Staff Summary: Background In 2005, the City of Miami Gardens was impacted by several hurricanes, among them Hurricane Wilma. During the aforementioned storm season, heavy rainfall and wind caused significant damage to the ITEM K-1) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Bid to Gonzalez & Sons Equipment Inc. 1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 secondary canal system within our municipality. Among the damages were undermined and unstable stream banks, water control structures and public infrastructures, as well as debris‐clogged stream channels. In April 2011, Public Works learned of available grant funds through the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program that is to be used to relieve imminent hazards to life and property caused by Hurricane Wilma. Immediately, staff began meeting with the appropriate representatives to determine the eligibility of the damaged areas within Miami Gardens. The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) administers the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP). The purpose of the EWP program is to assist sponsors (i.e. City of Miami Gardens) to implement emergency measures to relieve imminent hazards to lives and property created by a natural disaster. Funded activities may include removal of debris from streams, protection of destabilized stream banks; establishing cover on critically eroding lands; or undertaking emergency measures, including soil erosion prevention, to safeguard lives and property from flood or any other natural occurrence that causes a sudden impairment of the watershed. The following is the breakdown of the project authorized by NRCS for damages caused by the 2005 storms: The work will be completed within the three canals shown in Attachment B. Specifically, Carol City Canal B between NW 191 Street and NW 199 Street (Project Site 1), the confluents of Carol City Canal A and Real Site Canal (Project Site 2), and the NW 17 Avenue Canal from NW 167 Street to NW 168 Terrace (Project Site 3): Project Site 1: Repair/replacement of the culvert headwall located at the south side of NW 191 Street and the south side of NW 199 Street, repair as needed of headwall for small outfalls on the east side of the canal, and limited bank stabilization not exceeding 200 linear feet. Project Site 2: Repair/replacement of the outfall headwall behind property address 18535 NW 39 Court. Project Site 3: Canal bank stabilization on the west side of the canal, and guardrail removal and installation on the west side of the canal. As per Resolution No. 2011‐98‐1491, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) to receive grant funding to repair undermined and unstable stream banks, jeopardized water control structures and public infrastructures.
