ENCLOSURES:
FILE.
Under the 1972 Parks for People Bond Program, a park was
proposed in the Culmer Area of Central. Miami. A parcel
of HUD property, known as Site 304, was identified, and
subsequently deeded to the City for park development. The
original concept included a Recreation Building, as did the
surrounding HUD Housing Project. The original bond
allocation ;as $220, 000, and the District 5 Task Force
recommended cancellation of the proposed Athalie Range
#3 Under Expressway Park and addition of the $40, 000
allocation to Central Miami Proposed Park, for a total of
$260, 000. The recommendation 'vas made that the City and
HUD join forces to construct one Community Building at
Central Miami, rather than two separate buildings. Sub-
sequently, an agreement was initiated for utilization of HUDts
consultant for expansion of the Community Building to
encompass the City's recreational needs.
The building was estimated at $100, 000, which was allocated
by Resolution #/76.-19, an( HUD',-, contractor, M. R. Harrison
Construction Corporation, went to bid., The second bidding
produced the lowest price of $] 25, 004, which included
$107, 621. 06 for the building; $1, 548.75 for costs to the City,
attributable to HUD having to relocate their facility further
to the west to incorporate the City's facility; and a total of
$15, 834. 19 for construction of parking facilities with landscaping.
This was then submitted to the City for approval.
In that the bid totals $125, 004 and only $100, 000 was allocated
for construction, the Planning Department and the Department

NE-
of Parks and Recreation have re-evaluated the construction
program elements to determine if any savings can be achieved.
It is a consensus of opinion that the proposed parking area
adjacent to the City's portion of the facility (east side) is
unnecessary in that the part; will primarily function as a walk -to
park in service to residents within a 1 to 2 block radius of the
park. Consideration was also given to the fact that a parking
area is being provided on the south side of the park and
considerable on -street parking spaces are available on the
perimeter of the park.
The savings frorn cancellation of thn ,object parking area at a
• cost of $15, 834, 1.9, together with the transfer of excess Park
Bond Funds from completed Athalie Range Under Expressway
Park #1, in the amount of $20, 000, would allow sufficient funds
for construction of the building and associated relocation costs
($107, 621. 06 and $1, 548. 75), the architect's fee ($8, 11 5, 02.),
and a construction contingency fund of($2, 715. 17), at a total.
cost of $120, 000, The transfer of unused monies from Range
Park would alleviate any need for reduction and change of either
the proposed building or those funds earmarked for design and
development of the park grounds.
The contractor's bid price is predicated on the City's approval
and allocation of. funds for their portion of the Community Building
structure in timely sequence with construction of the HUD portion
of the Building. The contractor and HUD have requested that the
City's action on this matter take place no later than July 1, 1976,
in order that construction schedules and bid prices can be
maintained.
An amendment is now recommended for Resolution #76-19 to
increase the allocation from $100, 000 to $120, 000 from the Parks
For People Bond Funds,
