from 350 feet south of 63rd Street to just north of Abbot Avenue (0.6 mile), as part of the 63rd Street At-

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
The City of Miami Beach requested that the proposed Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) At-Grade Project, that will replace the existing 63r~ Street
Flyover, include the installation of a landscaped median on Indian Creek Drive. Pursuant
this request, FDOT incorporated the landscaped median plans in the 63r~ Street
Construction demolition. In addition, FDOT agreed to landscape certain roadside areas
as shown in the Landscape Plans for the project.
USDOT rules allow FDOT to install minimum landscaping along urban corridors as part
of a regular state right-of-way construction project as long as the municipality involved
agrees to execute a Landscape Maintenance Memorandum of Agreement (MMOA) with
FDOT, accepting full maintenance responsibility over the landscaped area. Miami Beach
has executed several similar agreements in the past where minimum landscaping was
maintained and financed by the City.
The City must execute the attached MMOA for the landscaping portion (median and
roadside areas) of the Indian Creek Drive resurfacing project. The limits of this project
extend from 350 feet south of 63rd Street to just north of Abbott Avenue (0.6 mile). The
Project construction is scheduled to begin in May 2006.
The Parks and Recreation Department reviewed the MMOA and with FDOT concurrence
added the following to Sub-Section 8.1, "FDOT authorizes the City to act as its agent
with respect to recovery of damages and plant material loss due to automobile
accidents."
The Greenspace Management Division of the Parks and Recreation Department
estimates this project will cost the City approximately $40,000 a year to perform the
landscape maintenance duties established by this MMOA.
The proposed MMOA supports the City Key Intended Outcome of ensuring well-
designed quality capital projects.
