the City of Miami's List of Expedited Projects pursuant to Section 18-117 of the Code of the City
of Miami, Florida, as amended ("City Code"), titled "Economic Stimulus Awards and
Agreements," by replacing the current "Attachment A - 4/12/19 Revised," with "Attachment A -
6/17/20 Revised Miami Recovery Initiative," attached and incorporated, for the purpose of

Background of Item:
On March 9, 2020, Governor DeSantis promulgated Emergency Order 20-52 on March 9, 2020,
to declare a state of emergency in the State of Florida in response to a new infectious disease
named coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Subsequently, the City declared the state of
emergency as of March 12, 2020. The ensuing health crisis caused the largest economic
recession in US history, affecting the local public, private, and non-profit sectors, accounting for
untold losses suffered by local businesses being forced to close if they were not essential, and
the social impact associated with rising unemployment in the City. As a result, the City has
developed the Miami Recovery Team to address said economic and social impacts resulting
from the Covid-19 pandemic by proposing alternative policies and programs, while working
closely with the affected local sectors, in order to sustain and recover local businesses and
mitigate economic hardship to the most vulnerable, while creating and implementing a plan of
action to coordinate recovery efforts by City departments, stakeholders, and supporting entities,
including the use of available local, state and federal recovery programs. Said plan of action
includes strategies for adapting to changing public health, social, and economic conditions,
reopening businesses, and establishing new businesses in the long-term by taking bold,
inclusive action that seeks to reduce our community's future risks overall in its approach to a
comprehensive community recovery initiative. The Miami Recovery Team has identified specific
capital construction projects that have been categorized as "shovel -ready" under a list titled
"Miami Recovery Initiative," and could play a critical part in the City's recovery effort. The
selection of these capital projects is one of the first initiatives from the Miami Recovery Team,
whose goal is to stimulate the local economy by producing immediate business and
employment opportunities and to access Miami Forever Bond funds, as well as other local,
state, and federal stimulus funding, if and when available.
