SUBJECT MIAMI GRAND PRIX ROAD
CLOSING - Permit Request
REFERENCES ( For Commission Meeting of
January 12, 1984)
ENCLOSURES:
It is recommended that the Citv
Commission authorize the City manager
to sign a request for the temporary
closing of a state road, namely
Biscayne Boulevard (State Road 5) in
order to conduct the Miami Grand Prix
race, per the attached resolution.
On December 9, 1982, the City Commission approved Resolution No.
82-1121 authorizing the City Manager to request the temporary
closing of State Road 5 (Biscayne Boulevard) for the purpose of
conducting the 1983 Miami Grand Prix Auto Race.
In order to stage the race in February of 1984, it is necessary to
close the same portion of State Road 5 (Biscayne Boulevard). The
State of Florida Department of Transportation requires that a
permit for the road closing be obtained from them by the City of
Miami.
As part of the standard permit request, the City would be required
to assume all responsibility for traffic control and any liability
claims arising from or based upon the activities of this event. By
state law the City's liability is limited to one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,000.00) for any individual claim and two hundred
thousand dollars ($200,000.00) total for any one incident.
In turn, the City has sought protection in the license agreement
insurance requirements. The licensee is required to indemnify, hold
harmless, save and defend the City, its officers and employees
against any and all claims, liens, liability, loss or damage and
also required to obtain and keep in force a liability policy in
comprehensive form in the amount of not less than twenty million
dollars ($20,000,000.00) combined single limits for bodily injury
and property damage. The City andthe State are to be additional
named insured under the poliby.

December 30, 1983
It is recommended that the City Manager be authorized to sign
the permit request for the closing of Biscayne Boulevard for the
race, since the liability coverage and obligations of the licensee
far exceed the limits of litigation to which the City will be
exposed.
