date extended a number of times. The residents and business owners in the area are
anxious to get the project moving and completed as soon as possible. The Bid Opening
date was extended for the sole purpose of awaiting the new Front End Documents and

Group A & B Parks:
Scope of Work: Group A Parks are Stillwater, Crespi, Palm Island, and La Gorce. Group
B Parks are Tatum, Island View, and Fisher. The improvements in these parks were

contractor. Improvements at this phase include fencing, pavers, and other minor items.
Budgeted Amount: Group A $261,786, Group B $239,588
Importance: In most cases, Phase One of these projects was completed earlier this year.

renovation of these neighborhood parks. Staff would like to have the projects started in
September so as to have the parks ready for use during the winter school break.

native landscape plantings, sand fencing replacement and the installation of protective
signage. The restoration ofthe dunes in the North Beach district will be done in

Between the last meeting on July 25, 2001, and the first meeting on September 5, 2001, the City
Commission will not be in session. During this period of time there may be contracts in excess of
the $25,000 limitation, which may need to be awarded or terminated. The City Commission has
historically, during such periods, assigned certain powers to the City Manager subject to ratification
by the City Commission.
Additionally, administrative appeals to the City Commission, as provided in Subpart B, Land
Development Regulations of the Code of the City of Miami Beach, would be unable to be held
between the last meeting on July 25, 2001, and the first meeting on September 5, 2001. Therefore,
any required acts relative thereto should be tolled during said period.
