FLGRIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM 29 TO Honorable Mayor and DATE Members of the City Commission SUBJECT FROM Ces dio Cit er REFERENCES ENCLOSURES AM 2 6 1994 FILE Increase in Contract With Associates Construction, Corporation - St. Hugh Oaks Village Condominiums City Commission Agenda Item - May 5, 1994 It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution approving an increase in the contract between the City of Miami and Associates Construction, Corporation dated December 12, 1992, in the amount of $116,000 in connection with the development of twenty-three (23) new single family homes on the city -owned St. Hugh Oaks parcel in the Coconut Grove neighborhood. The Department of Development and Housing Conservation recommends ratification of the attached resolution approving an increase in the contract between the City of Miami and Associates Construction, Corporation dated December 12, 1992, in the amount of $116,000, in connection with the development of twenty-three (23) new single family homes on the 'city -owned St. Hugh Oaks parcel in the Coconut Grove neighborhood. In October of 1992, through Resolution No. 92-660, the City Commission accepted the bid of Associates Construction, Corporation in the amount of $2,258,000 and authorized the City Manager to execute a contract in connection with the development of twenty-three (23) new single family homes on the city -owned St. Hugh Oaks parcel. After the execution of the contract between the City and Associates Construction, Corporation, a number of unexpected cost increases have been experienced relative to the new South Florida Building Code requirements imposed as a result of Hurricane Andrew, increases in construction materials as well as new requirements imposed by Dade County's Department of Water and Sewer. The project cost overruns were further exacerbated by the more than seven (7) month delay in the commencement of 94- 331 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Page 2 construction on the St. Hugh Oaks Village Condominium Project due to the new construction water/sewer moratorium imposed by Metropolitan Dade County in early February of 1993. In,an effort to ascertain whether the cost overruns submitted by Associates Construction, Corporation were in fact realistic, the Department of Development and Housing Conservation retained the services of Mr. Henry Kaufman, a construction expert associated with the architectural firm of Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater- Zyberk, Architects, and it has been determined that the cost increases are in line with the cost increases which have been experienced by the construction industry in South Florida over the past year. Funds in the amount of $116,000 are available from Capital Improvement Program Project entitled "Building Sales", Project No. 321034, (proceeds from the sale of affordable housing units) to provide the aforementioned cost increase in connection with the development of the city -sponsored St. Hugh Oaks Village Condominium Project. In an effort to complete the construction of the twenty-three (23) new single family homes being developed on the St. Hugh Oaks parcel, City Commission ratification of the attached resolution is recommended.
