Ordinance to establish a Special Revenue SUBJECT Fund for Overtown Aesthetic Improvement Project REFERENCES. City Commission Meeting of May 23, 2002 ENCLOSURES: RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Ordinance authorizing the City Manager to establish initial resources and appropriations for a Special Revenue Fund and execute a Local Agency Program (LAP) Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), and to accept and expend a grant in an amount not to exceed $250,000.00 for Overtown Aesthetic Improvements, consisting of $23,200.00 for design and construction document preparation fees, $5,800.00 in budget estimate for construction administration, and the balance as the maximum allowance for direct reimbursable expenses related to the construction of the project, which includes but is not limited to Landscaping, Signage, Irrigation and Special Art Features under the expressway. BACKGROUND. The Department of Planning and Zoning, with assistance from the City of Miami Public Works Department, has prepared the attached legislation to establish a Special Revenue Fund for the Overtown Aesthetic Improvements Project. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING FACILITY: Currently, the area underneath the I-395 facility is visually unpleasant and evokes a feeling of apprehension to anyone in the vicinity. Due to the east -west configuration of the freeway and its single span structure, little sunlight is able to penetrate it. This makes it very dark throughout the entire day underneath I-395 and uninhabitable for plant life. There is little or no landscaping along the corridor and many areas are in need of maintenance. Garbage litters most of the corridor and panhandlers, homeless people, and drug dealers use the space beneath the overpass as a haven. Pedestrian pathways along this corridor are generally unlit and are a safety concern after hours. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORK: Five areas have been chosen as the best candidates for short-term landscaping efforts within the Overtown area. These locations were determined based on studies conducted by the Florida International University on "Mitigating Transportation Impacts in Overtown, a Feasibility Analysis of the Proposed Overtown Improvements" prepared for the Florida Department of Transportation by the consulting firm of Dames & Moore, current & future Pedestrian/bicycle use, gateway image, current beautification efforts, locations of business, and proximity to schools, parks, and recreational areas. 12238 The firm of Wallace Roberts & Todd, LLC is recommended to provide design services and project management for this project. Wallace Roberts & Todd, LLC (WRT), a non -minority owned firm located in Coral Gables, Florida, has been in business for several years as a design professionals and has designed major landscape and streetscape projects throughout the world. This firm has left a previous mark on the Overtown community, and it is through their design expertise we can continue to improve urban quality of life near transit systems. The desire for more sustainable development patterns is urging many communities - suburban and urban alike - to encourage new forms of public transit. Many communities are using transportation infrastructure as a catalyst for economic development. WRTs background in urban redevelopment adds important value to transit planning projects by stimulating opportunities and creating synergies between transit and surrounding uses. ... making places, better. pedestrian mail is a redevelopment project that provides better access to and a lively context for the Metrorail station. They have been pre -qualified to provide services to the City of Miami per Resolution 99-708, as amended on June 14, 2001, for Pre -selected Engineering, Land Survey and Architectural/Landscape Architectural Services. The Budgetary ImBact of this project is $250,000.00. A 4W CAG/B/ /CPT/GDG/gdg x.2238 Budgetary Impact Analysis 1. Department Planning & Zoning Division Community Planning 2.
