CAPITAL PROGRAM STATUS REPORT
January - March 2020
1 a. Waterfront Park Development:
Status:
On January 03, 2020, the Village attended a meeting for the review of a
progress set where the comments on the Schematic Design submittal were
addressed and possible solutions were discussed. The Architect
Zyscovich Architects and their sub -consultants are coordinating the
development phase in alignment with the approved Schematic Design
submitted in December 2019 and we anticipate the next deliverables by
mid -May.
In addition, the Seawall Replacement project has been design to a 30%
completion and the plans have been submitted to DERM for a Class I permit,
to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and to US
Army Corp of Engineers (USACOE).
In March we submitted a Florida Inland Navigational District (FIND)
Waterway Assistance Program grant application requesting funding for the
Seawall & Dock Replacement including the proposed Boardwalk and Kayak
Launch. The FIND Commission will review the application for compliance
with the grant requirements.
If awarded funding will be available for October 2020. We have submitted a
federal appropriation request via Representative Wasserman and will be
submitting a DEO request under the Rebuild Florida Infrastructure Program.
Grants applications will also be submitted to Florida Division of Emergency
Management Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and Flood
Mitigation Assistance Program grant.
As per our updated project schedule, we expect the Village Park design
completion for October 2020 and the Construction Completion is projected
for June 2022 (this date will vary in response to the permit review period
since this facility has components on the waterway and will require an
environmental permit approval).
1 b. Public Spaces Operations Facility Remodeling 1840 NE 144 Street, North Miami
Status:
ARM Architects submitted the final Construction Documents for the New
Operations Facility in February and the Demolition plans for the existing
Recreation Center and existing Operations Facility located at 18 Bal Bay
Drive. Permit documents were submitted to the City of North Miami and
Miami -Dade County Department of Environmental Resource Management

and Fire simultaneously. Permits are pending and we have encountered
delay due to County Building Department COVID 19 protocol.
The Request for Proposal (RFP) was transmitted to 5 contactors for the
solicitation of bids and bids were received on March 25th and we received
bids from 2 responsive bidders. Bell Construction and CCA submitted bids
but the latter was found to be unresponsive due to a late submittal of their
bid.
Currently, we have negotiated successfully with Bell Construction Inc. and
will be submitting a Council item for approval of their construction contract.
We anticipate the issuance of an NTP for May 1st, 2020. Grants applications
will also be submitted to Florida Division of Emergency Management (UASI),
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and Flood Mitigation Assistance
Program grant.
2. Jetty/Cutwalk/96th Street -End Design Development:
Status:
Currently, the project is in the Design Development Phase and the plans are
40% complete. Upon submission and review of the progress set, the project
is pending the constructability review. We are in the process of contracting
for cost estimating, constructability review and value engineering services on
the structural waterside components. Pursuant to the recommendation, the
design development phase will be finalized. Jurisdictional and
environmental agencies permit submittals will be scheduled with DERM,
ACOE & FDEP as soon as we have a direction as to the structural design.
In March we submitted a Florida Inland Navigational District (FIND)
Waterway Assistance Program grant application requesting funding for the
Jetty project. If awarded Phase I (design services) funding will be available
for October 2020.
We have also submitted a federal appropriation request via Representative
Wasserman Shultz office. Currently, we will be submitting a DEO request
under the Rebuild Florida Infrastructure Program. Grants applications will
also be submitted to Florida Division of Emergency Management Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and Flood Mitigation Assistance Program
grant.
In December 2019, Council approved Mikyoung's additional service
proposal for a design concept for the 96th Street End project to align the
proposed design with the Jetty's vision. We anticipate receiving a concept
visioning at the end of April 2020. At that time will bring concepts to the
Council while simultaneously coordinating with the City of Surfside.

3. Beach Re-nourishment/Sand By -Pass Project:
3A. Beach Re -nourishment
Status:
On March 20, 2020, The Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(FDEP) issued a Request for Additional Information (RAI), to the U. S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE). The RAI It largely focuses on questions related
to the flood shoal borrow area - dredging details, geotechnical data, and
resources in close proximity to borrow area. There are also questions related
to the sand compatibility of the proposed upland sand sources in the RAI.
The Village in collaboration with our retained Coastal Engineer, Cummins
Cederberg, Inc. continue to monitor the progress of this project during the
permitting phase.
On April 3, 2020, The Villager received the Notice of Availability (NOA) of
the draft Environmental Assessment (EA) and proposed Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) for the beach re -nourishment of Bal Harbour
Beach, Miami -Dade County, Florida, under the Dade County Beach Erosion
Control and Hurricane Protection Project (BEC&HPP).
The draft EA evaluates the use of four additional sand sources for re -
nourishment of Bal Harbour Beach: dredged material from the Bakers
Haulover Inlet (BHI) Channel and the BHI Flood Shoal, upland sand mine
Garcia Family Farm, LLC in Henry County (Garcia), and upland sand mine
Cemex Construction Material Florida, LLC in Polk County (Cemex). Potential
borrow area alternatives for the Bal Harbour Beach re -nourishment
evaluated in other EAs/FONSIs, were also discussed within the evaluation.
The draft EA and proposed FONSI for the evaluation of additional sand
sources for the Bal Harbour Beach segment of the Dade County BEC&HPP
are available for your review on the Corps Environmental planning website
under Dade County at the following link:
http://www.saj.usace.army.mil/About/Divisions-
Offices/Planning/Environmental-Branch/Environmental-Documents/
(On that page, click on the "+" next to "Dade" and scroll down to the project
name.)
The following information provides further details and schedule for the
upcoming sand re -nourishment along Bal Harbour Beach this Fall:
Sand placement - Village of Bal Harbour limits (R-27 to R-32)
• Sand amount - 210,000 Cubic Yards (CY)
• 50% of the volumes are anticipated to be dredged from the Flood Shoal
inside Haulover Inlet
• 50% of the volumes are anticipated to be truck hauled from approved
mines.
Work Schedule:
• FDEP Permit application (new or modification) 12/30/19
