agenda item, PH.6, waiving competitive negotiation methods and procedures; selecting
Exceptional Consulting for Educational Leaders. Inc. ("Service Provider") as the most qualified
firm to provide instruction, family activities, mentoring, community workshops, and other such
activities in conjunction with educational services at various day-care centers within the City of
Miami ("City") for the City's Families First Parenting Program; and authorizing the City
Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement in an amount not to exceed eighty thousand
dollars ($80,000.00) with the Service Provider.
The item should have been adopted with modifications because the legislation contained
