BACKGROUND e 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 contract6dated December 16, 1992 between the City and Shoreline Foundation, Inc. for construction of Robert King High Park - Bridge Repairs B-2950 in the amount of $8,130 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 Shoreline Foundation, Inc. for the construction of Robert King High Park - Bridge Repairs, Project No. 331315, in the amount of $30,638 on December 10, 1992. Generally, the project consisted of constructing miscellaneous structural repairs and modifications at the Robert King High Park bridge located at 7025 West Flagler Street. As the construction progressed, some unexpected conditions and problems were discovered that required immediate remedial action. These problems were directly related to the severe deterioration of the bridge and are outlined below: 1. Extension of steel channel to the pedestrian bridge to provide more support for a deteriorated section. 2. Replacement of four 3" x 12" P.T. wood sub -deck timbers with new 3" x 12" timbers due to excessive deterioration discovered after stripping the existing surface. 3. Fabrication of one steel bracket for support assembly.) �t' 93- 663 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Page 2 4. Remobilization of equipment due to further collapse of the base at the south asphalt approach. 5. Construction of one concrete support at south approach to bridge. 6. Installation of additional 1" thick hot -mix asphalt ! paving to replace existing deteriorated paving. It was decided that the most cost effective and expeditious manner to address all of the above problems was to allow Shoreline Foundation, Inc. to proceed with the extra work and complete the construction of the bridge repairs as soon as possible. Failure to expeditiously correct the aforementioned problems could have endangered the health, safety and welfare of our citizens.
