RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached Resolution approving the findings of the Evaluation
Committee for RFP No. 91-92-102, as to the most qualified firm,
in rank order, to design, construct, acceptance test, finance,
own/operate a solid waste processing facility.
BACKGROUND
The City Commission authorized issuance of Request for Proposals
(RFP) No. 90-91-098, by Resolution No. 91-450, to select a firm
with the capabilities to undertake the above noted project, The
RFP was duly advertised, four (4) responses were received and
were evaluated by the selection committee. At its meeting of
July 16, 1992, the City Commission after presentations from two
proposers (Amerecycle, Inc. and Ecology Concepts/BDX), rejected
the findings of the selection committee and directed that a new
RFP be issued, to incorporate tipping fees, revenue sharing and a
performance bond among other criteria.
With the second RFP issuance, seven proposals were received on
February 31 1993. The evaluation committee was cgmprised of the
following seven (7) members:
Members from City Staff
Adrienne MacBeth, Deputy Director, Solid Waste Division
Carlos Poce, Accountant Supervisor, General Services
Administration and Solid Waste
Peter Serrao, Supervisor, Hurricane Recovery Team
Members from the Public
Dr. Manuel Cereijo, Florida International University
Andres Mejides, Miami Dade Community College
Dr. David Kuhn, Florida International University
Mosi Kitwana, Composting Director, US Conference of Mayors
The honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Commission

Two of the seven proposals were deemed non -responsive, therefore,
the selection committee evaluated and interviewed the remaining
five (5), which were ranked as listed below:
Company Name Rank
Bedminster Bioconversion/Seacor JV 1
Deneco, Inc 2
Coastal Recycling Industries 3
Amerecycle, Inc. 4
Ecology Concepts/Straub Capital JV 5
A synopsis of each firm is attached to this package. Though none
of the companies are headquartered in Dade County, Coastal is
located in Hollywood, Straub Capital in Palm Beach and Amerecycle
in Tampa, Florida. In addition, one of the firms, Daneco, is a
female -owned firm, while the others had minority participation
and/or subcontractors.

Dear Ms. Carter:

The undersigned law firm represents National Resource
Recovery Corp. ("NRRC") with regard to its proposal in response to
the City of Miami's RFP No. 91-92102 for the design, construction,
financing and operation of the City's solid waste processing and
composting facility ("Facility"). NRRC timely submitted a compre-
hensive proposal which offers the most technologically advanced
solid waste processing system available. NRRC's Triple -Sack -Single
Stop Collection System offers a complete In -Plant recycle system
which will eliminate the separation of collection of materials and
save the .City` in excess of $6°.5 million per year. `' NRRC has
previously built and operated two successful waste processing and
composting facilities in Gainesville, Florida and Houston, Texas
and has been involved in the building and operation of such
facilities for over twenty five years.
Despite NRRC's comprehensive proposal [which is superior
to.or at a minimum competitive with each of the proposals consid-
ered by the Certification Committee ("Committee*)], the Committee
found the proposal non -responsive to the RFP and declined to
consider the merits of the proposal. The Committee stated that the
proposal was non -responsive because it did not provide all of the,
requisite financial information and did not give details on the
Reference Plant Technical Data as to a currently` operating
facility.- The Committee did, however, consider other proposals
which failed to comply with material aspects of the RFP. NRRC

because it wag non -responsive in certain respects while deciding to
consider others which were similarly non -responsive is patently
unfair and contrary to the equal treatment which must be provided
to all entities bidding for City Contracts.
The latest addendum to the RFP dated December 31, 19920
was received by NRRC approximately three weeks prior to the dead-
line for submission of proposals, February 3, 1993. NRRC did not
have sufficient time to gather the requisite financial information
and it specifically stated in its proposal that the information
would be forthcoming at or before the Committee's interviews. A
review of the Committee's materials shows that other proposals
considered by the Committee failed to contain at least some of the
required financial information. Considering the short time period
for compliance and NRRC' s assurance that it would fully comply with
the RFP financial requirements prior to the Committee's interview
process, the merits of NRRC's proposal should have been considered.
With regard to the details on Reference Plant Technical
Data, NRRC provided substantial information regarding its prior
experience, including successful plants in Houston and Gainesville
as well as references from highly respected individuals active in
the industry. The fact that NRRC does not currently have an opera-
tional facility should not have disqualified it from consideration
as at least two other proposers ranked by the Committee do not have
a currently operating facility. For example, Coastal Recycling
Industries' proposal listed Reference Plant Technical Data on a
facility which it does not own. Nor did it participate in the
design, construction or operation of the facility. While Coastal
stated in its proposal that it was being purchased by a company
which owned and operated the facility, it clearly failed to comply
with the'RFP requirement. Additionally, Ecology Concepts listed a
facility that it has not operated for three years. NRRC's
experience in the industry far exceeds that of the other proposers
and accordingly it should not have been excluded pursuant to
Section 2.4 of the RFP specifications.
The Committee decided to review two proposals that failed
to comply with one of the most fundamental aspects of the RFP, the
proposal of a suitable site for the facility other than the City
owned er Bioconversion failed to submit (
a:gy— alternative site and Ecology Con sed a site so far O -
from the City that it would be cost pr
a viable alternative site location
pubstantial costs in comparison to th
ohibitive. NRRC recomme
which would save the City =

This project is one of the most important City projects
since the Dinner Key Marina project, and is of significant
importance to the City's citizens. The Committee and City Commis-
sion should have the opportunity to review all viable and competi-
tive plans prior to making its decision on the award of this
important contract. Unfortunately, due to the arbitrary and
inequitable certification process, NRRC has been excluded and its
proposal was never considered. For the above stated reasons, we
believe that it is in the best interests of the City of Miami for
the City Commission to re -bid this project for alternatively give
NRRC an opportunity to present its proposal to the Committee or
directly to the City Commission). This will assure that the City
awards this contract to the entity which can best serve the
citizens' interests.
We respectfully request that NRRC's protest be placed on
the City Commission's April 15, 1993, agenda.
