SUBJECT: Extension of Professional

(For Commission Meeting
ENCLOSURES: of July 24, 1986)
It is recommended that the City Commission
adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager
to extend the term of the Professional Services
Agreement with Vincent E. Grimm, Jr. from
August 1, 1986 through July 31, 1987 for
Professional Consultant Services primarily in
connection with the World Trade Center Project
and at the same fixed monthly payment for said
services as provided by said Agreement.
The City of Miami continues to have a vital interest in achieving
the completion of the World Trade Center project. There have been
continuing delays on completion of both the Parking Garage and the
CenTrust Tower. Although the public spaces in the Garage and
Tower Lobby are scheduled to be substantially completed by the end
of this year, the total project is not expected to be completed
until mid 1987.
This project involves various contracts and complex relationships
between the City, CenTrust Savings (Tower Developer) and Miami
Center Associates (Garage Turnkey contractor). There is now
significant litigation underway in connection with the project and
the City has many concerns and interests in the outcome.
The City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with
Vincent E. Grimm, Jr. because he has been involved with the
project since its inception and it is in the best interest of the
City that his involvement be continued. The existing Agreement
established a fixed monthly payment of $2500 for said services and
will terminate on July 31, 1986.
It is therefore recommended that the Agreement with Mr. Grimm be
extended for 12 months at the same fixed monthly rate in order to
assist the City in resolving the many problems and concerns
related to -the project. Monies are available for these services
in the City of Miami/University of Miami James L. Knight
International Center Construction Account.
