As required by Section 255.20, Florida Statutes, and in accordance with the Section 18-
85 (a) of the City Code of the City of Miami, the City Commission of the City of Miami,
Miami -Dade County, Florida, will conduct a public hearing in the Commission Chambers
of Miami City Hall, 3500 Pan American Drive, Miami, Florida, on Wednesday, March 4,
2009 at 9 a.m., to consider whether it is practicable or advantageous and in the public's
best interest to waive competitive sealed bids in connection with the construction of
public infrastructure associated with the proposed Florida Marlins ballpark (the "Public
Infrastructure Work") and authorize the award of the Public Infrastructure Work to
Hunt/Moss, a Joint Venture. The Public Infrastructure Work is estimated to cost
$24,000,000 (to be funded by Miami -Dade County and the City of Miami). The Public
Infrastructure Work is located in the vicinity of NW 7 Street and NW 14 Avenue, Miami,
Florida (the site area of the former Orange Bowl).
The City Manager will present written findings to the City Commission which shall
contain reasons supporting the conclusion that competitive sealed bidding is not
practicable or advantageous to the City, which finding must be ratified and the contract
award approved by an affirmative vote of four—fifths 4/5`h of the City Commission.
All interested parties may appear and be heard at the time and place specified.
This waiver of competitive sealed bidding had been previously advertised to be heard at a
hearing which was continued to March 12, 2009. It will now be considered at the Special
Meeting of the Miami City Commission on March 4, 2009 instead of March 12, 2009.
Persons who decide to appeal any decision made by any City Commission with respect to
any matter considered at its meeting or hearing, will need a record of the proceedings.
Such persons may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made,
including the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based.
