Summary Minutes:Special City Commission Meeting January 30.2013 Sunny Isles Beach,Florida <br /> sure they are going to negotiate but they have got to realize that the Commission has <br /> conviction of that number, and that we have already seen some anomalies but he thinks in the <br /> spirit that he would be inclined to make a motion to tell our staff to negotiate that level. <br /> Commissioner Levin said she has not been involved from the very beginning but she has <br /> been coming to meetings and hearing things, and she remembers hearing a discussion that <br /> they were going to do the garage but not the pedestrian bridge and she asked whether the <br /> $16.5 Million contract includes the bridge. The Commission said yes. Commissioner <br /> Scholl said it was $14 Million before the bridge, and the bridge is about $2.5 Million. City <br /> Manager Russo said the only change they did with the bridge since he has been here is we <br /> agreed because of the complexity of the permitting for this bridge over the highway that we <br /> took it out of the timeframe, because the only deduction to the bridge was the time schedule. <br /> Mayor Edelcup said it has a separate timeline. Commissioner Scholl said what we talked <br /> about at one point was the construction on top and the bridge, and at that point we scrapped <br /> the structure on top but at the time we wanted to keep the bridge. And so that is what rolled <br /> the price back a little, we are now back to a structure on the bottom, and so we are kind of <br /> back to where we started price wise but we moved the structure from the top to the bottom. <br /> Vice Mayor Aelion said right, and with the structure from top to the bottom then we had to <br /> change the whole set up of the elevator system. Commissioner Levin asked what had <br /> happened to the columns because she was looking at the original contract and there were no <br /> columns at that point and then all of a sudden there were drawings of columns. Mayor <br /> Edelcup said that is one of the changes that we are expecting, no columns. <br /> City Attorney Ottinot said we need a motion to approve the deadline that the Mayor set,and <br /> Commissioner Scholl said right,the motion is that we wrap it up by,and Mayor Edelcup said <br /> by February 21, 2013 our next Commission Meeting. Commissioner Scholl said then to <br /> wrap it up by February 18, 2013. He said the motion would be to empower staff to go back <br /> and negotiate a$20 Million maximum price and that we reach an agreement by February 18, <br /> 2013 or basically we will then have to take action. City Attorney Ottinot noted that we do <br /> have a Resolution and we will amend it to include February 18, 2013 as the outside date for <br /> staff to complete the negotiations for an amount not to exceed $20 Million, inclusive of all <br /> payments and that includes the design fee. <br /> Commissioner Scholl moved and Vice Mayor Aelion seconded a motion to approve the <br /> resolution, as amended. Resolution No. 2013-2020 was adopted by a roll-call vote of 5-0 <br /> in favor. <br /> Vote: Commissioner Gatto yes <br /> Commissioner Levin yes <br /> Commissioner Scholl yes <br /> Vice Mayor Aelion yes <br /> Mayor Edelcup yes <br /> Eduardo Castineira, Architect President/CEO of Axioma3Architects, thanked the <br /> Commission. <br /> 5 <br />
