RATIFICATION OF THE CITY
MANAGER'S ACTION TO
ENTER INTO A CONTRACT
WITH ENVIRONMENTAL SITE
ASSESSMENT INC.TO
PERFORM A PHASE I
ASSESSMENT FOR MURRAY
PARK PER OCED
SPECIFICATIONS,ATA COST
NOT TO EXCEED $1,400.00.
The attached resolution ratifies the proactive action of the City Manager in entering into a
contract with Environmental Site Assessment,Inc.,(ESA)to perform a Phase I Environmental
Assessment for the future location ofthe "Phase I"Multipurpose Center ancillary building.
In 1997,pursuant to Miami-Dade County Office of Community &Economic Development
(OCED)requirements,the City retained ESA to perform a Phase I Environmental Assessment
for the proposed "Traffic Calming Project"location,and the former site of Coker Plumbing
(5845 SW 68 Street).This Coker Plumbing property was acquired by the City for the future
construction of the Multipurpose Center,"Phase II"(the main structure).The ESA report,
however,does not cover Murray Park,the proposed location of the Multipurpose Center
"PhaseI"ancillary building.
Accordingly,the City Manager has authorized ESA to prepare a Phase I Assessment for Murray
Park in order address the earlier omission.This proactive decision was necessary to expedite the
groundbreaking ofthe "Phase I"ancillary building.
The total expenditure would not exceed $1,400.00,and the disbursement would come from
account No.001-0000.0131.1420 "OCED Multipurpose Building Construction ".
