Wagner Creek/Seybold Canal Dredging — The Wagner Creek dredging project began as 'a- maintenance dredging and bank- stabilization project in 1999. However, in late 2002 it was discovered that the creek sediments contained hazardous chemicals known as dioxin/furans. Since dioxins were discovered, DERM placed stringent permitting requirements on the project resulting in time delays and a change in scope of work leading to significant cost increases. Seybold Canal; the tributary segment between Wagner Creek -and the Miami River was added to the project scope in 2005. Based on limited testing, the same stringent permitting requirements will be necessary for the Seybold Canal dredging.

Personnel and Other Resources: Considering City staff will be working in conjunction with Program Management personnel for the execution of all CIP projects, our original fee proposal for Primary Services dated June 20, 2005 is incorporated by reference with the modifications noted below. The modifications are mainly sub - program manager adjustments and does not effect the overall cost for Primary Services. The fee proposal continues to guide our work efforts as originally established and provides the program schedule for staffing and staffing reductions as the City continues to take larger portions of the program management efforts. This is a significant part of our plan, and assists the City with it's overall goal to provide the best project delivery systems available. In addition, the staff reductions - as part of the original proposal - significantly affect direct and indirect labor costs and effectively help.. reduce overall project costs. However, due to the need to provide quick turn -around for the RFP process for the Streetcar Work Order, the fee reflects an increase in the Specialty Services Work Order amount to provide management of the procurement portion of the project within the Year 3 contract term. Program Manager Core Team Adjustments • Replace Roger Hatton with Leo Villalobos • Replace Tony Sabbag with Mike Tyler Sub - Program Manager Adjustments: • Remove Indigo Service Corporation. • Add PHS Group, Inc. They will assist with construction administration of verticle projects. PHS is MNVBE certified with the -City of Miami- as well as CBE/DBE certified with Miami -Dade County. Compensation: The overall Compensation for Primary Services provided under the Professional Services Agreement for Program Management Services remain as noted in Schedule B-5 — Summary of Total Compensation for Year 3 shown on page B-12 in the Agreement. This includes ail recurring expenses. As noted, due to the need to provide quick turn -around for the RFP process for the Streetcar Work Order, the fee reflects an increase in the amount to provide the management of the procurement portion of the project within the Year 3 contract term. Variable expenses have also been included. According to Article B2.05 — Escalation - from the PSA, we have included a revised. Schedule B-1, showing a three percent (3%) escalation in wage rates for each job classification effective on the anniversary date of the contract.
