PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH ARQUITECTONICA

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-504-26 on June 2, 2026, approving the first amendment to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Arquitectonica International, Inc. for the Coconut Grove Playhouse project (Project No. A-14-CUA-01). This amendment increases the contract amount by $4,248,887.00, bringing the total contract value to $6,647,567.00. The additional funds are for design, construction documents, and construction administration services for a new parking garage building, and to cover increased costs for the original scope due to regulatory delays and prolonged litigation. The contract term is extended from six years to a total of 14 years, with two additional one-year options. Funding will come from Convention Development Tax Bonds (Special Obligation Bond Series 2005) and parking revenues. The project has faced significant delays due to legal challenges and regulatory reviews, including appeals to the City of Miami's Historic and Environmental Preservation Board and Planning Zoning and Appeals Board, and court proceedings that concluded in October 2024.
