LAND was accepted by the City Commission on October 3, 1962. At that time the streets in the vicinity of the plat (located at the N. side of N.W. 18th Terr., east of 22nd Avenue) were not fully developed. Therefore, it was decided to accept a Covenant to Run with the Land postponing the immediate construction of subdivision improvements until such time as required by the City. Last year two plats were processed that were located ic,61adiatcly east- "ma north of I.S.P. LAND. Both of the developers of the properties platted were required to tuLiy improve the abutting streets which were also adjacent to the plat of I.S.P. LAND. In view of these circumstances it vas felt that the provisions of the aforesaid Covenant should be enforced. The present fee simple owner of I.S.P. LAND, the Romanino Construction Company, Inc., was directed to complete all the improvements listed in the Covenant. Since all these improvements have now been completed, the Romanino Construc- tion Company, Inc. has requested that the Covenent be cancelled.

The City is experiencing some difficulty in the execution of contracts for City work because of a problem caused by the Code requirement that the insurance company issuing a bid bond, performance bond, surety bond or other guarantee, must be licensed by the City of Miami. When a prospective contractor overlooks the licensing requirement and the City finds it necessary to require him to obtain a bond written by an insurance agency licensed by the City, the contractor is placed at a disadvantage by having to obtain a new insurance agency who, of course, is unfamiliar with his business. This involves considerable delay as well as additional expense on the part of the contractor. The City finds it necessary to take all possible steps to encourage contractors to bid on City work. The Department of Public Works feels that the revision of the Code to permit the use of insurance agencies licensed by a munici- pality in Dade County would be of assistance to the con- tractors while at the same time retaining all of the safe- guards needed by the City. City Manager recommends. NOTE: * - Title of resolution and/or ordinance ** - Summary explanation - not part of title CITY COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 26, 1973 PAGE 13 AWARDING BIDS 50. * Resolution amending Resolution No. 73-324 B adopted April 26, 1973 entitled "A resolution awarding the bid received April 19, 1973 of STATE PAVING CORPORATION in the estimated amount of $84,100 for SOUTH BAYSHORE DRIVE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT SK-4281 in SOUTH BAYSHORE DRIVE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT SK-4281; allocating the additional amount of $66,456 from the Sidewalk Bond Fund 73- 7 9 and $22,736 from the Highway Bond Fund and authorizing / the City Manager to execute a contract therefor" to correct various amounts of money shown therein and to change the Additive Items to be in the contract from Additive Items 4, 5 and 6 to Additive Items 1, 2, 3 and 11 of the Proposal, thus making the total estimated amount of the contract $83,200. 51. ** Bids were received for this project and a contract awarded to State Paving Corporation for Bid "B" and Additive Items 4, 5 and 6 of the Proposal, based on unit prices, at a total estimated cost of $84,100, but a contract has not yet been executed by the City and the successful bidder. The contractor neglected to include in his Proposal the cost of Keystone facing of the planter walls, which error would result in a loss to the contractor of at least $24,000. The City does not desire to take advantage of a technicality which would cause the contractor to lose such sum of money on the work awarded to his form. There are three alternatives. One is to reject the bids and readvertise. 3ased on data received in the April bidding, the work would•be expected to cost about double. Another possibility is to award to the second low bidder at $157,375. This would cost the City about $74,000 more than the third alternative which is recommended as being in the best interest of the City. This is to delete the Keystone facing and amend the contract award to specify a stained stucco facing, based on unit prices appearing in the Proposal of the low bidder. This plan will reduce the original award of $84,100 by $900. City Manager recommends. * Resolution awarding the bid received September 11, 1973 of O.rt.r. CORPORATION in the estimated amount of $93,1Zo tor GENERAL DRAINAGE PROJECT G-1; allocating the amount of $104,300 from the "Storm Sewer Bond Fund" and authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract therefor. ** Bids were received September 11, 1973 to construct 5 local drainage structures in City wide locations, at points of greatest need.

The bid of Crown Point Paper Products Company was the lowest and best bid received. City Manager recommends. 53. * Resolution authorizing and directing the City Manager to issue a purchase order for two International Harvester Diesel Engines at a total price of $3,600 from funds 73 79 .?_ available in the Department of Public Properties City Garage Division Repair Parts account. ** International Harvester Company has offered surplus diesel engines to selected customers at a price reduced from $3,178 each to $1,800 each. Although the City Garage Division stocks engine blocks for exchange purposes for gasoline driven trucks, it has not stocked diesel engines because of the excessive cost, and it is recommended that these two engines be purchased at the reduced price. The engines will be used as exchange units. When a garbage truck engine fails one of these engines will be promptly installed and the old engine rebi1t for future exchange purposes, which will reduce the number of deadlined vehicles in the City Garage.
