tn.late March of this year) the City Was the redipient of
several warning fetters from the Department of environmental
Regulation and the bade County invironmental Resources Manage-
meat Departntert, citing the subject facility for improper
operations and numerous violations of Chapter 403, Florida
Statutes. As you are aware, this department took immediate
steps to correct the operational problems and instituted strict
procedures to be followed henceforth. These actions on the
City's part tended to establish creditability with the environ-
mental agencies, and we were successful in getting DER to stay
closure action subject to our maintaining the fill in conform-
ance with operational regulations and submitting an engineering
plan for ultimate closure and abandonment of the site. DER
regulations set forth the date of July 1977 as the closure date
for all dumps and landfills operating without benefit of a
landfill operating permit. We have been operational under a
temporary operating permit and must continue this operation
until the Dade County Transfer Station on 20th Street is open
and becomes available for our use. The opening date of this
facility is scheduled for February 1978.
It is now necessary to submit our engineering plan for closure
and toward that end, four local engineering firms were contacted
by Vince Grimm and requested to submit informal proposals. Two
firms responded and were interviewed by this office. We wish
to negotiate a contract with the tentatively selected firm of
Greenleaf & Telesca under the provisions of Title 18, Chapter
287.055 Public Business, Consultants Competitive Negotiation
Act. Contained in paragraph 3, sub -paragraph "2," is a provi-
sion which allows an agency head to negotiate a professional
services agreement in "cases of valid public emergencies so
certified by the agency head." In view of the dire need to
sustain the Virginia Key operation and a July date of forced
closure by DER, it is the opinion of this department that an
emergency exists. In view of this circumstance, based upon an
opinion offered by the Legal Department, it is necessary to have
the City Commission adopt a resolution authorizing us to proceed.
with negotiation and enter a contract with the tentatively
selected engineering firm. Accordingly, attached hereto is a
resolution for Commission approval.
