A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE SOUTHEAST
OVERTOWN/PARK WEST COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED SEVENTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($70,000) FOR THE INSTALLATION OF ADDAPAVE TREE
PIT PAVING SYSTEMS FOR SIXTY EIGHT TREES ALONG THE 3RD AVENUE
BUSINESS CORRIDOR IN OVERTOWN FROM NORTHWEST 8TH STREET TO
NORTHWEST 14TH STREET
WHEREAS, the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA")
is responsible for carrying out community redevelopment activities and projects within its
Redevelopment Area in accordance with its approved Redevelopment Plan; and
WHEREAS, the 2009 SEOPW Redevelopment Plan, at Section 2, pages 12 and 23, lists
Improving the Quality of Life as one of the six main goals and guiding principles of the plan and
requires the development of greenways as part of meeting these objectives; and
WHEREAS, the 2009 SEOPW Redevelopment Plan, at Section IV.C., has as a recommended
improvement to "rebuild and beautify NW 3rd Avenue from NW 8th -14 Streets;" and
WHEREAS, The Board of Commissioners, by Resolution No. CRA-R-07-0038, passed and
adopted on September 24, 2007, authorized the expenditure of funds, in an amount not exceed
$4,350,000, for the NW 3rd Avenue Streetscape Improvements; and
WHEREAS, the Addapave Tree Pit Paving System ("System") would replace the current metal
grates surrounding the trees planted along NE 3rd Avenue, from NW 8th Street to NW 14th Street.
This system would prevent the future theft of the remaining metal grates and would provide for
adequate growth and watering; and
WHEREAS, the System replaces mulch, paver blocks, and steel grate systems. It uses natural
aggregates and clear binder to provide a seamless, natural, colorful, porous surface that is both
functional and decorative. Porous surface allows tree to receive nutrients and water. The System
remains bound and intact by a polyurethane resin, unlike mulch or decorative stone, which can
escape from the pit area and scatter across surrounding area. It also provides room for tree trunk
growth and will not heave and the flat surface will not collect litter; and
WHEREAS, Americas' Best Service, LLC, 10635 NE 11th Avenue, Miami, FL 33138, is the
only company in Miami that provides the service of installing the System; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners wishes to authorize an expenditure in an amount not
to exceed Seventy Thousand Dollars ($70,000) for the installation of the System for sixty eight trees
along the Northwest 3rd Avenue business corridor in Overtown, from Northwest 8th Street to
Northwest 14th Street, as part of the NW 3rd Avenue Streetscape Improvement Project;
