BACKGROUND:
It is recommended that the Boards of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West and Omni
Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agencies ("CRA") approve and adopt the attached Joint
Resolution authorizing the execution of agreements with the lowest responsive bidders of for: (1) CRA
landscape maintenance services in an amount not to exceed $43,412; (2) cleaning of CRA parking lots in an
amount not to exceed $14,400; and cleaning of CRA sidewalks in an amount not to exceed $20,000.
The Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency ("SEOPW CRA") and Omni
Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency ("Omni CRA") maintain properties that require
maintenance every two weeks including landscaping and clearing of trash and debris. The SEOPW CRA also
owns three (3) public parking lots in Overtown (P-2, P-3 and P-4) which require daily cleaning services.
Furthermore, the sidewalks in the redevelopment areas require pressure cleaning, including the removal of dirt,
mold, mildew, and gum.
On October 6, 2009, the CRA published Request for Service Nos. 09-01 for CRA landscape maintenance
services, 09-02 for cleaning of CRA parking lots, and 09-03 for CRA sidewalk pressure cleaning services. The
CRA received responses from eight bidders for each Request for Service. The lowest responsive bidders for
each Request for Service were as follows: No 09-01, landscape maintenance services, - SFM Services, Inc. at
$43,412; No. 09-02, cleaning of CRA parking lots, - BCLS Landscaping Group, Inc. at $14,400; and No 09-03,
pressure cleaning of CRA sidewalks, - SFM Services, Inc. at $111.14 per block.
JUSTIFICATION:
Section 2, Principle 10, at page 16, of the 2009 Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Plan prescribes
that "streets and buildings must be attractive" as a guiding principle for redevelopment.
Section 4.4, at page 42 of the 2009 Omni Redevelopment Plan lists "[e]nhanc[ing] the area's visual
attractiveness to businesses and residents" as a stated redevelopment objective.
This resolution accomplishes these objectives.
