TITLE
RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE COUNTY MAYOR OR COUNTY MAYOR�S DESIGNEE TO PREPARE AND PRESENT TO THE BOARD WITHIN NINETY (90) DAYS A REPORT ANALYZING METHODS AND STRATEGIES TO LOWER COSTS ON COUNTY CAPITAL PROJECTS

BODY

WHEREAS, this Board is dedicated to the efficient use of County taxpayer dollars; and
WHEREAS, to maximize the most efficient use of County taxpayer dollars, it is incumbent that costs on capital projects be lowered to the extent feasibly and reasonably possible; and
WHEREAS, cost-savings and efficiencies in County capital projects simplify and encourage the development of future capital projects beneficial to the well-being of our community,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that the Board directs the County Mayor or the County Mayor�s designee to provide a report to the Board analyzing methods and strategies to lower costs and maximize efficiencies on County capital projects within ninety (90) days of the effective date of this resolution. The report shall include, but shall not be limited to analyzing Miami-Dade County procedures, Code provisions, any applicable implementing and administrative orders and whether any such County procedures, Code provisions and applicable administrative and implementing orders may be modified to maximize cost-savings and efficiencies in capital projects. The report to this Board shall also include strategies and recommendations to maximize cost-savings and efficiencies in capital projects primarily performed by the County�s own staff.
