works allocation for stormwater improvements
in the areas of Sunset Harbour Drive and 20th Street.
