item Su
On July 8, 1992, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution 92-20540, authorizing the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute an Agreement with the firm of Camp, Dresser and McKee, Inc. (CDM), to provide
architectural/engineering services for the upgrade of sewer and water pumping stations, and to design a new
Water Booster Pump Station on the MacArthur Causeway.
On December 06, 2006, through Resolution 2006-26418, the City Commission authorized the execution of
Amendment 17 to CDM. The new Amendment 17 included the following contract categories:
• Design
• Design Contingencies
• Permitting and Bidding
• Reimbursable expenses
This Amendment 17 reactivated the design process. The revised 30% design was presented to the DRB and
was approved. The consultant is currently addressing 90% regulation and design review comments.
During the 90% review process, and aware of the long lead times necessary to schedule FPL construction
crews, it was determined that it would be in the best interest of the project to expedite the relocation of the
existing FPL overhead power lines presently located within an easement that is in conflict with the design of the
future pump station .FPL has provided a budgetary estimate to design and relocate the overhead power lines.
These overhead lines currently provide service in the area and do not currently service the Pump Station
location; however the lines are in conflict with the design of the station. Addressing this relocation in advance
will facilitate the construction of the station and avoid construction scheduling delays. The actual electric
service for the station has been designed to run underground and directly into an FPL vault within the station.
CDM and the CIP office also coordinated underground exploratorywork in the area of the existing foundations
from the old water tower. The exploratory work was intended to address concerns regarding the possible
contents of creosote in the soils around the foundations due to the use of wood piles. It was determined at the
time of the exploratory work that the as-built drawings presented to the consultant to design the station were
not accurate and the existing foundations are significantly larger than anticipated. CDM provided a cost
estimate of $315,000 for the removal of the foundations and it was agreed that performing the demolition work
would expedite the future construction of the pump station. In order to perform this task, the CIP Office will be
contracting a Job Order Contractor (JOC) to perform the demolition and fund it from previously appropriated
funds in the fiscal year 2005-2006_ Capital Budget.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor David Dermer and Members of the City Commission
FROM: City Manager Jorge M. Gonzalez ~
DATE: September 5, 2007 ~.
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH FLORIDA
POWER AND LIGHT (FPL), TO RELOCATE EXISTING POWER LINES, IN
PREPARATION FOR THE NEW WASTEWATER BOOSTER PUMP STATION
AT SOUTH POINTE.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
PROJECT FUNDING
Project funding, in the estimated amount of $140,000, was previously appropriated for Design
and Engineering from Fund 379-2312-061357, South Pointe Capital Funds, in the Fiscal Year
2005-2006 Capital Budget.
ANALYSIS
On July 8, 1992, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution 92-20540, authorizing
the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Agreement with the firm of Camp, Dresser and
McKee, Inc. (CDM), to provide architectural/engineering services for the upgrade of sewer
and water pumping stations, and to design a new Water Booster Pump Station on the
MacArthur Causeway.
The City's 2000 Comprehensive plan established that the inefficient equipment at the
existing pump stations was operating inover-capacity conditions, had surpassed its useful
life, and would continue to face increasing operating and maintenance expenses without the
construction of a new in-line booster station at South Pointe. The alternative to providing a
new booster pump station would be to provide major structural, mechanical, and electrical
upgrades at five existing pump stations (PS Nos. 1,10,11,28D,and 31) downstream of Pump
Station (PS) 288. Consequently, the South Pointe Wastewater Booster Pump Station
Project was identified as a priority, and City staff recommended its construction.
On January 31, 2001, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2001-24243, approving
Amendment No. 9 to its 1992 Agreement with CDM to provide Professional Architectural and
Engineering Services for the Wastewater Master Booster Pump Station at South Pointe.
The proposed pump station is to be located on a triangular parcel of land bounded by
Jefferson Avenue to the East, Alton Road to the West, First Street to the North, and the
intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Alton Road at Commerce Street to the South.

PROJECT SCOPE
Construction of a pump station .with two1500 HP Pumps, FPL vault, transformers, control
room, emergency generator, fuel storage tanks, HVAC and ventilation system, SCADA
controls, architectural treatments, site landscaping and a 54" diameter force main.
Prior to the presentation of the project to the Design Review Board (DRB), the City and CDM
presented the project to the community on April 25, 2006. The community was opposed to
the proposed two-floor scheme, and expressed its strong concern for possible odors as well
as noise and vibration from the pumps. Staff directed CDM to revisit the design and make
any necessary modifications to address the community's concerns with noise and vibration.
It was explained to the community that odor would not be an issue as this was a close
system.
At a subsequent third workshop on August 22, 2006, a modified design was presented, and
received final acceptance by the community. As a condition of this acceptance, the
community requested that an acoustics consultant be included in the design team to address
further soundproofing of the station.
On December 06, 2006, through Resolution 2006-26418, the City Commission authorized
the execution of Amendment 17 to CDM. The new Amendment 17 included the following
contract categories:
• Design
• Design Contingencies
• Permitting and Bidding
• Reimbursable expenses
This Amendment 17 reactivated the design process. The revised 30% design was presented
to the DRB and was approved. The consultant is currently addressing 90% regulatory and
design review comments.
During the 90% review process, and aware of the long lead times necessary to schedule
FPL construction crews, it was determined that it would be in the best interest of the project
to expedite the relocation of the existing FPL overhead power lines presently located within
an easement that is in conflict with the design of the future pump station .FPL has provided
an order of magnitude estimate, in the amount of $104,000, to design and relocate the
overhead power lines. These overhead lines currently provide service in the area and do not
currently service the Pump Station location; however the lines are in conflict with the design
of the station. Addressing this relocation in advance will facilitate the construction of the
station and avoid construction scheduling delays. The actual electric service for the station
has been designed to run underground and directly into an FPL vault within the station.
CDM and the CIP office also coordinated underground exploratory work in the area of the
existing foundations from the old water tower. The exploratorywork was intended to address
concerns regarding the possible contents of creosote in the soils around the foundations due
to the use of wood piles. It was determined at the time of the exploratory work that the as-
builtdrawings presented to the consultant to design the station were not accurate and the
existing foundations are significantly larger than anticipated. CDM provided a cost estimate
of $315,000 for the removal of the foundations and it was agreed that performing the

Dear Ms. Alcea,
In response to your request dated M~_16, 2007, the non-binding "ballpark" estimate to relocate overhead
power lines crassinq site of orobosed `pump shation is $_1.04,pp0.00. This amount is an "order of magnitude"
estimate only. This estimate is not an offer from FPL to perform the requested work and shQUld not be
construed or used as such for detailed planning purposes. It is provided strictly to assist your preliminary
decision making. FPL shall not be held liable for any variations that may occur between this "order of
magnitude" estimate and any detailed cast estimates that may subsequently be provided by FPL.
The ballpark estimate is based on a design that includes installation. of a self supporking pole west of property
located at 844 9 st Street. Although the permit for setting a pole is issued by public works, due to the history
of complaints by property owners. near these installations, we require khe party requesting the relocation to
notify property owner(s) that may be affected by installation of a self st,pporting pots.
Should you desire to pursue this. matter furtherby requesting a "binding" detailed Engineering Cost Estimate,
an engineering deposit in the amount of 2 $00.00 will: be required, This request must be made in writing and
shall specify, in detail, the scope of work to be included in the estimate, Binding Detailed Engineering Cost
Estimates are valid 1=ar six months'ar~d subject to ahange in the event afa work scope change.
Should you pay an engingering deposit and elect to have the work perFormed (the work included in the
estimate for whioh the deposit was paid}, that deposit will be applied to the FPL work order as customer
Gantributian in Aid of Construction (G1AG}. This applied amount would contribute. toward the total GIAC
amount determined by the'detailed cost estimate, if the CIAG is paid while the estimate is valid. !f you elect
not to have that work pe,formed, or if na G1AC payment is made while the estimate is valid, the deposit will be
withheld by FPL. to defray a portion of FPL'S cast to produce the estimate,
Should additional detailed estimates be required far work not included in your original request, you may be
required#o pay enystdditianal FPL engineering costs to produce those estimates.
Please contact me at 305-37'7-8157 If you have any questions.
Sin rely.
