ANALYSIS
The Florida House and Senate are accepting Water Project funding applications for
consideration on behalf of the Governor Scott, to be considered when developing the FY
2014/15 General Appropriations Act. At the February 12, 2014 Commission meeting, the
Mayor and Commission authorized the City Manager to submit Water Projects for funding
consideration to the Members. The following two projects were submitted:
1. Force Main: The 54-inch diameter force main carries primary waste from the
Flamingo Park neighborhood. The City needs to construct a sanitary sewer force
main from the Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department force main on
Commerce Street to the City pump station on 11 th Street in order to correct a 54-inch
diameter force main with several compromised sections. The Flamingo Park
neighborhood is a low-moderate income neighborhood,with a density of 50-70%low
moderate income persons. A request of$500,000 was submitted for this project.
2. Water Line: This is the replacement of a 20-inch diameter cast iron water line.
The lead-packed connections are leaking throughout the entire length of 5,000 feet.
This project stretches from Alton Road at 51 St Street to Alton and 63rd Street. Alton
Road is a State roadway. A request of$500,000 was submitted for this project.
Both projects support the key intended outcome to maintain city's infrastructure. Funding
for these projects will enable necessary improvements to be made to the sewer and water
system, providing protection to Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve, and ultimately, protection to
the beaches which are valuable to tourism and to the economic base of Miami Beach and
the entire state.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission Support the City's
Water Project funding requests for the Governor's Fiscal Year 2014/15 Budget.
