SUBJECT CURTIS PARK ELDERLY MEALS
FACILITY - Resolution for
Reduction of Retainage
REFERENCES:
y g ENCLOSURES: (For Commission Meeting
of October 24, 1985)
The Department of Public Works recommends
adoption of the attached resolution reducing
the 10% retainage on the Curtis Park Elderly
Meals Facility project to 2.5%.
There exists a contract dated March 15, 1985 between the City of
Miami and F and L Construction Company, Inc., in the amount of
$466,325.00 for the construction of Curtis Park Elderly Meals
Facility. The contractor has substantially completed all of the
work shown on the plans and specifications, and is currently per-
forming extra work ordered after the final inspection, held on
September 18, 1985. We delayed ordering the extra work until we
could determine that funds to pay '.or it would be available from
the money allocated for the project.
The contractor will not be able to complete the extra work for
three to four weeks, and the Public Works Department believes it
would be imposing an unjustified and unnecessary hardship upon
him to withhold the full 10% retainage until we are ready to make
final payment, and the Director of Public Works recommends that
the retainage be reduced to 2.5%. It should be noted that the
performance of the extra work will not hinder the use of the
completed building, which is now in full use.
