RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution by a 4/5°' affirmative vote, ratifying, approving; and confirming the City Manager's finding and recommendation to proceed on an emergency basis to conduct the necessary work at the Watson Island Boat Ramp, accepting the low bid of Shoreline Foundation, Inc., a company located at 2781 S.W. 561h Avenue, Pembroke Park, Florida, whose principal is James Royo, President, for the project entitled "Watson Island Boat Ramp Improvements Project", received on June 22, 2001, in the amount of $14,600.00 total proposed bid, and authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract on behalf of the City. BACKGROUND On June 7, 2001, the City Manager made a written finding that improvements to the Watson Island public boat ramp were of an emergency nature. The improvements include the placement of rip rap boulders on filter fabric along the existing concrete boat ramp slabs and adjacent shoreline. The purpose for this emergency work was to keep sand, silt and rocks from being deposited on the boat ramp surfaces as caused by wave action. On June 22, 2001, informal bids were received and the lowest responsive and responsible bid, in the amount of $14,600.00, was from Shoreline Foundation, Inc. Funds are available from CIP Project No. 333126, Account No. 669301.6.860. CAG/DB /ARW/EN/sg t)1-931. CITY OF MIAMI.

FLORIDA 9 INTER -OFFICE 1701Eh1ORANDUNI Dena Bianchino = June 7, 2001 Assistant City Manager Watson Island Boat Ramp e Improvements Emergency Procurement Arleen R. Weintraub, Acting Director Department of Real Estate & Economic Development The Watson Island Boat Ramp Project was the first phase of reconstruction improvements for a total boat launching facility project. The completed boat ramp has an obvious problem with significant amounts of sand and silt on both the concrete ramp slabs and on the asphalt apron. This condition allows very little traction for the vehicles launching boats. The main cause of sand, small rocks, and silt on the concrete ramp appears to be wave action of the water bringing in this material from the adjacent shoreline and from the wash down from the unpaved upper land areas. At this time, we are requesting the City Manager's approval of an emergency, and waiving competitive procurement for the placement of rip rap boulders and filter fabric on the sides of the boat ramp slabs. Funds at an estimated project cost of $7,500.00 are available from Project No. 333126 to cover the cost of the work and environmental permits are in hand in order to expedite these improvements. Please note that the upland parking areas are under design and will be bid as a separate phase two project. For any additional information, please contact Enrique Nunez of my staff at extension 1419.
