the final Budget hearing is on Monday, September 24, 2012 at 7:00 PM where citizen and business
owners are encouraged to participate.
At the last budget meeting the concept of having a sign/monument for All American Veteran's
Park, where the name of the park would be prominently placed as well as the names of those
residents who were/are veterans, was discussed. Commissioner Welsh graciously volunteered to
construct the sign/monument with the raw material purchased by the City. I would like to report
that the project is moving forward with staff identifying the need for a permit and the normal
processes attached to that permit. The City would waive the permit fee. I personally
communicated the basic requirements of the project to Commissioner Welsh and he began the
process by providing us with a preliminary concept sketch of the sign/monument for your review
and input. We are soliciting the assistance of a licensed architect to assist the City. pro bono. in
the technical drawings so that the ERPB and staff can evaluate and approve the permit. A
potential vendor was suggested ,by Commissioner Welsh and we will include the company in the
solicitation for quote as soon as we get a dollar figure for the rock(s) and delivery. Attached
please find the draft sketch.
-2 -City Manager's Report to the Commission for September 18, 2012
City staff and Di Pompeo Construction Corporation met today at 2 pm to discuss various issues
relating to the contract. The items of concerns were divided into three groupings:
Contract/Bond & Grant had nineteen issues; Additional funding requirements had twelve issues;
and action items by the City had five issues. Most of the .i,ssues, were resolved through the verbal
agreement that the current contract needed major modification and it was agreed by both parties
that we would use an American Institute of Architect 'model contract for design and built and
amend acc:qrdingly so that the contract would be more eCl,sily understood and the requirements
having greater clarity. Mr. Di Pompeo also requested that he needed to speak with Miami Dade
County personnel regarding the grants and we agreed, with, him but that our' representative
needed to be present. Mr. Di Pompeo agreed that he would submit an AlA design and build
contract with his recommended changes and addendums by Friday, September 21,20.12, no later
than 9 am. We will immediately commence inputting oUf;\needed articles and forward same to
our attorney for his review. '. " " c .
\
\
\
This . was favorable progress but I remind theCommissiori· that the contract must also be
approved by Miami-Dade County before it comes before this body for approval. % At; ,this time we
do not know if the deadline is doable but we will make great efforts to meet it.
Lastly, the City revised the previously titled Sidewalk Master Plan project. In discussions
with Miami-Dade County with reference to qualified PTP expenditures, for a Master Plan
