Conference Center ENCLOSURES
Since Commission action to extend E.P. Iaconis' (CPA) contract
to audit the Convention Center Construction Contract has been
delayed, he has agreed to proceed with the audit work under
the City Manager's authority. On this basis and as agreed at
the meeting with Frank J. Rooney, Inc. on 4/12/83,
E.P. Iaconis is proceeding with the audit.
It is recommended that the proposed Resolution to extend the
Auditor's contract be put on the next City Commission Meeting
Agenda. If possible, it should be considered to include it on
the Agenda for the Planning & Zoning Meeting scheduled for
May 31, 1983.

Honorable Mayor and A P
Members of the City
Commission - Proposed Resolution to Extend
the Auditor's Contract for
the Convention Center Project
Howard V. Gary � "=5
City Manager
It is recommended that the proposed resolution
be adopted by the City Commission in its meeting
of April 28, 1983, whereby the City Manager is
authorized to extend the existing Professional
Services Agreement with E.P. Iaconis, Certified
Public Accountant, for special cost review and
audits as necessary and as determined by the
City Manager for the City of Miami/University of
Miami James L. Knight International Center Project;
further authorizing the expenditure of additional
funds not to exceed $45,000 for the aforesaid
services from the Construction Account established
from the sale of Convention Center and Parking
Garage Revenue Bonds unless further expressly
authorized by the City Commission.
The construction of the Convention Center Project is substantially
complete and there is a need to audit the City's contract with
Frank J. Rooney Inc. on the general construction in order to make
final payment. The contract is a "Cost of the Work plus a fee
with Guaranteed Maximum Cost" and the contract must be audited
in order to establish a final cost as provided by the contract
and to ensure that all expenditures were appropriate. As a result
of a preliminary audit, we found several matters of concern
requiring a comprehensive audit to verify the expenditures by
the Contractor.
In addition, there is a need for cost review concerning operation
and maintenance expenditures to be allocated to the City and its
lessees on an equitable basis.
It is essential that these auditing services proceed immediately.
The rate of compensation to E.P. Iaconis, Certified Public Accountant,
will remain the same as contained in the current agreement dated
September 3, 1982.
