ANALYSIS

On January 17, 2017, the City entered into a Design/Build Agreement with Ric-Man Construction, Inc. (Ric-Man) to develop, design and construct the Stormwater Pump Station on 19th Street between Convention Center Drive and Meridian Avenue. The work of this Pump Station includes the renovation of the sea wall along the Collins Canal, between Convention Center Drive and Meridian Avenue, a control switchgear located at the Preferred “P” Parking lot and an emergency generator, located in the Botanical Garden, adjacent to the Holocaust Memorial Parking Lot.

On December 28, 2017, a Notice to Proceed No. 2 was awarded to Ric-Man Construction to commence with the approved construction associated with the stormwater pump station. The effective date of the Notice to Proceed was January 2, 2018.

The Pump Station Control Center is located on top of a concrete platform, at the north end of the “P” lot parking lot, on Lot 7 of Block 7, at 19th Street, between Convention Center Drive and Meridian Avenue.

In order to provide the necessary power supply, conduits, transformers, cables and duct banks to the 19th Street Stormwater Pump Station, the Florida Power and Light (FPL) has requested an easement in order to have access to maintain their equipment, which supports the Stormwater Pump Station control center.

This utility easement for FPL, at Lot 7 of Block 7 in Plat Book 6, Page 26, will satisfy the needs of FPL to maintain their equipment, in order to provide the necessary power for the continuous operation of the 19th Street Stormwater Pump Station, which services the Miami Beach Convention Center.
