A. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND
The City of Miami Beach consists of approximately seven (7) square miles of area, with a population
approaching 100,000 persons. The City has undergone a major revitalization of the activities of the
private sector in the past two decades. The City now plans to undertake an extensive program of
capital improvements and municipal infrastructure replacement over the next seven (7) years, funded
through the issuance of a combination of revenue and general obligation bonds, added to the City's
on-going capital improvement projects funded through General Fund, Redevelopment Agency,
Federal CDBG, Grants and other funding sources. The total scope of these capital improvements
will approach $500 Million during this period. The City wishes to manage this massive spending
program effectively, and is therefore seeking several experienced and qualified professional firms
to assist with the coordination and administration of components of this program.
This Request for Qualifications is being issued to obtain qualifications of professional firms with
the capability and experience to manage City-funded construction projects within the public right-of-
way. The types of projects which may require these services includes: water distribution and sewage
collection systems, pumping stations, force mains, storm drainage systems, including injection wells
and disposal outfalls, street grading, pavement milling, paving, curb and gutter installation, striping,
sidewalks, pavers, irrigation systems, landscaping, recreation facilities, building construction and
renovation, and other construction activities as specified by the City. The scope and duration of an
individual project may range from 60 days to multiple years, however the full capital development
program is expected to require from five to seven years. Other similar RFQ's are expected to be
issued later for firms to assist with Parks programs and Facilities construction.

TO:
Mayor Neisen O. Kasdin and
Members of the City Commission
DA TE: May 24, 2000
FROM:
Lawrence A. Levy I W
City Manager ~
SUBJECT:
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING
THE ISSUANCE OF A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) FROM
QUALIFIED FIRMS WITH EXPERIENCE AND CAPABILITY TO
PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR
CAPITAL RIGHT-OF-WAY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS FOR THE
CITY.
ADMINISTRA TION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
FUNDING:
Proposed funding will be provided by the 1999 G.O. Bond Issue, and the proposed
Water/Wastewater and Stormwater Revenue Bond Issues.
BACKGROUND:
The allocation of $53.0 MM from the General Obligation Bond issue, plus the $64.8 MM Water and
Wastewater Bond issue, the $66.2 MM Stormwater Bond issue, and $28.6 MM from other sources
for a total of $212.6 MM for infrastructure projects to be completed over the next seven (7) years,
combined with the City's on-going capital improvement projects funded through the General Fund,
RDA and other funding sources, are projected to place a strain on the City's ability to manage and
administer the large number and scope of projects planned.
The Construction Management Section of the Public Works Department has added staff over the last
few months and has plans to add additional staff members systematically, on an as-needed basis.
In spite of this staff, it is recognized by the Administration that the number of large and complex
projects planned over the next seven years will exceed the capacity of this Section.
The Finance and Citywide Projects Committee reviewed the issue of retaining a professional
Program/Construction Management firm for these projects at the meeting held on May 8, 2000.
The Committee recommended that the City issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) from firms
with experience and capability as Program/Construction Managers.
AGENDA ITEM
e,F
DATE S-2~-OO
The Administration is recommending the hiring of a firm to undertake overall program management.
This type of service has been utilized effectively in other cities to coordinate and control large scale
programs of capital improvement. The Administration proposes to issue a Request for Qualifications
(RFQ) to obtain responses from professional firms with the capability, experience and field
expertise to manage City-funded construction projects that are related to right-of-way improvements.
The types of projects which may require these services include: water distribution and sewage
collection systems, pumping stations, force mains, storm drainage systems, including injection
wells and disposal outfalls, street grading, pavement milling, paving, curb and gutter installation,
striping, sidewalks, pavers, irrigation systems and landscaping as specified by the City. The scope
and duration of individual projects may range from 60 days to multiple years. A partial listing of
projects currently planned is attached with a spreadsheet showing anticipated spending by year over
the next seven years.
The City is seeking the services of professional Program/Construction Management firms, with the
experience and capability to provide professional services that may include the administration and
management of the overall capital spending program, including all the underground and streetscape
projects planned to be completed for the City. The selected firm will be responsible for working in
cooperation with officials of the City and with the City's consulting engineers and/or architects to
supervise and administer the construction of assigned projects, and will be responsible for overall
program management. The firm will advise the City on the most effective way to implement the
overall program.
The selected firm, in coordination with City staff, will coordinate the design, preparation of
construction documents, bidding and establishment of construction schedules. They will review
construction bids, prepare monthly cash draw projections, monitor monthly construction-related
expenditures and provide coordination between active construction projects in the same or adjacent
areas. The selected firm will assist with the overall coordination of the City's programs with FDOT,
Miami-Dade County Traffic and Public Works Departments, and private developers.
The Program/Construction Manager will also assist in the development and implementation of the
financial program for the each bond issue. The Program/Construction Manager will assist the City
in regard to public information and public meetings which may be required in relation to assigned
construction projects.
The Program/Construction Manager will provide overall coordination and management, including,
but not limited to the following: advising as to the most effective method of contracting for the
work, whether to use conventional "Low-Bid" procurement, or "Design-Build", or "Construction
Manager-at-Risk", or a combination, develop work plans, schedules and budgets, coordinate project
design, procurement, contract negotiation and contract administration, visit the jobsites regularly to
monitor construction progress, provide value engineering throughout the project, review, monitor
and approve payment requisitions from the contractor and consultant, monitor project funding,
prepare financial projections as required, provide bimonthly progress reports and status information
on the assigned project(s) to City officials, attend and address meetings with City officials,
neighborhood groups, and private citizens concerning the project, respond to questions and concerns
about the project at City Commission meetings, prepare Commission Memoranda, review plans and
specifications, review and approve Requests for Change Orders, maintain files of all documentation
and correspondence relating to the project in an orderly system which will be submitted to the City
upon completion of the project. The firm will ensure compliance by all contractors with safety and
affirmative action policies, review and monitor traffic plans and safeguard existing facilities during
construction. If legal issues should arise relating to the project after completion, the selected firm
will provide records, depositions and testimony about the project if necessary on a supplementary
fee basis. Firms with extensive experience and capability in construction and/or program
management will be invited to submit details of their qualifications and experience.
Funding for this activity will be from the approved 1999 General Obligation Bond Funds, and from
proposed W ater/W astewater and Stormwater Revenue Bond issues. The cost of these services is
estimated to range from 8 to 12% of total project costs for the combination of both Program
Management and Construction Management services, plus reimbursables. These services will be
crucial during the implementation of the Capital Improvement Program.
CONCLUSION:
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the Resolution
approving and authorizing the issuance of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) from qualified firms
with experience and capability to provide professional program management services for capital
righ:~W.R:fral;ure projects for the City.
