Emergency Finding) Execution of
Amendment No. 1 and 2 for agreement
with the South Florida water Management
EPENceipiStrict
ENCLOS.
This memo serves to request your adoption of a "Finding of an Emergency" for the execution of
Amendment Nos. t and 2 for the Grant Agreement between the City and the South Florida
Water Management District (SFWMD) for the Pinehurst Stormwater Drainage Project and
Flagami, West End and Fairlawn Projects, The amendments extended the City's period of
performance by a total of forty-five (45) months to December 13, 2006, Increased the grant
amount by $750,000 to a total of $2,000,000, amended the statement of work to add in the
Pinehurst Stormwater Drainage Project, and revised the payment and deliverables schedule.
The nature of the emergency stems from the tight deadlines imposed by the grant agency and
the need to execute the amendments before expiration of the original Agreement, and ultimately
to prevent the possible loss of grant funding. Thus, the Amendments were signed without
approval by the City Commission and become effective June 30, 2003 and October 21, 2004,
respectively. When Amendment No, 2 was presented to the City Attorney's Office for review
and approval it was brought to the Department's attention that these amendments needed to be
approved by the City Commission and the Department was advised to have both amendments
ratified,
Please indicate your adoption of this Emergency Finding after the fact to allow further
consideration and ratification and approval by the City Commission,
APPROV
