Subject: Approve - Emerg Ratification Purchase - Electrical Circuits - Marine Stadium
Marina
Purpose of Item:
The nature of this item is to authorize a resolution of the Miami City Commission, by a
four -fifths (4/5ths) affirmative vote, ratifying, confirming and approving the City
Manager's findings, that it is most advantageous for the City of Miami ("City") to waive
the competitive sealed bidding procedure pursuant to Section 18-90 of the Code of the
City of Miami, Florida as amended ("City Code") and retroactively approving the
selection of Tomka LLC for the emergency purchase of electrical circuits to prevent
hazard and security issues at the Marine Stadium Marina, located at 3501 Rickenbacker
Causeway, Key Biscayne, FL, 33149, due to a wiring shorting issue underground that
prevented the supply of electricity to the Fuel Pumps, for an amount of $39,754.00,
allocating funds from the Department of Real Estate and Asset Management's
("DREAM") Repairs and Maintenance Account Code Fund
34000.221001.670000.0000.00000; authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and
execute any all documents, subject to allocations, appropriations, and budgetary
approvals having been previously made, compliance with applicable provisions of the
City Code, including, the City's Procurement Ordinance, Anti -Deficiency Act, and
Financial Integrity Principles, all as set forth in Chapter 18 of the City Code, in a form
acceptable to the City Attorney, and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, as may be deemed necessary for said purpose.
Background of Item:
On June 12, 2025, an underground wiring short at the Marine Stadium Marina, located
at 3501 Rickenbacker Causeway, Key Biscayne, FL 33149, disrupted the electrical
supply to the fuel pumps and surrounding lighting racks. The Department of Real Estate
and Asset Management ("DREAM") has identified this issue as a safety and security
concern due to inadequate lighting in the area. Additionally, the lack of power to the fuel
pumps has negatively impacted the City's revenue, as these pumps are used to resell
fuel for profit. To maintain operations, a generator has been rented at a combined
monthly cost of $3,000 for rental and fuel. Therefore, DREAM respectfully requests
retroactive approval for the purchase of replacement electrical circuits to restore proper
functionality.
