Public Works & S ineering Department
Date: September 1 2009 Agenda Item No.:
Subject: Approval of Professional Service Work Order for preparation and evaluation of
Alternate FPL Transmission Line Corridor Report Application with the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection.
Request: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, PROVIDING THE CITY MANAGER TO USE THE
NECESSARY AUTHORITY TO USE UP TO $86,000.00 FROM THE
UNDESIGNATED CONTINGENCY CASH RESERVE FUND TO ISSUE A
WORK ORDER TO KIMLEY -HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC. (KHA) FOR
ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES FOR THE PREPARATION AND
EVALUATION OF AN ALTERNATE FPL TRANSMISSION LINE CORRIDOR

BE CHARGED TO THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
ACCOUNT NUMBER 001 - 1790 - 519 -3100; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
Request: Authorizing the City Manager to approve professional service work order for
engineering consulting services for the preparation and evaluation of an alternate
FPL transmission line corridor study for application with FDEP in accordance with
F.S. 403.5271.
Reason/Need: The residents of the City of South Miami and City Commission have
objected to the "East Route" proposed by FPL for the installation of an
overhead transmission line that would run along the U.S. 1 corridor.
Back in December 2008, at the request of the City Manager, the Public
Works- Engineering Department developed three (3) alternate FPL
transmission line corridor routes that would lessen the impact on health,
safety and quality of life for densely populated areas and basic elements
encompassing a working community such as hospitals, schools,
businesses, infrastructure improvements, etc.
The (3) three alternate transmission line corridor routes developed were
as follows:
Alternate no. 1: begins at FPL's Davis substation located at 13701 SW
127th Ave, and runs east adjacent to S.R. 874, then northeast along S.R.
874 to S.R. 826, then north along S.R. 826 to S.R. 836, then east along
S.R. 836 to the downtown Miami Substation
Alternate No. 2: Begins near U.S. 1 and S.W. 100th Street, and then runs
north on S.R. 826, then east on S.W. 56th Street and then north on S.W.
72nd Street
Alternate No. 3: Begins near U.S. 1 and S.W. 100th Street, then north on
S.R. 826, then northeast along C.S.X. R.R. and then north on S.W. 72nd
Street.
All three (3) proposed alternate transmission line corridor routes were
then presented to FPL for their review and consideration, after which FFL
rendered the alternate routes as "not practical ".
Since then, on June 30th, 2009, FPL filed a Site Certification Application
with FDEP for a new 230 KV overhead transmission in accordance with
Florida Statutes (F.S.) Chapter 403. in which FPL shows the preferred
corridor routes along U.S. 1 from S.W. 131St Street to FPL's downtown
substation. The proposed FPL corridor route runs through the Village of
Pinecrest, City of South Miami and City of Coral Gables.
As a result, on August 24, 2009 a meeting was held with the Vice - Mayor,
City Manager, Planning Director, and Public Works- Engineering Director
where it was agreed to move forward with the following (see attached
meeting minutes):
City will file a notice of Proposed Alternate Corridor for a
Transmission Line with FDEP by October 8th, 2009 in accordance
with Chapter 403.5271, F.S.
The City's proposed alternate corridors will be Alternate No. 1 and
Alternate No. 4 as shown in the attached Exhibit "A ". Alternate
No.1 begins at FPL's Davis substation located at 13701 SW 127th
Ave, and runs east adjacent to S.R. 874, then northeast along
S.R. 874 to SR 826, then north along S.R. 826 to S.R. 836, then
east along S.R. 836 to the downtown Miami Substation. Alternate
No. 1 is consistent with what the City Commission approved via
Resolution No. 67 -09 -12876 on April 7th, 2009 (see attached).
New Alternate No. 4 discussed at the meeting is basically the
same U.S. 1 corridor route proposed by FPL, except constructed
underground within the City of South Miami limits from S.W. 80th
Street to S.W. 57th Ave.
Retain the services of Kimley -Horn and Associates. (city approved
engineering consultant) to evaluate the City's two (2) alternate
route corridors based on the qualitative and quantitative criteria as
established by FPL. The alternate corridor study would then be
filed with FDEP by October 8th, 2009 as part of the application
process to meet the proposed initial timeline schedule filed with
the State of Florida Division of Administrative Hearings (see
attached)
Cost: $86,000.00

Re: Proposed FPL Transmission Lines
Alternate Corridor Study
Dear Mr. Olivo:
Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc., (hereinafter referred to as "Consultant" or
"KHA ") is pleased to submit this letter agreement to The City of South Miami
(hereinafter referred to as "City" or the "Client ") for professional consulting
services relating to the project known as "Alternate Corridor Evaluation for
Proposed FPL Transmission Lines ". Except as specified below, the terms of this
agreement shall be in accordance with the "Professional Service Agreement —
General Engineering Services" (the "Agreement ") between the City of South
Miami and Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc., as approved by the City
Commission on March 17, 2009. Our project understanding, assumptions, scope
of services and fees follow.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
■
Suite 400
1691 Michigan Avenue
Miami Beach, Florida
33139 .
On June 30, 2009, FPL filed a Site Certification Application with FDEP for new
230 -kV overhead transmission lines as part of the proposed Turkey Point nuclear
expansion in accordance with Florida Statutes (F. S.) Chapter 403. One of the
corridors preferred by FPL for the proposed power lines, referred to as "East
Route ", would run along U.S. 1 from about SW 13155 Street to FPL's downtown
Miami Substation, which is located NE of where I -95 and Metrorail diverge. This
"East Route" crosses portions of the Cities of South Miami, Pinecrest, Coral
Gables and Miami. Most of these municipalities have expressed objections to the
"East Route" for different reasons. More detailed information about the "East
Route" proposed by FPL is available from the FPL website at the link below:
http:// www. fpl .com/environtnent/lines /tp.shtml

❑ MM — and Assoaates KlmieyHom , Inc. FPL Alternate Corridor Study, August 25, 2009, Page 2 of 10
It is our understanding that the City of South Miami objects to the "East Route"
proposed by FPL and wishes to file a notice of "Proposed Alternate Corridors for
a Transmission Line" for consideration of two (2) alternate corridors in
accordance with Chapter 403.5271, F.S. The two alternate corridors are as
follows:
1) Beginning at FPL's Davis Substation, located at 13701 SW 127th Avenue,
overhead transmission lines running east along an existing FPL easement
to S.R.874, then northeast along S.R.874 to S.R.826 (Palmetto
Expressway), then north along S.R.826 to S.R.836, then east along S.R.836
to the downtown Miami Substation located at 122 SW 3rd Street.
2) Essentially the same U.S.1 "East Route" proposed by FPL, except that the
system would be installed underground within the City of South Miami,
between SW 80th Street (Davis Road) and SW 57th Avenue (Red Road).
As part of this filing, the City is requesting that KHA prepare an alternate
corridor study in order to evaluate the two (2) alternate corridors described
above. It is our understanding that this study will be based on a specific set of
quantitative and qualitative criteria developed by FPL and included herein as
"Exhibit B ". This alternate corridor study would be filed with the FDEP as part
of the certification proceeding. .
KHA does not guarantee that the alternate corridors proposed by the City of
South Miami will be found to be feasible or acceptable by FDEP or FPL. During
the course of this study, if it is determined by the City or KHA that any portion(s)
of these corridors should change, KHA will submit a supplemental scope of
services and fee for the additional work associated with the revised alignment.
ASSUMPTIONS
1) The deadline for filing the notice of proposed alternate corridors is October
8, 2009.
2) If FPL and FDEP accept the alternate corridors, the deadline for submitting
additional data in support of the alternate corridor is November 5, 2009.
3) The City will be responsible for publishing the newspaper notice of
alternate corridor in accordance with Chapter 403.5363(2), F.S.
4) The City will prepare mailing labels and send mail notifications to all
owners of properties within %4 -mile of the proposed alternate corridors.
5) Due to the short turn- around time for delivery of this project, it may not be
possible to obtain records of all existing underground utilities within the
alternate corridors in time to incorporate in the deliverables. KHA will
request and try to obtain readily - available utility records.
6) It is assumed that most the information necessary for this evaluation will be
readily available and obtained through the City of South Miami, FPL
(through City staff) and Miami -Dade County. Additional efforts needed to
produce this information from other sources will be considered additional
services.
