SUBJECT: Approval of Emergency
Action for the Fence at
Elizabeth Virrick Park

ENCLOSURES:
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt
the attached Resolution, by a 4/5th affirmative vote, ratifying,
approving and confirming the City Manager's finding and
recommendation to proceed on an emergency basis with the
purchase and installation of a steel picket fence at Elizabeth
Virrick Park, from Professional Welding, Inc. in a total amount
not to exceed $121,000. This Resolution further allocates funds
for said purposes, from the Community Development Block Grant
Funds Program (CDBG).
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Parks and Recreation requested a finding of an
emergency in order to complete the installation of the fence
prior to the August 16th United Way Kickoff campaign at the park
and to expend the funds for this project before September 30th, a
requirement of the CDBG program.
The old fence at this Park was a chain link one which was rusty
and in disrepair. Although the replacement of this chain link
fence with a steel picket one was always planned for this
facility, it had to be purchased sooner than expected because
painting it by volunteers became a high priority for the United
Way Kickoff Campaign. As a result, the city saved some money in
not having the fencing contractor paint it. Additionally, the
fence has contributed greatly to securing the Park.
The Department of Parks and
four (4) vendors of which
Professional Welding, Inc., at
� r A,
CAG/FKR/AR/sb
Recreation solicited quotes from
the lowest responsive bidder was
the lowest amount of $121,000.

5l M`ECT Emergency Picket Fence
at Elizabeth Virrick Park
REFERENCES,
ENC'..GSURS: '
The Department of Parks and Recreation respectfully requests your approval, on an emergency basis, to
proceed with the purchase and installation of a steel picket fence at Elizabeth Virrick Park in Coconut
Grove in an amount not to exceed $121,000, It is essential to complete the installation of the proposed
steel picket fence as soon as possible since there is strict spending and time constraints in the use of
federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds earmarked for this work. These funds
need to be expended prior to September 30, 2001. It should also be pointed out that the proposed fence
will ' not only provide additional protection to the new recreational building .and indoor basketball court
currently under construction at the park but also will offer added safety to the pool and other park facilities.
The proposed steel picket fence to be installed around the perimeter of Elizabeth Virrick Park will have a
top bent outward at a 180 degree for added protection. A flat cap will be placed on top of each picket for
extra safety.
The Department of Parks and Recreation has solicited quotes from four (4) vendors and has received two
(2) quotations since two (2) of the four (4) companies declined to bid on this project. The lowest
responsible and responsive bidder for the proposed work is Professional Welding, Inc., a City of Miami
based vendor. Please note that due to a shortage of available funds for capital improvement projects like
this, it will not include a contingency amount.
The funding sources for this purchase is Community Development Block Grant Program funds. Please be
advised that once the work is completed, we will be presenting legislation at the next available City
Commission meeting to ratify this emergency action.
