Director
Office of Capital Improvements ENCLOSURES:
By this memorandum, the Office of Capital Improvements ("OCI") is requesting for the Purchasing
Department to modify the Professional Services Agreement ("PSA") with SCS Engineers, Inc. ("SCS")
and TY Lin International ("TY Lin") authorized pursuant to Request for Qualifications RFQ 14-15-
027 for the provision of Miscellaneous Environmental Engineering Services, to increase the contract
capacities of said PSAs by $500,000.00 for each firm, for a total contract capacity of $1,000,000.00,
respectively.
Background
In May 6, 2016, OCI entered into professional services agreements with SCS and TY Lin for needed
environmental engineering services for City of Miami's environmental projects. The PSAs were
approved through action of the City Manager in accordance with Section 287.055, Florida Statutes for
an amount not to exceed $500,000.00 respectively.
Article 2.05 of the General Conditions of the PSA, Compensation, limits the compensation payable to
SCS and TY Lin to an amount not to exceed $500,000, respectively, unless approved by action of the
City Commission and put into effect by a written amendment to the PSA executed by all parties. The
PSA further stipulated that no new work orders can be issued to SCS or TY Lin that would result in
the existing approved compensation limits to be exceeded.
At present, OCI continues to rely on the environmental engineering services provided to the City of
Miami ("City") under the PSA to provide additional services associated with the Douglas Park and
Curtis Park Environmental Remediation projects. OCI recognizes that these two consulting firms were
part of the previous Miscellaneous Environmental Engineering Service that were assigned to Douglas
Park and Curtis Park and thus, their familiarity with the projects' design and construction will be
beneficial to the City as their management services continue to carry across under the new PSA.
Douglas Park Environmental Remediation project began construction Yd Quarter 2016 while Curtis
Park Environmental Remediation project will begin construction 4`' Quarter 2016. To continue
carrying out these projects would require an increase in the funding capacities of the PSAs with SCS
and TY Lin. Accordingly, OCI seeks to increase the contract capacities of said PSAs from the original
$500,000.00 capacity to a new contract capacity of $1,000,000.00 for each firm.
