Background
In August 10, 2018, OCI entered into professional services agreements with the engineering
firms for needed civil engineering services for City of Miami's horizontal 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 the engineering firms 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 the engineering firms that would result in the existing approved compensation limits to be
exceeded.
The engineering firms are actively rendering professional consulting services on various City
horizontal projects for complete planning and design services, permitting, construction
documents, and during and post -construction design management services. Presently, there
are over 100 active horizontal capital projects being managed by OCI which vary in size and

City for Environmental Engineering, Construction Engineering Inspection, and Surveying and
Mapping require the prime consultant to be one of the civil engineering consulting firms.
Additionally, OCI is receiving requests for new capital projects quarterly for review and
recommendation for approval by the Construction Synchronization Review Panel.
Furthermore, OCI has commenced the implementation phase for the projects approved by City
Commission under Tranche 1 of the Miami Forever Bond. These new projects will require the
utilization of these civil engineering firms.
To fulfill the funding needs for the current and future projects, additional funding to increase
the capacities of the PSAs with all the engineering firms authorized pursuant to RFQ 16-17-
063 is required. Therefore, OCI seeks to increase the contract capacities of said PSAs
currently under contract from the original $500,000.00 capacity to a new contract capacity of
$1,000,000.00 for each firm. In addition, OCI requests that additional PSAs in an amount not
to exceed $1,000,000.00 be executed with those responsive and responsible consultants that
were evaluated and ranked by the Evaluation Committee during the selection process for RFQ
16-17-063, but, were not offered a contract opportunity at that time.
