ANAL YSIS
The Florida Highway Beautification Council was created by the 1987 Legislature. The
Council provides grant funding for landscaping and irrigation on State Roads, within the
Florida Department of Transportation right-of-way. Eligible projects include landscaping on
medians, roadside and/or sidewalks. Funding is available up to a maximum of $300,000
and must be matched with local funds.
Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) will be working on Indian Creek Drive from
Collins Avenue to 40th Street. The scope of work includes repaving the road, improving
drainage, installing sleeving for irrigation and installing bump-outs along Indian Creek Drive
from Collins Avenue to 40th Street. The FOOT project does not include landscaping for the
bump-outs, or irrigation.
The Administration is requesting approval to apply for funding from the State of Florida
Highway Beautification Council to install landscaping and irrigation at the Indian Creek
project. The landscaping and irrigation work funded by the grant will be coordinated to
commence after the completion of the repaving work that FOOT will be completing.
The grant, if awarded, requires a 1:1 local match or not to exceed $300,000. The
Administration has identified potential sources of City funding, including, but not limited to
General Obligation Bond funds and Quality of Life funding as the local match portion of this
project and recommends appropriating not to exceed $300,000 if awarded, from these
funds for this purpose.
As part of FOOT's requirements, the City of Miami Beach will be responsible for the
maintenance of the landscaping and will be required to enter into a Memorandum of
Agreement confirming that the City will maintain the landscaping.
Therefore, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve a
Resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to submit an application for grant
funds from the Florida Department Of Transportation, to be matched with an amount not
to exceed $300,000 of City funding for landscaping and irrigation on Indian Creek Drive;
further appropriating the grant if approved and accepted by the City; and authorizing the
execution all necessary documents related to this application.
