ENCLOSURES:
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution accepting
the bid of D&A Window Cleaning Services, Inc., a non-local/female vendor, located at 983
Explorer Cove, Altamonte Springs, Florida 32701, for the provision of hi -rise window cleaning,
replacement, sealing and waterproofing services at the City of Miami Riverside Center building
(MRC), as stipulated in Bid No. 03-04-094, on a contractual basis, for two (2) years with the option
to extend for one (1) additional two-year periods, for an annual amount not to exceed $14,015 and
a total contract amount of $56,060.
Funding is available from the Department of General Services Administration, MRC Division,
Account Code No. 504000.421901.6.670 (FY'05).
BACKGROUND:
The requested contract is needed to continue providing routine hi -rise window cleaning and
waterproofing services for the City's Miami Riverside Center building located at 444 S.W. 2nd
Avenue. The contract also includes services such as sealing, glass replacement and boarding
operations. The contract shall provide for "First Priority" response under pre and post
hurricane/storm, civil disturbances, and other emergency situations.
Window cleaning should be considered a vital part of the building maintenance program. Though
the most common reason given for window cleaning is aesthetics, proper window cleaning is the
first defense against mold, leak detection, pest control (pigeon droppings, spiders, insects, etc.) that
may penetrate into buildings and cause the spread of diseases.
A clean exterior building promotes confidence within the community that you are a good neighbor
and care about its citizens. Since MRC is a public access building, this contract should be
considered a priority.
The Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Commission
