C11 The Department of Public Works and the Department of Parks recommend adoption of the attached resolution rescinding Resolution 82-543; and voiding the contract between The City of Miami and Pavement Maintenance Corporation; and rejecting all bids. On May 25, 1982, bids were received for SIMON BOLIVAR PLAZA, with funds for the project to have been provided by the Republic of Venezuela. The low bidder was Pavement Maintenance Corporation. A contract was awarded to Pavement Maintenance Corporation on June 17, 1982. However, funds for the project are still not available from Venezuela. The contractor, after all this time, has requested that the City return his performance bond, thereby releasing him from the contract. It is now in order for the City Commission to adopt the attached resolution which rescinds Resolution 82-543, and voids the contract with Pavement Maintenance Corporation; the attached resolution also rejects all other bids received on May 25, 1982 for this project. INP:he Resolution attached 0 ,,. - a I r A- -A..l .+. J i T� Howard V. Gary City Manager Carl Kern, Director Department of Parks November 18, 1982 Simon Bolivar Plaza Attached for distribution to the Mayor and Commissioners are copies of correspondence between the Parks Department and the Consul General of Venezuela dated May 28, August 12 and November 15, 1982, regarding the funding for Simon Bolivar Plaza. Bids for the construction of the Plaza were received on May 25, 1982, and the low bidder has been on hold since then as the funds for the project have never been supplied by the government of Venezuela. It is our recommendation that the return of the bid bond for Simon Bolivar Plaza be placed on the December 9th City Commission agenda. If future funding becomes available for this project, a re -advertisement for bids will again be placed. CK/SLM/cg Enclosures 82--1115 May 28, 1982 honorable Enrique G.
