Peace Leaders Foundation, Inc.
BACKGROUND
The City of Miami ("City") created the Anti -Poverty Initiative to address poverty and focus on
providing support to its residents.
Peace Leaders Foundation, Inc. ("the organization"), was created to rescue the victims of domestic
violence and child abuse. The organization has established a mission of love and restoration of
victims, offering advice and counseling, guiding and rebuilding their lives and those of their
children, keeping track of each every case and supporting victims to achieve their goals. The
allocation will be utilized to continue the programming described above.
As they are familiar with the needs of the community and requirements imposed by the City, it would
be advantageous to the City to expedite the allocation and waive procurement requirements at this
time. Providing these funds to the organization will allow more families to obtain these services
immediately, with no added time for the procurement process, which could take over 30-40 days.
RECOMMENDATION
In light of the above stated, approval of a waiver of the formal requirements of competitive sealed
bidding methods as not being practicable or advantageous to the City as set forth in the City Code
of Ordinances, as amended, specifically Section 18-85 (A), and the affirmation of these written
findings and the forwarding of the same to the City Commission for ratification by a four -fifths
vote is respectfully requested.
