any other action necessary to determine ability to perform in accordance with the specifications, terms and

South Miami. This person or back-up must be readily available during normal work hours by phone, email, or in
person, and must be knowledgeable of the terms of the contract.

Provisions, Terms and Conditions herein will take precedence over any terms and conditions submitted with
the response, either appearing separately as an attachment or included within the Proposal. The Contract

9. The issuance of a written addendum is the only official method whereby interpretation and/or clarification of
information can be given. Interpretations or clarifications, considered necessary by the City in response to such
questions, will be issued by a written addendum to the Solicitation Package (also known as "Solicitation
Specifications" or "Solicitation") by U.S. mail, e-mail or other delivery method convenient to the City and the
City will notify all prospective firms via the City's website. It is the responsibility of the Respondent to keep
apprised of the publishing of addenda on the Citys website.
10. Verbal interpretations or clarifications will not have any legal effect. No plea by a Respondent of ignorance or
the need for additional information will exempt a Respondent from submitting the Proposal on the required
date and time as set forth in the public notice.
I I. Cone of Silence: You are hereby advised that this Request for Proposals is subject to the "Cone of Silence," in
accordance with Section 8A-7, of the City's Code of Ordinance. From the time of advertising until the City
Manager issues his recommendation, there is a prohibition on verbal communication with the City's professional
staff, including the City Manager and his staff and members of the City Commission. The Cone of Silence
ordinance, Section 8A-7, has been duplicated at the end of these instructions.
12. Violation of these provisions by any particular Respondent or proposer will render any recommendation for
the award of the contract or the contract awarded to said Respondent or proposer voidable, and, in such event,
said Respondent or proposer will not be considered for any Solicitation including but not limited to one that
requests any of the following a proposal, qualifications, a letter of interest or a bid concerning any contract for
the provision of goods or services for a period of one year. Contact will only be made through regularly
scheduled Commission meetings, or meetings scheduled through the Purchasing Division, which are for the
purposes of obtaining additional or clarifying information.
13. Lobbying. "Lobbyist" means all persons (including officers and managers of a legal entity), firms, or legal entities
such as a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, employed or retained by a principal (including an
officer of the principal or an employee of the principal whose duties include marketing, or soliciting business,
for the principal) who seeks to encourage the passage, defeat, or modifications of (1) ordinance, resolution,
action or decision of the City Commission; (2) any action, decision, recommendation of the City Manager or
any City board or committee; or (3) any action, decision or recommendation of City personnel during the time
period of the entire decision -making process on such action, decision or recommendation which foreseeably
will be heard or reviewed by the City Commission, or a City board or committee. All firms and their agents
who intend to submit, or who submitted, bids or responses for this Solicitation, are hereby placed on formal
notice that neither City Commissioners, candidates for City Commissioner or any employee of the City of
South Miami are to be lobbied either individually or collectively concerning this Solicitation. Contact may only
be made through regularly scheduled Commission meetings, or meetings scheduled through the Purchasing
Division, which are for the purposes of obtaining additional or clarifying information or as otherwise provided
for in the City's Cone of Silence. Any presentation before a selection committee is considered to be lobbying;
however, the presentation team may avoid formal registration by complying with section BA-5 (c) (9). of the
City's Code of Ordinances. A presentation team affidavit is provided with this solicitation that may be used to
comply with presentations, if applicable. Anyone who submits a proposal, whether solicited or unsolicited, on
behalf of his or her principal or his or her employer is considered to be a lobbyist and must register. An officer
or manager of a legal entity who is submitting a proposal, whether solicited or unsolicited, is considered to be
a lobbyist. See section 8A-5 of the City's Code of Ordinances for further information and contact the City
Clerk to register as a lobbyist.
14. Reservation of Right. The City anticipates awarding one contract for services as a result of this Solicitation and
the successful firm will be requested to enter into negotiations to produce a contract for the Project. The City,
however, reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to do any of the following:
a) to reject any and all submitted Responses and to further define or limit the scope of the award.
b) to waive minor irregularities in the responses or in the procedure required by the Solicitation
documents.
c) to request additional information from firms as deemed necessary.
d) to make an award without discussion or after limited negotiations. It is, therefore, important that all
the parts of the Request for Proposal be completed in all respects.
e) to negotiate modifications to the Proposal that it deems acceptable.
f) to terminate negotiations in the event the City deems progress towards a contract to be insufficient
and to proceed to negotiate with the Respondent who made the next best Proposal. The City
reserves the right to proceed in this manner until it has negotiated a contract that is satisfactory to
the City.
6 of 113
11
g) To modify the Contract Documents. The terms of the Contract Documents are general and not
necessarily specific to the Solicitation. It is therefore anticipated that the City may modify these
documents to fit the specific project or work in question and the Respondent, by making a Proposal,
agrees to such modifications and to be bound by such modified documents.
h) to cancel, in whole or part, any invitation for Proposals when it is in the best interest of the City.
i) to award the Project to the person with the lowest, most responsive, responsible Proposal, as
determined by the City.

the unit price(s) and the extended price(s), the unit price(s) will prevail and the extended price(s) will

will be at the Respondent's risk, and errors will not release the Respondent from his/her or its
responsibility as noted herein.
d) Samples: Samples of items, when required, must be furnished by the Respondent free of charge to the
City. Each individual sample must be labeled with the Respondent's name and manufacturer's brand

the City's bonding, if required for this project, and insurance requirements as set forth herein will authorize the
City to implement a rescission of the Proposal Award or rescission of the recommendation for award of contract
without further City action. The Respondent, by submitting a Proposal, thereby agrees to hold the City harmless
and agrees to indemnify the City and covenants not to sue the City by virtue of such rescission.

goods intended to be shipped or ordered by the Respondent pursuant to this Proposal, there has not been, nor
will there be, any infringement of copyrights or patent rights. The Respondent agrees to indemnify City from
any and all liability, loss or expense occasioned by any such violation or infringement.
22. Execution of Contract: A response to this Solicitation will not be responsive unless the Respondent signs the
form of contract that is a part of the Solicitation package. The Respondent to this Solicitation acknowledges
that by submitting a response or a proposal, Respondent agrees to the terms of the form contract and to the
terms of the general conditions to the contract, both of which are part of this Solicitation package. The
Respondent agrees that Respondent's signature on the E-Bid Form and/or the form of contract that is a part
of the Solicitation package and/or response to this Solicitation, grants to the City the authority, on the
Respondent's behalf, to inserted, into any blank spaces in the contract documents, information obtained from
the proposal and, at the City's sole and absolute discretion, the City may treat the Respondent's signature on
any of those documents as the Respondent's signature on the contract, after the appropriate information has
been inserted, as well as for any and all purposes, including the enforcement of all of the terms and conditions
of the contract.
23. Evaluation of Proposals: The City, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to inspect the facilities of any or all
Respondents to determine its capability to meet the requirements of the Contract. In addition, the price,
responsibility and responsiveness of the Respondent, the financial position, experience, staffing, equipment,

governments in Florida, or comparable private entities, will be taken into consideration in the Award of the
Contract.
24. Drug Free Workplace: Failure to provide proof of compliance with Florida Statute Section 287.087, as amended,
when requested will be cause for rejection of the Proposal as determined by the City.

sue the City, its officials and employees in reference to its decisions to reject, award, or not award a contract,
8 of 113 13
as applicable, unless the claim is based solely on allegations of fraud and/or collusion. The submission of a
proposal will act as an agreement by the Respondent that the Proposal/Bid Bond, if required for this project,
will not be released until and unless the Respondent waives any and all claims that the Respondent may have
against the City that arise out of this Solicitation process or until a judgment is entered in the Respondent's
favor in any suit filed which concerns this proposal process. In any such suit, the prevailing party will recover
its attorney's fees, court costs as well as expenses associated with the litigation. In the event that fees, court
costs and expenses associated with the litigation are awarded to the City, the Proposal/Bid Bond, if required for
this project, will be applied to the payment of those costs and any balance will be paid by the Respondent.
26. Cancellation: Failure on the part of the Respondent to comply with the conditions, specifications, requirements,
and terms as determined by the City, will be just cause for cancellation of the Award or termination of the
contract.
27. Bonding Requirements: The Respondent, when submitting the Proposal, must include a Proposal/Bid Bond, if
required for this project, in the amount of 5% of the total amount of the base Proposal on the Proposal/Bid
Bond Form included herein. A company or personal check will not be deemed a valid Proposal Security.
28. Performance and Payment Bond: The City of South Miami may require the successful Respondent to furnish a
Performance Bond and Payment Bond, each in the amount of 100% of the total Proposal Price, including
Alternates if any, naming the City of South Miami, and the entity that may be providing a source of funding for
the Work, as the obligee, as security for the faithful performance of the Contract and for the payment of all
persons or entities performing labor, services and/or furnishing materials in connection herewith. In addition,
if the Respondent's employees will be working in secure or sensitive areas of the City, the City may require that
the Respondent provides employee bonding, naming the City of South Miami as the obligee on the bond. The
bonds must be with a surety company authorized to do business in the State of Florida.
28.1. Each Performance Bond must be in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract
Price guaranteeing to City the completion and performance of the Work covered in the Contract
Documents.
28.2. Each Performance Bond must continue in effect for five years after final completion and acceptance
of the Work with the liability equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Sum.
28.3. Each Payment bond must guarantee the full payment of all suppliers, material man, laborers, or
subcontractor employed pursuant to this Project.
28.4. Each Bond must be with a Surety company whose qualifications meet the requirements of insurance
companies as set forth in the insurance requirements of this solicitation.

CITY with evidence of such recording.
28.6. The surety company must hold a current certificate of authority as acceptable surety on federal
bonds in accordance with the United States Department of Treasury Circular 570, current revisions.
29. Proposal Guarantee: Notwithstanding the fact that the Respondent, in submitting a proposal, agrees to the
terms contained in the form of contract that is part of this Solicitation package, the successful Respondent,
within ten (10) calendar days of Notice of Award by the City, must deliver, to the City, the executed Contract
and other Contract Documents that provide for the Respondent's signature, and deliver to the City the required
insurance documentation as well as a Performance and Payment Bond if these bonds are required. The
Respondent who has the Contract awarded to it and who fails to execute the Contract and furnish the required
Bonds and Insurance Documents within the specified time will, at the City's option, forfeit the Proposal/Bid
Bond/Security that accompanied the Proposal, and the Proposal/Bid Bond/Security will be retained as liquidated
damages by the City. It is agreed that if the City accepts payment from the Proposal/Bid Bond, that this sum is
a fair estimate of the amount of damages the City will sustain in case the Respondent fails to sign the Contract
Documents or fails to furnish the required Bonds and Insurance documentation. If the City does not accept the
Proposal/Bid Bond, the City may proceed to sue for breach of contract if the Respondent fails to perform in
accordance with the Contract Documents. Proposal/Bid Bond/Security deposited in the form of a cashier's
check drawn on a local bank in good standing must comply with the same requirements as a Proposal/Bid Bond.
30. Pre -proposal Conference Site Visits: If a Mandatory Pre -proposal conference is scheduled for this project, all
Respondents must attend the conference and tour all areas referenced in the Solicitation Documents. It will be
grounds for rejecting a Proposal from a Respondent who did not attend the mandatory pre -proposal
conference. No pleas of ignorance by the Respondent of conditions that exist, or that may hereinafter exist, as
a Solicitation result of failure to make the necessary examinations or investigations, or failure to complete any
part of the Solicitation Package, will be accepted as basis for varying the requirements of the Contract with the
City of South Miami or the compensation of the Respondent. The Respondent, following receipt of a survey of
the property, if applicable, is bound by knowledge that can be seen or surmised from the survey and will not be
entitled to any change order due to any such condition. If the survey is provided before the proposal is
9 of 113
14
submitted, the contract price, or negotiation in a request for qualifications, must include the Work necessitated
by those conditions. If the survey is provided subsequent to the submission of the proposal or negotiation in a
request for qualifications, the Respondent will have five calendar days to notify the City of any additional costs
required by such conditions and the City will have the right to reject the proposal, or in the case of an RFQ,
the negotiated price, and award the contract to, or begin negotiations with, the second most responsive,
responsible E- bidder with the lowest price, or in the case of an RFQ, with the next best qualifications, or to
reject all E-bids.
31. Time of Completion: The time is of the essence with regard to the completion of the Work to be performed
under the Contract to be awarded. Delays and extensions of time may be allowed only in accordance with the
provisions stated in the appropriate section of the Contract Documents, including the Proposal Form. No
change orders will be allowed for delays caused by the City, other than for extensions of time to complete the
Work.
32. Submittal Requirements: All Proposals must comply with the requirements set forth herein and must include
a fully completed Respondent's E-Bid Form, if any, and a Respondent's Cost and Technical Proposal if it is
included with this Solicitation Package.

national origin, sex, age, sexual orientation, disability, or familial status.
35. All respondents, at the time of E-bid opening, must have fulfilled all prior obligations and commitments to the
City in order to have their E-bid considered, including all financial obligations. Prior to the acceptance of any E-
bid proposal, qualifications or quotation, the City's Finance Department will certify that there are no outstanding
fines, monies, fees, taxes, liens or other charges owed to the City by the Respondent, any of the Respondent's
principal, partners, members or stockholders (collectively referred to as "Respondent Debtors"). An E-bid,
proposal or quotation will not be accepted until all outstanding debts of all Respondent Debtors owed to the
city are paid in full. No E-bidder who is in default of any prior contract with the City may have their E-bid
considered until the default is cured to the satisfaction of the City Manager.
36. E-bid Protest Procedure. See attached EXHIBITS.
37. Evaluation Criteria. If this project is to be evaluated by an Evaluation Committee, the evaluation criteria is
attached as EXHIBIT 3.
38. Availability of Contract - Any Governmental or quasi -governmental entity, in this or in any other state, or any
federal governmental agency, may avail itself of this solicitation and the contract that is awarded pursuant to this
solicitation and purchase any and all goods/services specified herein from the successful E-bidder(s)/proposer(s)
at the contract price(s) established herein, when any federal, state, and/or local laws, rules, and regulations
allows the piggybacking off said contract and provided that the successful E-bidder(s)/proposer(s) is/are in
agreement. Each Governmental or quasi -governmental entity which uses this formal solicitation and resulting
E-bid contract or agreement will establish its own contract/agreement, place its own orders, issue its own
purchase orders, be invoiced there from and make its own payments, determine shipping terms and issue its
own exemption certificates as required by the successful E-bidder(s)/proposer(s).
39. Non -Appropriation of Funds. In the event that no funds or insufficient funds are appropriated and budgeted or
are otherwise unavailable in any fiscal period for payments due under any contract awarded pursuant to this
solicitation, then the City, upon written notice to Successful E-bidder or their assignee of such occurrence, will
have the unqualified right to terminate the contract without any penalty or expense. No guarantee, warranty or
representation is made that any particular project(s) will be awarded to any Respondent(s).
40. Most Favored Public Entity. Respondent represents that the prices charged to City in the proposal do not
exceed existing prices to other customers for the same or substantially similar items or services for comparable
quantities under similar terms, conditions, wages, benefits, insurance coverage and any other material cost
factors. If respondent's prices decline, or should respondent, at any time during the term of a contract entered
into with City, provide the same goods or services with the same comparable quantities under similar terms,
conditions, wages, benefits, insurance coverage and any other material cost factors, Respondent must
immediately extend the same prices to City.
41. Confidential and Proprietary Information. Respondents may assert that some trade secrets, financial records,
and proprietary or other confidential information in their unsolicited proposal are confidential information that
they claim to be exempt from disclosure under applicable Florida public records laws. Such information may be
included in the unsolicited proposal, but submitted in a separate, sealed binder, designated on the cover as
CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS. A Respondent submitting materials claimed to be confidential must include a
cover letter listing all material designated as confidential and clearly mark each page of any material believed to
be a trade secret or other confidential information/document in all capital letters and bold font as
10 of 113 15
CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS. If a document is not totally confidential but contains non -confidential and
confidential information, the Respondent must provide a redacted copy of the document and an unredatted
copy. In addition, the Respondent must prepare a list of all the documents claimed to be confidential or
containing confidential information and on the next line under the description of each document the Respondent
must cite the statutory provision that provides the basis for the Respondents claim that the document or a
portion of the document is confidential and below the citation the Respondent must copy and paste the
applicable statutory provision (this listing requirement will hereinafter be referred to as "properly list' or
"properly listed" confidential document). The failure to properly list a confidential document or the failure to
redact a confidential document that is only partially confidential will result in the waiver of any claim that the
document is confidential or that the unredatted document contains confidential information. If any person or
entity requests that the City produce or disclose any of said purported confidential information or documents.
the City will advise the Respondent and afford the Respondent an opportunity to protect its assertion that said
confidential information is exempt from production. If Respondent fails to timely authorize the production of
the information or document and/or fails to timely seek a protective order, and/or is unsuccessful in obtaining
a protective order, the City will produce the requested information or document. The City will not actively
contest any request to disclose such alleged confidential information or document and the City cannot guarantee
that the alleged confidential document or information may not be disclosed should it ultimately be determined
not to be confidential under applicable Florida public records laws. The Respondent must indemnify the City
for any damages and costs the City may incur due to the Respondent's claim that its document or information
is confidential. The City can only agree to advise the Respondent of such request and give the Respondent an
opportunity, at Respondents sole and exclusive cost, to defend the request for disclosure of the confidential
information or document in a Court of competent jurisdiction or other applicable forum.
42. Definitions. The following definitions will govern the interpretation of this RFQ:
"Certify", including all of its tenses, such as "certifies", "certifying" and "certified", means the act of swearing
or affirming under penalties of perjury that the facts that are being "certified" are true and correct and it must
be accomplished either by swearing (or affirming) to the truth of the statement before a notary public, or by a
declaration, under penalties of perjury, as to the truth of the statement pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section
92.525.
43. Tie E-bids (not applicable to an RFQ). In the event of tie E-bids, Respondents will be directed to submit sealed
Best and Final Offers and deliver to the Office of the City Clerk located at South Miami City Hall, 6130 Sunset
Drive, South Miami, Florida 33143. The "Best and Final Offers" must be enclosed in a sealed envelope or
container and must have the following Information clearly printed or written on the exterior of the envelope

envelope insert the Project Name and Solicitation Number. On the third line of the envelope insert the name
of the person or entity who is going to be legally bound to perform the contractual obligations if awarded the
contract.

the meeting facilitator of the Selection Committee meeting, usually the City's Procurement Manager, will
tabulate the Selection Committee's scores and advise the Committee there is a tie score; without advising the
Committee the scores or the Respondents involved. The meeting facilitator will direct the Selection Committee
to re -score the Respondents submittals and, will continue the re -scoring until the tie is broken, and a clear
winner for the award recommendation has been determined. If the tie is not broken after three attempts to
break the tie, all responses will be rejected, and the item will be re -advertised.
45. Rescind the Award. The City reserves the right to rescind the award recommendation, even after the award
recommendation has been conditionally approved by the City Commission but before execution of the Contract
by the City Manager and, by responding to this RFQ, Respondent agrees to waive any contractual rights or
equitable claims that Respondent may have accrued following the initial award recommendation by the City
Manager under these conditions.
46. State of Emergency. The City reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to suspend the work or
services or cancel the contract in the event of an emergency that effects the City of South Miami, its residents
or businesses and that has been declared by the Governor, Mayor of Miami -Dade County or the City Manager.
47. Force majeure. Neither party may hold the other responsible for damages or for delays in performance caused
by force majeure, acts of God, or other acts or circumstances beyond the control of a party or that could not
have been reasonably foreseen, prevented or avoided. For this purpose, such acts or circumstances include,
but not limited to, weather conditions affecting performance, floods, epidemics, war, riots, strikes, lockouts, or

will use their best efforts to overcome the difficulties and to resume the work as soon as reasonably possible.

The award of any contract hereunder is subject to the provisions of Chapter 112, Florida State
Statutes. Respondents must disclose with their Proposals, the name of any officer, director, partner, associate or
agent who is also an officer or employee of the City of South Miami or its agencies.
SWORN STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 287.133 (3) (a),
FLORIDA STATUTES. ON PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES
THIS FORM MUST BE SIGNED AND SWORN TO IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY PUBLIC OR OTHER
OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS.
I. This sworn statement is submitted to
by
for
[print name of the public entity]
[print individual's name and title]
[print name of entity submitting sworn statement]
whose business address is
and (if applicable) its Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) is (If the
entity has no FEIN, include the Social Security Number of the individual signing this sworn statement:
2. 1 understand that a "public entity crime" as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (1)(g), Florida Statutes, means
a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of
business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United
States, including, but not limited to , any bid, proposal or contract for goods or services to be provided to
any public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States and involving
antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation.
3. 1 understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (1) (b), Florida Statutes,
means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in
any federal or state trial court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after July
I, 1989, as a result of a jury verdict, non -jury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere.
4. 1 understand that an "affiliate" as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (1) (a), Florida Statutes, means:
(a) A predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or
(b) An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity
and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term "affiliate" includes those officers,
directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in
the management of an affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling
interest in any person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair
24 of 113 29
market value under an arm's length agreement, will be a prima facie case that one person controls
another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who has been
convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months will be considered an
affiliate.
S. I understand that a "person" as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (1) (e), Florida Statutes, means any natural
person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the United States with the legal power to enter
into a binding contract and which bids or proposal or applies to bid or proposal on contracts for the
provision of goods or services let by a public entity, or which otherwise transacts or applies to transact
business with a public entity. The term "person" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners,
shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in management of an entity.
6. Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in relation to the entity
submitting this sworn statement. [Indicate which statement applies.]
Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any of its officers, directors, executives,
partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity,
nor any affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to
July I, 1989.
The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives,
partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or
an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July I,
1989.
The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives,
partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or
an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent of July 1,
1989. However, there has been a subsequent proceeding before a Hearing Officer of the State of Florida,
Division of Administrative Hearings and the Final Order entered by the Hearing Officer determined that it
was not in the public interest to place the entity submitting this sworn statement on the convicted vendor
list. [attach a copy of the final order.]
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SUBMISSION OF THIS FORM TO THE CONTRACTING OFFICER FOR THE PUBLIC ENTITY
IDENTIFIED IN PARAGRAPH I (ONE) ABOVE IS FOR THAT PUBLIC ENTITY ONLY, AND THAT THIS FORM IS VALID
THROUGH DECEMBER 31 OF THE CALENDAR YEAR IN WHICH IT IS FILED. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT I AM
REQUIRED TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ENTITY PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO A CONTRACT IN EXCESS OF THE
THRESHOLD AMOUNT PROVIDED IN SECTION 287.017, FLORIDA STATUTES, FOR CATEGORY TWO OF ANY
CHANGE IN THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM.

actions that will be taken against employees for violations of such prohibition.

maintaining a drug -free workplace, any available drug counseling, rehabilitation, and employee
assistance programs, and the penalties that may be imposed upon employees for drug abuse
violations.
3) Give each employee engaged in providing the commodities or contractual services that are under
Bid a copy of the statement specified in Subsection (1).
4) In the statement specified in Subsection (1), notify the employees, that, as a condition to their
working for the employer with regard to the matters that are the subject of the response to the
solicitation including those involving the procurement of commodities or contractual services
that are under Bid, the employee must abide by the terms of the statement and must notify the
employer of any conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any violation of Chapter
893 or of any controlled substance law of the United States or any state, for a violation occurring
in the workplace no later than five (5) days after such conviction.
5) Impose a sanction on, or require the satisfactory participation in a drug abuse assistance or
rehabilitation program, if such is available in the employee's community, by any employee who is
so convicted.
6) Make a good faith effort to continue to maintain a drug -free workplace through implementation
of this section.

foregoing statement and that the facts stated in it are true and that this firm is in full compliance with the above
requirements.

US1 Pedestrian Overpass Feasibility Study
=JCZ 31:14: A[411KC13i1 wo
T.Y. Lin International (TYU), as a consultant to the Miami Dade Department of Transportation and Public
Works (DTPW), previously the Miami -Dade Transit agency (MDT), completed a Site Alternative Study for
the agency in May of 2008. The project was initiated by the Agency in conjunction with the University of
Miami Pedestrian Overpass which was complete in recent years. The South Miami Overpass did not move
forward as a project at that time. It is our understanding that the City of South Miami (CITY) would like to
revisit the concept of the pedestrian overpass linking the DTPW South Miami Metrorail station to the
South Miami Downtown area. This proposed scope of work to be covered under this Site Feasibility Study
is for the placement of a pedestrian overpass using current data. A similar methodology will be used as
in the previous study, however due to the age of the previous study, all new investigations and
coordination with stakeholders, utilities, and affected agencies will need to be undertaken, as well as new
concept plans and cost estimates to accommodate the current condition and CITY's vision.
Per a meeting held at the City Manager's Office on April 22, 2019, the decision was made to move forward
with analyzing three design alternative locations:
• Alternative A: Crossing USl at SW 72"d Street (Sunset Dr.) and landing on the southeastern right-
of-way.
• Alternative B: Crossing USi at SW 71st Street and landing within the southeastern right-of-way
and converting SW 71st Street to a one-way access.
• Alternative C: Crossing USi at SW 70th Street and landing within the southeast side of the right-
of-way. (a variation of alternative C with a landing at the northeastern corner of 70" Street will
be reviewed as well)
Following completion of the Feasibility study and acceptance of the preferred location option. TYLI will
develop 15% design documents for the preferred alternative.
Alternative A is located at the intersection of US-1 and Sunset Dr. (SW 72"d St). The west landing of the
proposed overpass would be located within MDT's R-O-W adjacent to the south end of the South Miami
Metrorail Station. The east landing would be located within FOOT R-O-W, within the existing swale area.
Unfortunately, although this alternative would like serve the highest concentration of users, the existing
available width are not sufficient to construct the required towers. The footprint of the northwestern
tower actually encroaches 1'-6" into the Metrorail guideway. Transit requires a 5' min. buffer from the
drip -line. So, in reality this alternative would be encroaching into their envelope by 6'-6". The
southeastern tower technically fits in the FDOT right-of-way, and meets the 4' horizontal clearance
required from the face of curb. However, it is only 6' from the existing building face and will create a very
tight pedestrian/multi-use path that is not ideal. In addition, the proposed tower will obstruct the existing
historic building located at the north-east corner of the intersection. Earlier concepts had the bridge
elevated overthis Metrorail as a "third -level" bridge and landing north of the station. Although this would
solve the issue of the northwestern landing, the cost will be excessive and couple with the space issues

on the southeastern tower, would make this concept the least desirable. As such, Alternative A has been
deemed unfeasible at this time.

Alternative B is located atthe intersection of US-1 and SW 71" St. The northwestern landing ofthe proposed
overpass would be located within Transit's Metrorail right-of-way adjacent to the north end of the South
Miami Metrorail Station. The southeastern landing would be located with SW 71" ST right-of-way, requiring
that the existing street be modified to only one east -bound 12' lane at the intersection with US-1, and
converted to a one-way street to accommodate the bridge landing plaza. The SW 71" Street right-of-way is
under the jurisdiction of the City of South Miami, so this modification would have to be approved by the
City Commission, and a traffic study would have to completed and approved by MDC-DTPW traffic
operations prior to implementation.
The northwestern tower fits within the two horizontal constraints. It meets the 4' horizontal setback from
the face of curb required by FDOT and meets the S' separation from the Metrorail dripline. The remaining
coordination challenge is with the Underline project that will be rolled out by Transit in the coming years.
Please refer to the Agency coordination section for a complete discussion on this topic.
Based upon the geometrical and coordination aspects of this location, it will be feasible to proceed with this
Alternative.

CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI - U.S.I PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE ALT. B
Alternative C is located at the intersection of US-1 and SW 58" Avenue. The northwestern landing of the
proposed overpass would be located within MDT's right-of-way adjacent to the north end of the South
Miami Metrorail Station. The southeastern landing would be located within the existing right-of-way and
would require elimination of one lane to accommodate the landing depending on the final tower and
landing plaza arrangement. The SW 58" Street right-of-way is under the jurisdiction of the City of South
Miami, so this modification would have to be approved by the City Commission, and a traffic study would
have to completed and approved by MDC-DTPW traffic operations prior to implementation.
The northwestern tower fits within the two horizontal constraints. It meets the 4' horizontal setback from
the face of curb required by FDOT and meets the 5' separation from the Metrorail dripline. The remaining
coordination challenge is with the Underline project that will be rolled out by Transit in the coming years.
Please refer to the Agency coordination section for a complete discussion on this topic.
On Alternative C1, the northwestern landing is moved to the east side of the 58" Avenue intersection, and
the southeaster landing is moved to the FDOT right-of-way. This alternative has two challenges. The first
is it would require elimination of the southbound right -turn lane that is on MDC-DTPW right-of-way, but
FDOT built the turn lane under permit. The feasibility of it's removal has been confirmed by the County,
however further coordination will be required with FDOT to finalize. The southeastern tower and plaza
would encroach onto the Sunset Place property and would require acquisition or agreement with the
Property Owner. Based upon the geometrical and coordination aspects of this location, it will be feasible
to proceed with Alternative C, however Alternative C1 would require further coordination with the
stakeholders.

3. AGENCY COORDINATION
The two major agencies that we will be required to coordinate with are the right-of-way owners that are
affected by the potential pedestrian bridge sites and they include:
• Miami -Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works (MDC-DTPW) Transit Division
(Metrorail Property where northern tower will land)
• FDOT District 6 (US1 Right-of-way for aerial crossing)
Coordination with DC-DTPW was initiated on September 6, 2019. The City's consultant team met with
If Hegedus, Chie of Transportation Enhancements and the person leading the effort on the Underline
Project along the DTPW Metrorail corridor. We planned to meet with Javier Bustamante, Chief of Right of
Way, Utilities & Joint Development Division, but he could not attend the meeting last minute. The intent of
the meeting was as follows:
• Initiate coordination of our project with the Underline Project. The Underline project is currently
in procurement for a design firm and will be in direct conflict with our project, so commencing
coordination at this early stage would yield a more feasible and ultimately successful project for
the City of South Miami.
o Determine criteria for developing the best alternatives that will suit the City's needs and
also be a cohesive part of the Underline.
o Determine criteria for the design and geometrical constraints at ourtwo alternative sites.
o Receive initial feedback from the DTPW staff on the proposed alternative locations in
terms of feasibility, constraints, "fatal flaws", and review/approval process going forward
for use of their property.
• The meeting began with a discussion of the project history going back to the late 90's and through
today, as well as the development of the previous studies commissioned by MDT and FDOT of the
Sunset Station bridge.
• We presented our initial alternatives (B and C, see attached) to Irene. We discussed the
Alternative A at Sunset Drive briefly and why it does not work.
• We first reviewed alternative B (site located at SW 71" Street in front of Akashi)
o Irene's first comment was that the Underline conceptual plan in the area of the proposed
north tower in this concept is to develop a new 14' wide bicycle trail. We currently have
6'-6" between the tower and the Metrorail drip -line. We discussed the possibility of
running the trail under the guideway in order to avoid our tower. Based on the survey it
seems there is enough room between the tower and security wall at the station to
accommodate, exact dimension will be verified.
o Second comment was regarding access. Pedestrian would have to come from the existing
east -west walkway on the east side of the station and have to walk backwards to the
bridge and cross the bicycle trail. We discussed this item and determined that, while not
ideal, it was feasible.
Wethen reviewed alternative C (site located at SW 70`" Street intersection by Sunset place garage)
o We discussed at length the existing pinch point at this location caused by the Fire Station
parking lot that is currently using the Metrorail property. Irene mentioned that as part of
the underline, they are determining if the lease with the Fire Station can be
terminated/modified in orderto provide room fortheir project. This is a preliminary idea
they have, so at this time we do not know if this will occur. In order for the bridge to land
73 or 113 78
The City of South Miami
US1 Pedestrian Overpass Feasibility Study
here and the Underline to be accommodated, the relocation of the Fire Station parking
lot would have to occur.
o We then turned the conversation to landing the bridge on the NE corner of SW 70th
Street. Irene mentioned, that the existing FDOT south -bound right -turn lane is in fact in
their property and that FDOT constructed that lane through permit. They have begun
discussion with FDOT as part of their intersection studies to remove this turn lane. The
removal of this turn lane will create a great opportunity to not only land the bridge in this
area, but also create a reception plaza to the bridge that would be cohesive with the
underline. She suggested combining their planned improvements to the 701h Street
intersection with landing the bridge in this position would be her preferred choice for the
most cohesive project.
Finally, we discussed their understanding of what FDOT is doing as part of the underline project
as follows:
o FDOT is currently studying 24 intersections along the Underline project in order to identify
improvements that would be required to meet the intent and criteria of the Underline.
o At the particular intersection at SW 701h Street, she mentioned FDOT is evaluating a major
overhaul including possible elimination of the southbound right -turn late (as previously
mentioned) and major bike/ped upgrades.
o FDOT also has pedestrian counters installed there which can assist in our current study.
Next Steps:
o Evaluate suggested modifications to Alternative C using the NE corner of the intersection
(with elimination of the southbound right -turn).
o Contact FDOT staff about ongoing studies and pedestrian counts.
o Meet with FDOT staff in the coming week.
Following our meeting with MDC-DTPW, the team went on to a coordination meeting with FDOT District
6 permit office on September 25, 2019. We met with several staff representing the Permits Office and
the Design Office. Based upon our conversations, there were several planned projects along the corridor
that we would need to coordination with including:
• Lighting Project 440179-1(letting date of 2022)
• RRR Project 443916-1(letting date of 2024)
With respect to permitting, there were no fatal flaws identified by staff. The main points regarding design
were horizontal clearance of the towers and vertical clearance of bridge crossing which will have to meet
FDOT standards, as well as the coordination with ongoing projects. In addition, they mentioned that the
bridge, once constructed, will require ongoing bridge inspection every 24 months.
We requested information from their staff regarding the ongoing pedestrian studies, related to the
Underlines, that MDC-DTPW mentioned to us in our coordination meeting with them. The staff present
were not familiar with any planned project, but suggested we coordinate with the Planning office led by
Ken Jeffries.
On October 15, 2019, we contacted Ken Jeffries of the Planning Office regarding the intersection
improvements and pedestrian studies referenced by MDC-DTPW as part of the underline. The Planning
Office provided us with documents related to the 511 5/US 1/Dixie Hwy from SR 94/5W 88 St/Kendall Dr
to 5119/1-95 Corridor Planning Study (link below).

This study included the impact expected as a result of the underline, but unfortunately did not include the
pedestrian counts and data we anticipated.
In February of 2020, the City Manager had a meeting with MDC-DTPW staff and Project Managers for the
Underline including Irene Hegedus with whom the Design Team previously met. The discussion centered
around the proposed concepts. As a result of that the Underline Manager's review of the concepts, the
preferred alternative that best integrated with the plans of the Underline was Alternative B.
4. PEDESTRIAN COUNT SURVEY AND ANALYSIS
The Project Team conducted a field visit or survey to record level of pedestrian/bicyclist activity as well as
observe pedestrian/bicyclist behavior and movement patterns at the following locations.
• SW 70th Street and South Dixie Highway (US-1)
• SW 71st Street and South Dixie Highway (US-1)
The purpose of this survey and collecting pedestrian counts was to inform the selection of the most
beneficial location for pedestrian bridge. The graphic in Figure 1 shows pedestrian origins and destinations
with one quarter mile of the South Miami Metrorail Station.

The City of South Miami
US1 Pedestrian Overpass Feasibility Study
Pedestrian counts and observations were conducted a on typical weekday, Wednesday (11/20/19) from
7:30 am to 6:00 pm into 15-minute intervals. Pedestrian count data is included in Appendix Cforthe entire
day. Below is a brief summary of count data and field observations for daily, morning and evening
commute as well as midday time periods.
• Morning commute (7:30 am to 10:30 am)
• Midday (11:30 am to 1:30 pm)
• Evening commute (3:30 am to 6:00 pm)
Overall, pedestrian traffic crossing South Dixie Highway (US-1) during the 9 %2 hour period was 347
pedestrians. Approximately 18% (or 62) pedestrians crossed midblock including some of them walked
diagonally across the SW 70th Street and South Dixie Highway (US-1) intersection during this time period.
Further, approximately41% (or 162) pedestrians that crossed South Dixie Highway (US-1) also crossed SW
58" Avenue at South Dixie Highway (US-1). (see Figure 2)
Figure 2: Pedestrian Counts at SW 71" Street and South Dixie Highway (US-1), Daily
It was observed that South Dixie Highway (US-1) crossings generally increased with Metrorail arrivals and
departures. In addition, during the 9 A hour observation period there were only 11 bicyclists recorded
crossing South Dixie Highway (US-1) with the highest frequency occurring during the evening commute.
During the morning commute time period from 7:30 am to 10:30 am, 107pedestrians crossed South Dixie
Highway (US-1). Approximately 38% of the pedestrian crossings occurred midblock or outside of the
76 of 113 81
The City of South Miami
US1 Pedestrian Overpass Feasibility Study
designated crosswalk, which was significantly higher than at any other time of day. During the same time
period, there was only one recorded midblock crossing at South Dixie Highway (US-1) and SW 71" Street.
Pedestrian activity at this time was primarily generated by the South Miami Station.
During the midday from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, the total pedestrian count at SW 71" Street and South Dixie
Highway (US-1) was 66 pedestrians, which was noticeably less compared to morning and evening
commutes. Only three pedestrian crossings occurred midblock. In addition, during this 2-hourtime period
only three pedestrians were recorded crossing midblock at South Dixie Highway (US-1) and SW 71" Street.
At this time, pedestrian activity was generated by both the South Miami Station and the Shops at Sunset
Place with 45% of pedestrians crossing South Dixie Highway (US-1) also crossing SW 58th Avenue.
During the evening commute time period (3:30 pm to 6:30 pm), pedestrian activity increased to their
highest levels, with 174 pedestrians crossing South Dixie Highway (US-1) with in the 2 %:-hour window and
less than 10% occurring away from the designated crosswalks. There was only one pedestrian recorded
crossing midblock at South Dixie Highway (US-1) and SW 71" Street and over 50% of all crossing were
generated by the South Miami Station.
Table 1 below provides a summary to pedestrians counts.

In addition, during the field visit, it was noted that given the long traffic signal cycle length combined with
short pedestrian walk time leads pedestrians to look for gaps to cross the South Dixie Highway (US-1)
outside the allocated walk time with on -coming traffic. Further, the broken fence around the South Miami
Station encourages pedestrians to cross midblock as it provides the most direct path and shortest crossing
distance across South Dixie Highway (US-1).
Conclusion
Following major conclusions can be derived from the field visit and pedestrian count data.
• South Miami Station and land uses immediately east of South Dixie Highway (US-1) are key
pedestrian activity generators in the study area.
• Pedestrian activity is higher during morning and evening commute time periods, 7:30 am to 10:30
am and 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm respectively compared to the rest of day.
• Approximately 18% (or 62) of the pedestrians cross South Dixie Highway (US-1) midblock away
from South Dixie Highway (US-1) and SW 70" Street intersection as well as diagonally to finding
the shortest and most direct path as well as overcome short pedestrian walk time combined with
long traffic signal cycle length.
• A small number of pedestrians cross South Dixie Highway (US-1) at SW 70`h Street where no
crosswalk exists.

Based on observations and pedestrian count data gathered during this field visit, it appears that a
pedestrian bridge that captures pedestrian traffic between SW 70th Street and SW 71" Street would
capture a significant amount of pedestrian traffic, improve pedestrian safety, and also improve trafficflow
once the at -grade pedestrian crosswalk traffic is remove from the intersection.
5. CRASH DATA ANALYSIS, YEAR 2014-2019
The project team conducted a high level crash analysis using Signal Four Analytics's 2014-2019 crash data.
The crash data analysis was focused on identifying bicycle and pedestrian crash locations as well as
comparing average and actual crash rates for various segments. Table 2 presents a crash data summary.
During the five-year period from 2014 to 2019, a total of 181 crashes occurred in the study area and
included one bicycle crash and three crashes involving pedestrians. These crashes accounted for two
percent of all crashes, respectively. The bicycle crash occurred in 2016 on the segment of US 1 between
the intersections of SW 71" Street and SW 70t1 Streetjust south of SW 7011 Street. The bicyclist was injured
after being struck by a motor vehicle. The pedestrian crashes occurred in 2016, 2017 and 2018 and
included injuries. Two of the three pedestrian crashes occurred at the intersection of US1 and SW 70tb
Street. The third pedestrian crash occurred on US 1, just north of SW 70" Street.

Figure 3 shows the general location of all of the bicycle and pedestrian crashes. Perthe spatial distribution
of the bicycle and pedestrian crashes, these crashes tend to be concentrated at or within the proximity of
the intersection of US 1 and SW 70w Street. Bicycle and pedestrian activity is significant at this location
given the land uses and transit connectivity with South Miami Metrorail Station located just west of US 1.

As shown in the Figure 4, the actual crash rate' for the time period studied at the intersection of US 1
and SW 70" Street is higher than the average crash rate 2. Additionally, the actual crash rate for the
segment from SW 71" Street to SW 70" Street is slightly less than the average crash rate. This analysis
indicates a need for improvements to enhance the safety for all users; particularly for bicyclists and
pedestrians near the intersection of US-1 and SW 70" Street. It should be noted that the average
crash rate indicates crashes for similar type of facilities with similar land use characteristics.
Based upon the findings of the crash study and pedestrian survey, it is evident that a sufficient case
exists for the installation of a pedestrian bridge to provide for a safe crossing of the heavily
trafficked USI Corridor to provide a critical link between mass transit and the City of South Miami
downtown area.
' The frequency of crashes relative to the exposure of traffic on a roadway segment or intersection is called its
crash rate. Actual crash rate is defined as the total number of crashes per million vehicle miles in any given year.
' A critical crash rate or threshold value is calculated for each site and compared to the observed or actual crash
rate. Sites with an observed or actual crash rate greater than their critical crash rate are flagged for further
investigation.

Alternative C
$6,848,797
Alternative C1
$5,704,923
Table 3: Estimate of Probable Cost for Alternatives
7. DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following summarizes the key issues investigated as part of this feasibility study.
Right of Way
The three alternative sites reviewed have the common restriction of a confined tower footprint on the
northwestern landing of the proposed overpass due to the restricted ROW available on the west side of US-
1. However, Alternative A does not fit within the open space of the ROW and encroaches into the Metrorail
envelope.
Alternatives B and C do not require R-O-W acquisition, assuming that FDOT and MDC-DTPW will grant
easements for the construction of the proposed facility at no cost to City of South Miami.
Alternative A presents a limited available footprint forthe proposed southeastern landing and the proposed
tower will obstruct the existing historic building located at the north-east corner of the intersection. Further,
the major constraints with the northwestern tower and cost of mitigating that conflict make this alternative
unfeasible.
Alternative B presents a limited available footprint for the proposed southeast landing; however,
preliminary plan view layouts confirm that a functioning facility is feasible within the limited available right-
of-way by converting 71" Street to a one-way and coordinating with Underline on the northwest landing.
One of the main disadvantages with this alternative is that the southeast tower will block the view of the
business properties immediately north which could negatively impact these businesses. Further, this
alternative requires the reconfiguration of SW 71" St to one 12' lane at the intersection with US-1. This
reconfiguration may cause possible impacts to the adjacent business, by limiting their access and available
parking. However, the main advantage is that due to the low traffic experienced on this side street, the
implementation of landing plaza may actually be a boon to the adjacent business at the expense of a minor
traffic impact.
Alternative C requires no additional right-of-way, but will require a reconfiguration of the 58`h Avenue
intersection to eliminate one lane of the existing three lanes of vehicular traffic . This alternative allows for
a more functional and favorable location to reduce congestion at the intersection of US-1 and SW 71" St
and will preclude any adverse impact to the adjacent businesses.
14
81 of 113 86
The City of South Miami
US1 Pedestrian Overpass Feasibility Study
Alternative C1 will require reconfiguration of the south -westbound leg of the 581h Avenue intersection as
well as acquisition or agreement with the Sunset Place Property owner.
Existing Utilities
A Preliminary review of available utility information for the areas under study was conducted. The
conclusion of the study is that for alternatives B and C no major relocations will be required. Under all
alternatives, the lighting circuits for the street lights along US1 will required relocation or undergrounding
for installation of the overpass, however this is a minor coordination issue.
On Alternative B, drainage structures and water valves will require adjustment or relocation and have been
accounted for in the estimate. One light pole along US1 will require relocation.
For Alternative C, similarly drainage structures, existing manholes, and water valves will require adjustment.
An underground power duct bank is near the proposed southeastern tower, therefore further coordination
with FPL will be required to determine the feasibility of relocation.
For Alternatives C and C1, overpass vertical clearance will have to go above the FDOT standard to clear the
existing traffic signals to not inhibit visibility. Relocation of the signals will be required in either alternative.
In summary, there are no critical utility issues that may cause a fatal flaw in any of the planned alternatives.
Environmental Concerns
A preliminary review of regulatory data bases was conducted. No apparent environmental concerns were
found for Alternative A; however, due to historic land uses a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is
recommended to verify that no environmental concerns are present.
In the case of Alternatives B & C, documented contamination has been recorded within the Mario's Dry
Cleaners Site, which is located along SW 71s' Street between US1 and SW 58`h Avenue. Upon investigation,
it is documented that MDC-DERM has been performing groundwater monitoring of this site, and their
published findings show no contamination beyond the site limits. Based on this preliminary information, it
is recommended to perform a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment to verify that environmental concerns
are not present.
Recommendations
Based on this preliminary study, it is our opinion that Alternative B, C, and C1 are all feasible. However,
based primarily upon the findings of the pedestrian study, the consideration of project cost, and the critical
coordination with MDC-DTPW's Underline projects, it is our recommendation to move forward with
Alternative B as the preferred alternative.

maintain at its own expense during the life of the Contract, insurance of the types and in the
minimum amounts stated below as will protect the FIRM, from claims which may arise out of or
result from the contract or the performance of the contract with the City of South Miami,
whether such claim is against the FIRM or any sub -contractor, or by anyone directly or
indirectly employed by any of them or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable.
B. No insurance required by the CITY may be issued or written by a surplus lines carrier unless

Subcontractor or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or by anyone for
whose acts any of them may be liable: (a) claims under workers' compensation, disability benefit
and other similar employee benefit acts which are applicable to the Work to be performed; (b)
claims for damages because of bodily injury, occupational sickness or disease, or death of the
FIRM's employees; (c) claims for damages because of bodily injury, sickness or disease, or death
of any person other than the FIRM's employees; (d) claims for damages insured by usual
personal injury liability coverage; (e) claims for damages, other than to the Work itself, because
of injury to or destruction of tangible property, including loss of use resulting there from; (f)
claims for damages because of bodily injury, death of a person or property damage arising out of
ownership, maintenance or use of a motor vehicle; (g) claims for bodily injury or property
damage arising out of completed operations; and (h) claims involving contractual liability

The following procedures will be used for resolution of protested solicitations and awards. The word
"bid", as well as all of its derivations, shall mean a response to a solicitation, including requests for
proposals, requests for a letter of interest and requests for qualifications.
a) Notice of Intent to Protest. Any actual or prospective bidder who perceives itself to be
aggrieved in connection with any formal solicitation or who intends to contest or object to any
bid specifications or any bid solicitation shall file a written notice of intent to file a protest with
the City Clerk's office within three calendar days prior to the date set for opening of bids. A
notice of intent to file a protest is considered filed when received by the City Clerk's office by
e-mail or, if hand delivered, when stamped with the City Clerk's receipt stamp containing the
date and time of receipt of a notice of intent to file a protest. Any actual responsive and
responsible bidder who perceives itself to be aggrieved in connection with the recommended
award of a contract and who wishes to protest the award, shall file a written notice of intent to
file a protest with the City Clerk's office within three calendar days after the City Commission
meeting at which the recommendation is considered for action. A notice of intent to file a
protest is considered filed when received by the City Clerk's office by e-mail or, if hand
delivered, when stamped with the City Clerk's receipt stamp containing the date and time of
receipt.
b) Protest of solicitation. A protest of the solicitation or award must be in writing ("Protest
Letter") and submitted to the City Clerk's office within five calendar days after the date of the
filing of the notice of intent to file a protest. The Protest Letter is considered filed when the
Protest Letter and the required filing fee of $1,000 are both timely received by the City Clerk's
office. In order for the Protest Letter and filing fee to be considered timely delivered by hand
delivery, the date stamp of the Clerk's office must appear on the original Protest Letter and/or
a copy of the Protest Letter and the date stamp must also appear on a copy of the check issued
for the payment of the filing fee, or, if payment is made in cash, a receipt must be issued by the
Clerk's office reflecting the date of receipt of the payment. While the Clerk may accept the
Protest Letter by email, the Protest Letter shall not be considered to be timely received until
and unless the required filing fee of $1,000 is received by the City Clerk's office and, if payment
is in cash, a receipt is issued with the date of the receipt of payment, or if payment is by check,
a copy of the check is stamped by the Clerk with the date stamp of the Clerk's office showing
the date of receipt. The Protest Letter shall state with particularity the specific facts and law
upon which the protest is based, it shall describe and attach all pertinent documents and
evidence relevant and material to the protest and it shall be accompanied by any required filing.
The basis for review of the protest shall be the documents and other evidence described in and
attached to the Protest Letter and no facts, grounds, documentation, or other evidence not
specifically described in and attached to the Protest Letter at the time of its filing shall be
permitted or considered in support of the protest.
c) Computation of time. No time will be added to the above time limits for service by mail. The
last day of the period so computed shall be included unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal
holiday in which event the period shall run until the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday,
or legal holiday.
112 of 113 117
d) Challenges. The written protest may not challenge the relative weight of the evaluation criteria
or any formula used for assigning points in making an award determination, nor shall it
challenge the City's determination of what is in the City's best interest which is one of the
criteria for selecting a bidder whose offer may not be the lowest bid price.
e) Authority to resolve protests. The Purchasing Manager, after consultation with the City
Attorney, shall issue a written recommendation within ten calendar days after receipt of a valid
Protest Letter. Said recommendation shall be sent to the City Manager with a copy sent to the
protesting party. The City Manager may then, submit a recommendation to the City
Commission for approval or disapproval of the protest, resolve the protest without submission
to the City Commission, or reject all proposals.
f) Stay of procurement during protests. Upon receipt of a timely, proper and valid Protest Letter
filed pursuant to the requirements of this section, the City shall not proceed further with the
solicitation or with the award or execution of the contract until the protest is resolved by the
City Manager or the City Commission as provided in subsection (e) above, unless the City
Manager makes a written determination that the solicitation process or the contract award
must be continued without delay in order to avoid potential harm to the health, safety, or
welfare of the public or to protect substantial interests of the City or to prevent youth athletic
teams from effectively missing a playing season.

Service, the Owner releases the Architect and Architect's consultant(s) from all claims and causes of action
arising from such uses. The Owner, to the extent permitted by law, further agrees to indemnify and hold

not for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other information such as dimensions,
quantities, and installation or performance of equipment or systems, which are the Contractor's responsibility.
The Architect's review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated
by the Architect, of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The Architect's
approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.
If the Contract Documents specifically require the Contractor to provide professional design services or
certifications by a design professional related to systems, materials or equipment, the Architect shall specify the
appropriate performance and design criteria that such services must satisfy. The Architect shall review Shop
Drawings and other submittals related to the Work designed or certified by the design professional retained by
the Contractor that bear such professional's seal and signature when submitted to the Architect. The Architect
shall be entitled to rely upon the adequacy, accuracy and completeness of the services, certifications and
approvals performed or provided by such design professionals.
Shall V3 Architectural Group, Inc. be contracted to perform Construction Administration, in accordance with the
Architect -approved submittal schedule, any shop drawings submitted by the contractor shall be reviewed,
signed and stamped by the GC prior to submission to Architect. If they are not reviewed, signed and stamped

from Architects work, plans or specifications. If after the construction has begun, an error or omission is
discovered and the item can still be provided in the planned sequence of construction without a premium cost to
the Owner, then the Owner will pay for this entire item just as if it had been included in the original contract
documents. If this error or omission is discovered out of sequence with the planned construction schedule
resulting in a premium cost, then V3 will pay the premium cost to have this item corrected or included, while the
Owner will pay the value of the item as if it had been included in the original contract documents. If such
premium cost falls within two percent (2%) of the defined construction cost, then such cost shall be the
responsibility of the Owner. Owner agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to limit the liability of the
Architect and its consultants for any all claims expenses from any cause or causes, so that the total aggregate

process. The creation of the 3D model Is pan of the design and must be
converted into 2D to print the construction documents. The additional use of
the Virtual 3D model can provide additional advantages and services, but at
an additional cost. Another very useful feature is the users ability to visualize
the spaces in 3D early on as part of the approval process.

Subject: Proposal for Phase I ESA, FBB Roost Survey, and Tree Permitting Services
Pedestrian Bridge Across US-1 To South Miami Metrorail Station
Vicinity of SW 71s' Street, South Miami, Florida
Smart -Sciences Proposal No. 003-009-P
Dear Mr. Alfonso:
Smart -Sciences, Inc. (Smart -Sciences) is pleased to submit this proposal to A&P Consulting Transportation
Engineers (APCTE, Client) for conducting a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA), a roost
survey for the Florida Bonneted Bat (Eumops floridanus, FBB - a species listed under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973), and tree permitting services at the above -referenced proposed
South Miami pedestrian bridge crossing (Site) located in South Miami, Miami -Dade County, Florida.
Included in the proposal is a summary of germane project information as understood by Smart -Sciences,
the proposed scope of services, fees, schedule, and authorization procedures.
Background Information
The footprint of the proposed pedestrian bridge is located in the vicinity of SW 71 ' Street and US-1 near the
South Miami Metrorail Station in South Miami, Miami -Dade County, Florida. The Client proposes the
construction of a pedestrian bridge from the intersection of US-1 and SW 71' Street (east) to the Transit's
Metrorail right-of-way adjacent to the north end of the South Miami Metrorail Station (west). This concept
design recommends for an enclosed overpass bridge traversing east and west across US-] into the South
Miami downtown area to accommodate pedestrian traffic from the South Miami Metrorail Station. The
project area consists of major roadways and commercial developments with a vegetated right-of-way along
the elevated Metrorail tracks, which contains various trees and/or palms. Based on preliminary review of
online databases several potential hazardous materials sites were identified within approximately 500 feet
of the proposed pedestrian bridge that will need to be reviewed as part of this Phase I ESA.
The Site is located within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) South Florida Urban Bat Area. If
trees and/or palms need to be removed or relocated due to the proposed construction, a roost survey for the
FBB will be conducted in accordance with USFWS Florida Bonneted Bat Consultation Guidelines (October
2019). This federal listing is recognized by State of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
(FWC) and Miami -Dade County (MDC) Comprehensive Development Master Plan (Chapter IV CON-9A,
B, Q. Tree removal will require a permit from the City of South Miami.

South Miami, Miami -Dade County, Florida
Smart -Sciences Proposal No. 003-009-P
Task 1— Phase I ESA
Our approach to performing a Phase I ESA includes a review of public records, interviews with appropriate
local agencies and other appropriate entities, a site and vicinity reconnaissance and preparation of a written
report containing findings, opinions, and conclusions.
The most widely used standard for performing Phase I ESAs is the standard developed by the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) entitled E1527-13 Standard Practice for Environmental
Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process. Smart -Sciences proposes to use this standard
for this project. The ASTM E-1527-13 standard meets the intent of the Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA's) All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) reporting requirements.
Review of Public Record
A review of reasonably ascertainable and practically reviewable public records for the Site and the
immediate vicinity will be conducted to characterize environmental features of the site and to identify past
and present land use activities, which may indicate a potential for recognized environmental conditions
(REC), as defined in ASTM E-1527-13. Smart -Sciences will use the services of Environmental Data
Resources (EDR) to obtain and assimilate the results of an environmental regulatory list search for our
review. Review of the public record will include the following:
• Review of public records made available to us via web -based applications and database searches,
present and pending enforcement actions, and assessments at the site and within the immediate
vicinity. Smart -Sciences will complete a regulatory agency file and records review in
conformance with ASTMS E1527-13, Section 8.2, including regulatory agency files and records
for the Site and adjoining properties.
• Review of the following reasonably ascertainable documents: aerial photographs, fire insurance
maps, street directories and topographic maps of the site and vicinity, as appropriate, for evidence
suggesting past uses that might have involved hazardous substances or petroleum products.
Site Reconnaissance
A site reconnaissance will be performed to identify obvious visual signs of past or existing contamination on
or adjacent to the site, and to evaluate evidence found in the review of public record that might be indicative
of activities resulting in hazardous substances or petroleum products being used or deposited on the site.
The site reconnaissance will include the following activities:
• An onsite survey of the Site will be conducted looking for signs of past or current activities which
could be cause for a REC to be identified.
• A visual reconnaissance of the study area and adjacent properties will be performed to observe
surface signs of spills, stressed vegetation, buried waste, underground or above ground storage

tanks, transformers, or unusual soil discoloration which may indicate the possible presence of
contaminants on the properties.
• Representative areas of the site will be photographed to document the current condition of the
property as well as relevant conditions such as unusual soil discoloration, stressed vegetation,
debris, construction remnants, or other pertinent features associated with the Site and surrounding
lands as might influence the Site.
Interviews
Smart -Sciences will attempt to conduct interviews with appropriate owners and local officials to request
local knowledge of hazardous substances or petroleum products within the study area or on adjacent
properties.
Written Report and Deliverables
Upon completion of the public record review, interviews, and site reconnaissance, we will provide a
written report for the project site that documents our findings. Our findings will be presented in terms of
the presence, or absence, of recognized environmental conditions as defined in ASTM E-1527-13.
However, a finding of "no evidence of recognized environmental conditions" should not be interpreted as
a guarantee or warranty that the property is "clean" or free of all contaminants. Recommendations of
response options to identified contamination issues will be provided upon request. Our fee includes
electronic delivery of the final reports for the project Site.
Smart -Sciences' report will be prepared on behalf of our Client and the City of South Miami for their
exclusive use. If you wish to have a third party rely on this report, that party must execute a Secondary
Client Agreement (under which the Client executing this agreement will become the Primary Client) with
Smart -Sciences. Use of this report for purposes beyond those reasonably intended by our Primary Client
and Smart -Sciences will be at the sole risk of the user.
Task 2 — FBB Roost Survey and Technical Memo
An FBB roost survey will be conducted in accordance the USFWS Florida Bonneted Bat Consultation
Guidelines (October 2019). This survey will be conducted concurrently with the Phase I ESA site
reconnaissance visit (Task l) and will evaluate roosting potential by conducting a roost survey of the trees
and/or palms within the project footprint that may need to be removed/relocated. This effort will include
reviewing cavities, crevices, and underneath dead palm fronds for use by FBB as roosting or resting areas.
Smart -Sciences' biologists will inspect cavities or crevices for claw marks, hair, guano, or other signs of
use. As appropriate, cavities will be inspected visually with a micro video camera mounted on an
extendable rod or by direct sight inspection using binoculars. Cavities above 35 feet of elevation are out
of reach of the surveying equipment, and if observed cavities above this height cannot be inspected in its
entirety (binoculars may not be sufficient), a supplemental acoustic survey may become necessary to

.Smart -Sciences Proposal No. 003-009-P
assess if FBB are roosting in this tree. This proposal does not include acoustic surveying efforts.
Task 2 includes the preparation of a letter report for submittal to the Client. The letter report will discuss
our findings from the roost survey activities, including dimensions and color photographs of the trees
inspected, and provide a discussion of FBB roosting potential within and directly adjacent to the project
area. Please note that this letter report will not meet the USFWS requirements for a Biological
Assessment. If FBB are identified to be roosting within or directly adjacent to the Site, ESA Section
7(a)(2) Consultation would be required. If observed cavities/crevices could not be inspected in its entirety
due to height and/or location, a supplemental acoustic survey may be needed to determine if FBB are
roosting in trees proposed for removal. Additionally, ESA Section 7(a)(2) Consultation may be required.
Such consultation efforts are beyond the scope of this proposal; but can be provided, as we routinely
coordinate with USFWS on issues of FBB.
Task 3 — Tree Removal Permit Application with City of South Miami
Concurrently with the roost survey (Task 2), Smart -Sciences will evaluate trees/palms (approximately 10
—15) within the project area, documenting species, height, diameter at breast height, canopy coverage and
health condition. Smart -Sciences will number the trees, leaving a numbered metal tag on each tree, and
collect locations with a GPS unit. We will apply International Society of Arboriculture standards of
practice to all measurements. A tree inventory table presenting relevant information on trees will be
prepared. If specimen trees are identified, photographs will be collected with a focus on any visible sign
demonstrating compromised condition of the tree if present.
Smart -Sciences will prepare and submit the Application for Tree Removal with the City of South Miami.
The Client will need to provide the disposition of each tree (remove/relocate/remain). The trees will be
overlaid on the site plans and we will provide justifications for tree removal. Removal of existing trees will
require canopy mitigation, which can be (partially) offset through proposed landscaping. The specifics of
canopy replacement and tree replacement depend upon a tree's size, species, native classification, and other
considerations. Final canopy mitigation fees are determined by the City of South Miami. Items to be
provided by the Client, via the project engineer and/or landscape architect include but are not limited to the
following:
• Site plans with tree overlay. Smart -Sciences will provide tree locations in a digital format such as
CAD or GIS, but others will need to overlay the trees on the site plans and provide a copy in a
format suitable for submittal to City of South Miami (such as PDF). The Client will need to provide
the disposition of each tree (remove, relocate, remain).
• Landscape plans
• Tree removal application form signed by the property owner and applicant
If relocating of trees is proposed, this would require a Tree Relocation Plan which is not included in this

note that our ability to complete the review of the public record within the project schedule often depends
on the availability of certain maps, records, etc. that we may want to review or personnel whom we would
want to interview. If we experience difficulties scheduling, we will inform you in a timely manner and
obtain your concurrence on extending the evaluation period, or terminating that aspect of the evaluation,
and preparing our report without the benefit of that information (either option will satisfy ASTM E1527-
13 requirements). ASTM E1527-13 states that information is reasonably ascertainable if it can be
provided for review within 20 days of the request. Delivery of the report is also dependent upon our receipt
of the completed Client Supplied Information Checklist and the User Questionnaire.
Our tletter report under Task 2 can be provided within ten (10) business days of conducting our Site visit.
The tree inventory under Task 3 can be provided within five (5) business days of conducting our Site
visit, and the Tree Removal Application can be submitted to the City of South Miami within five (5)

1. PROJECT BACKGROUND
T.Y. Lin International (TYLI), as a consultant to the Miami Dade Department of Transportation and Public
Works (DTPW), previously the Miami -Dade Transit agency (MDT), completed a Site Alternative Study for
the agency in May of 2008. The project was initiated by the Agency in conjunction with the University of
Miami Pedestrian Overpass which was complete in recent years. The South Miami Overpass did not move
forward as a project at that time. It is our understanding that the City of South Miami (CITY) would like to
revisit the concept of the pedestrian overpass linking the DTPW South Miami Metrorail station to the
South Miami Downtown area. This proposed scope of work to be covered under this Site Feasibility Study
is for the placement of a pedestrian overpass using current data. A similar methodology will be used as
in the previous study, however due to the age of the previous study, all new investigations and
coordination with stakeholders, utilities, and affected agencies will need to be undertaken, as well as new
concept plans and cost estimates to accommodate the current condition and CITY's vision.
Per a meeting held at the City Manager's Office on April 22, 2019, the decision was made to move forward
with analyzing three design alternative locations:
• Alternative A: Crossing USl at SW 72nd Street (Sunset Dr.) and landing on the southeastern right-
of-way.
• Alternative B: Crossing USl at SW 71st Street and landing within the southeastern right-of-way
and converting SW 71st Street to a one-way access.
Alternative C: Crossing US1 at SW 70th Street and landing within the southeast side of the right-
of-way. (a variation of alternative C with a landing at the northeastern corner of 70`" Street will
be reviewed as well)
Following completion of the Feasibility study and acceptance of the preferred location option. TYLI will
develop 15%design documents for the preferred alternative.
2. DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVES
Alternative A is located at the intersection of US-1 and Sunset Dr. (SW 72"d St). The west landing of the
proposed overpass would be located within MDT's R-O-W adjacent to the south end of the South Miami
Metrorail Station. The east landing would be located within FOOT R-O-W, within the existing swale area.
Unfortunately, although this alternative would like serve the highest concentration of users, the existing
available width are not sufficient to construct the required towers. The footprint of the northwestern
tower actually encroaches 1'-6" into the Metrorail guideway. Transit requires a 5' min. buffer from the
drip -line. So, in reality this alternative would be encroaching into their envelope by 6'-6". The
southeastern tower technically fits in the FDOT right-of-way, and meets the V horizontal clearance
rr_cuired from the face of curb. However, it is only 6' from the existing building face and will create a very
tight pedestrian/multi-use path that is not ideal. In addition, the proposed tower will obstruct the existing
historic building located at the north-east corner of the intersection. Earlier concepts had the bridge
elevated over this Metrorail as a "third -level" bridge and landing north of the station. Although this would
solve the issue of the northwestern landing, the cost will be excessive and couple with the space issues
40 of 270
on the southeastern tower, would make this concept the least desirable. As such, Alternative A has been
deemed unfeasible at this time.

Alternative B is located at the intersection of US-1 and SW 71" St. The northwestern landing of the proposed
overpass would be located within Transit's Metrorail right-of-way adjacent to the north end of the South
Miami Metrorail Station. The southeastern landing would be located with SW 71" ST right-of-way, requiring
that the existing street be modified to only one east -bound 12' lane at the intersection with US-1, and
converted to a one-way street to accommodate the bridge landing plaza. The SW 71" Street right-of-way is
under the jurisdiction of the City of South Miami, so this modification would have to be approved by the
City Commission, and a traffic study would have to completed and approved by MDC-DTPW traffic
operations prior to implementation.
The northwestern tower fits within the two horizontal constraints. It meets the 4' horizontal setback from
the face of curb required by FDOT and meets the 5' separation from the Metrorail dripline. The remaining
coordination challenge is with the Underline project that will be rolled out by Transit in the coming years.
Please refer to the Agency coordination section for a complete discussion on this topic.
Based upon the geometrical and coordination aspects of this location, it will be feasible to proceed with this
Alternative.

Alternative C is located at the intersection of US-1 and SW 581h Avenue. The northwestern landing of the
proposed overpass would be located within MDT's right-of-way adjacent to the north end of the South
Miami Metrorail Station. The southeastern landing would be located within the existing right-of-way and
would require elimination of one lane to accommodate the landing depending on the final tower and
landing plaza arrangement. The SW 581h Street right-of-way is under the jurisdiction of the City of South
Miami, so this modification would have to be approved by the City Commission, and a traffic study would
have to completed and approved by MDC-DTPW traffic operations prior to implementation.
The northwestern tower fits within the two horizontal constraints. It meets the 4' horizontal setback from
the face of curb required by FDOT and meets the 5' separation from the Metrorail dripline. The remaining
coordination challenge is with the Underline project that will be rolled out by Transit in the coming years.
Please refer to the Agency coordination section for a complete discussion on this topic.
On Alternative C1, the northwestern landing is moved to the east side of the 581h Avenue intersection, and
the southeaster landing is moved to the FOOT right-of-way. This alternative has two challenges. The first
is it would require elimination of the southbound right -turn lane that is on MDC-DTPW right-of-way, but
FOOT built the turn lane under permit. The feasibility of it's removal has been confirmed by the County,
however further coordination will be required with FDOT to finalize. The southeastern tower and plaza
would encroach onto the Sunset Place property and would require acquisition or agreement with the
Property Owner. Based upon the geometrical and coordination aspects of this location, it will be feasible
to proceed with Alternative C, however Alternative C1 would require further coordination with the
stakeholders.

3. AGENCY COORDINATION
The two major agencies that we will be required to coordinate with are the right-of-way owners that are
affected by the potential pedestrian bridge sites and they include:
• Miami -Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works (MDC-DTPW) Transit Division
(Metrorail Property where northern towerwill land)
• FDOT District 6 (US7 Right-of-way for aerial crossing)
Coordination with MDC-DTPW was initiated on September 6, 2019. The City's consultant team met with
Irene Hegedus, Chief of Transportation Enhancements and the person leading the effort on the Underline
Project along the DTPW Metrorail corridor. We planned to meet with Javier Bustamante, Chief of Right of
Way, Utilities & Joint Development Division, but he could not attend the meeting last minute. The intent of
the meeting was as follows:
• Initiate coordination of our project with the Underline Project. The Underline project is currently
in procurement for a design firm and will be in direct conflict with our project, so commencing
coordination at this early stage would yield a more feasible and ultimately successful project for
the City of South Miami.
o Determine criteria for developing the best alternatives that will suit the City s needs and
also be a cohesive part of the Underline.
o Determine criteria for the design and geometrical constraints at our two alternative sites.
o Receive initial feedback from the DTPW staff on the proposed alternative locations in
terms of feasibility, constraints, "fatal flaws", and review/approval process going forward
for use of their property.
• The meeting began with a discussion of the project history going back to the late 90's and through
today, as well as the development of the previous studies commissioned by MDT and FDOT of the
Sunset Station bridge.
• We presented our initial alternatives (B and C, see attached) to Irene. We discussed the
Alternative A at Sunset Drive briefly and why it does not work.
We first reviewed alternative B (site located at SW 711 Street in front of Akashi)
o Irene's first comment was that the Underline conceptual plan in the area of the proposed
north tower in this concept is to develop a new 14' wide bicycle trail. We currently have
6'-6" between the tower and the Metrorail drip -line. We discussed the possibility of
running the trail under the guideway in order to avoid our tower. Based on the survey it
seems there is enough room between the tower and security wall at the station to
accommodate, exact dimension will be verified.
o Second comment was regarding access. Pedestrian would have to come from the existing
east -west walkway on the east side of the station and have to walk backwards to the
bridge and cross the bicycle trail. We discussed this item and determined that, while not
ideal, it was feasible.
We then reviewed alternative C (site located at SW 701h Street intersection by Sunset place garage)
o We discussed at length the existing pinch point at this location caused by the Fire Station
parking lot that is currently using the Metrorail property. Irene mentioned that as part of
the underline, they are determining if the lease with the Fire Station can be
terminated/modified in order to provide room for their project. This is a preliminary idea
they have, so at this time we do not know if this will occur. In order for the bridge to land
44 of 270
here and the Underline to be accommodated, the relocation of the Fire Station parking
lot would have to occur.
o We then turned the conversation to landing the bridge on the NE corner of SW 701h
Street. Irene mentioned, that the existing FDOT south -bound right -turn lane is in fact in
their property and that FDOT constructed that lane through permit. They have begun
discussion with FDOT as part of their intersection studies to remove this turn lane. The
removal of this turn lane will create a great opportunity to not only land the bridge in this
area, but also create a reception plaza to the bridge that would be cohesive with the
underline. She suggested combining their planned improvements to the 70th Street
intersection with landing the bridge in this position would be her preferred choice for the
most cohesive project.
• Finally, we discussed their understanding of what FDOT is doing as part of the underline project
as follows:
o FDOT is currently studying 24 intersections along the Underline project in order to identify
improvements that would be required to meet the intent and criteria of the Underline.
o At the particular intersection at SW 701h Street, she mentioned FDOT is evaluating a major
overhaul including possible elimination of the southbound right -turn late (as previously
mentioned) and major bike/ped upgrades.
o FDOT also has pedestrian counters installed there which can assist in our current study.
• Next Steps:
o Evaluate suggested modifications to Alternative C using the NE corner of the intersection
(with elimination of the southbound right -turn).
o Contact FDOT staff about ongoing studies and pedestrian counts.
o Meet with FDOT staff in the coming week.
Following our meeting with MDC-DTPW, the team went on to a coordination meeting with FDOT District
6 permit office on September 25, 2019. We met with several staff representing the Permits Office and
the Design Office. Based upon our conversations, there were several planned projects along the corridor
that we would need to coordination with including:
• Lighting Project 440179-1(letting date of 2022)
• RRR Project 443916-1(letting date of 2024)
With respect to permitting, there were no fatal flaws identified by staff. The main points regarding design
were horizontal clearance of the towers and vertical clearance of bridge crossing which will have to meet
FDOT standards, as well as the coordination with ongoing projects. In addition, they mentioned that the
bridge, once constructed, will require ongoing bridge inspection every 24 months.
We requested information from their staff regarding the ongoing pedestrian studies, related to the
Underlines, that MDC-DTPW mentioned to us in our coordination meeting with them. The staff present
were not familiar with any planned project, but suggested we coordinate with the Planning office led by
Ken Jeffries.
On October 15, 2019, we contacted Ken Jeffries of the Planning Office regarding the intersection
improvements and pedestrian studies referenced by MDC-DTPW as part of the underline. The Planning
Office provided us with documents related to the SR 5/US 1/Dixie Hwy from SR 94/SW 88 St/Kendall Dr
to SR 9/1-95 Corridor Planning Study (link below).

This study included the impact expected as a result of the underline, but unfortunately did not include the
pedestrian counts and data we anticipated.
In February of 2020, the City Manager had a meeting with MDC-DTPW staff and Project Managers for the
Underline including Irene Hegedus with whom the Design Team previously met. The discussion centered
around the proposed concepts. As a result of that the Underline Manager's review of the concepts, the
preferred alternative that best integrated with the plans of the Underline was Alternative B.
4. PEDESTRIAN COUNT SURVEY AND ANALYSIS
The Project Team conducted a field visit or survey to record level of pedestrian/bicyclist activity as well as
observe pedestrian/bicyclist behavior and movement patterns at the following locations.
• SW 70th Street and South Dixie Highway (US-1)
• SW 71st Street and South Dixie Highway (US-1)
The purpose of this survey and collecting pedestrian counts was to inform the selection of the most
beneficial location for pedestrian bridge. The graphic in Figure 1 shows pedestrian origins and destinations
with one quarter mile of the South Miami Metrorail Station.
Figure 1: Pedestrian Origins and Destinations within''/< mile of South Miami Station
46 of 270
Pedestrian counts and observations were conducted a on typical weekday, Wednesday (11/20/19) from
7:30 am to 6:00 pm into 15-minute intervals. Pedestrian count data is included in Appendix C forthe entire
day. Below is a brief summary of count data and field observations for daily, morning and evening
commute as well as midday time periods.
• Morning commute (7:30 am to 10:30 am)
• Midday (11:30 am to 1:30 pm)
• Evening commute (3:30 am to 6:00 pm)
Overall, pedestrian traffic crossing South Dixie Highway (US-1) during the 9 Y2 hour period was 347
pedestrians. Approximately 18% (or 62) pedestrians crossed midblock including some of them walked
diagonally across the SW 70th Street and South Dixie Highway (US-1) intersection during this time period.
Further, approximately 41% (or 162) pedestrians that crossed South Dixie Highway (US-1) also crossed SW
58th Avenue at South Dixie Highway (US-1). (see Figure 2)
Figure 2: Pedestrian Counts at SW 71" Street and South Dixie Highway (US-1), Daily
It was observed that South Dixie Highway (US-1) crossings generally increased with Metrorail arrivals and
departures. In addition, during the 9 Y2 hour observation period there were only 11 bicyclists recorded
crossing South Dixie Highway (US-1) with the highest frequency occurring during the evening commute.
During the morning commute time period from 7:30 am to 10:30 am, 107pedestrians crossed South Dixie
Highway (US-1). Approximately 38% of the pedestrian crossings occurred midblock or outside of the
47 of 270
designated crosswalk, which was significantly higher than at any other time of day. During the same time
period, there was only one recorded midblock crossing at South Dixie Highway (US-1) and SW 71" Street.
Pedestrian activity at this time was primarily generated by the South Miami Station.
During the midday from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, the total pedestrian count at SW 71" Street and South Dixie
Highway (US-1) was 66 pedestrians, which was noticeably less compared to morning and evening
commutes. Only three pedestrian crossings occurred midblock. In addition, during this 2-hour time period
only three pedestrians were recorded crossing midblock at South Dixie Highway (US-1) and SW 71" Street.
At this time, pedestrian activity was generated by both the South Miami Station and the Shops at Sunset
Place with 45% of pedestrians crossing South Dixie Highway (US-1) also crossing SW 581h Avenue.
During the evening commute time period (3:30 pm to 6:30 pm), pedestrian activity increased to their
highest levels, with 174 pedestrians crossing South Dixie Highway (US-1) with in the 2 %-hour window and
less than 10% occurring away from the designated crosswalks. There was only one pedestrian recorded
crossing midblock at South Dixie Highway (US-1) and SW 71" Street and over 50% of all crossing were
generated by the South Miami Station.
Table 1 below provides a summary to pedestrians counts.

In addition, during the field visit, it was noted that given the long traffic signal cycle length combined with
snort pedestrian walk time leads pedestrians to look for gaps to cross the South Dixie Highway (US-1)
outside the allocated walk time with on -coming traffic. Further, the broken fence around the South Miami
Station encourages pedestriansto cross midblock as it provides the most direct path and shortest crossing
distance across South Dixie Highway (US-1).
Conclusion
Following major conclusions can be derived from the field visit and pedestrian count data.
• South Miami Station and land uses immediately east of South Dixie Highway (US-1) are key
pedestrian activity generators in the study area.
• Pedestrian activity is higher during morning and evening commute time periods, 7:30 am to 10:30
am and 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm respectively compared to the rest of day.
• Approximately 18% (or 62) of the pedestrians cross South Dixie Highway (US-1) midblock away
from South Dixie Highway (US-1) and SW 701h Street intersection as well as diagonally to finding
the shortest and most direct path as well as overcome short pedestrian walk time combined with
long traffic signal cycle length.
• A small number of pedestrians cross South Dixie Highway (US-1) at SW 701h Street where no
crosswalk exists.
48 of 270
Based on observations and pedestrian count data gathered during this field visit, it appears that a
pedestrian bridge that captures pedestrian traffic between SW 70th Street and SW 71" Street would
capture a significant amount of pedestrian traffic, improve pedestrian safety, and also improve traffic flow
once the at -grade pedestrian crosswalk traffic is remove from the intersection.
5. CRASH DATA ANALYSIS, YEAR 2014-2019
The project team conducted a high level crash analysis using Signal Four Analytics's 2014-2019 crash data.
The crash data analysis was focused on identifying bicycle and pedestrian crash locations as well as
comparing average and actual crash rates for various segments. Table 2 presents a crash data summary.
During the five-year period from 2014 to 2019, a total of 181 crashes occurred in the study area and
included one bicycle crash and three crashes involving pedestrians. These crashes accounted for two
percent of all crashes, respectively. The bicycle crash occurred in 2016 on the segment of US 1 between
the intersections of SW 71" Street and SW 70th Streetjust south of SW 701h Street. The bicyclist was injured
after being struck by a motor vehicle. The pedestrian crashes occurred in 2016, 2017 and 2018 and
included injuries. Two of the three pedestrian crashes occurred at the intersection of USl and SW 70th
Street. The third pedestrian crash occurred on US 1, just north of SW 701h Street.

Figure 3 shows the general location of all of the bicycle and pedestrian crashes. Per the spatial distribution
of the bicycle and pedestrian crashes, these crashes tend to be concentrated at or within the proximity of
the intersection of US 1 and SW 7011 Street. Bicycle and pedestrian activity is significant at this location
given the land uses and transit connectivity with South Miami Metrorail Station located just west of US 1.

As shown in the Figure 4, the actual crash rate' for the time period studied at the intersection of US 1
and SW 70`h Street is higher than the average crash rate'. Additionally, the actual crash rate for the
segment from SW 71`t Street to SW 701h Street is slightly less than the average crash rate. This analysis
indicates a need for improvements to enhance the safety for all users; particularly for bicyclists and
pedestrians near the intersection of US-1 and SW 701h Street. It should be noted that the average
crash rate indicates crashes for similar type of facilities with similar land use characteristics.
Based upon the findings of the crash study and Pedestrian survey it is evident that a sufficient case
exists for the installation of a pedestrian bridge to provide for a safe crossing of the heavily
trafficked USI Corridor to provide a critical link between mass transit and the City of South Miami
downtown area.
'The frequency of crashes relative to the exposure of traffic on a roadway segment or intersection is called its
crash rate. Actual crash rate is defined as the total number of crashes per million vehicle miles in any given year.
' A critical crash rate or threshold value is calculated for each site and compared to the observed or actual crash
rate. Sites with an observed or actual crash rate greater than their critical crash rate are flagged for further
investigation.

Alternative B
$5,414,770
Alternative C
$6,848,797
Alternative C1
$5,704,923
Table 3: Estimate of Probable Cost for Alternatives
7. DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following summarizes the key issues investigated as part of this feasibility study.
Right of Way
The three alternative sites reviewed have the common restriction of a confined tower footprint on the
northwestern landing of the proposed overpass due to the restricted ROW available on the west side of US-
1. However, Alternative A does not fit within the open space of the ROW and encroaches into the Metrorail
envelope.
Alternatives B and C do not require R-O-W acquisition, assuming that FDOT and MDC-DTPW will grant
easements for the construction of the proposed facility at no cost to City of South Miami.
Alternative A presents a limited available footprint for the proposed southeastern landing and the proposed
tower will obstruct the existing historic building located at the north-east corner of the intersection. Further,
the major constraints with the northwestern tower and cost of mitigating that conflict make this alternative
unfeasible.
Alternative B presents a limited available footprint for the proposed southeast landing; however,
preliminary plan view layouts confirm that a functioning facility is feasible within the limited available right -
of -,Nay by converting 71" Street to a one-way and coordinating with Underline on the northwest landing.
On a of the main disadvantages with this alternative is that the southeast tower will block the view of the
business properties immediately north which could negatively impact these businesses. Further, this
alternative requires the reconfiguration of SW 71" St to one 12' lane at the intersection with US-1. This
reconfiguration may cause possible impacts to the adjacent business, by limiting their access and available
pa -king. However, the main advantage is that due to the low traffic experienced on this side street, the
implementation of landing plaza may actually be a boon to the adjacent business at the expense of a minor
traffic impact.
Alternative C requires no additional right-of-way, but will require a reconfiguration of the 58`h Avenue
intersection to eliminate one lane of the existing three lanes of vehicular traffic. This alternative allows for
a more functional and favorable location to reduce congestion at the intersection of US-1 and SW 71" St
and will preclude any adverse impact to the adjacent businesses.
52 of 270
Alternative C1 will require reconfiguration of the south -westbound leg of the 581h Avenue intersection as
well as acquisition or agreement with the Sunset Place Property owner.
Existing Utilities
A Preliminary review of available utility information for the areas under study was conducted. The
conclusion of the study is that for alternatives B and C no major relocations will be required. Under all
alternatives, the lighting circuits for the street lights along US1 will required relocation or undergrounding
for installation of the overpass, however this is a minor coordination issue.
On Alternative B, drainage structures and water valves will require adjustment or relocation and have been
accounted for in the estimate. One light pole along US1 will require relocation.
For Alternative C, similarly drainage structures, existing manholes, and water valves will require adjustment.
An underground power duct bank is near the proposed southeastern tower, therefore further coordination
with FPL will be required to determine the feasibility of relocation.
For Alternatives C and C1, overpass vertical clearance will have to go above the FDOT standard to clear the
existing traffic signals to not inhibit visibility. Relocation of the signals will be required in either alternative.
In summary, there are no critical utility issues that may cause a fatal flaw in any of the planned alternatives.
Environmental Concerns
A preliminary review of regulatory data bases was conducted. No apparent environmental concerns were
found for Alternative A; however, due to historic land uses a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is
recommended to verify that no environmental concerns are present.
In the case of Alternatives B & C, documented contamination has been recorded within the Mario's Dry
Cleaners Site, which is located along SW 7111 Street between US1 and SW 58`h Avenue. Upon investigation,
it is documented that MDC-DERM has been performing groundwater monitoring of this site, and their
published findings show no contamination beyond the site limits. Based on this preliminary information, it
is recommended to perform a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment to verify that environmental concerns
are not present.
Recommendations
Based on this preliminary study, it is our opinion that Alternative B, C, and C1 are all feasible. However,
based primarily upon the findings of the pedestrian study, the consideration of project cost, and the critical
coordination with MDC-DTPW's Underline projects, it is our recommendation to move forward with
Alternative B as the preferred alternative.

entity requests that the City produce or disclose any of said purported confidential information or documents,
the City will advise the Respondent and afford the Respondent an opportunity to protect its assertion that said

2. 1 understand that a "public entity crime" as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (1)(g), Florida Statutesmeans
a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of
business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United

any public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States and involving

3. 1 understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (1) (b), Florida Statutes,
means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in
any federal or state trial court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after July

affiliate.

shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in management of an entity.
6. Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in relation to the entity
submitting this sworn statement. [Indicate which statement applies.]
Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any of its officers, directors, executives,
partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity,
nor any affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to
July 1, 1989.

was not in the public interest to place the entity submitting this sworn statement on the convicted vendor
list. [attach a copy of the final order.]

DRUG FREE WORKPLACE
PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE DESIGN SERVICES
RFQ #PW2020-24
Whenever two or more responses to a solicitation which are equal with respect to price, quality and service are
received by the State or by any political subdivisions for the procurement of commodities or contractual services,
a response to the solicitation received from a business that certifies that it has implemented a drug -free workplace
program will be given preference in the award process. Established procedures for processing tie responses to
solicitations will be followed if none of the tied vendors have a drug -free workplace program. In order to have a
drug -free workplace program, a business must:
1) Publish a statement notifying employees that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing,
possession, or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in the workplace and specifying the
actions that will be taken against employees for violations of such prohibition.
2) Inform employees about the dangers of drug abuse in the workplace, the business's policy of
maintaining a drug -free workplace, any available drug counseling, rehabilitation, and employee
assistance programs, and the penalties that may be imposed upon employees for drug abuse
violations.
3) Give each employee engaged in providing the commodities or contractual services that are under
Bid a copy of the statement specified in Subsection (1).
4) In the statement specified in Subsection (1), notify the employees, that, as a condition to their
working for the employer with regard to the matters that are the subject of the response to the
solicitation including those involving the procurement of commodities or contractual services
that are under Bid, the employee must abide by the terms of the statement and must notify the
employer of any conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any violation of Chapter
893 or of any controlled substance law of the United States or any state, for a violation occurring
in the workplace no later than five (5) days after such conviction.
5) Impose a sanction on, or require the satisfactory participation in a drug abuse assistance or
rehabilitation program, if such is available in the employee's community, by any employee who is
so convicted.
6) Make a good faith effort to continue to maintain a drug -free workplace through implementation
of this section.
As the person authorized to sign this statement, and under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have read the
foregoing statement and that the facts stated in it are true and that this firm is in full compliance with the above
requirements.

1. PROJECT BACKGROUND
T.Y. Lin International (TYLI), as a consultant to the Miami Dade Department of Transportation and Public
Works (DTPW), previously the Miami -Dade Transit agency (MDT), completed a Site Alternative Study for
the agency in May of 2008. The project was initiated by the Agency in conjunction with the University of
Miami Pedestrian Overpass which was complete in recent years. The South Miami Overpass did not move
forward as a project at that time. It is our understanding that the City of South Miami (CITY) would like to
revisit the concept of the pedestrian overpass linking the DTPW South Miami Metrorail station to the
South Miami Downtown area. This proposed scope of work to be covered under this Site Feasibility Study
is for the placement of a pedestrian overpass using current data. A similar methodology will be used as
in the previous study, however due to the age of the previous study, all new investigations and
coordination with stakeholders, utilities, and affected agencies will need to be undertaken, as well as new
concept plans and cost estimates to accommodate the current condition and CITY's vision.
Per a meeting held at the City Manager's Office on April 22, 2019, the decision was made to move forward
with analyzing three design alternative locations:
• Alternative A: Crossing US1 at SW 72"d Street (Sunset Dr.) and landing on the southeastern right-
of-way.
• Alternative B: Crossing US1 at SW 71st Street and landing within the southeastern right-of-way
and converting SW 71st Street to a one-way access.
• Alternative C: Crossing US1 at SW 70th Street and landing within the southeast side of the right-
of-way. (a variation of alternative C with a landing at the northeastern corner of 701h Street will
be reviewed as well)
Following completion of the Feasibility study and acceptance of the preferred location option. TYLI will
develop 15% design documents for the preferred alternative.
2. DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVES
Alternative A is located at the intersection of US-1 and Sunset Dr. (SW 72"d St). The west landing of the
proposed overpass would be located within MDT's R-O-W adjacent to the south end of the South Miami
Metrorail Station. The east landing would be located within FDOT R-O-W, within the existing swale area.
Unfortunately, although this alternative would like serve the highest concentration of users, the existing
available width are not sufficient to construct the required towers. The footprint of the northwestern
tower actually encroaches 1'-6" into the Metrorail guideway. Transit requires a 5' min. buffer from the
drip -line. So, in reality this alternative would be encroaching into their envelope by 6'-6". The
southeastern tower technically fits in the FDOT right-of-way, and meets the 4' horizontal clearance
required from the face of curb. However, it is only 6' from the existing building face and will create a very
tight pedestrian/multi-use path that is not ideal. In addition, the proposed tower will obstruct the existing
historic building located at the north-east corner of the intersection. Earlier concepts had the bridge
elevated over this Metrorail as a "third -level" bridge and landing north of the station. Although this would
solve the issue of the northwestern landing, the cost will be excessive and couple with the space issues
141 of 270
on the southeastern tower, would make this concept the least desirable. As such, Alternative A has been
deemed unfeasible at this time.

CITY OF SOUTH N1IAM1- U.S.I PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE ALT. A
Alternative B is located at the intersection of US-1 and SW 71't St. The northwestern landing of the proposed
overpass would be located within Transit's Metrorail right-of-way adjacent to the north end of the South
Miami Metrorail Station. The southeastern landing would be located with SW 71" ST right-of-way, requiring
that the existing street be modified to only one east -bound 12' lane at the intersection with US-1, and
converted to a one-way street to accommodate the bridge landing plaza. The SW 711 Street right-of-way is
under the jurisdiction of the City of South Miami, so this modification would have to be approved by the
City Commission, and a traffic study would have to completed and approved by MDC-DTPW traffic
operations prior to implementation.
The northwestern tower fits within the two horizontal constraints. It meets the 4' horizontal setback from
the face of curb required by FDOT and meets the 5' separation from the Metrorail dripline. The remaining
coordination challenge is with the Underline project that will be rolled out by Transit in the coming years.
Please refer to the Agency coordination section for a complete discussion on this topic.
Based upon the geometrical and coordination aspects of this location, it will be feasible to proceed with this
Alternative.

Alternative C is located at the intersection of US-1 and SW 58" Avenue. The northwestern landing of the
proposed overpass would be located within MDT's right-of-way adjacent to the north end of the South
Miami Metrorail Station. The southeastern landing would be located within the existing right-of-way and
would require elimination of one lane to accommodate the landing depending on the final tower and
landing plaza arrangement. The SW 581h Street right-of-way is under the jurisdiction of the City of South
Miami, so this modification would have to be approved by the City Commission, and a traffic study would
have to completed and approved by MDC-DTPW traffic operations prior to implementation.
The northwestern tower fits within the two horizontal constraints. It meets the 4' horizontal setback from
the face of curb required by FDOT and meets the 5' separation from the Metrorail dripline. The remaining
coordination challenge is with the Underline project that will be rolled out by Transit in the coming years.
Please refer to the Agency coordination section for a complete discussion on this topic.
On Alternative C1, the northwestern landing is moved to the east side of the 581h Avenue intersection, and
the southeaster landing is moved to the FOOT right-of-way. This alternative has two challenges. The first
is it would require elimination of the southbound right -turn lane that is on MDC-DTPW right-of-way, but
FDOT built the turn lane under permit. The feasibility of it's removal has been confirmed by the County,
however further coordination will be required with FDOT to finalize. The southeastern tower and plaza
would encroach onto the Sunset Place property and would require acquisition or agreement with the
Property Owner. Based upon the geometrical and coordination aspects of this location, it will be feasible
to proceed with Alternative C, however Alternative C1 would require further coordination with the
stakeholders.

3. AGENCY COORDINATION
The two major agencies that we will be required to coordinate with are the right-of-way owners that are
affected by the potential pedestrian bridge sites and they include:
• Miami -Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works (MDC-DTPW) Transit Division
(Metrorail Property where northern tower will land)
• FDOT District 6 (US1 Right-of-way for aerial crossing)
Coordination with MDC-DTPW was initiated on September 6, 2019. The City's consultant team met with
Irene Hegedus, Chief of Transportation Enhancements and the person leading the effort on the Underline
Project along the DTPW Metrorail corridor. We planned to meet with Javier Bustamante, Chief of Right of
Way, Utilities & Joint Development Division, but he could not attend the meeting last minute. The intent of
the meeting was as follows:
• Initiate coordination of our project with the Underline Project. The Underline project is currently
in procurement for a design firm and will be in direct conflict with our project, so commencing
coordination at this early stage would yield a more feasible and ultimately successful project for
the City of South Miami.
o Determine criteria for developing the best alternatives that will suit the City's needs and
also be a cohesive part of the Underline.
o Determine criteria for the design and geometrical constraints at our two alternative sites.
o Receive initial feedback from the DTPW staff on the proposed alternative locations in
terms of feasibility, constraints, "fatal flaws", and review/approval process going forward
for use of their property.
• The meeting began with a discussion of the project history going back to the late 90's and through
today, as well as the development of the previous studies commissioned by MDT and FDOT of the
Sunset Station bridge.
• We presented our initial alternatives (B and C, see attached) to Irene. We discussed the
Alternative A at Sunset Drive briefly and why it does not work.
• We first reviewed alternative B (site located at SW 715t Street in front of Akashi)
o Irene's first comment was that the Underline conceptual plan in the area of the proposed
north tower in this concept is to develop a new 14' wide bicycle trail. We currently have
6'-6" between the tower and the Metrorail drip -line. We discussed the possibility of
running the trail under the guideway in order to avoid our tower. Based on the survey it
seems there is enough room between the tower and security wall at the station to
accommodate, exact dimension will be verified.
o Second comment was regarding access. Pedestrian would have to come from the existing
east -west walkway on the east side of the station and have to walk backwards to the
bridge and cross the bicycle trail. We discussed this item and determined that, while not
ideal, it was feasible.
• We then reviewed alternative C (site located at SW 70th Street intersection by Sunset place garage)
o We discussed at length the existing pinch point at this location caused by the Fire Station
parking lot that is currently using the Metrorail property. Irene mentioned that as part of
the underline, they are determining if the lease with the Fire Station can be
terminated/modified in order to provide room for their project. This is a preliminary idea
they have, so at this time we do not know if this will occur. In order for the bridge to land
145 of 270
here and the Underline to be accommodated, the relocation of the Fire Station parking
lot would have to occur.
o We then turned the conversation to landing the bridge on the NE corner of SW 70"
Street. Irene mentioned, that the existing FDOT south -bound right -turn lane is in fact in
their property and that FDOT constructed that lane through permit. They have begun
discussion with FDOT as part of their intersection studies to remove this turn lane. The
removal of this turn lane will create a great opportunity to not only land the bridge in this
area, but also create a reception plaza to the bridge that would be cohesive with the
underline. She suggested combining their planned improvements to the 701h Street
intersection with landing the bridge in this position would be her preferred choice for the
most cohesive project.
• Finally, we discussed their understanding of what FDOT is doing as part of the underline project
as follows:
o FDOT is currently studying 24 intersections along the Underline project in order to identify
improvements that would be required to meet the intent and criteria of the Underline.
o At the particular intersection at SW 70th Street, she mentioned FDOT is evaluating a major
overhaul including possible elimination of the southbound right -turn late (as previously
mentioned) and major bike/ped upgrades.
o FDOT also has pedestrian counters installed there which can assist in our current study.
• Next Steps:
o Evaluate suggested modifications to Alternative C using the NE corner of the intersection
(with elimination of the southbound right -turn).
o Contact FDOT staff about ongoing studies and pedestrian counts.
o Meet with FDOT staff in the coming week.
Following our meeting with MDC-DTPW, the team went on to a coordination meeting with FDOT District
6 permit office on September 25, 2019. We met with several staff representing the Permits Office and
the Design Office. Based upon our conversations, there were several planned projects along the corridor
that we would need to coordination with including:
• Lighting Project 440179-1(letting date of 2022)
• RRR Project 443916-1(letting date of 2024)
With respect to permitting, there were no fatal flaws identified by staff. The main points regarding design
were horizontal clearance of the towers and vertical clearance of bridge crossing which will have to meet
FDOT standards, as well as the coordination with ongoing projects. In addition, they mentioned that the
bridge, once constructed, will require ongoing bridge inspection every 24 months.
We requested information from their staff regarding the ongoing pedestrian studies, related to the
Underlines, that MDC-DTPW mentioned to us in our coordination meeting with them. The staff present
were not familiar with any planned project, but suggested we coordinate with the Planning office led by
Ken Jeffries.
On October 15, 2019, we contacted Ken Jeffries of the Planning Office regarding the intersection
improvements and pedestrian studies referenced by MDC-DTPW as part of the underline. The Planning
Office provided us with documents related to the SR 5/US 1/Dixie Hwy from SR 94/SW 88 St/Kendall Dr
to SR 9/1-95 Corridor Planning Study (link below).

This study included the impact expected as a result of the underline, but unfortunately did not include the
pedestrian counts and data we anticipated.
In February of 2020, the City Manager had a meeting with MDC-DTPW staff and Project Managers for the
Underline including Irene Hegedus with whom the Design Team previously met. The discussion centered
around the proposed concepts. As a result of that the Underline Manager's review of the concepts, the
preferred alternative that best integrated with the plans of the Underline was Alternative B.
4. PEDESTRIAN COUNT SURVEY AND ANALYSIS
The Project Team conducted a field visit or survey to record level of pedestrian/bicyclist activity as well as
observe pedestrian/bicyclist behavior and movement patterns at the following locations.
• SW 70th Street and South Dixie Highway (US-1)
• SW 71st Street and South Dixie Highway (US-1)
The purpose of this survey and collecting pedestrian counts was to inform the selection of the most
beneficial location for pedestrian bridge. The graphic in Figure 1 shows pedestrian origins and destinations
with one quarter mile of the South Miami Metrorail Station.
Figure 1: Pedestrian Origins and Destinations within mile of South Miami Station
147 of 270
Pedestrian counts and observations were conducted a on typical weekday, Wednesday (11/20/19) from
7:30 am to 6:00 pm into 15-minute intervals. Pedestrian count data is included in Appendix C forthe entire
day. Below is a brief summary of count data and field observations for daily, morning and evening
commute as well as midday time periods.
• Morning commute (7:30 am to 10:30 am)
• Midday (11:30 am to 1:30 pm)
• Evening commute (3:30 am to 6:00 pm)
Overall, pedestrian traffic crossing South Dixie Highway (US-1) during the 9 % hour period was 347
pedestrians. Approximately 18% (or 62) pedestrians crossed midblock including some of them walked
diagonally across the SW 70th Street and South Dixie Highway (US-1) intersection during this time period.
Further, approximately 41% (or 162) pedestrians that crossed South Dixie Highway (US-1) also crossed SW
58th Avenue at South Dixie Highway (US-1). (see Figure 2)
Figure 2: Pedestrian Counts at SW 71" Street and South Dixie Highway (US-1), Daily
It was observed that South Dixie Highway (US-1) crossings generally increased with Metrorail arrivals and
departures. In addition, during the 9 % hour observation period there were only it bicyclists recorded
crossing South Dixie Highway (US-1) with the highest frequency occurring during the evening commute.
During the morning commute time period from 7:30 am to 10:30 am,107pedestrians crossed South Dixie
Highway (US-1). Approximately 38% of the pedestrian crossings occurred midblock or outside of the
148 of 270
designated crosswalk, which was significantly higher than at any other time of day. During the same time
period, there was only one recorded midblock crossing at South Dixie Highway (US-1) and SW 71s' Street.
Pedestrian activity at this time was primarily generated by the South Miami Station.
During the midday from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, the total pedestrian count at SW 715t Street and South Dixie
Highway (US-1) was 66 pedestrians, which was noticeably less compared to morning and evening
commutes. Only three pedestrian crossings occurred midblock. In addition, during this 2-hour time period
only three pedestrians were recorded crossing midblock at South Dixie Highway (US-1) and SW 71St Street.
At this time, pedestrian activity was generated by both the South Miami Station and the Shops at Sunset
Place with 45% of pedestrians crossing South Dixie Highway (US-1) also crossing SW 581h Avenue.
During the evening commute time period (3:30 pm to 6:30 pm), pedestrian activity increased to their
highest levels, with 174 pedestrians crossing South Dixie Highway (US-1) with in the 2 %-hour window and
less than 10% occurring away from the designated crosswalks. There was only one pedestrian recorded
crossing midblock at South Dixie Highway (US-1) and SW 7151 Street and over 50% of all crossing were
generated by the South Miami Station.

In addition, during the field visit, it was noted that given the long traffic signal cycle length combined with
short pedestrian walk time leads pedestrians to look for gaps to cross the South Dixie Highway (US-1)
outside the allocated walk time with on -coming traffic. Further, the broken fence around the South Miami
Station encourages pedestrians to cross midblock as it provides the most direct path and shortest crossing
distance across South Dixie Highway (US-1).
Conclusion
Following major conclusions can be derived from the field visit and pedestrian count data.
• South Miami Station and land uses immediately east of South Dixie Highway (US-1) are key
pedestrian activity generators in the study area.
Pedestrian activity is higher during morning and evening commute time periods, 7:30 am to 10:30
am and 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm respectively compared to the rest of day.
Approximately 18% (or 62) of the pedestrians cross South Dixie Highway (US-1) midblock away
from South Dixie Highway (US-1) and SW 701h Street intersection as well as diagonally to finding
the shortest and most direct path as well as overcome short pedestrian walk time combined with
long traffic signal cycle length.
• A small number of pedestrians cross South Dixie Highway (US-1) at SW 70th Street where no
crosswalk exists.
149 of 270
Based on observations and pedestrian count data gathered during this field visit, it appears that a
pedestrian bridge that captures pedestrian traffic between SW 70`h Street and SW 71" Street would
capture a significant amount of pedestrian traffic, improve pedestrian safety, and also improve traffic flow
once the at -grade pedestrian crosswalk traffic is remove from the intersection.
S. CRASH DATA ANALYSIS, YEAR 2014-2019
The project team conducted a high level crash analysis using Signal Four Analytics's 2014-2019 crash data.
The crash data analysis was focused on identifying bicycle and pedestrian crash locations as well as
comparing average and actual crash rates for various segments. Table 2 presents a crash data summary.
During the five-year period from 2014 to 2019, a total of 181 crashes occurred in the study area and
included one bicycle crash and three crashes involving pedestrians. These crashes accounted for two
percent of all crashes, respectively. The bicycle crash occurred in 2016 on the segment of US 1 between
t -ie intersections of SW 71" Street and SW 70th Streetjust south of SW 701h Street. The bicyclist was injured
after being struck by a motor vehicle. The pedestrian crashes occurred in 2016, 2017 and 2018 and
included injuries. Two of the three pedestrian crashes occurred at the intersection of U51 and SW 701h
Street. The third pedestrian crash occurred on US 1, just north of SW 70`h Street.

Figure 3 shows the general location of all of the bicycle and pedestrian crashes. Per the spatial distribution
of the bicycle and pedestrian crashes, these crashes tend to be concentrated at or within the proximity of
the intersection of US 1 and SW 70th Street. Bicycle and pedestrian activity is significant at this location
given the land uses and transit connectivity with South Miami Metrorail Station located just west of US 1.

As shown in the Figure 4, the actual crash rate' for the time period studied at the intersection of US 1
and SW 701h Street is higher than the average crash rate 2. Additionally, the actual crash rate for the
segment from SW 711 Street to SW 701h Street is slightly less than the average crash rate. This analysis
indicates a need for improvements to enhance the safety for all users; particularly for bicyclists and
pedestrians near the intersection of US-1 and SW 701h Street. It should be noted that the average
crash rate indicates crashes for similar type of facilities with similar land use characteristics.
Based upon the findings of the crash study and pedestrian survey, it is evident that a sufficient case
exists for the installation of a pedestrian bridge to provide for a safe crossing of the heavily
trafficked USI Corridor to provide a critical link between mass transit and the City of South Miami
downtown area.
' The frequency of crashes relative to the exposure of traffic on a roadway segment or intersection is called its
crash rate. Actual crash rate is defined as the total number of crashes per million vehicle miles in any given year.
A critical crash rate or threshold value is calculated for each site and compared to the observed or actual crash
rate. Sites with an observed or actual crash rate greater than their critical crash rate are flagged for further
investigation.

7. DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following summarizes the key issues investigated as part of this feasibility study.
Right of Way
The three alternative sites reviewed have the common restriction of a confined tower footprint on the
northwestern landing of the proposed overpass due to the restricted ROW available on the west side of US-
1. However, Alternative A does not fit within the open space of the ROW and encroaches into the Metrorail
envelope.
Alternatives B and C do not require R-O-W acquisition, assuming that FDOT and MDC-DTPW will grant
easements for the construction of the proposed facility at no cost to City of South Miami.
Alternative A presents a limited available footprint for the proposed southeastern landing and the proposed
tower will obstruct the existing historic building located at the north-east corner of the intersection. Further,
the major constraints with the northwestern tower and cost of mitigating that conflict make this alternative
unfeasible.
Alternative B presents a limited available footprint for the proposed southeast landing; however,
preliminary plan view layouts confirm that a functioning facility is feasible within the limited available right-
of-way by converting 71St Street to a one-way and coordinating with Underline on the northwest landing.
One of the main disadvantages with this alternative is that the southeast tower will block the view of the
business properties immediately north which could negatively impact these businesses. Further, this
alternative requires the reconfiguration of SW 71' St to one 12' lane at the intersection with US-1. This
reconfiguration may cause possible impacts to the adjacent business, by limiting their access and available
parking. However, the main advantage is that due to the low traffic experienced on this side street, the
implementation of landing plaza may actually be a boon to the adjacent business at the expense of a minor
traffic impact.
Alternative C requires no additional right-of-way, but will require a reconfiguration of the 58th Avenue
intersection to eliminate one lane of the existing three lanes of vehicular traffic. This alternative allows for
a more functional and favorable location to reduce congestion at the intersection of US-1 and SW 715E St
and will preclude any adverse impact to the adjacent businesses.

Alternative C1 will require reconfiguration of the south -westbound leg of the 581h Avenue intersection as
well as acquisition or agreement with the Sunset Place Property owner.
Existing Utilities
P. Preliminary review of available utility information for the areas under study was conducted. The
conclusion of the study is that for alternatives B and C no major relocations will be required. Under all
alternatives, the lighting circuits for the street lights along US1 will required relocation or undergrounding
for installation of the overpass, however this is a minor coordination issue.
On Alternative B, drainage structures and water valves will require adjustment or relocation and have been
accounted for in the estimate. One light pole along US3 will require relocation.
For Alternative C, similarly drainage structures, existing manholes, and water valves will require adjustment.
An underground power duct bank is near the proposed southeastern tower, therefore further coordination
with FPL will be required to determine the feasibility of relocation.
For Alternatives C and C1, overpass vertical clearance will have to go above the FDOT standard to clear the
existing traffic signals to not inhibit visibility. Relocation of the signals will be required in either alternative.
I n summary, there are no critical utility issues that may cause a fatal flaw in any of the planned alternatives.
Environmental Concerns
A preliminary review of regulatory data bases was conducted. No apparent environmental concerns were
found for Alternative A; however, due to historic land uses a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is
recommended to verify that no environmental concerns are present.
In the case of Alternatives B & C, documented contamination has been recorded within the Mario's Dry
Cleaners Site, which is located along SW 711 Street between US1 and SW 58`h Avenue. Upon investigation,
it is documented that MDC-DERM has been performing groundwater monitoring of this site, and their
published findings show no contamination beyond the site limits. Based on this preliminary information, it
is recommended to perform a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment to verify that environmental concerns
are not present.
Recommendations
Based on this preliminary study, it is our opinion that Alternative B, C, and C1 are all feasible. However,
based primarily upon the findings of the pedestrian study, the consideration of project cost, and the critical
coordination with MDC-DTPW's Underline projects, it is our recommendation to move forward with
Alternative B as the preferred alternative.
