OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF SIXTYFOUR THOUSAND, SIXTY‐TWO DOLLARS AND 40/100 CENTS
($64,062.40) TO FOUNTAIN DESIGN GROUP, INC. FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF FOUR (4) CASCADING FOUNTAINS WITH LIGHTS; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE. Staff Summary: In an effort to continue beautification of the City, the Keep Keep Miami Gardens Beautiful Division of the Public Works Department has planned for the
installation of cascading water fountains at one of the City’s main entrances. Northwest 27th Avenue is a major north‐south corridor through the City of Miami Gardens and will serve
as the entranceway to the 2010 Super Bowl and Pro Bowl. The 27th Avenue, canal which runs parrell to the newly landscaped medians, is a underutilized resource in our city. It is the
opinion of staff that the canal is an ideal location for a beautiful water feature. The canal can hold up to four fully illuminated 18 ft high cascading floating fountains. The proposed
project site begins at County Line Road. The project will be funded with stormwater funds; however, contributions from private and governmental entities are currently being negotiated.
City staff prepared specifications and advertised ITB# 09‐10‐005 Purchase & Installation of Four Floating Fountains with Lights, on September 29, 2009. A broadcast notice was sent to
55 vendors. Twenty (20) vendors requested bid packages. The bids were opened on October 15, 2009. Two (2) bids were received and publicly read. A copy ITEM J-7) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION
