Odio City Manager RECOMMENDATION: DATE MAY • 1 1988 SUBJECT Resolution to Bayfront Park Phase I REFERENCES ENCLOSURES Resolution "LE B•3205•D Reduce Retainage Redevelopment It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to reduce the retainage in the contract between the City of Miami and PNM Corporation from 10% to 7.5%. BACKGROUND: The Director of Public Works agrees that the reductions of retainage on this project will not affect the control and ultimate completion of the project and therefore recommends the reduction in retainage. The City of Miami is currently holding a 10% retainage on payments to the contractor on the Bayfront Park Phase I construction project, in accordance with the terms of the contract. Included in this 10% retainage is payment for work that is funded by Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) and Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grants. In order for the City to receive reimbursement for work funded by the grants, from the granting agencies, payment must first be made by the contractor. Normally, the City would wait until all work is completed on the project and then seek reimbursement from the granting agency, but in this case the time limit for reimbursement for the grants is nearly expired and a timely application for reimbursement is required.
