ANALYSIS

On January 17, 2017 the City entered into a Design/Build Agreement with Ric­Man Construction, Inc. (Ric-Man) to develop, design, and construct the Stormwater Pump Station on 19th Street between Convention Center Drive and Meridian Avenue in the amount of $6,332,389.80. As part of the scope of the Project, Ric-Man is to replace the existing seawall along the south perimeter of Collins Canal, abutting the Miami Beach Botanical Garden (Botanical Garden) property and the Holocaust Memorial. In order to gain access to the seawall and complete its replacement, some of the surrounding landscaping and portions of the existing walkway bordering Collins Canal in the vicinity of the Botanical Garden will be affected.

On April 26, 2017, the City Commission referred an item to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) to discuss the vision of the Botanical Garden’s expansion, north to the swale and landscaped area along Collins Canal. The NCAC requested the City Commission refer this item to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC).

At the June 16, 2017 FCWPC meeting, the item was presented and the committee favorably recommended to the City Commission, to proceed with the design and construction of the improvements north of the Botanical Garden. Staff recommended that a Change Order to the current Agreement between Ric-Man and the City be issued to incorporate the proposed extension of the Botanical Garden as part of their seawall reconstruction. Adding the scope under this contract will be more efficient and expedient.

On September 13, 2017 the City Commission adopted a resolution accepting the recommendation of the FCWPC, approving the extension of the Botanical Gardens to the Collins Canal with the funding coming from previously appropriated funds in the current fiscal year budget.

On January 5, 2018, Ric-Man presented a negotiated Cost Proposal for $387,123.61, for the extension of the Botanical Gardens to the Collins Canal. The cost proposal was reviewed and analyzed by the Office of Capital Improvement Projects and the Public Works Department and was found to be fair and reasonable considering the complex logistics of construction.

On February 9, 2018, Amendment No. 1 to the Design/Build Agreement was executed for $630,013.00 as requested by the City Commission under Resolution 2017-30020, to incorporate a permanent emergency generator as part of the Project. This Amendment No. 1 revised the total contract amount to $6,962,402.80.

This Amendment No. 2 (Exhibit A), in the amount of $387,124.00, plus $38,712.00 owner’s contingency, will revise the total contract amount to a not-to-exceed total of $7,388,238.80.

CONCLUSION

The Administration recommends adopting the Resolution.
