Rescinding Prior Award
FROM: R[FER[NC[S:
Cesar H. Odio _
City Manager ENCLOSURES:
ram,
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached resolution rescinding the resolution which awarded a
contract to Southeastern Concrete Floor, Inc., for the project
named North River Drive Highway Improvement; rejecting all bids
submitted March 18, 1986 in connection with said project, and
further authorizing the City Manager to readvertise for new bids.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Public Works has analyzed the need to rescind
the contract which exists between the City of Miami and
Southeastern Concrete Floor, Inc. for North River Drive Highway
Improvement. The proposed resolution rescinds said contract and
permits the solicitation of new bids.
Bids were received March 18, 1986 for North River Drive Highway
Improvement. As reflected in the tabulation of bids, the
$1,268,987.60 bid of Southeastern Concrete Floor, Inc., was the
lowest responsible bid for the total bid of the proposal, and a
contract was awarded to said firm on May 7, 1986.
New Florida statutes regarding insurance coverage and premiums
have made it extremely difficult for some contractors to obtain
the necessary insurance, as required to adequately protect the
City's interests. After several months of meetings with
personnel from various City department directly involved in the
processing of the contract to resolve problems, the contractor
has notified the Department of Public Works that his firm' s
insurance costs would obliterate any profits to be made on the
Job. The contractor has also been unable to procure a
satisfactory performance bond, and has requested to be released
from entering into a contract with the City.
Honorable Mayar and Members
of the City Commission
Ei ghi. 1 A ) months bave elapsed since the receipt of bids for this
project, bidding firm% are required to hold their bid prices only
for sixty (60) days after opening of bids. In addition, all
other bids received are in excess of the engineering estivate for
the project. In an effort to obtain more favorable bids, and
after exhausting all alternatives to a►vard a contract to a
responsible and responsive bidder, it will be to the advantage of
the City to rescind the prior resolution aad readvertise the
project.

Gontlown,
On March 18, 1984, 5Qut astern COncrste flow Co., engaged in
the bid of the abovntioned project, of which wre the apparent
low bidder. Athe time this project wad bid by S.t-C,.F., we were engaged
with the City of Miami's Bid Bond Voucher divert tO W ke the minority
Procurement Agent Adrian Macbeth.
Proceeding the award of the contract we have hM vArie s meetings
with the City of Miami officials from tha Department of Public Works
and General Services Administration Department, to establish &M define
the use of Resolution 84-423, namely for the purpose of a "Roll -Over"
Bond. Prior to the Submission of the bid for N.W. Borth River Drive.
S.E.C. F. had apparently miss understood the conept behind the "Polls
Over" Bond, this has become the reason for which S.E..F. has been
unable to meet the requirements of the City of Miami's perfo
bond for throuth Collingsworth Alter b Assoc. Inc. CollingAl
Assoc. Inc., will provide a performance bond for the the
project only with some harsh stipulations of which incl t) a `-
bond cost 2) a "Disbursement Service" Agreement. Only mi
two factors involved and the requirement set by the City I
retention program to insure a good product is d0twer tV S.f.C.F.,
we have come to the conclusion that it is ewrAWcal 04msible that
Southeastern Concrete Floor Co. engaged in a cottract of the ngnitAe
involved.
Therefore, after various enting with Public Works and ral
Services Administration Depavowt eficial's, Southeastern r*sWtfully
declines the acceptance of &V contractual agreement with the City
of Miami for contract 1-4501, N. W. North River Drive Highway Improve-
ment.
