Quality Capital Projects
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): In the 2007 Community Satisfaction Survey,
indicated that Miami Beach, when compared with similar cities, ranked in the forty percentile rating for
storm drainage improvements. Granting FPL the utility easement will facilitate the completion of a much
needed stormwater pump station at Belle Isle. ___
Issue:
Should the City Commission adopt the Resolution?
Item Summa /Recommendation:
In August 2005, Construction Documents prepared by Jacob Edwards and Kelcey, were issued by the
City, along with a request for cost proposal from the Job Order Contractor (JOC), Alpine Construction
Management Corporation (Alpine) for the construction of the Belle Isle Neighborhood Right of Way
(ROW) Improvement Project, Bid Package No. 136 (Project).
On December 2, 2005, following extensive negotiations, the final cost proposal for the construction of the
Project, in the amount of $5,603,638, was accepted by the City. On May 16, 2006, the City issued the
Second Notice to Proceed (NTP) on the Project which allowed Alpine to mobilize on the site.
In August 2007, Alpine completed and placed into service the new 12-inch water main system. The Right-
of-Way improvements were completed prior to the end of November 2007, and the stormwater system is
ninety percent complete. The contractor is currentlyworking towards completing the improvements within
the park, and placing the pump station into operation by July of 2008.
The pump station constructed at the northwest corner of Belle Isle Park, requires an electrical service
point of connection. Consequently, it will be necessary to provide a new electrical service point to the
stormwater pump station through the park, via an existing transformer serving the existing sanitary pump
station located at the northeast corner of the Park.
The proposed location of the duct bank has been identified, and the survey of the location, including the
Legal Description, completed. FPL requires that the City record the easement prior to their scheduling and
placement of their electrical service. Therefore there is a need to grant FPL the utility easement. This
work is critical to the installation and "start-up" of the pumps, and placement of the stormwater system into
operation at Belle Isle prior to the start of the rainy season.
The Administration recommends that the City record the utility easement for FPL in order to power the
stormwater pump station at Belle Isle.

ANALYSIS
In August 2005, Construction Documents prepared by Jacob Edwards and Kelcey (formerly
known as Edwards and Kelcey), were issued by the City, along with a request for a cost
proposal from the Job Order Contractor (JOC), Alpine Construction Management
Corporation (Alpine) for the construction of the Belle Isle Neighborhood Right of Way (ROW)
Improvement Project, Bid Package No. 13B (Project).
The Scope of Services that were outlined in the proposal for the Project included the
installation of water mains; storm drainage system and pump station; street lighting; roadway
reconstruction, including, milling and resurfacing; parking; traffic signage and pavement
marking; landscape and irrigation. The Scope of Services for the improvements to the Belle
Isle Park included re-grading of the entire Park; landscaping, irrigation, site furnishings,
pedestrian lighting, a "bark-park", and new walkways within the park.
On December 2, 2005, following extensive negotiations, the final cost proposal for the
construction of the Project, in the amount of $5,603,638, was accepted by the City. On May
16, 2006, the City issued the Second Notice to Proceed (NTP) on the Project which allowed
Alpine to mobilize on the site.
In August 2007, Alpine completed and placed into service the new 12-inch water main
system. The Right-of-Way improvements were completed priorto the end of November 2007,
and the stormwatersystem, comprised of numerous stormwaterstructures, piping, drainage
wells, and pump station, is ninety percent (90%) complete. The remaining work is associated
with the connection of 24-inch stormwater lines to the east and west outtalls, located in the
vicinity of the Venetian Causeway, and the start-up of the pumps. The contractor is currently
working toward completing the improvements within the Park, and placing the Pump Station
into operation by July of 2008.
Belle Isle -FPL easement
February 13, 2008
Page 2 of 2
The Pump Station constructed at the northwest corner of Belle Isle Park, requires an
electrical service point of connection. The service point of connection originally
contemplated is via an FPL manhole located within the Island Avenue South Right-of-Way.
However, during the process of coordinating with FPL, it was determined that this point of
connection was not feasible. Consequently, it will be necessary to provide a new electrical
service to the stormwater Pump Station through the park, via a transformer serving the
existing sanitary pump station located at the northeast comer of the Park. Therefore there is
a need to grant FPL the utility easement.
The proposed location of the duct bank has been identified, and the survey of the location,
including the Legal Description, completed (Attachment 1). Although the excavation for the
placement of the conduits has commenced, FPL requires the City to record the easement
prior to their scheduling and placement of their electrical service. The placement of the
electrical service is critical to the installation and "start-up" of the pumps, and placement of
the stormwater system into service at Belle Isle prior to the start of the rainy season.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami
Beach, Florida, approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to record a utility easement
in favor of Florida Power and Light, within the Belle Isle Park, for the placement of an
electrical duct bank to serve the stormwater Pump Station, included as part of the Belle Isle
Neighborhood Right of Way (ROW) Improvement Project, Bid Package No. 136.
