WHEREAS, in the early 1980s the world-renowned sculptor
Isamu Noguchi was authorized by the City of Miami to prepare a
redevelopment plan for Bayfront Park; and
WHEREAS, the original concept of the Noguchi Plan for the
South end of the Park, known as the Chopin Plaza area, included
various amenities including a restaurant area at an estimated
cost of approximately $2.3 million; and
WHEREAS, in 1990, in accordance with Motion No. 90-385, the
Department of Public Works approved a plan for the development of
the Chopin Plaza area which included a small amphitheater and
stage to accommodate small events and artistic performances by
neighborhood groups, with seating for approximately 250 persons;
and
WHEREAS, although this plan met the original limitations of
the City, it was rejected by the Bayfront Park Management Trust
(Trust); and
WHEREAS, the Trust recommended that the Administration
reevaluate both the Noguchi Plan and the plan approved by the
Department of Public Works and, by incorporating certain elements
of each, develop plans which would meet the budget limitations;
and
WHEREAS, pursuant to such direction, the Administration
further modified the plans to incorporate a stage within the
scaled down Noguchi concept, thereby meeting the budgetary
requirements and obtaining the approval and recommendation of the
Trust; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary that all shop drawings, bidding
requirements and other related documents be prepared for the
issuance of a Request for Proposal and it is likely that the
Public Works Department can prepare those contract documents
needed for the City to issue Invitation for Bids for the planned
development of the Chopin Plaza area in the South end of Mildred
and Claude Pepper Bayfront Park within currently appropriated
limitations for said development;
