PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH ARQUITECTONICA

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · resolution

Miami-Dade County approved an amendment to a professional services agreement with Arquitectonica International, Inc. for the Coconut Grove Playhouse project. This amendment increases the contract amount by $4,248,887.00, bringing the total to $6,647,567.00. The additional funds cover design, construction documents, and administration for a new parking garage building, as well as compensation for extended services due to regulatory delays and litigation. The contract term is extended from six years to a total of 14 years, including two one-year options. Funding will come from Convention Development Tax Bonds and parking revenues. The project has faced significant delays due to legal proceedings and regulatory reviews, including appeals to the Historic and Environmental Preservation Board and the Planning Zoning and Appeals Board, and court rulings that ultimately favored the County.
