AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM
File ID: #4865
Commission Meeting Date: 10/25/2018
Requesting Department: Department of
Planning
Sponsored By:
District Impacted: District 5
Type: Resolution
Subject: Accept Proposal - Streetscape and Street Tree Masterplan
Purpose of Item:
The nature of this item is to authorize a resolution of the Miami City Commission,
accepting the proposal received June 27, 2017, pursuant to Request for Proposals
(RFQ) No. 16-17-006, from Curtis & Rogers Design Studio, Inc. (Curtis & Rogers), for
the Development of the Southwest Streetscape and Street Tree Master Plan Services
(Services), on a phased basis. Funds are allocated from the Tree Trust Fund, subject to
budgetary approval at the time of need.
Background of Item:
On May 24, 2017, the Planning Department through Procurement, issued RFQ No. 16-
17-006 under full and open competition, to obtain proposals from qualified and
experienced professional consulting firms to procure a full range of professional urban
design and planning, landscape architecture and engineering services for the
development of a comprehensive public streetscape and street tree master plan. On
June 27, 2017, five (5) proposals were received in response to the RFQ. Following
evaluations of the proposals, including oral presentations by top three ranked firms, the
Evaluation Committee recommended Curtis & Rogers, the highest ranked responsive
and responsible proposer, for negotiations. The City Manager authorized a Negotiation
Team (Team), including Procurement and Planning departments, to negotiate with
Curtis + Rogers, the scope, the hourly staff billing rates, and cost proposal for
completion of the project.
The Team finalized negotiations on November 16, 2017 for a negotiated contract value
of $1,297,271.02, upon which a recommendation to award was approved by the former
City Manager on December 5, 2017 (see enclosed Recommendation of Award).
However, authorization by the City Commission was placed on hold due to unforeseen
budgetary constraints. As a result, Planning restructured the scope of services to
address the intent of the Project in a more efficient manner.
The fiscal impact to the City of Miami (City) for the negotiated contract is now
$610,247.77. This fee is comprised of a fee for Basic Services in the amount of
$580,247.77 and Reimbursable Expenses in the amount of $30,000.00. The original
award totaled to $1,297,271.02; therefore, additional negotiations and restructuring
resulted in $687,023.25 of considerable savings for our taxpayers.
