RE: Agreement for Professional Services
Project Name: City Utility Undergrounding Consulting
Project Location: Sunny Isles Beach,FL
Keith and Schnars Pr000sal No. P5098.MK
Dear Mr. Russo:
In accordance with your request and subsequent discussions between members of our association and
yourself and staff, this agreement between Keith and Schnars, P.A. ('CONSULTANT'), and City of Sunny
Isles Beach ('CLIENT' or °CITY') for professional services is submitted for your consideration and
approval. CONSULTANT shall begin work within ten (10) days after receipt of a fully executed copy of this
Agreement.
I. PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT/PROJECT DESCRIP11ON
The purpose of this Agreement is to outline the scope of services recommended by CONSULTANT and
accepted by CLIENT and to establish the contractual conditions between CONSULTANT and CLIENT with
respect to the proposed services.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The CITY has undertaken and completed a significant portion of undergrounding of their overhead utilities.
What remains can be grouped into four areas; 1) Collins Avenue, 2) Sunny Isles Ocean Beach Boulevard,
3) Center Island, and 4) Golden Shores neighborhood. Because of a pending FDOT Resurfacing,
Restoration, and Rehabilitation (RRR) project anticipated to start in June 2015, undergrounding within Collins
Avenue has taken precedence over the other areas.The CITY has the opportunity for an economic benefit as
well as avoidance. of additional disruption to residents if the undergrounding of utilities can be done in
conjunction with the FDOT RRR project. Doing so requires that the completed design be submitted to FDOT
Well in advance of project commencement
Because the project is heavily.dependent upon the responsiveness of outside agencies, with long lead times
and requisite agreements (i.e., FP&L), it is necessary to start the process immediately to gain the benefits of
combining with the RRR project.

2.0 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
CLIENT has requested CONSULTANTS services to coordinate efforts towards completing undergrounding
of utilities within the four areas identified above,Transmission Lines excluded. Undergrounding of Utilities
is a phased process; the scope for each phase is defined by its predecessor. For that reason, although
the intent is to provide a complete scope of services, individual tasks will be accomplished through a series
of work authorizations under a general services agreement.
A typical approach towards undergrounding of utilities can be broken into three phases, 1) Assessment,
2) Design and Permitting, and 3) Bidding/Construction. The CITY anticipates funding to be established
through their CIP; therefore funding mechanisms are not addressed within this proposal. The following
outlines the process to take projects from concept to completion and provides a roadmap of services to be
performed.
Phase 1-Assessment
Step 1. Client Meeting: As with any other project, the first step is to meet with the Client and
establish general parameters for the project. General criteria is established such as identifying the
limits of the project, identify Client expectations/desires, identify stakeholders (those with direct
influence or interest in the project), and reviewing the process/requirements for undergrounding.
Initial discussions will include preliminary schedule, critical timelines, funding sduice, and any other
issue with potential impact to the project.
Step 2. Meeting with FP&L and Utilities: Typically FP&L is the lead in undergrounding services.
Although there is no collaboration between them, the other utilities will generally follow the decisions of
FP&L as relates to undergrounding. Undergrounding is usually handled through one specific
department within FP&L. Where transmission lines are included within the project, other departments
get pulled into the process and the degree of approvals increases. Meetings with each of the utilities
are critical to understanding their specific concerns and requirements for approval and moving the
project forward.
Step 3. Existing Conditions: Information in the form of atlases, right-of-way maps, survey, plat, and
as-bbilis are used to create a base file of information for the undeigrounding corridor. Once compiled,
information is analyzed for sufficiency. Deficient information is further analyzed to determine absolute
necessity for project. Where determined necessary, but unavailable, additional information shall be
obtained. The end result is the creation of a base-file depicting existing conditions used for the
purpose of designs.

Phase 2—Design and Permitting
Step 4. FP&L Tariff Agreement: FP&L has a program in place for municipal undergrounding
projects. Under the conditions of the program the CITY would enter into an agreement with FP&L.
The agreement would require a non-refundable deposit to FP&L for design services resulting in the
following:
• 85%design with sufficient detail for permit submittal(FP&L services only).
• A firm cost for installation (assumes turn-key project from FP&L).
• An outline for credit and conditions(up to 25%credit available).
• 180-day window for acceptance(extensions likely but with potential for additional cost).
Obviously the ability of FP&L to respond will depend upon the complexity of the request, but the
general response time for design projects is 16 weeks upon receipt of 10% design deposit. It is
important to note that FP&L design will only address FP&L services. Plans will need to be coordinated
with other utilities to further define project requirements.
Step 5. Utility Coordination: Once complete, the FP&L design requires coordination with other
utilities. Pole-line agreements need to be severed and new easement and/or right-of-way agreements
prepared. Street Lighting needs to be designed to replace the Cobra-heads removed with existing
power poles. General coordination with existing utilities needs to include location of traffic signalization
boxes, pull boxes, transformers, switchgear, and water/sewer services. Service connections across
private properties need to be addressed. As a condition of the Tariff Agreement, FP&L will obligate the
CITY to see that service connections are Made within the agreed upon timeframe. With the elimination
of overhead poles, private services and transformers will be dropped. Discussions need to include
potential phasing.of Work.as related to the specific utility. It may be that a component that defines the
phase limits for one utility does not coincide with component defining phasing for another.
Step 6. Prepare Construction Documents: Once all of the design issues and requireients have
been identified, construction documents coordinating and addressing utility concerns are prepared.
These plans are used for circulation athorig Stakeholders for confirmation of improvements and
submittal to appropriate perinit•agencies. Final Plans will be used in bid documents. At this stage, in
addition to firm estimates from FP&L, an estimated cost of Other utility relocation will be compared
against the project budget.

Phase 3—Bidding/Construction:
Step 7. Bidding: The agreement with FP&L will result in a binding estimate as a turn-key project for
FP&L improvements only. For a complete scope of services, the CITY will bid the Construction
Documents as submitted for permit Upon selection of Contractor demonstrating certification from
FP&L,the tariff will require modification to account for the diminished services provided by FP&L.
Step 8. Construction: The key to a successful construction process is adherence to schedule
without cost increases and minimal disruption to the public. Public involvement, although a necessary
component throughout the process, will be critical during the construction phase to provide public
awareness and addressing concems/questions. Depending upon the type and extent of
improvement, certification for compliance with permits may be required. If desired, CITY could elect to
have a full time project representative associated with the projects to act as a liaison between the CITY
and public or handle through staff. Finally, upon completion, as-builts are collected, reviewed and
distributed,permits and contracts are closed out, bonds and final payments released.
3.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
Services to be provided by CONSULTANT under this initial Work Authorization shall pertain to Project
Assessment (Phase 1) Only as related to approximately 22 miles of Collins Avenue. In addition to

MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Helen Gray, PE, City Engineer
DATE: 2/71/2013
RE: A Resolution Approving a Contract with Keith and Schnars, P.A. for
Utility Underground Consulting Services
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended City Commission approve the contract.
REASONS:
City Commission has established converting overhead FPL, ATT., and Atlantic
Broadband/cable facilities to underground as a priority project. The main areas remaining
in the City for conversion include the Collins Avenue corridor, Golden Shores, and the
Central Area.
In 2012, the City processed an RFQ for professional consulting services for this work.
Keith and Schnars, PA was determined to be most qualified, and a fee proposal has been
negotiated to advance this project. Given the complexity of the overall project, services
will be performed in phases with this initial phase being for the Collins Avenue corridor
only. This first phase includes assessment, data collection, refined cost estimates and
schedules, and coordination with various utilities and service providers within the project
limits. In addition, given the persistent problems with the consistent reliability of
streetlights and the associated maintenance of the lighting facilities along Collins
Avenue, Keith and Schnars will further investigate the existing system in an effort to
determine what additional improvements may be appropriate to include in the overall
undergrounding project. In an amount not to exceed $54,680.00
