Budget
AGENDA ITEM c..1 P
DATE /./2-00
On November 2, 1999, the voters of Miami Beach approved the issuance of an approximate $92
Million General Obligation (GO) Bonds. Included in the $92 Million was $24,830,000 for Parks and
Beaches. Six (6) projects currently under contract with BermeIlo, Ajamil and Partners, Inc. are
included in. the Parks and Beaches program. These include South Pointe Park, North Shore Park,
Lummus Park, North Shore Open Space Park, Pinetree Park and the Parks Maintenance Facility. The
improvements proposed for these parks under the $92 Million General Obligation (GO) Bonds
include but are not limited to the expansion of the North Beach Youth Center to include a second
floor, new decorative perimeter fencing, security and sports lighting, sport courts renovations and
multi-purpose recreation rooms. These improvements were determined as a combined result of work
originally identified in the Parks Master Plan as necessary but not funded in the initial $15 million
Parks Improvement Bond program and community input obtained during the recent neighborhoods
meetings process held prior to the November 1999 voter approval.
On November 17, 1999, the City Commission referred the $92 Million General Obligation Bond Issue
to ajoint meeting of the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee and the GO Bond Project Oversight
Committee. This referral included a recommendation that professional services agreements currently
in effect with the three firms responsible for the design, planning and construction of the parks
included in the master plan be amended to enable the process to be completed. Please see the attached
copy of the parks improvements recommended to be included in BermeIlo, Ajamil and Partners, Inc.'s
amended agreement as they were referred to the joint meeting held on November 17, 1999.
On December 8, 1999, a joint meeting of the Neighborhoods Committee, Finance and Citywide
Projects Committee and the GO Bond Project Oversight Committee was held. A presentation was
made by the Administration setting forth the concept of amending the existing professional services
agreements with each of the firms currently working on park projects. An extensive discussion
transpired concerning the benefits of such an action, the past performance of each firm, the amount of
fees paid to each of the firms to date and the possibility of the firms to handle the additional workload.
The final recommendation of the Committees was to amend the contacts subject to renegotiatiori to
lower fees. On December 15, 1999, the City Commission unanimously accepted this report.
City staff met with representatives of BermeIlo, Ajamil & Partners, Inc., to discuss a lower fee
schedule and are pleased to report that they have agreed to adjust the percentage for their entire
professional services agreement for work already completed, in progress and the new work to be done.
Bermello, Ajamil & Partners, Inc., currently has approved projects totaling $8,008,132 in construction
and approved architectural/engineering fees of$531,235, a 7.2% fee. The new construction dollars
recommended to be added to the Bermello, Ajamil & Partners, Inc., agreement is $5,908,594 for a
new grand total of $13,916,726. In response to the request for a lower fee percentage Bermello,
Ajamil and Partners, Inc., NE fee is currently 7.2% of the construction cost. In response to the request
for a lower fee percentage Bermello, Ajamil and Partners, Inc., has agreed to an overall fee of7.0%
for their total agreement. The new fee total at 7% is $974,171 rather than the 7.2% fee of $1,002,004
which equates to an overall reduction and savings to the City of $27,833. Bermello, Ajamil and
Partners, Inc., has also agreed to continue the overall program management of the projects to their
completion, at no cost to the City. This is an estimated value of approximately $20,000 per year for
the next three years. Additionally, Bermello, Ajamil and Partners, Inc., has requested an amount not
to exceed $15,000 for reimbursables that will be paid only on the cost of actual invoices and $15,000
for additional surveys and testing, if needed and paid only with supporting invoices. As a point of
information the result. of this negotiation process was reported to the GO Bond Project Oversight
Committee at its January 10, 2000 meeting.
Approval of this Resolution will enable the parks projects currently underway to be proceed
expeditiously in a fiscally prudent manner and ensure they are completed as planned.
