Agency (SEOPW CRA) approve and adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the expenditure of funds, in an
amount not to exceed $850,000.00, for sidewalk, curb, and gutter replacement within the SEOPW CRA

City of Miami Department of Capital Improvements (CIP) and/or by the City of Miami Department of Public
Works, as appropriate, or to authorize the City of Miami to issue purchase orders directly to approved vendors
with funding provided from the appropriate SEOPW CRA Tax Increment Fund (TIF) account(s) provided the City

contracts to said vendors; acknowledging and accepting that the SEOPW CRA shall maintain any and all above
standard improvements for the fife of the CRA; and, further, requesting that the City of Miami waive all

JUSTIFICATION:
In March of 2003, the SEOPW CRA Board of Directors approved an Overtown Park/West- Sidewalk, Curb and
Gutter Project in the amount of $1 million funded with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG).
Construction work commenced on April 10, 2003, with $300,362.59 expended when the Department of
Community Development notified the CRA on May 20, 2003 to cease construction in that it had been
determined the project was not eligible for CDBG funding. This new project is designed to pick up with TIF
funding where the original project left off and complete the project as originally contemplated as well as include
areas that had been previously excluded because they were not in proximity of the 9 n Street Pedestrian Mail
Extension Project (at that time, the two projects were inter -related).
FUNDING SOURCE: $850,000.00 from SEOPW TIF Account No. 689001.550108.6 .860 entitled "Construction
in Progress".
