Montero, P.A., hmontero@monterolaw.com, 954.767.6500 In Nazario v. M. Vila, City of Miami Beach, Metro Express, and CMA; Case Number 2013-025280-CA-01, CMA was similarly sued despite having no contractual responsibility with respect to the alleged defective work. This negligence action arose out of the death of a passenger on a motorcycle that is alleged to have hit a sanitary sewer manhole located within the City of Miami Beach. CMA had no responsibility whatsoever relating to sanitary sewer placement or construction. CMA designed the water main and stormwater system and contracted to provide part-time RPR services with respect to the work CMA designed. The sanitary sewer was designed by the City of Miami Beach and installed by the city’s contractor. The City of Miami Beach hired another consultant to oversee and inspect the sanitary sewer work. The plaintiff further alleged that CMA was negligent in the design, oversight and implementation of maintenance of traffi c (“MOT”), notwithstanding the fact that CMA had no responsibility with respect to MOT. The city’s contractor had design and implementation responsibility and the review, approval and oversight of MOT was the responsibility of the City of Miami Beach. Notwithstanding this, CMA has been included as a defendant. This case is still pending, but CMA believes the court will ultimately ﬁ nd that it was not a responsible party.
