Donald W.' Cather Ir,. _F, Resolution for Increase in
Director -of Pu 'c W rks Incidental Expense Funds
(For Commission Meeting of
May 12, 198 3 )
It is recommended that a resolution be
adopted authorizing an increase in the
fund allocated to cover the cost of such
items as advertising, testing laborato-
ries and postage, not to exceed $5,000
for the City of Miami/University of
Miami James L. Knight International
Center - Entrance Canopy project.
When the contract was awarded to MET Construction, Inc., for the
construction of the City of Miami/University of Miami James L.
Knight International Center - Entrance Canopy project, by Reso-
lution No. 83-29, dated January 13, 1983 the standard formula
for estimating the incidental expense needed for the project was
used. We failed to note that the contract documents required
extensive laboratory testing of the welds in the structural steel
frame the contractor was to build. The extensive testing is re-
quired because of the excessive wind loads the canopy is likely
to receive during hurricanes.
It is necessary to increase the appropriation for incidental
expense on this project by an amount not to exceed $5,000 to
cover the additional cost involved. Allan Poms, Director,
Convention Center, has verified that funds for the increase are
available from the original source of funding of the project,
the account entitled, "City of Miami/University of Miami James
L. Knight International Center and Parking Garage."
