Summary
The City Commission authorized initiating an award to Shift Construction & Development for the Washington Park Community Center redevelopment, with the contract capped at $19,073,943 and separate construction-administration work with KCI Technologies authorized for the project’s delivery.
The North Miami Beach City Commission authorized the initiation of an award to Shift Construction & Development Inc. for the Washington Park Community Center redevelopment project, approving a contract not to exceed $19,073,943.
Purchasing staff told the commission the project followed a prequalification process that narrowed bidders to five firms and that the selected firm will next work with city departments to finalize scope, information technology needs and start dates. “Those prequalified firms were narrowed down to five firms that were able to submit a bid for the construction of the Washington Park Community Center,” the purchasing director said, and staff requested authority to initiate the award and later execute a final agreement.
The commission also approved a separate work order with KCI Technologies Inc., the engineer of record, for construction-administration services in an amount not to exceed $862,420. Staff said KCI will handle inspection, requests for information, permitting support and closeout work during construction.
City officials said the project is budgeted and described the approvals as steps to begin demolition, construction and oversight. Commissioners asked for backup documents and confirmed the procurement and budget processes used to reach the award recommendation.
The commission approved the award initiation and the construction-administration contract during the legislation section of the meeting. Staff said more detailed contract documents and scope refinement will be completed before the city executes the final construction agreement.
