ENCLOSURES:
An investigation was conducted by staff to determine whether Water Management Technologies dba USA
Pelican, Inc., located at 10400 NW 33 Street, Suite 200, Miami, Fl 33172, is the sole source service
provider for the "Scavenger 2000 Depollution Boat" for the surface cleaning of canals, outfalls, and the Bay,
for one year, with the option to extend for two additional one year periods. Funding, in an annual amount not
to exceed $200,000, is from the Public Works Operations Budget, Account Number 001000.311003.6.270.
The Department of Public Works is seeking to establish a term contract with Water Management
Technologies dba USA Pelican, Inc. for the utilization of its "Scavenger 2000 Depollution Boat." This
vessel will continue to reduce the contamination and pollution of all navigable canals, outfalls, and Biscayne
Bay waters, as proposed to the City. It is a surface trash collector that utilizes proprietary technology, with a
patent pending due to its uniqueness, for a decontamination and oxygenation process that has proven to be
beneficial to all navigable waterways by deep injection of pure oxygen. In addition, 262 outfalls will be
cleaned as part of the National Pollutant Discharge Environmental System (NPDES) Permit educational
requirements.
The City desires to continue to utilize this unique technique to surface clean the navigable water within the
City. On May 22, 2003 and pursuant to Resolution 03-593, the City Commission confirmed a prior sole
source finding of the Chief Procurement Officer and approved the City Manager's recommendation for the
acquisition of these sole source services. At this time, the City is seeking to establish a term contract for the
continued provision of these unique services.
Accordingly, 1 am recommending that the requirements for formal competitive sealed bidding be waived,
and these findings be approved: Water Management Technologies dba USA Pelican Inc., located at 10400
