Dear Mr. Olmos:
CERTIFIED MAIL
I, as Chief Procurement Officer of the City of Miami, have read
your protest of September 19, 1991, investigated the issues, and
reviewed the pertinent documents, pursuant to my duties under
Section 18-56.1, City of Miami Code, Resolution of Protest
Solicitations and Awards.
You allege that the bid of Flavor Masters Food Emporium contained
errors and omissions which made it non -responsive to the bid
requirements.
The City has made a business decision not to consider the bid
from Flavor Master Food Emporium. Your protest is moot, deemed
without merit and is, therefore, rejected.
The City Manager and City Attorney have approved my decision.
The protest is scheduled for inclusion on the City Commission
agenda of November 14, 1991, at the City Commission Chambers,
City Hall, 3500 Pan American Drive, Miami.
Sincerely,
Judy S. Carter
