CL�_ Contract Amount
(For Commission Meeting of
March 10, 1983)
The Departments of Public Works and Parks recommend
the adoption of a resolution authorizing the City
Manager to reduce the retainage from 10% to 2k% for
The Miami Riverwalk and The City of Miami/University
of Miami James L. Knight International Center Land-
scaping - Base Bid Plus Additive Item C.
The contractor on the project, S. I. Nicholas, Inc., has completed
all the work shown on the plans and in the specifications and has
now at the request of the City begun preparations to do extra work
pertaining to the placements of paver covered slabs around the tree
cutouts in the Riverwalk area. He has quoted a satisfactory price
for the work, but his price was conditional upon the Public Works
Department requesting the Commission to reduce his retainage on the
project from 10% to 2k% so that he would not be denied the use of
his money while waiting for materials to do the extra work.
The extra work the contractor has been engaged to do will be paid
for from the cash allowance, and the work will not interfere with
the use of the Riverwalk or the adjacent convention facilities.
The Public Works and the Parks Department concur with reducing the
retainage and recommend that the City Commission authorize the City
Manager to reduce the retainage from 10% to 2k%.
