SUBJECT: INCREASE TO WORK ORDER NO. 2067 TO FUND THE 'UNDERGROUND
CONVERSION OF UTILITIES ON TERMINAL ISLAND
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
•
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the
attached resolution authorizing the Mayor and the City Commission
to appropriate $258,266 to Work Order No. 2067 in order to complete •
• the underground conversion of utilities on Terminal Island.
BACKGROUND:
• The State of Florida, Department of Transportation completed the
conversion•of utilities underground along the MacArthur •Causeway up
to the Terminal Island . area for a total cost of $828,422. The
City's cost for this portion of the project is $39,411. The
Terminal Island conversion is the final phase of the project for
placing all of' the' "utilities underground along. the MacArthur
. ' Causeway.
•
ANALYSIS: • •
The estimated cost for performing -this .conversion is $457,500 for
the electrical. conversion and $11,355 for the telephone conversion.
The City is pursuing reimbursement from Dade County in the amount
of $210,589 but has not received a commitment for this funding. The
City is currently negotiating with Island Developers, .Ltd. , Sun
Terminal, Inc. , and the United States Coast Guard to participate in •
the cost 'sharing for this undertaking. This cost sharing could
provide up .to $134,000 in funding to complete this project. This
means that the City's cost for the .total project would be $163,677
which is $86,323 less than the $250,000 which the City originally •
anticipated and committed to be spent.
•
Although the State was unable to contribute ' additional funds
directly to the Terminal Island project, Mr. Stan Cann, District
Secretary, Florida Department Of Transportation has informed us
that the State will contribute $200,000 for the Fifth Street
landscape project.

Terminal Island Utilities
Page 2
CONCLUSION:
Terminal Island represents a major gateway to the City of Miami
Beach. The MacArthur Causeway landscape project is an elaborate,
$1.5 million beautification project. This landscape project which
is underway will encompass the Terminal Island area.
It is imperative that this underground utility conversion be
completed no later than 90 days from the execution of these
agreements in order to accommodate the final phase of the landscape
project. Further, the convention of international tour operators
(Pow Wow) scheduled for May, 1994 is a major consideration in
expediting the completion of both the utility conversion and the
landscaping.
Should the City ' Commission accept the Administration's
recommendation and authorize the underground utility project on
Terminal Island to move forward, staff will continue it's efforts
to obtain maximum reimbursement from government and private sector
sources as described above.
