BACKGROUND:
The State of Florida Department of Transportation ("FDOT") is planning to expand the access ramps
along Le Jeune Road near Miami International Airport as part of the proposed construction of the Miami
Intermodal Center. FDOT has requested that all utilities in conflict with their proposed construction, be
relocated prior to the commencement of construction.
Florida Power & Light Company has requested that they be granted an easement from the City of Miami
("City") in order to relocate utility facilities that service only Melreese Golf Course and adjacent City -
owned property as needed. FPL shall, at its sole cost and expense, construct, operate and maintain
overhead and underground electric utility facilities (including wires, poles, guys, cables, conduits and
appurtenant equipment) to be installed from time to time; with the right to reconstruct, improve, change
the voltage, and remove such facilities or any of them within the easement, with full right of ingress
thereto and egress therefrom. In the event this easement is disconnected or abandoned, the easement will
cease and revert to the City.
Financial Impact: There is no financial impact to the City's general fund.
