On November 25, 2003, as part of the City's Right-of-Way (ROW) Infrastructure Improvement
Program, the City Commission authorized the issuance of a Request for Qualifications for
engineering, urban design, and landscape architecture services needed for the planning, design, bid
and award, and construction administration of the South Pointe Redevelopment Area Phase III, IV,
and V, Neighborhood Right-of-Way Improvement Project.
On January 15, 2004, (RFQ) No. 08-03/04 was issued, on February 17, 2004, eight responses were
received, and on July 13, 2004, the Evaluation Committee met to discuss the qualifications of the
eight (8) firms. The Committee "short listed" the proposals and invited four of the eight firms to
make presentations. At the end of presentations and deliberations, Chen and Associates (C&A),
was ranked as the number one firm by the Evaluation Committee.
On September 8, 2004, the City Commission approved Resolution No. 2004-25664, authorizing
negotiations with C&A. Negotiation sessions were held and an agreement was reached on the
required scope of services and C&A's fee to perform the required scope of work previously outlined.
On May 18, 2005, the City Commission authorized the execution of an Agreement between the City
of Miami Beach and C&A to provide the aforementioned services for the Project.
The project planning process has followed the standard Neighborhood Right-of-Way (ROW)
Infrastructure Improvement Project sequence, from Project Kick-off meeting to Community Design
Workshops (CDW). The Kick-off Meeting with other City Departments was held on June 10, 2005,
and the Site Reconnaissance was held on June 17, 2005. A Visioning Session followed with all
relevant City Departments on October 5, 2005. CDW NO.1 was held on November 28, 2005. Input
from CDW No. 1 was analyzed and since no material comments were presented and resident and
business owner feedback showed support for the Recommended Plan presented by C&A, the CIP
team directed Chen & Associates to move forward with the preparation of the Basis of Design
Report (BODR).
The South Pointe Streetscape Improvements Project is completely funded by the South Pointe
Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Funds, and has no General
Obligation (GO) Bond Funding components. However, as part of the Administration's commitment
to keeping the GO Bond Oversight Committee informed on the projects outside the Committee's
purview, the Administration presented the Draft BODR for the Project as an informational item
during the April 3, 2006 meeting. The BODR was also presented as an informational item during
the April 1 0, 2006 Historic Preservation Board (HPB) meeting.
Based on the consensus achieved at the aforementioned meetings and additional feedback from
City staff, a BODR was prepared and submitted for circulation to City Departments for review. Since
staff from the various City Departments has been involved in the Planning Process from its
inception, no changes to the Recommended Plan in the BODR are anticipated. The finalized BODR
with Departmental input will be the basis for the improvements. The current project schedule calls
for completion of the Design Phase in 2007.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends approval of the South Pointe Redevelopment Area (RDA) Phase
III, IV and V, Neighborhood 12 Right-of-Way Improvement Project BODR as submitted. By
approving the BODR, the City will officially end the planning phase for this project and accept the
design concept contained therein. The Administration will be able to proceed with the design
development, construction documents, bidding and award, and construction phases of the project.
