Purpose of Item:
Requesting Department: Department of Police
Sponsored By:
District Impacted: All
A resolution of the Miami City Commission, with attachment(s), by a four-fifths (4/5ths)
affirmative vote, after an advertised public hearing, ratifying, confirming, and approving
the City Manager's recommendation and written findings, pursuant to Section 18-85(a)
of the Code of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended; waiving the requirements for
competitive sealed bidding methods as not being practicable or advantageous to the
City of Miami ("City") to rent extended length sports utility vehicles ("SUV") with Royal
Rent-A-Car Systems of Florida, Inc. "Royal", for the Miami Police Department "Police",
allocating funds from their general account number or other funding sources, subject to
the availability of funds and budget approval at the time of need; authorizing the City
Manager to negotiate and execute all other documents, including any amendments,
renewals, and extensions, subject to allocations, appropriations and budgetary
approval having been previously made, and in compliance with applicable provisions of
the Code of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended, ("City Code"), including, the City of
Miami's Procurement Ordinance, Anti -Deficiency Act, and Financial Integrity Principles,
all as set forth in Chapter 18 of the City Code, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney,
and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, as may be necessary for said
purpose.
Background of Item:
Police has a need for rentals of extended length sport utility vehicles ("SUV") for six (6)
Sergeant at Arms to perform their duties. These SUVs require that special lighting, and
other equipment that need to be installed without drilling or making permanent changes
or damaging the vehicles. Royal can provide new vehicles with almost no mileage to
allow Police to modify them and keep them between 12-18 months. The other vendor
on the Miami -Dade County contract cannot guarantee that the City can keep the SUVs
for that length of time. Every time that these six (6) SUVs are exchanged they have to
be done one (1) at time, and the City needs to keep both vehicles for a few days to
swap out the equipment. After swapping out all six (6) SUV's there is typically one (1)
month worth of additional rental fees associated with this exchange, in addition to the
resources used by Police to perform this task. Being able to obtain new SUVs allows
Police to keep the SUV's longer reducing total operating cost. By using Royal, the City
would save $8,895 per year, this is approximately a ten (10%) percent savings from the
current Miami -Dade County contract.
