ENCLOSURES: N/A
The Spanish American League Against Discrimination, Inc, ("SALAD"), is a Florida Not for Profit
Corporation, specializing in providing discrimination defense and minority representation services.
SALAD has expressed interest in utilizing approximately 471 Square Feet of vacant office space from
the City of Miami ("City") property located at 970 SW 1st Street, Suite 404, Miami, Florida, 33130
("Property") to operate an administrative office to provide the aforementioned services ("Project").
It would be advantageous to the City to allow SALAD the use of the Property for the Project and
waive procurement requirements at this time. Approving the use of the Property for the Project will
allow for providing new services to the community and generate a new revenue stream for the City
as soon as possible with no added time for the procurement process, which is in the City's and the
greater community's best interest.
RECOMMENDATION:
In light of the above, DREAM respectfully requests approval of a waiver of the formal requirements
of competitive sealed bidding methods as not being practical or advantageous to the City as set
forth in the City Code of Ordinances, as amended, specifically Section 18-85(a), the affirmation of
these written findings and the recommendation to the City Commission for ratification by a four -fifths
vote.
