NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
A public hearing will be held by the City Commission of the City of Miami, Florida on April 28, 2011 at
9:00 AM at City Hall, located at 3500 Pan American Drive, Miami, Florida, for the purpose of considering
the following resolution:
A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION, WITH ATTACHMENT(S), BY A
FOUR -FIFTHS (4/5THS) AFFIRMATIVE VOTE, AFTER AN ADVERTISED PUBLIC
HEARING, RATIFYING, APPROVING, AND CONFIRMING THE CITY MANAGER'S
RECOMMENDATION AND FINDINGS, PURSUANT TO SECTION 18-85(A) OF THE
CODE OF THE CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA, AS AMENDED ("CITY CODE"), WAIVING
COMPETITIVE SELECTION (COMPETITIVE SEALED BIDDING) FOR ALLOCATING
FUNDS NOT TO EXCEED $200,000 VIA THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY BROWNFIELD CLEANUP GRANT, TO CHEROKEE ENTERPRISES
INCORPORATED TO PROVIDE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING, ASSESMENT,
AND CONTAMINATION CLEANUP SERVICES AT 6200 NW 17 AVENUE, WHICH IS A
CITY OF MIAMI OWNED BROWNFIELD PROPERTY IN THE LIBERTY CITY
NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE CITY OF MIAMI, FL, AS NOT BEING PRACTICABLE OR
ADVANTAGEOUS TO THE CITY OF MIAMI.
As required by Section 255.20, Florida Statutes, and in accordance with Section 18-85 (a) of the City
Code of the City of Miami, the City Commission of the City of Miami, Miami -Dade County, Florida, will
conduct a public hearing to consider whether it is practical or advantageous and in the public's best
interest to waive competitive sealed bids in connection with environmental consulting, assessment, and
contamination cleanup services at a City of Miami owned property located at 6200 NW 17 Avenue in the
City of Miami, FI. The recommended contractor Cherokee Enterprises Incorporated is uniquely qualified
to continue environmental investigation services and recommend and implement a method of
contamination cleanup services. Funding to cleanup the contamination at 6200 NW 17 Ave is a
combination of State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection Funding and U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) grant funding. A competitive bid process will jeopardize the ability to cleanup
6200 NW 17 Ave within the EPA three (3) year Grant Funding Period. The EPA as the funding agency
has authorized Cherokee Enterprise Incorporated to complete the cleanup of 6200 NW 17 Ave as
required for non-competitive procurement on Federal grant funded projects via 40 CFR 31.36d4(i)(c).
The City Manager will present written findings to the City Commission which shall contain reasons
supporting the conclusion that competitive sealed bidding is not practicable or advantageous to the City,

desire to appeal any decision of the City Commission with respect to any matter considered at this
hearing, that person shall ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, including all
testimony and evidence upon any appeal may be based (F.S. 286.0105).
