FLORIDA uu-01-280 INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM August 1, 2001 ,';j' t FILE Lot Clearing Services in the Model City Homeownership Zone Gwendolyn C. Warren, Director Department of Community Development It is requested that you authorize the Department of Community Development to contract with Weed Away, Inc. and C & W Lawn Care,. Inc., to provide lot clearing services to vacant parcels of land in the Model City Homeownership Zone. The first phase of the Model City Homeownership Pilot Project includes an aggressive pursuit of land assembly for future development, beginning with the purchase of vacant properties in the impacted neighborhood. As the City moves forward with this project, it is critical that the properties being acquired are properly maintained to minimize any negative impact on the neighborhood prior to and during the development process. This will include the maintenance of in excess of 200 parcels. With the recent rains, neighborhood residents have expressed their displeasure over the overgrown lots in the area for which the City is responsible. These overgrown lots create a nitural environment that contributes the infestation of rodents and an increase of snakes in the area. In an effort to minimize this negative impact, it is requested that you authorize an increase to the contract of ,two existing vendors, Weed Away, Inc., by $30,000, and C & W Lawn Care Inc. by $30,000, to provide lot clearing services specifically in the Model City Homeownership Zone. These minority vendors have performed well through their existing contracts and have been identified as vendors that are sensitive to the issues facing the residents of the Model City neighborhood, including the recruitment of area residents to provide the contracted services. Grant Funds have been previously approved by the City Commission specifically to support the Model City Homeownership Pilot Project and are available for this purpose.

Initially, you authorized $60,000 to the aforementioned vendors for the provision of lot clearing* services on an interim basis on these lots while formal bids were solicited to meet this need on a lonL, term basis. Unfortunately, it has been determined that the bids submitted through the solicitation process were non-responsive and eventually rejected. thereby necessitating the opening of a new bid .elicitation. It is anticipated that this process will be completed prier to the rainy season, when there is a more frequent need for lot clearing services. As the City moves forward with this project, there is still a critical need to ensure that the properties being acquired are properly maintained to minimize any negative impact on the neighborhood prior to and during the development process. The original $60,000 authorization for lot clearing services has been depleted. In an effort to minimize a 'vse impact on the neighborhood, it is requested that you authorize an increase $100,000�o extend the purchase order for lot clearing services specifically in the Model t omeownership Zone to the existing vendors, Weed Away, Inc. and C & W Lawn Maintenance.

The finding of an emergency is based on the fact that the existing lighting system at Moore Park is obsolete and requires replacement of all light fixtures. When lights go out, they cannot be replaced because parts are no longeravailable. Therefore, we need your authorization to proceed with immediate ordering of light 'fixtures and installation through an informal bidding process so that current recreational activities are not disrupted This item will be placed on a commission agenda for ratification as soon as possible after the work is completed.
