EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
There were specific locations within the City of South Miami's sidewalk network that had trees
planted within the pavement thus not allowing handicapped or pedestrian access. Not only was
this in violation of law, but presented serious liability issues to the City as well. The worst
situations were at:
• SW 71St Street from SW 59th Place to S W 61 s' Avenue.
• SW 61St Avenue from SW 70th Street to Sunset Drive.
This presented an emergency situation requiring that these trees be removed and the sidewalk
sections reconstructed or repaired immediately to ensure the safety of the users.
The Public Works Department corrected the emergency situation by using the services of one of
our contractors, TJ Pavement Corp., who is currently under contract for sidewalk repair and
reconstruction throughout the City. The cost of this repair work is $20,922.50. This amount will
be funded through the Public Works Department Street Maintenance and Local Option Gas Tax
Account Numbers 001 - 1730 -541 -4640 and 112 - 1730 -541 -4640, with current account balances of
$4,813.69 and $41,500.00 respectively (prior to approval of this expenditure).
