The project is located on a City lease property formerly known as the Merrill Stevens Boatyard. For a number of years, the City has been trying to redevelop the upland portion of the site through a Unified Development Process ("UDP"). The City's Planning Department decided to make DKBMD, i.e. pier replacement, part of the UDP package for this site, although the upland portion of any proposed development was not determined at that time. A decision was made to move forward with the FEMA funded pier replacement project and to install a new re -configured seawall funded by the City. The plan was to have a consultant prepare conceptual designs, obtain the required environmental and regulatory permits, and to prepare construction plans for bidding. After evaluating three (3) consulting engineering firms, Coastal Systems international (CSI) was selected to work with the Public Works Department. On March 21, 1995, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with CSI for the design, permitting, and preparation of construction plans for the FEMA approved fifty-two (52) boat slip marina at the Dinner Key Boatyard site. The Agreement did not include any construction phase professional services. The processing of permit applications and the preparation of construction plans in conjunction with the Planning Department's UDP process was difficult to coordinate and implement largely due to the uncertain future use of the site. The environmental permitting agencies imposed several additional permitting requirements on the project which resulted in additional services being required from the consultants. The State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) requested additional hydrographic analyses, a project review by the Governor's Planning and Budgeting Department, and a Fuel Spill Prevention and Response Plan. Dade County DERM required approval by the County Board of Commissioners as well as an Operating Permit after construction. In order to obtain the required environmental permits, CSI did the work and requested $15,000 in additional services which have already been approved by FEMA for reimbursement. 047 98- 212 Dinner Key Boatyard - Marina Docks - H-1088 Increase to Professional Services Agreement Background - Page No. 2 After the environmental permits were resolved, the construction plans were completed and bids were finally received on February 6, 1997. Before submitting the project for award, the City needed verification of funding and approval from FEMA as well as its own staff. On September 23, 1997, by Resolution No. 97-642, the City Commission awarded a contract to Cone Constructors, Inc. in the amount of $2,301,500 to construct the project. Construction is now underway and the City needs to increase the Professional Services Agreement for additional environmental permitting and to provide the professional services needed during the construction phase. These services include structural inspections, attendance at construction and regulatory agency meetings, review of shop drawings and test reports, resolution of plans with job problems, and final certification of the finished work. CSI is the engineer of record -on the project and it is necessary for them to perform all of the structural inspections and related professional services as required under South Florida Building Code. Based on a $2.3 million construction contract and a construction phase period of approximately 8 months, the cost of the construction phase services is estimated at $38,000. These construction phase professional services costs are also FEMA approved expenses reimbursable to the City. RECOMMENDATION it is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution increasing the contract amount in the Professional Services Agreement with CSI for the Dinner Key Boatyard Marina Docks, H-1088 to provide $15,000 for additional services and $38,000 for construction phase professional services, for a total increase in the amount of $53,000. This increase will bring the total amount of CSI's fees and expenses on the Dinner Key Boatyard project from $74,500 to $127,500 under their Professional Services Agreement including all environmental permitting, preparation of construction plans and specifications, and for all structural inspections and related services during the construction phase. The funding for the project has been appropriated in FY 95/96 Capital Improvement Ordinance No. 11337, under Project No. 418406 and these costs are FEMA reimbursable expenses. 2 , i 98- 212 Dec-23-97 03:59P Associate 1-305-661-1914 P.02 COASTAL COASTAL SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC. 464South Dixie High way .

December 23, 1997 Mr. Alan Poms CITY O WAN11 444 SW 2"d Avenue, 8`h Floor Miami, Florida 33130 RE: DIN *ER KEY BOATYARD DOCKS; PROJECT H-1088 Dear Alan: This letter presents a follow-up to our June 27, 1997 letter to Grant Sheehan regarding additional permitting fees and request for authorization of construction administration services to our existing contract with the City. As mentioned in our earlier letter, Coastal Systems has incurred additional expense in processing the environmental permits due to requests for additional information by the Department of - Environmental Protection (DEP), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), and Metropolitan Dade County DERM. These expenses are as follows: Fuel Spill Prevention And Response Plan: The original Merrill -Stevens docks had a fuel facility and through discussions with regulatory staff, it was determined that a new facility could be authorized. As part of the review process a fuel spill plan had to be submitted and approved prior to issuance of the DEP permit. A separate permit from the upland Developer must be issued when the facility is built. The fuel plan should be FENIA reimbursable. Total costs for this work is $4,000.00. Hydrographie Analysis: As a result of the first completeness summary, the regulatory agencies requested a study of flushing characteristics of the project area to verify adequate dispersal of hypothetical pollutants. This requirement must be satisfied in order to obtain the required permits and as such should be entirely reimbursable by FEMA. The cost for this work is S3,500.00. Dade County Board of Commissioners Approval: The DERM Class I Permit was required by staff to be put forth and approved by the Dade County Board of Commissioners due to dredge and fill activities to realign the bulkhead and interior basin. All meetings and the subject mitigation plan required before Commission approval should be reimbursable by FEMA. The - costs are $2,500.00.

This was clearly not part of the original scope of work and therefore subject to FEMA reimbursement. The costs are $5,000.00. Total additional permitting......................................................................................I...... $15,000.00 Construction Administration: As we mentioned previously, the original scope and engineering services covered permitting, design and contract bid and award, but Project Administration of construction was not included in the original authorization. This work must be performed, as is currently being done and therefore reimbursable in full by FEMA. Total Construction Administration................................................................................. S38,000.00 We have performed all services in order to obtain the environmental permits and continue to assist the City during construction and we respectfully request your assistance to enable the City Commission to authorize additional monies in the amount of $53,000.00.
