ENCLOSURES : Resolution
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached Resolution authorizing the annual purchase of asphaltic
concrete on an as -needed, when -needed basis for the Department of
Public Works from those suppliers under effective contract with
Metropolitan Dade County, subject to the availability of funds.
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works, in an effort to serve all
residents of the City of Miami, has determined that it is in the
best interest of the City to purchase asphalt from suppliers
under contract with Metropolitan Dade County.
The Department of Public Works is responsible for emergency and
routine repairs of City streets and asphaltic concrete is the
material utilized for said repairs. Dade County competitively
bids and formally awards contracts each year for furnishing
asphaltic concrete to itself, municipalities and other
governmental agencies county -wide. It is to the City's advantage
to utilize these widely scoped Dade County contracts to achieve
cost savings for the purchase of asphalt for use by the City's
Department of Public Works. Said county contracts meet the
City's bidding requirements for furnishing asphaltic concrete.
Funds for purchasing asphaltic concrete on an as -needed, when -
needed basis for the Department of Public Works are included in
the annual operating budget of said Department.
Adoption of this Resolution will authorize the annual purchase of
asphaltic concrete utilizing Dade County contracts up to a total
cost not to exceed $150,000. Purchase orders issued for said
asphaltic concrete shall be issued subject to availability of
funds.
