September 12, 2006, the City Commission adopted Resolution 06-0513 authorizing the City

FINDING
The Office of Transportation 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 18-86.
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
acceptance of these findings as your own justification for the waiver of competitive bids and the
selection of the spe ;;i_m.
