ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully requested that the City Commission adopt the
attached Resolution amending Section 2 of Resolution 93-729,
adopted November 23, 1993, which approved a grant of an easement to
Dade County, Miami Dade Water and Sewer Authority Department,
consisting of a 20 ft. strip of land on Bicentennial Park, for the
purpose of constructing, installing and maintaining a 36-inch water
main; thereby providing that said grant of an easement be to
Metropolitan Dade County.
BACKGROUND:
On November 23, 1993, the City Commission approved a Grant of
Easement to Dade County, Miami Dade Water and Sewer Authority
Department for a strip of land 20 feet in width located on
Bicentennial Park.
The County Code prohibits WASA from directly owning land and
instead Dade County holds title on all land used by WASA. It is
appropriate at this time to amend Resolution 93-729 to change the
name of the Grantee from Metropolitan Dade County, Miami Dade Water
and Sewer Authority Department, to Metropolitan Dade County.
This easement will be used for the installation of a new 36-inch
water main which will replace the existing 20-inch water main which
serves Watson Island and Miami Beach. As the existing 20-inch
water main is located on the existing MacArthur Causeway bridge, it
is necessary to have the new 36-inch water main installed and
operational prior to demolition of the old bridge.
In exchange for the privilege of this Grant of Easement, WASA will
construct, install, operate and maintain two 12-inch ductile iron
water main connections and construct and install for the City's
future use one 12-inch ductile iron sanitary sewer main, crossing
MacArthur Causeway. These improvements have an estimated value of
$45,000.
