The Department of General Services Administration and Solid Waste
inunediately requested written quotations from several vendors for
this service, following the massive destruction of property and
trees during Hurricane Andrew which created an inordinate amount
of debris in City streets and posed a threat to the health and
safety of the citizens. Solid Waste crews and private
contractors have deposited this debris at several locations
within the City, including Virginia Key, for disposal at a later
date.
The overwhelming
quantities of debris do not
allow for
utilization of the
composting and mulching process
for debris
disposal. It was estimated that if the City were to
follow these
procedures, it could take as long as two years to dispose
of the
r
debris generated in
the wake of Hurricane Andrew and storage of
this material would
have been impossible. Further,
Dade County
disposal sites are
not available for the disposal
of tree and
I
vegetative debris.

In view of the above, the alternative was to burn the debris,
eliminating the need to wait for the much longer process of
composting and/or mulching and/or stockpiling this debris. It
was determined that the most efficient manner of disposing of

The City requested informal bids for this service and a burn site
was developed to handle the problem. Of the three vendors
contacted, Central Florida Equipment was the only company
submitting a quote that could immediately provide the necessary
specialized equipment to perform this service. The contract
award for a three-month period amounted to $261,000.
Once in place, it immediately became evident that one unit alone
could not handle the large quantities of debris stored and being
collected daily, therefore another site was created. Three
written quotations were then solicited and the lowest was
submitted by Kostmayer Construction Company, at a cost of
$377,000, to operate two burn units for two (2) months.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members DATE: SE `° 21992 FILE
of the City Commission
SUBJECT : Finding of Emergency
Due to Hurricane Andrew
FROM : Cesar H. Od REFERENCES
City Manage A�

ENCLOSURES:
On August 24, 1992, the City of Miami suffered the wrath of a devastating
hurricane, Hurricane Andrew. In order to eliminate immediate threats to the
life, health and safety of residents and employees, and eliminate immediate
threats to undamaged property, as well as ensure economic recovery to the City
and the community, I have made a written finding of a valid public emergency.
Based on this finding, formal competitive sealed bid and selection procedures
will be waived for the procurement of services, equipment, goods and/or
materials that may be required to provide immediate burden relief and disaster
assistance for the City and the community for the purpose of providing for the
health, safety and welfare of its citizens and employees.
In addition, the City's insurance will not cover any loss of business
resulting from delays in the normal procurement procedures; therefore, it is
necessary to waive formal competitive bid and selection procedures and utilize
the informal bid process instead.
