Section 18-90 of the City Code, authorization to waive a competitive bid process is required in
order to secure this asset.

condition. Marine Stadium Marina is a 300 vessel dry storage facility open seven (7) days a
week, thirteen (13) hours a day. The forklifts are vital to the ongoing marina operations and
provide daily in -out service to marina customers as well as facility's service/repair commercial
tenant.
Your approval will provide the Procurement Department permission to proceed with the
purchase. Upon your approval, and pursuant to Section 18-90 of the City Code, an item will be
prepared for ratification of this emergency procurement for the next Commission meeting.

agenda one tl) year [irony non. so that the City Commission can review the lease agreement fin.
'hither consideration before ererrising the option to renew.
Chair Gott. RE.1 was referral [sic]. RE.2.
Commissioner Carotin: Two.
Daniel Rotenberg: RE.2. Good morning. Daniel Rotenberg, director of Department of Real
Estate & .asset :blanagentent. RE.2 is a resolution, requiring a faro ;/Ohs affirmative vote,
approving the Cih' 1t.lanager's emergencyfindingJor the City of:4lianti to waive competitive
.sealed bidding processes --procedures pursuant to Sections IS-90 and l,4-83 of the City Code:
authorizing the procurement/lease of a marine finkliji for Miami ,Warine Stadium. The one that's
currently at Miami Marine Stadium is 20years or older and is filling apart. This is for a
Jive -year period: a ortc-year lease. with %our• one-year options. And we --
Chair Gort: Thank you.
Mr. Rotenherg: -- do have a five maintenance contract thrown in for rear one.
Chair God: Okay. ..Iny questions? Motion.
Commissioner Sarnoff: So more.
Chair Gor t: lt's been proved by Commissioner Sarnoff
Connnissioner Camlla: Second.
Chair Gori: Second by Commissioner- Cavallo. [lee Chairman Hardemon, you're recognized.
Vice Chair Hatdemon: Yes. The terms of the deal in regard to the one-year extension periods,
how did you end tip getting dial part of the deal worked out? Does that have anything to do with
the monthly fee that you're paying even, single month?
rLli. Rutenhery• Yes. Mint we did was we took a payment -- the ntnnthh' payment is S5.R19;
annual payment is abnost 70.000. After Jive years, we will own the forklift. So, if we decide not
to continue on at any time. Otte service is not well, if the machines aren't operating, we could
terminate the contract. If we want to continue on at the end of f ve years. we will own a Jbrklif.
lice Chair Hardenunt: And how nran larkliJls do you believe that we have within -- at the City.?
Mr. Rosenberg: Vfe have four, maybe five, all of which are very old. We are looking at each one.
Vice Chair Hardemon: So, then, purchasing are farkh l is a significant thing to undertake within
Grr of .rtieuni Page 4' Printed on rrr 0/20/5
City Commission Meeting Minutes September 24, 2015
the City of Miami, purchasing one/orkli/i versus —?
Mr. Rorenbetg: Yes.
Vice Chair I•Iardeniou: And so, theforklift that's currently at the Maine Stadium, is that a
fvrkli%< that's being used right now that's in need to be used right nosy?
Mr. Rotenberg: It needs to he used but it is inoperable.
Vice Chair Hartle m n: And how long has it been inoperable?
tIr. Rotenbew: Roughly, three. maybe four weeks
flee Chair Hadenton: So this is an emergency lease, because, of course, you need an operable
fvhklifi at that venue. Bat what is the benefit of us moving forward for an additionallotrr years
with this lease agreement that we're waiving the competitive bidding process for versus putting it
out for a bidfor those nett.lbur years or each star?
Mr. Rotenber;: The machines are a yensive. 1 don'i believe we're going to get a better price,
even if we put it out to hid. 1•V'e did look at other .fnrklifl contpcuries. crud other prices. This was
the best one that we can get. Even though it's an emergency finding. we did do a little bit of
competitive research. If we dial go back out, we could cancel after a year•, like l said; and if
something were to where we go! better terms or better financial arrangements with another
group. we could do that.
Vice Chair Har•demon: So, Mr. Manager, in this situation. that we're looking at this forklift do
you think that its hest to mare froward after one year and put it /iu• another -- a bid. or do you
think that we should continue to use it as it is in this document fin- additional four years, waiving
this competitive bidding process?
Daniel J. Alfonso (City Manager): Commissioner.first, 75n going to say that I would like Mr.
Rotenherg to also address the issue of the fact that theJorklifis that we had were costing us a
significant amount of nonev in maintenance. and the forklift is absolutely necessary to operate
the marina. becausc.vou can't put the boats into the racks without the forklift. so that's why the
emergency )ratite of it: it was done. The nice thing about hawing the options is that at any
moment that the amiversarr• conies tip. you can step our of theoption. For example. we have an
REP (Request for Proposals) going on f u• one of our marinas, and probably by the time it's all
.said and done, all probably be close to a year: at which point, we can decide whether we can
prove a /br kli/i from one location to the other or continue to use this forklift and not renew -- and
renew or not )view. et cetera. So having that option, 1 drink, gives firs the flexibility a year from
now to determine whetter at that point it's needed or not. But the act of haviirg to do it on an
en:ergcncy basis, that was based on our inability to operate the marina without a finklift.
Vice Chair Hardemon: and 1 completely understand the need to do that now.
MLlr..-t if inso: Right.
',ice Chair Haldeman: But my question is, after one year, there's not an emergency need. so/or
us to continue to waive the competitive -- it's -- to me, Its a continual act of waiving the
competitive bidding p:vicess. because you didn't hid in thefrrst year, and now you won't be
bidding in the second, third, fourth, or li th year. and so that's the part that i'nt talking about.
Mr Alfonso: Okay.
6 ice Chair Hardcnron: So that's wlry I'm Awing to figure out win is it best tut 10 --

:LIr. Rotenhetg: There are two issues with that. Just to manure what the City Manager said,
which is true. our annual budget was far exceeded. The one forklift in question, the repairs fair
one year was in excess of S3 75.000. If we go hack to this company and we say to them. "Oh,
we're going to take one year out of the five years and we may not continue on upfront," thev'm
going to change the rrumbe:s on us, and they will he un/:vorahle to the City.
Commissioner Condit): Mr. --
Commissioner Sarnre 1lU,VLVTELLIGIBLE).
,lLr. Rotenhetg: Sorry. Commissioner.
Chair Gort: Yes, sir.
Commissioner Sar'nt jl: Maybe whit you want to do is -- because I think it'll .see an RFP as well,
hut why don't you -- why don't we consider approving this with a directive to the Manager to
look at the anniversary dares to see if there can he a more competitive natter --
Commissioner C.arollo: Mr. Chair.
Commissioner Sarnuff — or whether it he warranted, but to change the terms of'the agreement.
I dunk we would dc'lerrt our own purpose.
Pre Chair Hardenrnn: Right. And ICYVIATELLIGIBLE) --
Chair Gort: He's go! to floor: wait a minute. Go ahead.
Vice Chair Minimum: .4nd I'm sure you can see, as 1 was builrlhhg nil' questions, that that's --
dre fitcts 1 was Dying to pull out of this were to see if one, changing the terms would uJ/ec t the
price, and that's wby 1 asked about that -- and then, tun. !row you go about whereyou5e
continuously wailing the bidding process through rears two, three. /our, and Jive, so 1 completely
understand that And putting the language that you just proposed on the sword, ! don't think
world do me any good, because 1 assume -- and I think it'll be a very good assumption — that the
Manager would look at the end of ;ve year one whether it was benefic•ian' [sic] for irint to continue
the relationship or to seek an RFP. So, 1 think the reason I'm not proposing that is because 1
think that you haiku do that anyway, bemuse 1 believe that you are responsible enough with our
finances to make sure that that happens. And then the only other option would be to bring it
back be ore us, but 1 think by doing that. it would put that decision in our hands and not
necessarily that is something I want so do, either. But I pest want the Athninistr•ation to be aerate
that when we make this type of'orchnamce or this resohtion or -- when you put forth this
resolution, that it's not insignificant in the fact that there are only /inn•, as 1 understand, that's
widen the City of:Niumi's possession. and this is one of thatJour, so you're talking 25 percent of
the actual forklilis that we ham, e, and so there should be some sort of cottrpetitire bidding process.
i understand the nature of this situation in this year, and why we ourself in this position:
but if the other ones are costing us additional finds, then maybe we should be proactive and
Mink about putting out a hid for sonmething like this moving forward instead of whiting till there's
an issue that we need to put emergency orvlina nee on for.
1Vlr. Rotenhetg: You're a hundred percent correct. I've been here one year, and this canto to my
attention about a month, month and a half ago by looking at numbers. The timbers that we're
paying fin' the maintenance fur exceeded the value, and we turnedaround and decided to toke
action.
Chair Cork Thank rots.

!lee Chair iltnelenton: Thank yore.
Chair Gort: Cormnissi,mer• Carollo, you're recognized.
Commissioner Caollo: Thank you. Mr. Chairman. That's why 1 uant 10 second the motion. 1
asked, for discussion, because Conrntissiouer Sar --1'ut sorry -- Commissioner Ilardennon's
concerns were concerns that 1 had, and I thought the hest war would he /or any additional }ears,
.just like we did before, for it to come hack to this Commission in order for us to give the approval
for an additional sea'.. -lad of that time. or even hefcuehunct, sec could have those questions and
see exactly that the anrhsis seas done, and it's beneficial for• us to continue with this lease as
opposed tops: -- because what happens is, Commissioner Madman, many times. if it doesn't
come hack to this Commission. you'll never hear about it again. because in all.fairness, so many
things are happening in this City at the same time that your just don't hear about it anymore, so
that's why. you know, sometimes I like to have on .specific items. make sure that it was put in
legislation. that it does come husk to this Connai,ssion fun' us to stake sure that it doesn't get
Mg -often with all the things that are happening. and again. 1 feel that with this legislation, it
should come hack to this Commission Jw any additional years, at the least.
Connrissioner.SarnOJli But in doing that --
Chair Gorr: Thank you.
Cbmnnissiarer Sa•no(l -- we could change Me terms and conditions of the agreement, because
iflin ague •- ifl'ar the fiu•kli/1 cotupany— let's sae I'm Harris, right, Harris Forklift -- 1 don't
even know if this is Harris or not -- and I know i have the one year certain but fur,- year options.
and 1 put it in the political hands of'us. because it is politics, Men I'm going to change no•
conditions and any terms, and I'm going to of least make sure toy payments go up on the front
side versus the backside. So! don't know that in this circumstance. it iv a wise stove to rho that.
You could test the water, but on the other hand, 1 think you guys know there'll be an RFP for
Virginia Ker. 1 would dunk it would he Isere in the next year la 18 months. and you also bring
up a good point which we never learned: how old are the other three f brklilts or the terms and
conditions fin• the other threejc'nr•kdrifts? I don't know. By the way, I clearly don't know. and as
you would think• well, ii;you lease a.lcet crf forkli f s. don't you get a lower price than one forklift.
Chair Gorr.: Couple of questions. and that's --
Commissioner Sarnoif.• Whet( you get --
Chair Gorr: -- iLWI:\'TELLIGIBLE) thought. The -- this jorkli/t is going to be used where?
Mr. Rotenhern: at Monti Marine Stadium.
Chair Gort: Marine Stadium. We have -- how many of these shiptrads do we have?
141r. Ralenhe, g: We have Dinner Key Marina.. IVe have Ba side.
Chair Gort: Bat•side.
Mr. Rosenberg: Bayside doesn't n picalh• use tine, finklifls because there's no dui stacks.
Chair Gort: Right.
Mr. Rotenheig: So this would he used in one ofthe marina. There is at RFP nut there; that is
correct The one-year option we took specifically for the reason that if we're not satisfied after
