ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that a resolution ratifying the
City Manager's authorization to utilize the services of EnviRx,
Inc., 3916 N. 29 Avenue, Hollywood, Florida, for the removal of
lead contaminants from the Miami Police Department firing range,
in the amount of $17,257, be approved.
The Police Department is proceeding in the renovation of its
firing range. During the initial study it was determined that
lead contaminants found in the range and surrounding areas had to
be removed prior to the installment of any new equipment.
Because of the dangers associated with lead contaminants, and the
delays associated with the formal bid process, a determination
was made to allow EnviRx, Inc., to perform the cleanup on an
emergency basis. Two other vendors were contacted, with EnviRx
being the only vendor to submit a bid.
The original estimate for this cleanup was $14,762, as evidenced
by the copy of the emergency request attached to this memorandum.
After the approval was granted Public Works made additional
recommendations which increased the, actual cost of cleanup to
$17,257. The delay in beginning work from the time of the
Manager's approval was caused by the inherent liabilities
associated with the removal of toxic wastes. Work could not
begin until a comprehensive agreement was reached with EnviRx,
Inc.

Your emergency approval authorizing a Po ice Nrtment to
forego the formal bid process in obtaining estimates for the
cleanup of lead contaminants in the Police Department Firing
Range and further authorizing the cleanup on an emergency basis
is requested.:
On September 18, 1990 the Police Department received a report
from A C Laboratories Inc., regarding the amount of lead
contaminants in and around the firing range. At that time, BKJ
Services, Inc., and EnviRx were contacted for estimates on
removing these contaminants.
The Police Department is in the process of reviewing the proposal
submitted by EnviRx. BKJ Services, Inc., has not responded. The
Department of Public Works, has assisted in this review and their
recommendations have been approved by the vendor. Once the
Police Department is able to clarify some minor details, the
proposal will be sent to the Law Department for review.
Because of the serious nature of lead contaminants, and the
safety and well-being of employees working in and around the
range area, it is requested that the formal bid process be
foregone and the services of EnviRx be utilized. Their estimate
of $14,762 does not include the cost of disposal, because this
figure cannot be calculated until EnviRx is certain of the amount
of hazardous waste that must be removed.
Requiring the Police Department to go through the formal bid
process would only prolong a dangerous situation. Furthermore,
for police personnel to travel to and from the Medley range, for
any shooting exercise, adds to mileage on vehicles, time away
from the street, and increased risk to officers and vehicles due
to the extended driving requirement. Your attention o this
matter is greatly appreciated.
