ing of the ordinance necessary to finalize the plans `or the

Meeting da+es for the next three months to held as follows:
May 2.3rd, .Tune 13th and July llth. Mr. White moved to accept

The Village Manager then advised that the Community Nation-
al Sank is planning to put in a small trust department in con-
it::ction with their bank operation. They are considering a
small addition of about 110C s^uare feet., however, this would
involve additional parking. As the Zoning :ordinance regt,ires
the parking to be contiguous and there is no adiacent land to
the bank parcel, they have askad that the Council consider
allowing them to provide a separate parking lot. Mr. Anderson
suggested that perhaps a variance could be worked out in this
rase and suggested no action until the final plans have ')een
au'mitted to the Village Manager.
Mr. Webb informed the Council that the Metropolitan Dade
County Planning Board had requested permission to appear be-
fore the Council tc present a progress report. It was unan-
imously agreed that Mr. Webb write and advise the "oard to

sented the refined general land Lite plan of Metropolitan

Mr. Webb presented the me.i ers with a tally of the
bids received on the Sewer and Water projects from our engin-
eers, Zurwelle-Whitta,cer, Inc. Mr. J. D. Roth stated six bids

examined, it was their recommendation that Widel.l Associates,

bidder. He further advised his office made an investigation
of the firm and they were fully qualified and responsible.
Mr. Roth stated there were three'uasi.c items in the Project,
namely, the Pumping Station, aariito;y Sewers and Water Mains
and Hydrants, and the specifications called for individual
bids on these three items in order that the 'Village would have
A breakdown on these cos.;s. However, the specifications called
for a lump sum hid. At this po'.nt d telegram was received
grid read by Mr. Webb from Dergell Associates stating they
would accept a separate controct for the sanitary sewers if
the Village would split up the three sections of the bid, A

struction Co. with the same proposal on their low section of
the bid. Mr. Pickle of Wideii Associates, inc. requested
permission to address the Council and reiterated that a lump
sum bio was requested in the specifications and he felt it
would be more desirable to have one contractor on the project
instead cf three, ;.hereby enauiinci the joo overhead to be kept
to a minimum. Mr. Anderson informed the Council that the bid
award could not be made today inasmuch as the financing was
not completed. Mr. Beatty moved that the awarding of the

Attorney.
Mr. Anderson informed the Council that after the adopt—
ion of Resolution No. 114 setting up the Sewer Districts S 1-2,
and providing for levying special assessments for the cost of the
work to be done, they tentatively agreed that instead of levying
a special assessment against the land, it was agreed to levy a
charge of $.70, per toilet per month in the improvement districts.
Now the Council must consider the adoption of a resolution which
is necessary, under Florida Statutes 184 F. St. 1963 and Section
184.09 (3) setting up the rates for the users of the sewage
disposal system to be served in Sewer Improvement District SI

Mr. Anderson briefed the members on the status of the
bids that were discussed previously, stating that the Widell
Associates, Inc. bid of $296,636.00 was the low bid. However,
two of the bidders had proposed that the sections of the contract
be awarded separately. He advised that under the hid terms they
could reject all bids or accept the low bid contingent on the
passage of the bond ordinance on June 13th. The Village engineers
recommend that the contract be awarded to the low bidder. Mr.
Anderson then cautioned the members that Widell Associates, Inc.
should be informed that their bid must be accepted on the condition
that the contract will not be awarded until the adoption of the
bond ordinance on June 13th. In this connection, Mr. Pickle of
Wideli Associates, Inc. stated they will be happy to cooperate in
this matter and will write a letter tc, this effect. Mr. Beatty
