Morningside Park—FloatingDocks: On May 14, 2001, the City Manager approved an emergency finding to waive formal bids for the procurement of floating docks at Morningside Park to start a sailing program. The emergency finding did not provide for the permitting services necessary to obtain the environment permits required to install the floating docks. Since the floating dock project was an emergency and the City did not have the expertise to obtain the required permits, the Parks and Recreation and the Public Works Departments moved forward with the solicitation of proposals from three (3) engineering firms experienced in environmental permitting. The Environmental Development Consultants Corp. (EDC) submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid in the amount of $4,475. EDC prepared and submitted the required environmental permit applications. After considerable delay by the environmental permitting agencies, the required permits were finally obtained to install the floating docks. Legion Park — Shoreline Stabilization: The shoreline at Legion Park has been eroding away, it is full of debris and there is an urgent need for a shoreline stabilization project. The Parks and Recreation Department needed additional funding to do the project and they contacted the Florida inland Navigation District (FIND) for grant funds and were advised they would have to expedite a grant application with the required environmental permits to obtain funding this year. To meet the deadline, Parks and Recreation solicited proposals from three (3) engineering firms experienced in environmental permitting and FIND grants that could meet the deadline for submittal. The Environmental Development Consultants Corp. (EDC) submitted the lowest responsive and responsible proposal in the amount of $4,475. EDC was directed to proceed with the permitting and grant application work and Parks and Recreation Department did obtain the $90,000 FIND grant. Carlos A. Gimenez City Manager Page 2 of 2 The City Manager's approval is needed to open up purchase orders to pay EDC for their services on both projects.
