ENCLOSURES:
BACKGROUND
The City Commission adopted Resolution 04-0379, on June 19, 2004, authorizing the allocation
of funds from the Transportation and Transit Special Revenue Funds (the City's share of the
half penny transportation surtax) in the amount of $300,000 to be used for transportation
services provided by Action Community Center, Inc. On September 22, 2005, the City
Commission adopted Resolution 05-0572 authorizing the City Manager to execute the First
Amendment, extending the Agreement between the City of Miami (City) and Action Community
Center (Action) for an additional one-year period through September 30, 2006. Action is
requesting that the City Commission authorize the City Manager to execute a Second
Amendment which will grant an additional extension from October 1, 2006 through September
30, 2007 in the amount of $300,000 for the same transportation services.
FINDING
The Department of Capital Improvements and Transportation (CIT) finds and determines that it
is in the best interest of the City to waive competitive bids and continue the services of Action
Community Center Inc., for transportation services in the City of Miami.
Action Community Center, a non-profit corporation, offers the City the most advantageous
agreement based on a combination of successful extensive experience, hands-on management,
quality control and local resources and would minimize the adverse impact of reducing
transportation services to an average of 5,500 monthly transit dependent riders in Miami. To
accomplish this it is necessary to waive the competitive proposal process under City Code
Section 18-36.
As provided in accordance with Sections 18-86 and 18-90 of the Code of the City of Miami, we
recommend that the City Manager affirm and adopt these findings and forward the matter to the
City Commission for its approval.
Your signature below will signify your concurrence with the above recommendation and your
assimilation of these findings as your own justification for the waiver of competitive bids and the
selection of the specified firm.
