(For Commission of \� ( December 8, 1983) The Department of Public Works recommends the adoption of a resolution authorizing an increase in the contract amount of $11,850 in the contract between the City of :Miami, Florida and Better Construction, Inc., said funds to be provided from funds already appropriated to the project; further ratifying the City Manager's written finding that the herein increase resulted from emergency circumstances by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of the City Commission and adopting the findings and conclusions set forth in the preamble of this resolution. A contract in the amount of $1,910,934 was awarded to Better Construction, Inc., for the construction of Jose Marti Riverfront Park on May 8, 1982. The contract amount was increased on July 28, 1983 by $35,000 to cover additional cost of work at the river bulkhead. On July 18, 1983 by Resolution No. 83-652 the Commission authorized Orlando Lopez Dirube to create a mural for the park, and it became necessary for the contractor working on the project to construct the support wall for the mural. The cost of the wall is $11,850, and no funds remained in the contract to cover the cost. Therefore an increase in contract amount is necessary. Funds to cover the increase in contract amount were appropriated by amendments made to Ordinance No. 953ZA. cn November 16, 1983. The Directors of the Departments of Public Works and Parks recommend that the increase be authorized. Attached to this memorandum are additional documents necessary for an increase in contract amount greater than $10,000. They are: 1. A written finding for your signature that an emergency situation exists. 2. A memorandum from you to the City Clerk authorizing him to advertise for a public hearing. 3. A suggested text for the advertisement for a public hearing. �L:Vh 84-'77 TO, FILE FROM Howard V . Gary City Manager I i CITY OF MIAMI. FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE: November 18, 1983 FILE.
