C-100A and C-100C Tree Removal Project

Overview The South Florida Water Management District (District) is the primary agency responsible for flood control in Miami-Dade County and all or parts of 15 other counties that compose the District. This responsibility entails that, whenever possible, the District take action to remove from its rights of way encroachments that pose a hazard of falling into and obstructing a canal during a storm event.

The District has identified several areas within the C-100 Basin in which trees and vegetation encroach upon the District’s rights of way. Many of these trees and much of this vegetation have grown on or close to the banks of canals within the basin. In the event of a storm, these trees and vegetation could fall into the canals and obstruct the flow of water, thereby causing localized flooding and property damage to structures within the canals. In addition, these encroaching trees and vegetation block routine maintenance and emergency access to portions of District rights of way.

Project Purpose The purpose of this project is to remove from District rights of way trees and vegetation that are at risk of falling into canals during a storm event.

Project Reaches The District’s project has the following three reaches:

 The C-100C Canal and its adjacent rights of way from its intersection with the C- 100A Canal north approximately 415 feet (within the Village of Palmetto Bay)  The C-100A Canal and its adjacent rights of way from SW 144th Street to SW 136th Street (within the Village of Palmetto Bay)  The C-100A Canal and its adjacent rights of way from SW 112th Street to US1 and also a large ficus tree at 13221 SW 69th Court (within the Town of Pinecrest)

Project Scope of Work The District’s contractor will trim or remove selected hazardous and exotic trees, litter, trash and debris along the north and south banks of the C-100C and C-100A canals within the project reaches set out above. The District anticipates that the project will impact approximately 85 properties.

Project Timeline The District anticipates that the contractor will begin work on this project in late January. The contractor will have 90 days to complete the project once work has begun.

Project Cost and Funding Source The total cost for the project is $320,000. The first phase of the project, which includes the first two reaches above, will cost $195,000. The second phase of the project, which is the third reach, will cost $125,000. The funding for the project is District ad valorem funds. TAB 3

From: Jeff Cutler [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 9:04 AM To: Guido H. Inguanzo, Jr. (OVC) Cc: The Honorable Gary C. Matzner; The Honorable Nancy L. Harter; The Honorable Gail D. Serota; The Honorable Joseph M. Corradino; Loren Matthews (PRD); Peter G. Lombardi (OVM); Alfredo Riverol (OVM) Subject: Art in the Parks Attachments: Squeaki.jpg; flower pot.JPG; Blue Dog.jpg; beachball.jpg

Dear Guido:

I already advised Council that I was able to secure a donation of a sculpture by Romero Britto for the opening of our Community Center & Library. (See below and attached). Loren Matthews is going to speak to Britto’s representative regarding the timing and installation of the chosen piece. Romero will also appear for the unveiling ceremony, if he is in town. If we “open” as presently contemplated in March, I understand he will be in Miami. I am advised that after our installation, he has one in London, then Milan, then in Cairo, so the Village of Pinecrest is in large company.

Please place on the Jan. agenda a discussion of same and selection of a one of four offered pieces.

I think it will be good idea that we have available for presentation at the meeting the attachments and specs below of the offered sculptures, the site plan, and cut out of the drive through area where we believe is the best location for the Britto sculpture. Alfredo and Loren were present for my on-site meeting with Romero and know what area I am talking about. Electronic versions for the screens in chambers are all I think is necessary.

Thanks.

Jeff Cutler [email protected]
