Ke Intended Outcome Su orted: Ensure well-designed quality capital projects. Issue: Shall the City Commission approve the Resolution and the corresponding funding allocation? Item Summary/Recommendation: As part of the City's objective to improve vehicular traffic mobility, the implementation of a Three-Step Plan, funded by State, County, and City funds, was formally approved and endorsed by Resolution on December 20,2000. Step III of the Plan, dealing with the introduction of street flow modification measures meant to better the control and management of traffic along the Ocean Drive Corridor, included changing 7'h and 8th streets, between Ocean Drive and Washington Ave. to one direction as follows: 7'h Street traffic would flow in an East-bound direction and 8th Street traffic would flow in a West-bound direction. The benefits and opportunities for additional one-way street pairs would be analyzed further as part of other City street improvement projects. The advanced design status (90% complete) of the Flamingo / Lummus Right of Way (ROW) Infrastructure Improvement Project - which includes proposed improvements to 7'h and 8th Streets - as well as the advanced construction stage (nearing completion ahead of schedule) of the Washington Avenue Project - whose proximity and interrelationship with the Lummus Project is obvious - provides an opportunity to facilitate the necessary modifications to 7'h and 8th Streets. Amending the existing Design Build Agreement with Ric - Man to incorporate this additional work will offer the advantage of completing these improvements at equivalent pricing, but sooner than through the typical RFQ / bidding processes. Acceleration of this work is further recommended to mitigate flooding issues along 7'h and 8th Streets. Advisory Board Recommendation: I N/A Financial Information: w $304,690.81 Account G.O.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the resolution. ANAL YSIS The City of Miami Beach has implemented various programs to improve the quality of life of residents in the City's 13 neighborhoods via 24 capital improvement projects. The Capital Improvement Planned Progress Initiative is funded by Series 2000 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2000 Storm Water Revenue Bonds, and 1999 General Obligation Bonds. Construction of the Washington Avenue Improvements Project - Phase II, IV and V From 5th Street to 16th Street is presently well ahead of schedule and in the final stages of completion. This project has been implemented using the Capital Improvement Projects Office standard Planned Progress Initiative model for Right of Way projects and is funded by General Obligation, Water and Storm Water Bond Funds. The purpose of the Planned Commission Memorandum January 11, 2006 Amendment to Agreement with Ric-MAN International, Inc., ih & 8th Streets Improvements Page 2 of 4 Progress Initiative model is to facilitate community involvement and information as well as to coordinate construction citywide. As part of the City's objective to improve vehicular traffic mobility, the implementation of a Three-Step Plan, funded by State, County, and City funds, was formally approved and endorsed by Resolution No. 2000-24221 on December 20, 2000. Step III of the Plan, dealing with the introduction of street flow modification measures meant to better the control and management of traffic along the Ocean Drive Corridor, included changing 7'h and 8th streets, between Ocean Drive and Washington Ave. to one direction as follows: 7'h Street traffic would flow in an East-bound direction and 8th Street traffic would flow in a West-bound direction. The benefits and opportunities for additional one-way street pairs would be analyzed further as part of other City street improvement projects. The original street flow modifications were a component of the Collins Ave. FDOT Project, which will be funded in the future by the State through a Joint Project Agreement (JPA). The City will use available funding now to expedite the work and include the costs in the JPA in the future. The City and FDOT are currently working on expediting the Collins Ave. Project. The advanced design status (90% complete) of the Flamingo / Lummus Right of Wa~ (ROW) Infrastructure Improvement Project - which includes proposed improvements to 7' and 8th Streets - as well as the advanced construction stage (nearing completion ahead of schedule) of the Washington Avenue Project - whose proximity and interrelationship with the Lummus Project is obvious - provides an opportunity to facilitate the necessary modifications to 7'h and 8th Streets. Amending the existing Design Build Agreement with RMI to incorporate this additional work will offer the advantage of completing these improvements at equivalent pricing, yet sooner than through the typical RFQ / bidding processes. Pursuing this option further eliminates any construction overlaps with the work just completed on Washington Avenue. Acceleration of this work is further recommended to mitigate flooding issues along 7'h and 8th Streets. General improvements include restoration and enhancement to the function and aesthetics of the following: . Repair or replacement of existing water mains to meet City Water Master Plan recommendations. . Upgrade of a priority storm water basin within the project area to meet City storm water Master Plan / BODR recommendations. . Street resurfacing and new pavement markings. . Swale restoration, and/or curb and gutter restoration or upgrades. . Repair, extension, or widening of sidewalks and crossing ramps to provide continuous, ADA-Title III compatible separated pedestrian ways. . Installation of new pedestrian-scale street lighting and/or upgrade of existing lighting to correct deficiencies. . Providing enhanced landscaping, development of additional areas for planting opportunities, and new / enhanced irrigation to support such plantings within the street right-of-way, as consistent with the approved BODR. Commission Memorandum January 11 , 2006 Amendment to Agreement with Ric-MAN International, Inc., ih & 8th Streets Improvements Page 3 of 4 The work requires that all above-ground improvements be coordinated with existing and proposed above-ground and underground infrastructure improvements, which may include the following tasks: . Replacement of water mains and sanitary sewer lines . Limited coordination with other entities, including but not limited to, Florida Power and Light Company, BellSouth, Atlantic Broadband and their vendors. Underground water, sewer and drainage infrastructure improvements for the ROW Program are generally identified in: the City of Miami Beach Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Master Plan, (March 1997), the City of Miami Beach Water System Master Plan, (November, 1994), and the Citywide Sanitary Sewer Infiltration and Inflow Mitigation Program, and in subsequent amendments to the plans and decisions of the City's Public Works Department. In addition, the work shall include surveying and obtaining permits from all governmental agencies having jurisdiction in Miami Beach as well as Construction Management Services during construction. The City's Program Manager, Hazen and Sawyer, P.C., shall serve as the focal point of contact, with regard to all aspects of this scope of services. In recognition of the need to move forward with the Project, on September 8, 2004, the City Commission authorized the issuance of an RFP for engineering, urban design, and landscape architecture services needed for the design, bid and award, and construction administration of the 7'h and 8th Street Improvements from Washington Avenue to Ocean Drive. RMI's Design Build team is comprised of the following highly specialized, locally recognized firms: A&P Consulting Transportation Engineers - will provide drainage, traffic and roadway / hardscape design service; Neitzel Design Group - will provide landscape design services; and Protocole Corporation - will assist in public relations coordination for this project. These firms have been selected to provide their expertise on specific items that have been identified by the City of Miami Beach and/or existing site conditions. RMI's team has years of professional experience in South Florida. All team members have previously collaborated on successful project completions. Several negotiation sessions were held and agreement reached on a required scope of services to be provided for a guaranteed maximum price of $1,642,301.22 (Attachment A). Project funding previously appropriated for the Flamingo/Lummus Bid Pack B of which the work is a component, in the amount of $665,920.28 is available from the General Obligation Bond (Fund No. 384); $671,690.13 is available from the 2000 Storm Water Bonds (Fund No. 428); and $304,690.81 is available from the 2000 Water and Sewer Bonds (Fund No. 424). The negotiated guaranteed maximum price is within the general range of costs and design percentages for streetscape projects that the City has been approving recently. The Administration recommends award of the agreement and approving the use of previously appropriated funds. CONCLUSION The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the resolution, and amend the DESIGN BUILD professional service Agreement with Ric - Man Commission Memorandum January 11, 2006 Amendment to Agreement with Ric-MAN International, Inc., ih & 8th Streets Improvements Page 4 of 4 International, Inc., increasing the amount of the Agreement by $1,642,301.22, to provide engineering, permitting, construction, and construction administration services for the 7'h and 8th Street Corridor Infrastructure Improvement Project; with funding available from the following previously appropriated sources for Flamingo/Lummus Bid Pack B of which the work is a component: $665,920.28 from the General Obligation Bond (Fund No. 384); $671,690.13 from the 2000 Storm Water Bonds (Fund No. 428); and $304,690.81 from the 2000 Water and Sewer Bonds (Fund No. 424).

Work remaining includes miscellaneous sidewalk / curb and gutter repairs, median reconstruction and landscaping, signalization at selected intersections and pavement milling and resurfacing. Hazen and Sawyer believes that at this juncture it would be advantageous to the City of Miami Beach to realize the benefits of utilizing the Design - Build teams presence in the Washington Avenue Corridor to further construction efforts in the adjacent Flamingo Lummus neighborhood. In particular, we recommend that the City approve the Amendment prepared to add the completion of design and construction of improvements proposed for 7'h and 8th Streets between Washington Avenue and Ocean Drive. This Amendment will provide for continuity and coordination between work proposed at the median in Washington Avenue and the 7'h and 8th Street intersection relating to the conversion of these two streets to one -way pairs as contemplated in the Three Step Ocean Drive Concurrency Mitigation Plan - Step III (reference City Resolution No. 2000 -24221 dated December 20, 2000). Additionally, adoption of the Amendment will demonstrate to the business owners along these corridors, the City's commitment to progress the completion of the right of way improvement program as expeditiously as possible through judicious use of available funding. It should be noted that the negotiated price for the Amendment work is consistent with pricing from the Washington Avenue project which was bid over two years ago.

ANALYSIS Approximately two years ago, the City began collecting concurrency mitigation funds from the permitted development/redevelopment or change in use projects for Ocean Drive. The purpose of these funds was to implement transportation projects that would help improve mobility and to better manage traffic congestion in and around the Ocean Drive area. After holding several meetings with local stakeholders (including residental representatives), the City proposed a Traffic Management Plan for Ocean Drive, which was formally approved and endorsed by resolution of the Ocean Drive Improvement Association, meeting on November 14, 2000. The Plan includes three Action Step items designated to solve specific problems, as follows: Action Step I. Installation of Si~age Objective: Reduce the peak-hour directional split along Ocean Drive, which presently is 80% northbound and 20% southbound. This heavy directional movement contributes significantly to the traffic delays and congestion along the corridor during the evening peak. hours. AGENDA ITEM f(.l (( DATE 12- 2D -00 Commission Memorandum - 12/20/00 Traffic Management Plan/Ocean Drive, Page 2 Solution: Implementation of left-turn restrictions on side street approaches (Right Turn Only) onto Ocean Drive from 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th Streets. These turn restrictions will be enforced during peak times only, Thursdays through Sundays, from 10:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. Fundini: Signage preparation and installation will be done by the City utilizing $3,000 in Ocean Drive Mitigation Program funds, which need to be appropriated for the purpose. Action Step 11- Installation of Traffic Signals Ol)jective: Reduce the number of vehicles accessing Ocean Drive via 5th Street and 10th Street and create alternative points for easy entry. These two intersections require a great deal of police resources to manage the large number of vehicle and pedestrian movements. Solution: Installation of two (2) new traffic signals along Ocean Drive, and two (2) on Collins Avenue. The new traffic signals would be located at the following intersections: 7th Street at Ocean Drive, and 11th Street at Ocean Drive; 7th Street at Collins Avenue, and 13th Street at Collins Avenue. The signal on Ocean Drive at 11th Street will be designed with a lead left turning arrow to facilitate northbound (Ocean Drive) to westbound (11th Street) movement. This feature will be added also to the existing 10th Street traffic signal. The installation of signals along Collins Avenue will be included as part of the Collins Avenue (5th to 15th Street) project. Fundinz: The Ocean Drive signals at 7th and 11 th Streets, as well as the addition of a lead left-turn arrow at 10th Street, will be funded and implemented by Miami-Dade County's Road Impact Fee Program. The Collins Avenue signals will be funded and installed as part ofa Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) with the Florida Department of Transportation for the Collins Avenue project, from 5th to 15th Street, scheduled for construction in 2002-03. Action Step III - Introduction of Street Flow Modification Measures OQjective: Better control and management of vehicular traffic along the Ocean Drive corridor during late night, weekends, and special events, as well as increased effectiveness of police enforcement through the introduction of street flow modification measures. Solution: Change certain east-west side streets to one direction, as a possible single lane connector links, between Ocean Drive and W ashington Avenue. The recommended changes are as follows: 7th Street (eastbound) and 8th Street (westbound). The benifits and opportunities for additional one-way pairs will be analyzed further, as part of the Collins Avenue project. Commission Memorandum. 12/20/00 Traffic Management Plan/Ocean Drive, Page 3 Funding: These flow modifications are components of the scheduled FDOT project for Collins Avenue, from 5th to 15th Street, therefore funded by the State under a JP A for the project, which is schedule from construction in 2000-03. As endorsed by the Ocean Drive Improvement Association on November 14, 2000, and by the Transportation and Parking Committee on December 4, 2000, the Administration recommends approval of the Ocean Drive Traffic Management Plan and its enabling Resolution.
