The City Manager determined that 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- 86. The City Manager has made a written emergency finding justifying this action. Funds will become available from Transportation and Transit (one-half cent surtax) in Fiscal Year 2007-2008.
