SIDEWALK AND CURB /GUTTER
REPAIRS - CITYWIDE CONTRACT
The attached resolution seeks approval of an agreement between the City of South Miami
and Homestead Concrete and Drainage for maintenance and repair of city sidewalks. As
most of you are probably aware, many of the city's sidewalk, curbs and gutters are in
need of repair. For the most part, the cause of the sidewalk problem are tree roots. These
roots push the sidewalk and curb /gutter sections upwards, causing cracks and/or uneven
sections. The cracked or uneven concrete presents a liability situation as a result of
tripping hazard they create for pedestrians.
This situation can be remedied through a structured sidewalk repair program. The first
step in this approach is to identify the worst sidewalk problems in the busiest pedestrian
locations (downtown area). This survey has already been completed by the Public Works
Department. Secondly, a qualified concrete repair firm needs to be retained to complete
the work required. The contractor is necessary since Public Works does not have the staff
level nor the equipment required for this work.
Public Works has determined that a firm which is currently on contract through the
competitive bidding process with two South Florida municipalities (Coral Gables and
Miami Beach) should be contracted for the sidewalk repairs. The firm, Homestead
Concrete and Drainage, has already performed satisfactory sidewalk work for the City in
the past.
Homestead Concrete's fee structure for the attached Miami Beach contract (Bid No. 43-
93/95) is based on quantity ranges, which is appropriate for the type of section sizes
which require repair in South Miami. The price structure shown includes a five percent

discount to account for colorless concrete (the Miami Beach prices include the additional
r
cost of colored concrete). This price structure should be adopted for the contract between
Homestead Concrete and the City .of South Miami.
Homestead Concrete assessed the sidewalk locations needing removal and replacement
of concrete as well as tree root pruning= Based on this assessment, the firm provided an
estimate of the cost for the work. Using the firm's estimate plus a contingency factor to
account for additional repairs in the downtown area and other city locations, it is
estimated that $25,000 will be required between now and the end of the fiscal year.
Based on the above, it is recommended that the City ente
r into a contract for sidewalk
repair with Homestead Concrete. It is further recommended that the
contract adopt the
same fee structure in effect between Homestead Concrete and the City of Miami Beach.
The total amount to be spent through this contract for the remaining part of the fiscal year
not to exceed $25,000.
