July 3, 1997 Mr. Walter Foeman City Clerk Miami City Hall 3500 Pan American Dr. Miami, FL 33133 Dear Mr. Foeman: It has been a pleasure working with you in the development of the Shake -A -Leg Miami program. Shake -A -Leg Miami has grown through a grass routs effort involving people from all sectors of the community. You have always been there to help and we are turning to you now for your continued support. We would like to ask you for two things. 1 As you know we have been working with the City of Miami to expand our current programs and develop a world class water sports center. We have made significant progress and will be presenting our plan to the City of Miami Commission on July 1 Oth. It would be a big help to us if you would send a letter to any of the city commissioners you know or would like to petition on our behalf. Attached is a brief explanation of the proposed water sports center and a sample letter to the city commissioners requesting their approval of our plans. Your support on this will give us that little extra that might mean the difference between success and delayl 2. To assist us in demonstrating our broad based community support and to insure that we continue to have the necessary guidance and support to achieve our ambitious plans, we are formerly creating a board of advisors. We would like you to become a member of this board. Board members will be called on from time to time for advice and support. We will list you as a member of the board of advisors which will be included in our proposal before the City Commission. We appreciate your support and I will be calling you to discuss Shake -A -Leg Miami and our plans in more detail. Thank you for your consideration. Best wishes for an enjoyable Independence Day weekend. Sincerely, Harry R. Horgan Executive Director 2600 South Bayshore Drive i Miami. fl,: (M 33133 r Ph- (305) 858.5550 Fax: ( � 62 \\da' P.O2 .

Macdonald Foundation, Inc., I am writing to request your affirmative vote for the Shake -A -Leg Miami plan developed for the former Coast Guard Seaplane Base in Coconut Grove. As an organization that has provided significant programmatic support for Shake -A -Leg Miami, we have been pleased with the return on our investment. . Currently operating out of a temporary facility on the property, Shake -A -Leg Miami continues to do an incredible job of serving the needs of all segments of Miami's population. While Shake -A -Leg Miami's primary mission is to serve and improve the quality of life and capabilities of the physically and developmentally disabled in a unique sailing program, the resulting outreach it has made into all areas of the community - at -risk children, college students, professionals in all walks of life, community organizations, national and international sailing professionals, and so many others - is a tribute to the organization's vision and capability. The opportunity for the City of Miami to take advantage of Shake -A -Leg Miami's plan to develop an International Water Sports Center for the recreational use of the residents of Miami will be a tremendous step forward for this entire community. Throughout its operation, Shake -A -Leg Miami has received broad -based community support. That support has grown substantially in the past several years, not only in human resources, but through significant funding support. Of particular note is the funding which will be available through the Trust for Safe Neighborhood Parks Act which will help finance the construction of this Center, *and was approved by Dade County voters in November of 1996. This proposed facility will provide quality, affordable programs to all members of the community and from around the world and will be a showcase for the City of Miami. Shake -A -Leg Miami is uniquely suited and qualified to take a leadership role in the development of this Center and is poised to take that step. Your support of this project is greatly appreciated. You will be proud of the results of your vision in supporting such a public -private partnership for the good of all our community's residents and visitors. Enclosure SALCOMMOC CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO :Judy S. Carter DATE, May 1, 1997 FILE Director SUsJECTBid No. 96-97-055R Hi -Rise Window Cleaning and 12 Waterproofing Services FROW-�o REFERENCES: Pamela E. Burns Sr. Procurement Contracts Officer ENCLOSURES: Please be advised this is the second time this service has been bid. The first, Bid No. 96-97-026, was rejected as only one (1) bid was received. As a result, some specifications were slightly changed, and the bid was re -issued and a total of 64 bid packages were mailed. The bid opened April 23, 1997. Two (2) bids were received. One included the same firm who responded pursuant to Bid No. 96-97-026 (Cliffhanger), and one additional firm (Sky Hanger). A bid tabulation was prepared comparing the prices submitted by the two firms, and a close evaluation revealed a disparity in pricing. Item #1 was the item to determine award to the lowest responvise vendor. This item included as a minimum, on a semiannual basis, the cleaning of all MRC windows and the pressure cleaning of all exterior paver areas surrounding the facility; and on a quarterly basis the cleaning of mdin lobby windows, cross -members and ledges in the lobby, and the pressure cleaning of the north and south entranceways. The lowest price quoted for this service was $1,500 per year by Cliffhanger. I contacted Steve Shaw, Facility Manager for the MRC and the individual who prepared the specifications. Upon his review of the pricing, he advised that the low firm (Cliffhanger) could not possibly perform the required work at the prices quoted. As a result, a conference telephone call was placed with Mr. Roberto Calderin, President of Cliffhanger. After our discussion, he advised his firm had indeed made a mistake in the prices quoted and could not perform the work according to specifications at that price. Subsequently, he FAX'd another price sheet to me and quoted a new and higher price of $12,280.00 for Item #1 ($4,120.00 higher than the bid of Sky Hanger). As Cliffhanger was unable to perform the work at the original prices quoted and prices cannot be changed after the bid opening, the bid response from Cliffhanger, Inc. was deemed non -responsive. Although only one firm was deemed responsive (Sky Hanger), I recommend this bid be accepted for the following reasons: (1) This was the second time this service has been bid, and the service is required as soon as possible; (2) There are no guarantees that any other firms will bid should a third bid be issued; and (3) Sky Hanger provided the lowest responsive and responsible price. Your approval is hereby requested below. PROVE P VED: r � 111 y . Ca Dat C f rocurement Officer DRUG -SCREENING SERVICES Items 28 & 29 of the June% 1997 City Commission Agenda The Department of Human Resources in conjunction with the Departments of Fire -Rescue and Police developed a Request for Proposal (RFP) to secure drug screening services, The RFP was divided into the following three parts; 1) Employment Drug Screening Services 2) Police and Fire Drug Screening Services 3) DOT Alcohol and Controlled Substances Testing, Part I'for Employment Drug Screening Services has been rejected and will be reissued. The RFP will be clarified and revised and should result in a more.cost effective and efficient delivery of service. The Evaluation Committee comprised of Ruben Camp, RN, Mercy Outpatient Center, Mike Edwards, Records Administrator, Metro Dade County and Renee S. Tones, City of Miami reviewed the responses to Parts li & Ill. Veldora Arthur, Fire -Rescue, Sharon Simpkins and Sgt. Audrey Brown served as non -voting members of the Committee. It was determined in both cases, that Toxicology Testing Service was non -responsive due to the fact that the RFP required that the provider's collection site be in the City of Miami. Toxicology's proposal recommended utilizing Government Center has a collection site, however, after hours Mt. Sinai on Miami Beach would be the collection site. Item 28 Part If is to provide drug screening services for sworn police and fire personnel pursuant to the labor agreements. ftem 29 Part Ill is to provide drug screening services pursuant to the federal government's Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 which requires that certain employees with a commercial driver's license, who operate a commercial vehicle weighing over 26,001 pounds, transports 16 or more passengers or transports hazardous materials undergo random drug testing. Approximately 260 employees throughout the City are subject to this testing. Cedars/Columbia Medical Center was deemed most responsive to the RFP for both Parts 11 & III. 42 RFP invitations were sent out and only 2 responses were received. RSJ la �l CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM To . The Honorable Mayor and DATE FILE Members of the City Commission SUBJECT Resolution Authorizing the Lease/Purchase of a Microfilm Reader Printer FROM: Edward Marquez REFERENCES City Manager ENCLOSURES - RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution authorizing the lease/purchase of a Microfilm Reader Printer equipment for the Microfilm Office of the Building and Zoning Department. This equipment will be leased/ purchased from PMI Imaging Systems Inc., (Gary Schwartz and David J. Vollmers, owners), a non- minority/non-local vendor, located at 2100 Park Central North, Suite 300, Pompano Beach, Florida. The annual cost of the lease/purchase, including maintenance, will not exceed $11,460.96. Funds are available in the Fiscal Year 1996-1997 budget of the Building and Zoning Department. BACKGROUND: The Department of Building and Zoning has determined that this equipment is needed since the present printer is over nineteen (19) years old and in constant need of repairs. Eighteen (18) invitations for bids were mailed and two (2) bids were received. It was determined that PMI Imaging, Inc. submitted the lowest, most responsible and responsive bid for the leasing of this equipment. Due to the rapid change in technology, a lease/purchase for four (4) years at a cost of $11,460.96 per year, which includes maintenance, is being recommended rather than an outright purchase of $39,445. If the system does not meet the department's expectations, PMI Imaging Systems, Inc. will take the unit back at no cost to the City, within the first thirty (30) day period. The Microfilm Office is a revenue producer. It charges the public for copies of plans, tax cards, and blueprints. The new Microfilm Canon NP-700 Reader Printer has the capability of reading and printing 16 mm / 35 mm rolls of films, in addition to a two (2) hours response time for maintenance servicing.
