CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA
INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Pedro G. Hernandez DATE: December 11, 2008 FILE:
City Manager
SUBJECT: Waiver of Competitive
Procurement Requirements:
Approval of Proposals and
Issuance of Purchase Order
FROM: Ola 0. Aiuko REFERENCE: Grapeland Park Project,
Director 4 B-35828
Department of Capital Improvements ENCLOSURES:
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Resolution R-05-0137, the City Commission granted approval to enter into a Design -
Build Agreement with Recreational Design & Construction, Inc. (RDC) for the Grapeland Park
Project, B-35828. Bureau Veritas North America d/b/a Bureau Veritas (Bureau Veritas) performed
environmental services for the Grapeland Park Project as a Sub -Consultant to RDC. They are no
longer working with RDC for this project.
DERM requires additional documents and groundwater monitoring for a minimum of one year for the
project. Bureau Veritas is familiar with the site history, existing contaminants and closure routes,
exiting engineering controls, additional engineering controls, and submittal of the closure
documentation and additional monitoring schedule.
FINDING
In the interest of maintaining continuity of work, it has been determined by the Capital Improvements
Program (CIP) that using another environmental consultant would considerably delay closure and
ultimately cost the City undue additional expenditures. CIP finds that it is most practicable and
advantageous to the City for Bureau Veritas to perform the additional work, rather than competitively
solicit the work.
We recommend that the City Manager concur to waive the formal requirements set forth in the Code
of the City of Miami, as amended in sections 18-87, 18-90 and under Florida Statutes Section
287.055 and affirm, adopt these findings and forward the matter to the City Commission for its
approval.
Your signaturebei I signify your concurrence with the above recommendation and your
assimilation of th se fi ings as your own justification for the waiver of competitive bidding
procedures and the lection of the specified firm.
