Enclosures: Legislation and bids
It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners of the Omni Redevelopment District Community
Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") approve and adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the execution of a
professional services agreement between the CRA and Horsepower Electric, Inc. to provide streetlight
maintenance services on CRA maintained streetlights for a period of one (1) year, at a total cost not exceed
$15,000 with the option to renew for four (4) additional one (1) year periods.
Currently, the CRA has an agreement for streetlight maintenance with Underpower Corp. and this agreement
was executed and renewed continuously since 2002. In an effort to reduce costs, the CRA staff determined that
it would be advantageous to re -bid the streetlight maintenance services.
On February 3, 2011, the CRA issued a Request for Service 11-01 for streetlight maintenance services. The
CRA received two (2) responsive bids and the lowest responsible bidder recommended by staff was
Horsepower Electric, Inc.
For reference, the lowest responsible bidder's price represents a 54% savings over our current contract for the
same services. In addition, Horsepower Electric, Inc. currently has the Miami -Dade County wide streetlight
maintenance contract.
JUSTIFICATION:
Section 4.4, D., at page 42, of the 2009 Omni Redevelopment Plan lists the "[enhancement of] the area's visual
attractiveness to businesses and residents," as a stated redevelopment objective.
FUNDING: $15,000 from Omni Tax Increment Fund, "Other Contractual Services," Account Code No.
