Subject: A Resolution ratifying, confirming and approvingthe e City Manager's written
finding, to waive competitive sealed bidding methods for the disposal of waste collection
at Sun Recycling.
Background Information:
The Department of Solid Waste and Public Works have determined that it is not
practicable and advantageous to the City to obtain competitive bids; and, therefore
recommends waiving competitive sealed bidding methods to dispose waste at the Sun
Recycling facility. The use of Sun Recycling would be limited to the use of the disposal
of construction debris, asphalt and municipal solid waste collected with mechanical
sweepers.
Sun Recycling, which is located in the City of Miami limits at 2000 N. Miami Avenue, is
within three (3) miles of both City departments located at 1290 NW 20 Street, allowing
for a reduction of travel time, savings on fuel costs, and minimizes operators' regular
wages/overtime premium payments and damages to the city equipment/vehicles. The
sweepers are better accommodated at the Sun Recycling facility, wherein the Department
of Solid Waste employees' have routinely experienced damages of the undercarriages of
their sweepers at the Miami -Dade County facilities. Additionally, the disposal costs at
the Miami -Dade County facilities are $60.43 per ton (or $72.33 per ton at the County
Transfer Facilities). The disposal fee charged by Sun Recycling ranges from $40.23 per
ton for concrete to $62.97 per ton for asphalt. The use of the Sun Recycling facility
would net both department significant savings of disposal costs for these kinds of
materials.
Pursuant to Section, 18-85, as amended, the City Manager has waived competitive sealed
bidding methods via the written finding and reasons supporting his conclusion herein.
Thus, said conclusion must be ratified, confirmed, and approved by the Miami City
Commission by a four-fifths (4/5ths) affirmative vote during an advertised public
hearing.
