ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
As authorized by Resolution No. 2000-23834, of March 15th, 2000, the Administration has
negotiated the attached Agreement with Carr Smith Corradino, to provide a Feasibility Study for an
Electric Shuttle Facility/Intermodal Center, pursuant to RFP No. 27-99/00. At City Commission
request, the scope of services for the study was amended to extend the search for potential sites as
far north as legally possible, beyond the area originally described as "in or near South Beach." The
study will not exceed $67,800 in cost, and is funded at $47,800 by a Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) grant, and at $20,000 by the Miami Beach Parking Enterprise Fund.
Additionally, it will take approximately six (6) months to complete, and will recommend either a
single joint-use site, or different sites to house the shuttle facility and the intermodal center functions.
In order for the City to expand its shuttle fleet beyond the present eleven (11) vehicles, it is essential
that a larger and well suited storage/maintenance facility be in place as soon as possible. No room
is available in Terminal Island to accommodate additional shuttle vehicles and the large electric
batteries that power them. Three (3) sets of batteries are required for each vehicle, if the vehicle is
to perform efficiently and effectively. The larger the number of vehicles in a fleet, the larger the
amount of required batteries and battery-rack space. Without a new facility, the Electrowave Shuttle
project has no future; therefore the need and importance of conducting this site feasibility study. The
Administration recommends approval of the attached Resolution and Agreement.

MIAMI BEACH
ELECTRIC SHUTTLE FACILITY / INTERMODAL TRANSIT CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Miami Beach Electric Shuttle Facility / Intermodal Transit Center Feasibility Study will
evaluate nine potential sites for their ability to house the new facilities and function at optimal
standards. It will also examine the merits of separate and joint facilities. This information will
be summarized in a brochure detailing the process used to determine the best site, in addition
to the conceptual design and economic opportunities for public / private partnerships. The
conceptual design will be a light examination of site issues in terms of site size and ability to
handle preliminary programming needs and will include several conceptual depictions of the
facility. The economic aspects of the study will be more detailed and provide information on
project cost and financing. It is envisioned by the city that more intensive transportation, traffic,
transit, architectural and civil engineering analysis will be required during the design phase of
such an initiative. The scope of this project has nine prospective sites to be evaluated, these
include:
South Beach
1. 5th Street, and Michigan Avenue
2. 5th Street, and Alton Road
3. West Avenue, and Dade Boulevard
4. Convention Center Lots
5. City Hall Parking Lot
Middle Beach
6. Dade Boulevard and Pine Tree (current Public Works Yard)
7. Indian Creek, and Collins Avenue {Mirabella}

TASK 1:
FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
$ 27,000
This task is designed to present a feasibility analysis for each of the nine prospective sites. Each
site will be evaluated based on the criteria listed below and compared in a matrix. Those sites
that do not meet the criteria will fall out of the matrix to create a short list of potential sites.
These criteria will examine each site for its ability to accommodate the Electric Shuttle Facility,
the Intermodal Facility or a combined facility. The following items will be performed as part of
this task:
A. Develop Location Map
Each site will be located on a base map of the project area, and the square footage available
will be provided.
B. Impacts to Surrounding Area
A description of impacts to the surrounding area will be provided for each site.
C. Circulation Plan
A circulation plan map will be presented detailing potential connections with existing routes
and the location of other modes.
D. Evaluation of Multiple Site Advantages/Disadvantages
A general description of the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing a single or multiple sites
for the required facilities will be provided.
E. Potential Rail Transit / Other Mode Connection
A textual description of the opportunity for connections with other modes of transportation in
the near and long term will be provided. This will include future connections, greenway
connections and other transit needs to supplement existing and planned transit. A map of such
connections will also be provided.
F. Preliminary Costs Estimation
Preliminary conceptual costs will be estimated for planning, design, and construction of single
or joint facilities.
G. Examination of Potential Funding Scenarios
An examination of potential funding sources and scenarios for the estimated costs will be
provided.
H. Minimum Square Footage of Facility Type
This will examine the minimum square footage for each facility type and compare that square
footage with that of the proposed development sites.
I. Prioritization Criteria and Evaluative Matrix
In conjunction with the city, an evaluative matrix will be created based on a set of criteria,
including program needs, and each of the nine sites will be examined and ranked.

TASK 2:
MARKETING/CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
$ 37,000
This task will involve a preliminary market analysis of conditions in the immediate area and an
examination of potential public/private development scenarios. A conceptual design of the
facility will be produced examining issues of site planning, space planning and building design.
The following items will be performed as part of this task.
A. Facilities Programming
Corradino will work with the city to develop a preliminary facilities program for both the Electric
Shuttle Facility and the Intermodal Facility. This will entail site visits to existing facilities. Such
programming will be utilized for the individual facilities and a joint facility. Issues may include:
1 . bus storage
2. service bays
3. washing facilities
4. storage areas (parts, equipment)
5. dispatching area
6. employee areas / lunch areas
7. restrooms
8. ventilators
9. drainage
10. fuel tanks
11 . mechanic shop
12. transfer stations
13. passenger waiting areas
14. intermodal connection area
15. visitors center
16. commercial area
1 7. parking structure
18. minimum square footage for each facility type
B. Market Analysis
Once a short list of viable properties is identified for the charging/intermodal facility, Lambert
Advisory will complete a preliminary analysis of the joint development potential of each of the
properties for non-transit revenue producing development. A memorandum will be prepared
which compares the market potential of each site, and the scale of development that could
reasonably be expected to occur. Lambert Advisory will analyze three potential sites.
For each short-listed site we will analyze the potential of developing the following key joint
uses:
. Transit Related Retail
. Non-Transit Retail and Restaurants
. Office
. Hotel
. Residential
. Conference Center/Meeting Space

Demand Analysis
We will begin our research by providing a high-level overview of demand conditions that will
impact each use going forward. For this, we will analyze:
1. Population and household income growth patterns and trends by sub-area of City;
2. Mix of households by income cohort in South Beach;
3. Employment growth by category in South Beach;
4. Visitor growth trends and profile;
5. Visitor expenditure patterns;
6. Expenditure patterns by good;
7. Meeting trends and patterns;
8. Traffic patterns and trends for each of the sites;
Supply Analysis
Once demand conditions are understood, we will collect data on the existing and proposed
market for relevant land uses. Given the limited scope of this analysis we will use existing
sources of data and information as much as possible, supported by field survey analysis where
necessary. We will collect data for each use on:
1. Size of market;
2. Usage rates or occupancy;
3. Mix of projects by age;
4. Average rents per square foot for commercial space, rooms for hotels, and units for

Joint Development Potential
At the conclusion of the demand and supply analysis we will regroup with Corradino to
begin to attach specific real estate uses for which there is growing demand to specific
sites based upon location, access, visibility, size, and surrounding area. Some sites
may have very limited joint development potential while others may have multiple
opportunities.
Meetings
Lambert Advisory will attend two staff meetings and one public meeting to present
market analysis findings.

C. Conceptual Design
The general scope of the conceptual design phase will include graphic representations of the
site(sL preliminary site plan(s), building elevations and renderings. Up to two different options
will be explored in this phase: a) an intermodal center with a remote maintenance facility, and
b) an integrated intermodal center and maintenance facility on one site. Additional uses will be
integrated into the various schemes as dictated by the Market Analysis.
The program for the intermodal center and maintenance facility will be consistent with the
outline described in Task 2: Part A: Facilities Programming.
Product
The result of this task will be a brochure designed as a tool to advertise and market the facility.
This will be graphic in nature and sufficient to cover all items in the study. The brochure will
include all relevant data, images and drawings as well as a list of viable uses and the scope
and size of potential joint development for each of the short listed sites and will be part of a
matrix.

TASK 3: PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT $ 2,500
Public involvement will include one public workshop designed to provide adequate coverage
and consensus to this project. This workshop will be held approximately at the project's mid
point and will focus on presenting preliminary feasibility analysis as well as design and
marketing issues. It will be a forum where public input will be taken.
The date for the 3-hour public workshop will be provided during the first month of the project.
It is envisioned that a more intense public involvement process will be required during the
actual design of the facility at a later date.
DIRECT EXPENSES
$ 1 ,300
Such expenses will be used for miscellaneous items that occur in project production.
