work; and
WHEREAS, the original scope ("Original Project") of the Curtis Park Playground and Vita Course
Improvements Project includes, among other things, purchase and installation of a new playground,
which have been completed with other sources of funds, and which Original Project was previously
amended by the City of Miami ("City") and the County to add purchase and installation of vita course
equipment (the "Amended Project"); and
