ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached resolution authorizing an increase in contract in the
amount of $180,000.00 in the contract between the City of Miami,
Florida and Danville-Findorff, Inc, for the construction of
BAYFRONT PARK REDEVELOPMENT - PH. III CIP Project No. 331302;
said funds to be provided from the Capital Improvements Ordinance
No. 10521 with funds already allocated to the project; further
ratifying the City Manager's written finding that the herein
increase resulted from emergency circumstances by an affirmative
vote of four -fifths of the members of the City Commission and
adopting the finding and conclusions set forth in the preamble of
this resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Public Works evaluated the elements which
remained to be constructed as part of the Bayfront Park
Redevelopment project, and determined that there existed a real
need for the construction of these items under the existing
contract and that it is in the best interest of the City to
increase the contract amount on this project by an amount not to
exceed $180,000.00
The plans and specifications for the redevelopment of the
Bayfront Park did not include design for construction of handicap
facilities and ramps, as mandated by federal standards.

The design professionals involved with the project and City Staff
have concurred that having this work performed by the contractor
already on the job was in the best interest of the City. Closing
out this project and re -bidding it to other contractors would
have created a substantial delay in completion of the park. In
addition to this, a new contractor at the site would have
resulted in more mobilization charges and a potential weakening
in guarantees and accountability, since the second- contractor
would have interfaced with the original contractor's work.
Funding to cover this increase in contract is available in the
gayfront Park Redevelopment Ph. III Project, CIP No. 331302. As
required by City ordinances, an increase of $10,000 or more in a
City contract must be accompanied by a finding by the City
Manager that the increase resulted from emergency circumstances,
and such a finding has been prepared and signed.

Emergency Need for Increase
REFERENCESI n Contract
ENCLOSURES
Based on information supplied to me by the Director of the
Department of Public Works, I have found that there exists
an emergency need for an increase in contract amount of
$180,000.00 in the contract between the City of Miami,
Florida and Danville-Findorff, Inc. for the construction of
Bayfront Park Redevelopment Ph. III.
The reason for the emergency need is as follows:
The plans and specifications for the redevelopment of
Bayfront Park did not include extensive unforeseen
modifications that arose during the construction
phase of the project. These included construction of
handicap facilities as mandated by federal standards.
This work needed to be accomplished by the contractor
working on the project in order to save time and
adhere to City commitments for the completion of the
park. The design professionals involved with the
project and City Staff concurred that including this
work under the existing contract was to be in the
best interest of the City.
