the plan at their meeting of March 12, 1998, and recommended that Phase I and II of the Project be
implemented and that the appropriation be reduced to $1,727,250.
The cost of the Project was estimated at $1,727,250 which provided $1,527,250 for the construction
of Phase I and II, and $200,000 for architectural and engineering fees. The source of funding for the
Project is an appropriation of 50% of the Middle Beach share of the 1 % Resort Tax (Quality of Life

On July 15, 1998, the City Commission awarded a contract to Vila & Son Landscaping Corp. for
the Phase I improvements which included landscaping, irrigation, uplighting, and the replacement
of brick pavers and Chattahoochee with new concrete pavers throughout the existing sidewalks from
Alton Road to the Indian Creek Waterway Bridge. Change Order Nos. 1-6 were administratively
approved through a $70,000 contingency fund previously allocated to Phase I of the Project.
Change Order No.7 in the amount not to exceed $60,000, will be reduced from portions allocated
for Phase II improvements that will not be constructed. This Change Order is for the removal and
replacement of concrete base along the sidewalks from Alton Road to the Biscayne Waterway Bridge
to allow the proper installation of the new concrete pavers. The existing conditions do not allow for
the removal of the Chattahoochee without destroying the underlying concrete base. Alternate
methods of installation were compared and it was concluded that replacing the existing concrete base
is the most cost effective method of installation to achieve the project's intent. The new concrete
base will accommodate the installation of the proposed concrete pavers and allow for the pavers to
match existing elevations. The City's consultants and the Middle Beach Partnership have evaluated
this Change Order and agree with the cost estimate submitted.
The City Commission should adopt the Resolution.
