REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY SERIES 1996 B BONDS
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
On September 24, 1997 the City Commission approved Resolution 97-22536 authorizing the Mayor
and the City Clerk to execute a reimbursement agreement between the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) and the City of Miami Beach in the amount of$1.43 million for the purpose
of reconstructing Collins Avenue from Espanola Way to Lincoln Road. Under the terms of this
agreement the City is to bid and construct the project on behalf of the FDOT. The City is also
required to advance the necessary funds to construct the project and seek reimbursement from the
FDOT when the work is completed.
The final reconstruction plans designed by the FDOT engineers were estimated to cost
approximately $2 million and take nine (9) to twelve (12) months to build. The plans required the
contractor to completely remove the entire roadway to the sub-grade and replace it in phases. The
schedule to complete this work was determined to be incompatible with the opening of the
Convention Center Hotel in October 1998.

On March 17. 1998 City staff met with FOOT officials and discussed the City's desire to implement
an interim plan for the reconstruction of Collins Avenue from 15th Street to Lincoln Road, which
will meet the scheduled opening of the Convention Center Hotel. The interim plan consists of
replacing the sidewalks, curb and gutter and the milling and resurfacing of the roadway. The cost
to accomplish the interim plan is estimated at $359,808. The FOOT officials have agreed to fund
the interim plan and have prepared an amended reimbursement agreement for the project that reflects
the proposed work.
ANAL YSIS:
The amended reimbursement agreement with FOOT provides $329,808 for construction and $30,000
for construction engineering inspection (CEI). The funds have been budgeted by FOOT in fiscal
year 1997-1998. The total of$359,808 in State funds will be available for disbursement to the City,
on an incremental basis, after the FOOT receives and approves the contractor invoices as the work
progresses.
The City utilizes a bidding procedure that complies with State rules and regulations, which will be
required for the construction of this project. Construction, utilizing existing bids, is scheduled to
begin July 1, 1998 and be completed by October 1, 1998.
Funds in the amount of$359,808 are available for appropriation into a work order from the Miami
Beach Redevelopment Agency series 1996 B bonds.
CONCLUSION:
The City Commission and the RDA should adopt the resolution authorizing the amended
reimbursement agreement with the FDOT which is essential for the City to meet the scheduled
completion date that has been established.
