Resolution authorizing
Reduction in Retainage
REMENCEB:
ENCLOSURES. (For Commission Meeting
of June 14, 1984)
The Department of Public Works recommends the
adoption of a resolution authorizing a
reduction in the retainage from 10% to k of
1% in the contract between the City of Miami
and Better Construction, Inc., for the
construction of Jose Marti Riverfront Park.
There exists a contract dated May 11, 1982 between the City of
Miami and Better Construction, Inc., for construction of Jose
Marti Riverfront Park. (This project is now referred to as
Phase I, since we have begun construction of Phase II).
The contractor has essentially completed all of the work under
the contract, and we have taken beneficial use of all of the
improvements provided by the work. This includes the swimming
pool, the dock area, the cafe building, and the north end of
the park. The use of some of these improvements is somewhat
restricted by the construction of Phase II now going on at the
site. By happenstance, Better Construction, Inc., is the con-
tractor on the Phase II project also.
We are in disagreement with Better Construction, Inc., concern-
ing several minor items of work. The resolution of these items
would not affect the use of the park, and the additional cost to
the City, if any, is expected to be minor. The delay in the
resolution of these disagreements has not been entirely the fault
of the contractor, and the Director of the Department of Parks
and Recreation concurs with me that the resolution of them is not
sufficient justification to continue to withhold the 10% retain -
age as stipulated by the contract documents. Therefore, myself
and the Director of the Department of Parks and Recreation recom-
mend a resolution authorizing the reduction in the retainage
from 10% to k of 1%.
