STAFF RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board approve the attached Change Order No. 8 between Parsons/Odebrecht Joint Venture (POJV) and Miami-Dade County, increasing the Contract amount by $23,000,000 for the purposes described in this memorandum.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
SCOPE
PROJECT NAME: North Terminal Development (NTD)
PROJECT NO.: B780B
CONTRACT NO.: B780B
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Construction of North Terminal Development (NTD) Consolidation Program, project design packages 737E, 737F, 737G, 739A, 739C, 739H, 739I, 740A, 745A/B, 746A, 747B, 747G, 756E, 775C, 776O, 776P and 779A
PROJECT LOCATION: Miami International Airport (MIA)
PRIMARY COMMISSION DISTRICT: This project is located within Commissioner Rebeca Sosa�s District 6. However, the impact of this item is countywide in nature as Miami International Airport is a regional asset.
APPROVAL PATH: Board of County Commissioners
USING DEPARTMENT: Miami-Dade Aviation Department
MANAGING DEPARTMENT: Miami-Dade Aviation Department
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The source of the $23 million funding this Change Order No. 8 is the overall NTD Program Contingency Account that was funded in the last $503 million bond sale. The Change Order does not increase the dollar amount of the approved NTD Budget and therefore no additional bond sale is required.
MODIFICATION FUNDING SOURCE: CIP Construction Funds
PTP/GOB FUNDING: No
CHANGE ORDER DESCRIPTION: Increase the Owner�s Allowance Account by $23,000,000.

BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
As was reported to the Board in a June 7, 2011, memorandum, while the North Terminal Development is 94 percent complete and open to the public, Phases 1 & 2 of the Baggage Handling System (BHS), which are critical for the completion of the remaining NTD Program, are behind schedule. The delay is due to the complexity of this automated ticket-counter-to-gate delivery system and the performance measures necessary for an efficient airline hub operation.

In April 2011, the NTD Program Management and American Airlines (AA) attempted to transition to the new in-line system. Regrettably, during implementation of the live operations, issues were observed that would impact AA�s anticipated operational levels. A contributing factor was that the volume of bags anticipated when the project was designed more than 10 years ago was significantly less than what AA now handles at Miami International Airport. In the past two years, AA has grown its MIA hub operations from about 200 outbound flights a day to more than 300 daily flights.

The delay in implementation of the North Terminal BHS has had a detrimental effect on multiple NTD projects and contractors. The North Terminal Federal Inspection Services (FIS) Facility project, which is under this contract with POJV, is the most impacted by the BHS delays, as a portion of the work cannot be completed until the old legacy baggage system is demolished upon full acceptance and functional operation of Phases 1 & 2 of the BHS

Subsequent to these additional delays in successful completion and transition to the new in-line BHS, the NTD program, which was anticipated for completion in November 2011, is now forecast for completion in November 2012. This one-year delay has a significant contractual liquidated indirect cost exposure to the Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) of about $1.1 million per month. However, MDAD has historically been successful in negotiating a considerably smaller sum and expects to do the same in this case.

While the actual Baggage Handling System installation is performed under a separate contract between the County and Siemens Industries, Inc., the purpose of this change order is to mitigate and re-phase portions of work to minimize the impact of the delays and to replenish the contract�s allowance account to perform additional work. Some of the additional scope includes but is not limited to the following:

� Additional Lighting at Ramp Level: The scope includes providing additional light fixtures at the ramp level as the lighting levels over the baggage conveyors were determined to be inadequate. This is necessary to ensure proper functioning, airline operation and safety for the baggage handling crew;
� Switchgear Upgrade and new Feeder Cables: The scope involves decommissioning and removal of existing generator and FPL 4900 vault and the transfer of the electrical power service to one of the new NTD vaults through new feeder cables;
� Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Head-end Equipment for MDAD Security Room (MSR) #5: The scope involves providing and installing head-end equipment for CCTV, which was supposed to be provided by another CIP project, including all necessary connections, commissioning, and tagging;
� Fire Suppression System for Automated People Mover (APM) Equipment Rooms: The scope consists of providing an alternate clean-agent fire suppression system at each of the four APM Electrical Equipment Rooms (located at the fourth

level just below the APM Station Platforms) and APM Maintenance & Storage Facility (MSF) Electrical Room;
� Additional Fire Suppression System for Eight MDAD Security Rooms (MSR): The scope consists of providing an alternate clean-agent fire suppression system at each of the eight MSR rooms. This was part of the CIP project that was never executed; however, the work is needed for compliance;
� Additional Elevator at D and Extension of Contract: The scope involves completing elevator work in existing D left incomplete by previously terminated contractor, and extending the vendor (Kone) contract to complete the remaining work;
� Additional Site Security Expenses: Additional site security expenses include securing the construction workers� parking lot due to the extension in contract time;
� Other Unforeseen/Design Changes in FIS: As the demolition of existing areas in the older part of the terminal is progressing to make way for the new FIS, a significant number of utilities and unforeseen conditions are being encountered. The extent of field conditions related to relocation and rerouting of utilities, and to address code issues for non-compliance has been greater than typical for such kind of work.

ORIGINAL AGREEMENT AMOUNT: $542,041,500
PREVIOUS COUNTY MODIFICATIONS:
In June 2005, the Board approved Change Order No. 1 (R-738-05 ) allowing the Aviation Director to authorize POJV to negotiate contracts with six key contractors that had been terminated by American Airline�s original contractor Turner Austin Aviation Team (TAAT), and providing for an Owner�s Allowance Account of $38.9 million. Under this arrangement, MDAD bid the needed contracts out and POJV managed them.

In May 2007, Change Order 2 (R-624-07) implemented the First Amended and Restated Contract (FARC) which increased the contract amount by $503,459,716 for an adjusted contract amount of $1,045,501,216; increased contract time by 393 calendar days through June 2011; and gave POJV the authority to competitively bid projects. The County benefited from the FARC in that it settled all previous claims, added scope, and gave POJV fixed dollar amounts for core work and general conditions, as well as general, administrative and profit. In other words, Change Order 2 consolidated into the POJV contract the funding that the County would have had to directly and separately disburse to the trade contractors. These trade contractors actually construct the different projects as under the original agreement POJV could not self perform and was limited to the role of managing contractor.

Of the increased contract amount, the FARC allocated an additional $125,562,667 to the Owner�s Allowance Account to pay for known potential issues for which costs could be determined only after construction had started. These issues included commissioning, repairs of deficient work of previous contractors under TAAT, and soil and water treatment. An important feature/benefit of the Owner�s Allowance Account established under the FARC was that it provided MDAD with the flexibility to apportion funds to potential projects not allocated in the contract for fear those expenditures would become a self-fulfilling prophecy and be taken for granted. Instead, MDAD funds these projects as they become necessary. It is from this account that the $23 million is being drawn.


On July 1, 2008, the Mayor, or if authorized by the County Mayor the Airport Director, was given the authority to act on NTD Projects without prior Board approval (Ord.08-87) for projects totaling no more than $542 million as funded in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Those actions included: advertise, determine selection committee members, accept or reject bids, negotiate professional services contracts, award, and amend any contract for services to be performed, facilities to be constructed, or goods to be incorporated in connection with the NTD.

The Airport Director could also issue notices to proceed, extend the contract time, waive liquidated damages for failure to comply with contract terms, modify those terms, increase or reduce in any amount the scope and compensation payable under any contract, and grant compensable and non-compensable time extensions.

Under that authority, which expired on January 1, 2011, the Aviation Director, via five Change Orders ratified by the Board, increased by $45 million the POJV Owner�s Allowance Account by reallocating unused funds from other completed NTD projects. Those Change Orders provided for: completion of C-D shell work left incomplete from the termination of the previous contractors; work related to the baggage handling mitigation plan, including a 153-calendar-day extension of the NTD Consolidated Project contract completion; work required to reopen Concourse A to the traveling public; global settlement for all time impacts to date, disputes and scope gap items for the A-B Infill project; and scope changes relating to security enhancements required by Customs & Border Protection (CBP) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
