REASONS: The Government Center opened in 2005. Throughout the years since its completion, the tile around the fountain has been fully replaced once and patched several times. It's current condition is deplorable and not representative of the quality city that is Sunny Isles Beach. Administration budgeted for, and the City Commission approved, to have the area restored and improved with an emphasis on a more resilient solution. Utilizing the architects that are qualified on our list of CCNA architects as per RFP 20- 07-01, city staff recommends entering into a project agreement with Rodriguez Architects, Inc.

The project will consist of resurfacing the pool area of the fountain, upgrading the lighting, jets and wiring to code -compliant devices, restoring the walls surrounding the fountain, and converting the pavers around the area to colored concrete to maintain the design style that was the original design intent. RAI has agreed to perform this work in an amount not -to -exceed $70,400.00. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: City staff and RAI have built time into this agreement to bring the preliminary design to the City Commission for consideration before drafting the construction documents.
