izing the City Manager to arrange for the supplying of
acceptable materials and the completion of the work by a
contractor and/or City forces and authorizing advertising

**
Minority Systems, Inc., the Contractor for furnishing all
labor, materials, and equipment necessary to install cer-
tain water mains at the Orange Bowl Stadium of the City
of Miami, has failed to carry on the work in accordance
with Specifications and Contract Documents for the project
entitled "Orange Bowl - Water Main Improvements - 1975 -

project was executed on August 7, 1975 and should have
been completed November 4, 1975. In accordance with
Section 6-10 of said contract, the City Commission has
full power and authority without violating the contract to
take the prosecution of the work out of the hands of the
contractor and to enter into another agreement with another
contractor for the completion of the work, or to use such
other methods as in the opinion of the Commission shall be
required for the completion of the work in an acceptable
manner. The City has complied with all the legal provisions
of the contract which pertained to taking the work away
from the contractor, including the required Certificate
from the Engineer. Therefore, it is now proper for the City
to take the work away from the contractor and authorize
the City Manager to take such steps as he may deem expedient
and necessary to complete the work with acceptable material
in an acceptable manner by either advertising for sealed
bids, negotiation with supplier and contractor, or by use of
City forces, or any combination of these means as he may
deem to be in the best interest of the City.
City Manager recommends.

**
The City of Miami requires dedications of all the outlots
which are designated on the AMENDED PLAT OF POINT VIEW
(2-93) in order to proceed with its Point View Highway
Improvement H-4309. Of the total of seven such outlot
owners contacted, three have made voluntary dedications
by executing and delivering to the City of Miami Highway
Right -of -Way Deeds conveying their respective interest in
and to Outlots 1, 2, 3 and all of Outlot 34, Block 2, of
the AMENDED PLAT OF POINT VIEW (2-93). It is expected
that the remaining outlets will be acquired from the other
four owners on the basis of either a voluntary dedication
or as a requirement of the platting process. In order
to avoid any diminution of the tax benefits accruing to
the owners who have already dedicated the aforesaid outlots,
it is now in order for the City Commission to accept the
aforesaid deeds at this time, and to have them recorded
in the Public Records of Dade County, Florida.

Resolution authorizing payment of $2,400 to the University
of Miami for services rendered for the City of Miami Day
Care Program.
During the first six months of the Day Care Program's
operation, several children displayed unappropriate
symptoms. Early screening and treatment of these children
could prevent problems in their later school years, but
the Day Care staff is unable to provide this type of pro-
fessional treatment. With grant funds available from the State
Community Affairs Office, through the Community Trust Fund,
the University of Miami extended services to the Day Care
Program for treatment of these children. It is now in
order for the City Commission to authorize payment of
$2,400 to the University of Miami for services rendered.
City Manager recommends.
** Resolution authorizing and directing the City Manager to
