Resolution to Reduce Retainage
Donald W. Cather
Dir ctor of Pu Works (For Commission Meeting
4 of March 11, 1982)
The Department of Public Works, the Department
of Parks, and the Office of Community Development
recommend adoption of a resolution accepting the
completed work on the Coconut Grove Mini Park
project and authorizing the City Manager to reduce
the 10% retainage on the project to 15,
Sunset Enterprises, Inc., has satisfactorily completed all work
covered by the contract between him and the City of Miami dated
February 11, 1981 for the construction of Coconut Grove Mini Park.
The park is being used by the City. It is located at the south-
west corner of Grand Avenue and Elizabeth Street.
The contractor has filed a claim with the Department of Public
Works for extra compensation for delays caused to the project by
the City. He is also claiminf that he is suffering; financial loss
because the final payment on the project is being delayed.
The Department of Public Wori,s and the Department of Parks need
additional time to evalu-'te the contractor's claim for extra compen-
sation, but to eliminate one of his claims, we recommend the
adoption of a resolution that will reduce the retainage on the
project from 10' to 1;�. After the contractor's claim has been resolved
we will request Commission action to authorize final pa,iment on the
project. The contractor's claims, if found valid, will probably
require an increase in the contract amount.
