It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt a
resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into contract
in accordance with RFP 92-93-105 with Advanced Data Processing
and Consolidated Medical Services for the billing of Rescue
services. Accounts will be split 50/50 for the first year between
the two vendors, split 75/25 during the second year, and either
50/50, or 90/10 during the third year with the higher percentage
going to the most efficient vendor.
Advanced Data Processing is a minority/Dade County vendor located
at 520 N.W. 165th St. Rd., Suite 201 Miami, Florida 33169 and
Consolidated Medical Services is a non minority/Dade County
vendor located at 10685 SW 88th Street, Miami, Florida 33176.
We estimate that the cost of these collections services for the
period of January 29, 1993 to December 31, 1993 will be $130,000
froin a projected revenue of $1,200,000 from the Rescue Transport
fees, and the non -City resident car fire fees.
These fees are to be taken from Account Code #280501-340.
BACKGROUND:
RFP 92--93-105 was put out to solicit vendors for the collection
of Rescue transport fees. Advanced Data Processing and
Consolidated Medical Services were the only responders to the
RFP. A committee was formed to choose the best vendor and the
results were close enough that an even 50/50 split of the
contract was decided upon. This split will change yearly
awarding a higher percentage of the contract to the vendor that
brings in most revenue for the City.
This new contract is for the first year of a three year contract.
This contract eliminates a previous $2.00 per account fee,
significantly lowering the costs to the City by a projected
$32,000.

In order to choose the best proposal from two bidders, a
selection committee was formed to rate each bidder by using a
predetermined set of criteria provided to the bidders in RFP 92-
93-015. The committee was composed of Procurement Supervisor Sara
Gonzalez, Rescue Division Chief J.R. Mestas, Department of
Computers liaison Gary Lehnhard and myself.
It was the group's consensus after rating the bidder proposals
on their qualifications, their experience, the completeness of
the proposal and price, that Consolidated Medical Services (CMS)
would be. the most responsive to our needs. However, Advanced Data
Processing was significantly close enough in the running, that a
50/50 split of the contract was decided upon.
We request that Consolidated Medical Services and Advanced Data
Processing be designated as the most qualified responsible and
responsive bidders in reference to RFP No. 92-93-015 for the
billing of Rescue services.
This department has verified that funds are available with the
Department of Budget to cover the cost of the attached contract
