A RESOLUTION'OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION TO GRANT A NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT TO FLORIDA
POWER & LIGHT COMPANY (FP&L) FOR THE PROVISION OF
UNDERGROUND DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES, A TRANSFORMER PAD
AND A VAULT AT THE MIAMI BEACH REGIONAL LIBRARY; AND
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AND
RECORD THE EASEMENT FOR THE REQUIRED UNDERGROUND
FACILITIES, TRANSFORMER PAD AND VAULT.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
Following a City Commission workshop in January 29, 1997, the City determined the area
adjacent to the Bass Museum, between 22nd and 23rd Streets and Collins Avenue as the
site for a Regional Library with parking facilities. In September 23, 1998 the Mayor and
City Commission adopted Resolution No. 98-22904 awarding Robert A.M. Stern Architects
a contract for the design of the Regional Library and parking facilities. On April 10, 2002,
Resolution No. 2002-24828 was adopted awarding the construction contract for the
Regional Library to the Tower Group. Construction commenced on May 6, 2002 and has
been proceeding on schedule with an anticipated substantial completion date of August 5,
2003.
In order to supply the electrical power to the Regional Library and its facilities, Florida
Power and Light (FP&L) needs to install a transformer on a pad with underground feeders
adjacent to the parking area (see attached sketch "A") and a vault for the switchgear within
the building. To energize the system, FP&L is requesting the City to grant an easement for
the pad mount transformer, the vault and the underground transmission ducts area within
the parking area.
ANALYSIS
Following the recommended location by F.P.&L. of the proposed underground ducts, the
transformer pad and the vault room, and the review/approval by the Architects/Engineers
and the Contractor, Public Works found no conflict with existing underground utilities or
land use and, therefore, recommends granting a non-exclusive easement. The non-
exclusive easement will be granted to FP&L for the installation and maintenance of an
underground transmission system, a transformer pad and a vault room, within that portion
of the Regional Library site as shown in the attached legal description and sketch. The
easement will be valid for the duration of said structure and facilities being in service and
will revert to the City in case of removal of such electrical services.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends the granting of the easement by the Mayor and City
Commission to Florida Power & Light for the underground utilities, the transformer pad and
vault room, and the execution and recording of said easement by the Mayor and City Clerk,
to allow energizing of the Miami Beach Regional Library building and its facilities.
