dC • F147¢ �� F a City of Sunny Isles Beach 18070 Collins Avenue Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 33160 (305) 947-0606 City Hall (305) 949-3113 Fax MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners VIA: Stan Morris, City Manager FROM: Susan Simpson, Assistant City Manager DATE: December 16, 2021 RE: Amendment to Agreement with O'Leary Richards Design Associates RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this Resolution. REASONS: In 2016 the City entered into an agreement with O'Leary Richards Design Associates (ORDA) fc landscape design services. Throughout the years, ORDA has worked on landscape design projects sucl as improvements to medians and parks, consulted on the landscape services bid and award, performs monthly inspections of the work by our landscape contractors and provides monthly reports. Additionally, ORDA reviews and approves site plans and permits for private projects. These service! are tracked and paid for by the permit applicant, however, the City is still required to receive authority to spend the funds. Most recently, ORDA was contracted to design the Mediation Garden at the sit( of the former skate park at Town Center Park. This project has been delayed until the fountain and artwork contract with an artist was worked out. That occurred at the October meeting and we have subsequently received an updated proposal from ORDA for this work. ORDA has proven to provide exceptional quality and understands the goals of the City in our efforts tc provide the highest level of both beauty and function while being conscience of our environment. Her designs endeavor to be mindful of water conservation and fertilization reduction efforts. This amendment in the amount of $108,200 provides for an additional $15,500 for the Meditation Garden project and $92,700 in general consulting services, a portion of which is reimbursed through permits.
