RESOLUTIONS <br /> <br />lOA. A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Approving <br />an Agreement with LIVS Associates for Professional Architectural/Engineering <br />Services for the Design of Restroom Facilities and a Gravity Sewer System at Bella <br />Vista Bay Park, in an Amount Not to Exceed $33,975.00, Attached Hereto as Exhibit "A"; <br />Authorizing the Mayor to Execute Said Agreement; Authorizing the City Manager to Do All <br />Things Necessary to Effectuate this Resolution; Providing for an Effective Date. <br /> <br />Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and City Manager Cohen said in reviewing all ofthe <br />Capital Projects that have been previously approved and reviewing them with staff, it <br />occurred to them that this project had been approved without accommodating for bathrooms. <br />We wanted to bring forth that proposal to see if the Commission was interested in <br />incorporating bathrooms into this site.

City Manager Cohen said that we <br />anticipate the total cost to be approximately $140,000 with the bathrooms installed and <br />hooked up after this investigation and design work is done. <br /> <br />Public Speakers: None <br /> <br />Mayor Edelcup asked if this is in the Capital Projects budget right now for any particular <br />year, and Assistant City Manager Shah said yes. Commissioner Scholl said $140,000 for <br />engineering precast bathrooms just doesn't sit well with him, the cost is pretty exorbitant, <br />after looking at the cost breakdown, are there complications, this is exploratory, we are not <br />even sure if we can hook the bathrooms up. Mr. Batista said in the original proposal from <br />LIVS we discussed that it was not clear in their first preliminary review that W ASA would <br />even entertain a connection to one of their sewer lines. As a result, he asked them to <br /> <br />8 <br />
