BACKGROUND:
It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners of the Omni Redevelopment District Community
Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") approve and adopt the attached Resolution amending Resolution No. CRA-R-
10-0043 authorizing the issuance of a grant to the City of Miami for the demolition of the Cafe Building at
Bicentennial Park, to reduce the total funds granted to the City from $69,957 to $47,000; and reallocating
excess funds toward the necessary re -grading and removal of trees.
The Board of Commissioners, by Resolution No. CRA-R-10-0043, passed and adopted on May 13, 2010,
authorized the issuance of a grant to the City of Miami, for the demolition and removal of the Cafe building at
Bicentennial Park. The demolition necessarily includes re -grading and tree removal. The City's current
contract, however, does not provide for these services. Inclusion of these services will require a new request for
bids.
It is the CRA's goal to have the building demolished no later than October 10, 2010. Therefore, in the interest of
time, and in an effort to pool available resources, the CRA proposes to assist the City with the demolition project
by arranging for the re -grading and removal of trees at the demolition site.
This split in duties reduces the City's total funding needs from $69,957 to $47,000. The remaining funds will be
used by the CRA for the re -grading and tree removal.
FUNDING: NO FISCAL IMPACT.
