Smith for Central Island Stormwater Project RECOMMENDATION: This item is presented for your consideration. REASONS: The City of Sunny Isles Beach requires additional services of Craig A. Smith consultants to continue the design and permitting for the Central Island Drainage project. Craig A. Smith & Associates (CAS) was initially retained to design a solution for the on -going flooding that occurs in the Central Island neighborhood of the City. They were selected primarily due to their expertise and success in resolving the constant flooding on Winston Towers Blvd., a City project that remains functional today. Their original design, based on data and their expertise and experience was to install two pump stations, one to the north and one to the south, with two pumps in each. This design also required renovations to the existing drainage system to tie the current deep wells into the pump station system. This design went out to bid. The bid results were higher than expected. Modifications and clarifications were made that was intended to lower the overall price however the bids remained greater than budgeted. Although this design was considered to be the best solution, a cost savings concept was presented that would utilize our current drainage system. Utilizing the current system was expected to save approximately 60% of the overall cost. CAS was tasked with designing an injection well system, utilizing ten individual pumps throughout the central island area, as a cost savings solution for this Item Number: 9.1 384
