Members of the City
Commission SUBJECT: Garbage and Trash
Collection Alterna-

FROM: Howard V. Gary REFERENCES:
City Manager
ENCLOSURES:
It is recommended that the City Manager be
authorized to enter into a Professional
Services Agreement with Government Finance
Research Center and Systems Management
Associates, Inc., a joint venture, for the
purpose of preparing a report, study and
analysis of various alternative trash and
garbage collection methods, as authorized by
Resolution No. 84-990, passed September 13,
1984.
Resolution No. 84-990 authorized the City Manager to publicize
Requests for Proposals (RFP) for qualified professional
consultants to prepare a report on various methods of collecting
trash and garbage for the City of Miami. Consistent with
established procedures, the RFP was advertised in four
newspapers. Two responses were received and were analyzed by a
special committee appointed by the City Manager.
This special committee recommended that the City enter into a
contract with Government Finance Research Center and Systems
Management Associates, Inc. for a total cost not to exceed
$50,000, as provided in Resolution No. 84-990. The committee
found that both firms appeared to be well qualified to perform
the required study. However, the committee felt that the joint
venture proposal would better serve the needs of the City for
three reasons:
1. Government Finance Research Center is a
national organization composed of finance
officers from municipalities across the
nation and has on file considerable data
pertinent to the study to be undertaken and
has immediate access to data from all its
members.

Commission
2. Government Finance Research Center appeared
to have more experience in the analysis and
research related to local government
operations. Additionally, it was felt that
this organization's position was strengthened
since one of the participants assigned to
this project is an authoritarian author of
publications dealing with methods of casting
government service.
3. All consultants were advised in the Request
for Proposal that minority participation was
a criteria for selection. Government Finance
Research Center formed a joint venture with
Systems Management Associates, a local
minority management firm. The second firm
submitting a proposal did not provide
evidence of minority participation, but did
indicate that if they were selected they
would comply with the City's Minority
Procurement Program Ordinance.
