AT A COST NOT TO EXCEED
$70,000.00.
The attached resolution seeks approval toallowtheCity Manager toenterintoacontractwith
Miri Construction,Inc.to construct the 74th Street &59th Avenue street improvements.
BACKGROUND
Asyouwill recall,Public Works madea presentation earlierthisyearona multi-faceted street
improvements project for the intersection of SW 74th Street and SW 59th Avenue.The goals of
this project are to remedy a long-standing drainage problem,to provide traffic calming along 74th
StreetthroughinnovativeS-curves,todisinclinetheuse of SW 59th Avenuefromuseasacut-
through commuter route,to increase vehicular and pedestrian safety,andto beautify through
landscaping improvements.Attached isa sketch that outlines thenew design forthe intersection.
ANALYSIS
Miri Construction Corporation has provided street construction services forthe City of Coral
Gables forthelast five years,and currently hasa one-year contract (with 2 one-year renewal
options)with Coral Gables forstreet construction.Furthermore,you should notethat Miri
Construction performed the "Lake Taco Bell"drainage improvements (SW 78th Street &SW
63r Avenue)this past fiscal year for the City.Miri Construction completed this difficult and
innovative project ina timely fashion,and with the highest quality of workmanship.
Itis proposed to name Miri Construction as the contractor for this project based upon their "unit
price"contract withtheCityof Coral Gables.The amount ofthe contract wouldbe $70,000.00,
which represents the base bidof $58,720.00 plus allowance for landscaping costs (not included
in the bid,contractor still awaiting a cost quote from sub-contractors)and a contingency.

RECOMMENDATION
This innovative project is sure to be immensely popular once completed.The traffic calming and
landscaping improvements arein harmony with the residential character ofthe street,andthe
proactive cut-through traffic countermeasures will be most welcomed by the residents who live
along SW 59th Avenue.Approval ofthis expenditure is therefore recommended.
The total expenditure would not exceed $70,000.00,and the disbursement would come from
account No.111-1730-541-3450 "Stormwater Trust Fund -Maintenance &Repair of Streets &
Parkways".This account currently has a balance of $80,000.00 forfiscal year 1999/2000.
Since this project is under the FDEP State Appropriation Grant,this account willbe reimbursed
byFDEPaftertheprojectinvoicesare submitted.
