Agenda Item No.: ~ DATE: April 7, 2015
SUBIECT:
A Resolution pursuant to Section 7-16(g) of the Code of Ordinances, extending the
construction hours for the construction project at 6200 SW 73 Street, identified as
Building Permit #15-254.
BACKGROUND:
On March 19, 2015, the city issued a building permit (Permit #15-254) for the re-roofing
of South Miami Hospital's oncology building which is part of the hospital campus located
at 6200 SW 73 Street. Upon review of the current site conditions by the contractor,
Exclusive Construction & Roofing Group, it was found that it would be difficult to perform
the prescribed construction activities due to the nature of the work that is performed
within the building. Because of this unforeseen circumstance, the project would be
delayed into the approaching hurricane season.
ANALYSIS:
According to the attached correspondence from Mr. Rick Avello, president/owner of
Exclusive Construction & Roofing Group, during the weekday hours of 6:30 a.m. to 6:30
p.m., the company cannot work on over three quarters of the roof due to the operation of
the radiation machines that are housed within the building. Because of this, he is
requesting authority from the City Commission to modify the hours of construction.
Currently, the hours of construction are as follows:
• Monday -Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
• Saturday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
• Sunday, ,No construction activity is permitted
At this time, Mr. Avello is requesting the following modification to the hours of
construction that will be used beginning on April 12, 2015 through May 24,2015:
• Sunday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Pursuant to Section 20-7.16(g) of the City Code of Ordinances,
South Miami Hospital Extended Construction Hour Request
April 7, 2015

Ref: Requestto Work on Sundays
To the City Of South Miami we currently have a project in South Miami Hospital at
the Radiation & Oncology Building to re-roof it, we are requesting to work on
Sundays due to the fact that the radiation dept. works from 6:30AM till 6:30PM
Monday through Friday and we cannot work over 3-quarters of the roof due to that
radiation machines. So since we cannot work after 6:00PM Monday through Friday
all we really have is Saturday. The issue with re-roofing is tearing off and installing a
system back to make roof water tight and not cause intrusion and damage very
expensive equipment and maybe even shut down operations, so for us to work over
a section on Saturday and if we cannot finish waiting till next Saturday to continue
we would jeopardize something happening as I mentioned above occurring. By the
way we are not using any noise producing equipment except our trucks for garbage
and torches for the system. This is a very crucial job and we are trying to plan
according so we can get it done before the rainy/hurricane system arrives a couple
of months away. Please let me know if you have any other questions and hopefully
we can get this approved and take care of our client

Subject: Baptist South Miami Radiation Dept. Re-Roof Sunday Request
Good afternoon Gentlemen:
We are a construction and Roofing company and we got awarded a re-roof project at South Miami
Baptist /Radiation-Oncology building, due to the area that we are going to be re-roofing which is over a
radiation building that they do test from 6:30AM till 6:30PM so we are not allowed to work on this roof
and working at night increases areas for accidents to occur as lighting becomes an issue, so have been
told that we need to request permission to work on Sundays because our plans is to work more crews
on Saturday and Sunday to get the job done, we have a City of South Miami re-roof permit attached ..
Please let me know if it's OK or not and or what direction we can,..
Thank you very much for your time,
Sincerely,
Rick Avella LEED® AP
