| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
| In July of 1994, the City Commission approved the initial Memorandums of Agreement (MOA) with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to provide for maintenance of landscaping along the MacArthur Causeway, specifically from the east end of Watson Island to the western edge of Alton Road and the Julia Tuttle Causeway, specifically from the east end of the westernmost bridge to Alton Road. Both of these Memorandums of Agreement have been renewed annually since that time.
On March 23, 2017, the City and FDOT entered into a new Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) for a one year period, with an option to renew for two (2) additional years for the landscape maintenance of both causeways.
Under the terms of these Agreements, the City of Miami Beach will receive the combined sum of $282,776.00 a year payable in the amount of $70,694.00 quarterly, for a total of $848,328.00 during the time period for these Joint Participation Agreements.
For the past several years, the City has utilized the services of a private landscape maintenance company to provide the required work within the scope of services included in these Agreements. The Julia Tuttle and MacArthur Causeways are maintained by the same city managed contractor and the annual compensation from FDOT pays for the total cost of the landscape maintenance agreement, plant material replacement as well as the City’s staff time required for supervision of these areas.
FDOT desires to renew the existing agreements and has provided the necessary forms for the City to execute.

| | | | | | | | CONCLUSION
| | To ensure the MacArthur and Julia Tuttle Causeways’ landscaping continues to be maintained at the high standards set by the City of Miami Beach, and to receive the annual funding of $282,776.00 from the Florida Department of Transportation that is necessary to support these maintenance standards, the Administration recommends the approval of the attached resolutions, the MacArthur Causeway 2017/2018 Joint Participation Agreement and the Julia Tuttle Causeway 2017/2018 Joint Participation Agreement as attached. |
