ENCLOSURES:
RECOMMENDATION
In the interest of maintaining continuity of work and to avoid undue additional costs, it was
determined to be in the City's best interest to allow Giannetti Contracting Corp. (Giannetti) to perform
additional work deemed necessary and performed for the "North Bayshore Drive Drainage
Improvements Project, B-50658" (Project) due to unforeseen conditions and owner requested
changes, such as utility conflicts, additional signage, Royal Palm relocations, relocation of encased
electrical cables, and installation of a conflict manhole and other elements, in the not to exceed
amount of $220,182.
We recommend that the City Commission concur to waive the formal requirements set forth in the
Code of the City of Miami, as amended, in Section 18-85, and under Florida Statutes Section
255.0525 and 255.20, and affirm and adopt these findings, in order to increase the award value and
retroactively authorize the additional work.
Approval has also been requested for additional planned work, which does not require a waiver of
competitive bidding procedures, which includes CRA requested skate board deterrents on the
bulkhead walls at Margaret Pace Park, in the not to exceed amount of $5,454.
This Amendment No. 1 would thus increase the award amount by $225,636, for a total not to exceed
award amount of $1,609,365.24.
