Home My WebLink AboutSEOPW OMNI CRA 2006-11-27 AdvertisementBr Eaic KKLis City of Miami officials say they. fast -tracked two no -bid city projects this year in a race to satisfy the terms of a bond program the city entered into in 2007. . he wake of criticism from Commissioner Linda Haskins during the Nov. 9 commission meeting that the city awarded concurrent projects to James Pirtle Construction Co. without a public bidding process, city officials say the no -bid con- tracts were necessary to meet a spending deadline for a Home- land Defense Neighborhood Improvement Bond given to the city in 2002. Ms. Haskins was the -only commissioner to vote against the terms of the con- tracts for the second phases'of Josarti Gymnasium at 434 S��e M'aird Ave. in Little Havana- anaLittle. Haiti. Park Cultural Center at 5925-27 NW Second Ave.• Pirtle Construction signed a construction management -at - risk contract with the city in January that specified both projects would be negotiated in two phases - the first for pre -construction work and the County panel OKs $100.M ndo project BY DAN DOLAN Despite objections by the Mi- ami -Dade Planning and Zoning Department, a proposal to build 500 condos on the site of a 69- year -old mobile -home park in, the middle of the 27th Aveni.Te industrial area was approved'by the county commission's mas- ter -plan committee this week. • The $100 million development plan by Premier Properties In- vestment of Coral Gables, par- tially owned- by former Miami Heat basketball star Tim Hi, way, calls for the 110 mobile homes at the park to be replaced by one-, two- and three -bedroom condos expected to list for $189,000 to $300,000' when construction is complete. After a presentation by Mr. TTarrinn,av and Pr'nni ar.Prnnpr_ second for actual construc- tion, said Gary Fabrikant, as- sistant director of the capital improvement projects depart- ment. Commissioners ap- proved the $8.9 million price tag for phase two of Little Haiti Park on Nov: 9, bringing the total contract ani'ount to $14 million. For Jose Marti Gymnasium, the commission approved $6.4 million for phase two to make the total 'contract worth 'about $10.4 million. The management -at -risk con- tract binds Pirtle to 'do the work at the agreed price. These contract .values do not represent a cash overrun .- city officials were aware that phase two of construction would go back to the commission, Mr. Fabrikant said. Commissioners delayed vot- ing on the updated contracts during the summer, citing con- cerns that the phase two prices seemed excessive, Mr. Fabrikant said. The city then brought in auditing firm,Faith- ful and Gould to examine the projects and give an indepen- dent cost estimate; he said. The firm 'found-that-Pirtle's duced their hmelmes by rime to" ci request for phase two of Jose Marti was actually 2.8% below its cost estimate, while the re- quest for phase two of Little Haiti Park was within 1.2% of the estimate, Mr. Fabrikant said. "One of the reasons the prices (for phase two of both projects) were higher than originally ex- pected is the state of .the con- struction market," Mr: Fabrikant said. "The value was determined based on real-time pricing. The pricing analysis showed that the city is receiv- ing good value for these projects." The city was under pressure to spend the . bulk of the 2002 bond, worth about $153 million before city officials can pursue a new bond program, which they plan to do inthe middle bf 2007, Mr. Fabrikant said. A fail- ure to satisfy the bond's terms could have hurt.the city's bond rating and -ability to afford fu- ture bonds, he said. In essence, the ' city "spent money to. save 'money," Mr. Fabrikant said. Awarding each project without a bid also re - CITY OF MIAMI COMMUJNITY RE DEVELOPMENT AGENCY. PLEASE ALL TAKE• NOTICE.
