BACKGROUND The Department of Public Works, in an effort to serve all residents of the City of Miami, has determined that it is now appropriate and in order for the City Commission to ratify the City Manager's decision to increase the contract dated January 13, 1994, between the City and Horizon Contractors, Inc., for construction of Overtown Community Development Street Improvement --Phase I, B-4553, in the amount of $43,000.00 for necessary extra work, and to ratify the City Manager's emergency finding that allowed the extra work to continue. The City Commission awarded a contract to Horizon Contractors, Inc., for the construction of Overtown Community Development Street Improvement• -Phase I, in the amount of $64,555.42 on January 13, 1994. Generally, the project consisted of constructing street improvements to N.W. Miami Court between N.W. 19 Street and N.W. 20 Street that included clearing and grading, construction of asphaltic pavement, concrete sidewalk, and curb and gutter and construction of storm drainage facilities. An alternate bid was received during bidding to extend the improvements one block to include the rebuilding of N.W. Miami Court from N.W. 18 Street to N.W. 19 Street, At the time of the award sufficient funds were not available for this work. Since that time Community Development funds have become available. 94- 533 �y_1 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Page 2 Underground and above ground utilities have been relocated on N.W.
