Description: The City of Opa-Locka will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit competitive proposals from qualified firms for Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) services for the Helen Miller Center located at Segal Park located at 2331 NW 143rd Street, in the City of Opa-Locka. The city received a $2,777,474.93 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) contract from Miami Dade County Department of Public Housing and Community Development (PHCD) for the Segal Park Rehabilitation — Helen Miller Center Project. The Phase I ESA is required per PHCD CDBG requirements for new construction or substantial rehabilitation projects. The Phase I ESA must be completed before implementation of the design and/or construction of the project. The purpose of this Phase I ESA is to identify the site environmental conditions in connection with Recognized Environmental Conditions as defined by ASTM E 1527-05 as "the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property; the requirements of HUD "Environmental Assessment Guide for Housing Projects"; and the HUD Handbook 1390.4 "Guide to HUD Environmental Criteria and Standards contained in 24 CFR 51. Financial Impact: Staff estimates that the assessment will cost around $3,000.00 and is payable from account#44-541814 Implementation Timeline: Immediately Legislative History: Resolution#11-8307 -authorizing the acceptance of the CDBG award. Recommendation(s): Staff recommends seeking price proposals from qualified vendors to provide Phase I ESA services for Helen Miller Center at Segal Park. The Phase I ESA will allow for the implementation of the project. Additionally, having a current Phase I ESA is a CDBG condition of funding. Analysis: The existing one story structure at the Helen Miller Center at Segal Park has uneven settlement along with multiple cracks, bulging and uplifting of the slab-on-grade inside and outside. Substantial rehabilitation work will be involved to resolve the current unsafe condition of the building. Based on the results of the subsurface exploration by Geotechnical evaluation, the existing building can be demolished entirely including its footings and slab-on-grade followed by the installation of a deep foundation system or may be retrofitted with micropiles to adequately support the existing structure and expand the building.
