MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Resolution R-1292-07, the Board approved the assignment of this Agreement from Dade Aviation Consultants to Lea+Elliott and, pursuant to R-1293-07, subsequently updated the language of the agreement to reflect the assignment and revise the documents to conform to County policy.

The MIA Mover APM System Project is an elevated, landside, dual-lane guideway APM system spanning 1.25 miles connecting the Rental Car Center with MIA. Since passenger service commenced September 9, 2011, the MIA Mover has experienced higher-than-anticipated levels of ridership, and those levels are expected to continue to increase. Therefore, MDAD has decided to exercise Owner Option C1 in the Contract to expand the system and procure four (4) additional cars, which will take 27 months to fabricate, test, and put into service. Continued specialized technical expertise to provide support and assistance with the procurement, oversight of the fabrication, monitoring of the system testing of the four (4) additional cars and the installation of the cross-over switch equipment to improve the operational efficiency of the system are required.

Lea+Elliott has provided these services on the existing system and can continue to provide specialized technical support services during the procurement of the four (4) additional cars and installation of the cross-over switch equipment, other related services for the MIA Mover APM System, and technical support services for other APM-related tasks and projects at MIA beyond the intended scope of this Agreement. These tasks are directly related to and necessary for the successful completion of this project and other similar projects as authorized by service orders.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Lea+Elliott was selected to provide specialized technical knowledge and consulting services in the selection of a contractor to design, build, operate and maintain the MIA Mover Automated People Mover (APM) system at Miami International Airport (MIA), provide post contract award services for the project to ensure a timely completion of the project, monitor and control contract costs and schedules, and provide oversight of the design and construction for conformance to the contract documents.
