Re: Brewer Park Tree Removal –
LWCF Grant
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI,
FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO DISBURSE $8,000.00 TO
SUPERMEN TREE SERVICE FOR THE REMOVAL OF 23 AUSTRALIAN PINE TREES
FROM BREWER PARK, TO BE CHARGED TO THE LAND AND WATER
CONSERVATION FUND (LWCF) GRANT ACCOUNT NUMBER 001.0000.131.1461;
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) improvements for Brewer Park include
the removal and replacement of exotic tree species such as Australian Pines, Brazilian
Pepper and Schefflera among others. All of these trees are listed on DERM's
Prohibited Tree Species list. Some of the work will be accomplished in- house by Parks
and Recreation staff. However, the large Australian Pine trees require equipment and
manpower beyond what in -house staff can provide. The Australian Pines along the
canal will be removed, with the stumps remaining to provide for shoreline stabilization.
Although tree canopy replacement is not mandated for removal of prohibited tree
species, the grant does provide funding for a number of more suitable trees (bald
cypress) to be planted in place of the removed trees.
The Parks and Recreation Department has solicited quotations for the removal of 23
Australian Pines from the park, and the lowest responsive quotation was submitted by
Supermen Tree Service in the amount of $8,000.00.
The attached resolution would authorize the City Manager to disburse funds in the
amount of $8,000.00 to Supermen Tree Service for this work, Funding is available in
the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) account # 001.0000.131.1461 that
currently has a balance of $167,233.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that the City .Manager be authorized to disburse the amount of
$8,000.00 to Supermen Tree Service for the removal of the Australian Pine trees at
Brewer Park.
