RECOMMENDATION:
The administration respectfully recommends the adoption of the attached resolution authorizing
the City Manager to piggyback on an existing Broward County Board of County Commissioners
contract (Contract No. SC 3AVC0001009) for program management services. In recognition of
the fact that municipal capital programs are cyclical in nature and that adding City staff is not in
the best long term interests of the City, the administration is requesting to partner with industry
to advance the delivery of the City's aggressive capital plan. Using the existing Broward County
contract, URS will provide the City much needed consulting including, but not limited to:
44,
Administering the Design and construction contracts in accordance with City of
Miami procedures and for complete coordination of all design efforts and
construction.
Documentation and control of documents to effect timely performance by all entities,
support for defense of claims and litigation and response to public records requests.
Professional support in areas such as (but not limited to) contract scoping, plan
reviews, evaluation of completeness of submittals, payment submittals, etc., as would
be typical for management of any Program of this magnitude.
The provider, URS has an extensive track record in this area serving both Broward County
Aviation Department (BCAD) and City of Miami Beach in the delivery of their aggressive
capital programs.
Pursuant to the requirements of Sect. 18-111 of the City Code, the chief procurement officer has
rendered a determination that the Broward County Contract No. SC 3AVC0001009, was entered
into pursuant to competitive process in compliance with City laws, policies, and procedures. A
copy of the Chief procurement officer's memorandum stating nis finding is attached for your
records.
