ENCLOSURES:
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached resolution rescinding the resolution which awarded a
contract to Ocean Bay Construction, Inc., for the project named
Fort Dallas Park Plaza - Phase I; rejecting all bids submitted
June 17, 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 Ocean Bay
Construction, Inc., for Fort Dallas Park Plaza. The proposed
resolution rescinds said contract and permits the solicitation of
new bids.
Bids were received June 17, 1986 for Fort Dallas Park Plaza -
Phase I. As reflected in the tabulation of bids, the $84,995.00
bid of Ocean Bay Construction, 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.
