59H-1.001 Title

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Agency proposes to repeal

Rule 59H-1.001, F.A.C., which specifies the title of the rule

chapter. This rule is unnecessary and redundant as the title is

SUMMARY: Rule 59H-1.001, F.A.C., is unnecessary and

redundant as the title is incorporated in the rule chapter as

published.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED

RATIFICATION: The Agency has determined that this will

not have an adverse impact on small business or likely

increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of

$200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the

implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by

the Agency.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not

expected to require legislative ratification based on the

statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is

required, the information expressly relied upon and described

herein: The Agency has determined that no SERC is required

and that no legislative ratification pursuant to subsection

120.541(3) F.S.is required based on the Agency’s review of

information at the time of analysis and the preparation of a

checklist for the rule to determine the need for the creation of

a SERC.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a

statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal

for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing

within 21 days of this notice.

(hereinafter referred to as “FIU” or “Owner”) announces that

construction engineering and inspection services will be

PROJECT NAME AND NUMBER: Construction engineering

and inspection services for BT-904 University City Prosperity

Project Infrastructure Improvements, FM No. 434688-1,

Contract ARI73 Federal Aid Number TGER-002-A

(collectively referred to as the “Project”)

PROJECT LOCATION: Infrastructure improvements for this

Project will be located along SW 109th Avenue between SW

6th Street at the northern terminus and the Green Library at

the southern terminus within FIU. Various project elements

will be located on FIU property, City of Sweetwater Right-of-

Way, South Florida Water Management District Right-of-

Way, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Right-of-

Way, and Miami-Dade County Right-of-Way.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: On September 5, 2013, FIU was

notified by the United States Department of Transportation

(USDOT) that it had been selected as a recipient of a 2013

Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery

(TIGER) Grant for the Project. TIGER funds will be used to

construct urban design and infrastructure improvements for

the Project, including a new pedestrian bridge, complete

streets, and other pedestrian-oriented transit access

improvements. These infrastructure improvements will

support the economic growth of FIU, a major public research

university, and the adjacent City of Sweetwater.

Following the September 2013 notification, FIU retained an

engineering firm to act as a Design Criteria Professional and

prepare Design-Build criteria, which included schematic

plans, specifications and estimates. The foregoing plans,

specifications and estimates, along with other documents and

requirements, were released as part of a Request for Proposals

for Design-Build services that was advertised on June 30,

2014. Five qualification submissions from Design-Build firms

were received on July 30, 2014 and three firms were short-

listed and asked to submit complete proposals. Design-Build

firm selection interviews were conducted on November 5,

2015 and the MCM-Figg team was selected as the winning

firm. Execution of the Design-Build Contract is scheduled to

occur in mid-January 2016. Following the Contract Execution

and Notice to Proceed the development of final fully-

engineered designs, plans and specifications will begin. Links

to further information on the Project and the Design-Build

firm selection process and proposal can be found at the Project

web page, http://facilities.fiu.edu/projects/BT-904.htm. Firms

considering submission of qualifications for construction

engineering and inspection services should become familiar

with the Project by visiting the proposed construction site and
