Dear Commissioner Sanchez:
RECEIVED

PRISCILL A. THOMPSON
CTY CLERK
CITYI OF MIAMI FL
Reference is made to the Request for Proposals in connection with the public
procurement process for the Port of Miami Tunnel (the "Project") that has been issued by the
Florida Department of Transportation on October 26, 2006 (RFP-DOT-06/07-6084DS).
As you are aware, I currently serve as Chairman of Odebrecht Construction Inc. ("OCI").
OCI is a member of Miami Mobility Group — MMG, one of the consortia pre -qualified to
participate in the Project, of which the City of Miami is an important stakeholder.
As a result of the foregoing and taking into consideration the applicable sections of the
City of Miami Code, the Florida Statutes and the Memorandum from the City of Miami
Attorney's Office, I have been instructed by OCI's General Counsel that there might be a conflict
of interest with my dual role (i.e. Chairman of OCI and member of the Mayor's International
Council), and, for such reasons, I hereby respectfully resign to my position as member of the
Mayor's International Council.
As a citizen and proud member of this wonderful community, I would like to emphasize
my willingness to cooperate with the Council in any opportunity that you consider appropriate.
Once more I would like to thank you and Mayor Many Diaz and demonstrate my gratitude and
honor to have had a chance to serve this distinct Council for the past 2 years.
Since tly,
LuizJRocha
Odebrecht Construction, Inc.
COO International Operations
