Warshaw REFERENCES City Manager ENCLOSURES RECOMMENDATION FILE it is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the Assignment of Professional Services Agreement between the architectural firms of Duany, Plater-Zyberk & Company (DPZ) and R. J. Heisenbottle Architects (RJH) for the later firm to provide the design, construction plans and other professional services required for the Virrick Community Water Sports Center project. BACKGROUND On July 14, 1998, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 98-718 approving the City Manager's recommendation that the firm of DPZ, with sub -consultant RJH and other sub -consultants approved by the City be contracted for the Virrick Water Sports Center project. Pursuant to Resolution No. 1073, DPZ entered into a Professional Services Agreement dated April 9, 1999, to design and provide construction plans for the project. The DPZ firm is nationally known for its Town and City planning design work and subsequently decided to concentrate its professional practice on these types of services. DPZ required that sub -consultant RJH be assigned Its Professional Services Agreement under Article 15 of the Agreement since RJH was the firm most familiar with the project and was working with the Parks & Recreation Department, Shake -A -Leg, Inc. and the YMCA of Greater Miami on programming and conceptual designs of the final project. RJH desires to acquire rights and is willing to assume the obligations of DPZ under the Professional Services Agreement for the existing funding and fees, except for the new floating dock improvements already completed. The YMCA of Greater Miami, Shake -A -Leg, and the Parks and Recreation Department are all in agreement and highly recommend the assignment of the Agreement to RJH for the sake .of } continuity and the urgent need.to complete the designs and construction plans. = Based on these recommendations, the City Manager recommends the assignment. of this Professional Services Agreement from DPZ to RJH with no additional funding required. The Professional Services Agreement by its terms is assignable upon written consent by the City Commission. Assignment-VIRRICK-ME( , I 1 r 00-- ,y/l'y r C!TY OF MIAMI. FLORIDA.
