Subject: Resolution Authorizing Payment to SFM Services. Inc. and SFM Janitorial
Purpose of Item:
It is respectfully requested that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution which authorizes the
City of Miami to pay SFM Services, Inc., a Florida Corporation and SFM Janitorial Services, LLC (collectively
"SFM") the sum of $16,987.57 for their post -September 29, 2007 payment of the City's living wage to
employees for maintenance services at the former Orange Bowl which are contractually based on turnstile
rates.
Background Information:
The City had compensated SFM for maintenance services rendered under a renewal contract based on
rates bid on June 22, 2004, prior to the enactment of the Living Wage Ordinance on April 6, 2006. SFM was
sued in a class action suit by some of its former and current employees alleging violation of the City's Living
Wage Ordinance and filed third party claims against the City of Miami, in the Circuit Court Case No: 07-08448
CA (25), in Miami, Miami -Dade County, Florida. SFM's damages claim centered on SFM's payment of living
wages to its employees and/or settlement of the class action claims at living wage rates, while the City had paid
SFM for contractual services at the lower renewal contract rate. The City of Miami Commission authorized,
pursuant to Resolution No. 08-0449, a settlement of the third party claims, without any admission of liability,
including payment to SFM of amounts consistent with living wage rates for services rendered which were
calculated through September 29, 2007. However, SFM argues that it paid its employees living wages in excess
of the contractual turnstile -based rates from September 30, 2007 through April 12, 2008 which were not
included in the settlement. SFM is now requesting payment from the City of $16,987.57. The Administration
concurs with SFM's request and recommends payment of the requested amount to compensate SFM for the
living wages paid to employees working on the "turnstile based" portion of the contract.
