NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
A public hearing will be held by the City Commission of the City of Miami, Florida, on February
10, 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, FL. 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 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, in which findings must be ratified and the contract award approved by
an affirmative vote of four -fifths 4/5th of the City Commission.
All interested parties are invited to appear and may be heard concerning this item. Should any
person 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).
In accordance with the American with Disabilities Act of 1990, persons needing special
accommodations to participate in this proceeding may contact the Office of the City Clerk at
(305) 250-5361 (voice) no later than two (2) business days prior to the proceeding, or at (305)
