Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 16,20]0 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida Mayor Edelcup clarified that we have an option on our part with the County and if staff would recommend at some future date that if the actual transfer of spaces were to take place then that would come before the Commission. Commissioner Goodman asked if we still have the 29 parking spaces in the building, and Mayor Edelcup said yes. Commissioner Goodman said he is concerned about taking the parking spaces completely away from there because of the handicapped parking, and he would like handicapped parking considered. Mayor Edelcup said he agrees with Commissioner Goodman since we will still have a restaurant on the Pier, people still need to park there, and ifit were to come up before him, he would probably not be in favor of giving up those spaces. Vice Mayor Thaler moved and Commissioner Scholl seconded a motion to approve this resolution. Resolution No. 2010-1607 was adopted by a voice vote of 5-0 in favor. 10J. A Resolution of the City Commission ofthe City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Ratifying the Approval of Change Order No.4 to Agreement with Coastal Construction Company for Professional Construction Services for the Heritage Park and Parking Garage Project, to Begin Construction on the Park Portion of Heritage Park, in an Amount Not to Exceed $1,454,479.00, Attached Hereto as Exhibit "A"; Authorizing the City Manager to Do All Things Necessary to Effectuate this Resolution; Providing for an Effective Date. Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and City Manager Conner reported noting that Change Order No.4 does not finish the Park because before the finished Park can be put into place, a great amount of infrastructure for a potentially more developed future Park needs to be in place. In this Change Order it gets us to the $9.5 Million and it takes care of a tremendous improvement to the underground drainage system, it puts in a full electrical system with three-phase power that can allow all types of additional development such as a decorative lighting system, street lights, pathway lights, etc. The final amount will come to the Commission next month to complete the Park surface. Public Speakers: Raquel Mass; Trina Duluc; Commissioner Scholl noted on the Change Order, in "Amount of Days per this Change Order" and "New Contract Completion Date" says "To be Determined". How do we preserve our liquidated damages in the original contract if this Change Order leaves the additional work days open-ended, and City Manager Conner said that is an error, he will go back to the last Change Order which did have the days, and make certain there is no change to that and fill it in. Commissioner Scholl clarified that they will be approving it with no time change, we are scratching out "to be determined" and putting in zero, and the new completion date would be the same as the old completion date, for the 20 days of the previous Change Order. City Manager Conner noted that the original paperwork was done on August la, and we were going to have it ready on the Change Order. Vice Mayor Thaler said we are not finished with the basic park with this number of $9.2 Million, and City Manager Conner said no, there will be an additional $2.6 Million as we stated in the Budget. Mayor Edelcup clarified that this is for the amenities. Commissioner Goodman said he thought the total cost of the Park would be $9.2 Million, 10
