Russo, City Manager <br />`—Bill Evans, Assistant City Manager <br />July 31, 2014 <br />RE: A Resolution Authorizing City Staff to Negotiate a Contract with Ric - <br />Man International, Inc. for the Design and Construction of a Pedestrian <br />Bridge at Gateway Park <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Staff recommends City Commission approve the Resolution. <br />REASONS: <br />To provide for safe pedestrian access to Gateway Park from the north side of Sunny Isles <br />Boulevard (SR826) the City desires to construct a bridge from the east side of North Bay <br />Road over Sunny Isles Boulevard to Gateway Park. There are five westbound lanes <br />separated by a solid concrete barrier between the south three lanes and the north two <br />lanes. Currently, access to Gateway Park from north of North Bay Road at Sunny Isles <br />Boulevard is via either Collins Avenue or the loop road under SR 826 at the Intracoastal; <br />each of these travel routes are approximately one -half mile in length and still require <br />crossing active roadways. <br />In order to advance this project quickly, the City issued RFP No. 13 -08 -01 to solicit <br />qualification proposals from interested firms or teams for a Design -Build contract. The <br />City received three responses to this RFP. Respondents were asked to submit additional <br />information that included both technical and cost proposals; the submittals were reviewed <br />and presentations conducted on July 10, 2014. Ric -Man International, Inc. (RMI) was <br />determined to be the most responsive, responsible proposer. Staff recommends approval <br />to enter into contract negotiations with RMI. <br />FUNDING SOURCE: C C <br />Aeenda Item J <br />Not to Exceed $2,100,000 from Account No. 20- 600.5688 I I <br />Date <br />
