Rescinding Prior Award
FROM: REFERENGEf:
Cesar H. Odio
City Manager ENCLOSURES:
RECOMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached resolution rescinding the resolution which awarded a
contract to E. Sans & Associates, Inc., for the project named
Citywide Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project - Wyndwood, rejecting
all bids submitted June 24, 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 E. Sans b
Associates, Inc., for Citywide Sanitary Sewer Replacement
Project - Wyndwood. The proposed resolution rescinds said
contract and permits the solicitation of new bids.
Bids were received June 24, 1986 for Citywide Sanitary Sewer
Replacement Project - Wyndwood. As stated in tabulation of bids,
the $43,380.00 bid of E. Sans & Associates, Inc., was the lowest
responsible bid for the total bid of the proposal, and a contract
was awarded to said firm on July 10, 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 cannot
provide the necessary coverage for this project.
In an effort to obtain more favorable bids, and after exhausting
all alternatives to award a contract to a responsible and
responsive bidder, it will be to the advantage of the City to
rescind the prior resolution and readvertise the project.
