("Harbour Construction"), a Florida for profit corporation, in substantially the attached form; allocating a total amount not to exceed Three Hundred Twenty Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars ($320,700.00) to fund the installation of a grease trap for a restaurant and change of contractor ("Construction Project") for the property located at 1401 North Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida ("Property"). Scope of Work: • Provide all labor, parts, materials, equipment, and all permits, necessary to furnish and install a grease trap at the Omni CRA, located at 1401 North Miami Avenue, Miami, FL 33136. • Provide protection of the worksite, inclusive of surrounding areas (i.e., barricades, caution tape, etc.). • Provide the construction and removal of any temporary access to site if necessary. • Be responsible to open and close all applicable permits. • Provide signed and sealed plumbing plans that comply with requirements established in Section 2441.6(8) and (9) of the code of Miami -Dade County. • Design, furnish and install approved grease trap of appropriate size, floor sink, drains, and associated piping as required.

The design shall be done by an approved architect or engineer. • Set up dust control measures during any concrete cutting or other dust generating activities. • Dispose of all debris off site. • Leave site in ready for use conditions. JUSTIFICATION: The Omni CRA is tasked with reducing slum and blight within its boundaries. The Omni CRA owns the Property. Consistent with the objectives of the 2019 Omni Redevelopment Plan ("Plan") including the encouragement of economic and business development, the Omni CRA is renovating the Property. The Property is under construction to become a food court. A grease trap must be installed for construction to be completed. Given that the prior lessee's lease on the Property is terminated, the prior lessee is no longer in privity with the Property and has requested a change of contractor. The need for a change of contractor has stalled construction at the Property. The City of Miami ("City"), on behalf of the CRA, issued IFQ No. 1874386 on June 7, 2024, to furnish and install a grease trap. Harbour Construction submitted a Proposed Statement of Services ("Proposal") in response to IFQ No. 1874386. The estimated project grand total is Three Hundred Twenty Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars ($320,700.00). The CRA also desires to enter into an agreement with the City to have the City's Office of Capital Improvements assist with managing and overseeing all phases of the Construction Project. The Omni CRA requests to allocate an amount not to exceed Three Hundred Twenty Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars ($320,700.00) to the City for the costs associated with the Construction Project. Completion of the Construction Project will result in accomplishing the objective of reducing slum and blight and attracting business development within the CRA boundaries, which are among the stated goals of the Plan. FUNDING: Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($320,700.00) has been allocated from the Omni Tax Increment Fund, Account No. 10040.920501.883000.0000.00000 — Construction in Progress.
