BACKGROUND:
DATE: May 28, 2026
SUBJECT: Bid Waiver Authorization
REFERENCES: N/A
ENCLOSURES: N/A
On May 18, 2026, the City's concession vendor unexpectedly ceased operations. As a result, there
is no on -site food and beverage service available for employees or visitors. Sky Coffee Buenos
Aires, Inc., ("Sky Coffee"), is a Florida for profit corporation, with the purpose of providing food and
beverage concession services ("Project").
Sky Coffee has expressed its interest and ability to provide concession services at Miami Riverside
Center at 444 SW 2nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33130 ("MRC") and Miami Police Headquarters at 400
NW 2nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33128 ("Police HQ") collectively the ("Premises").
It would be advantageous to the City to allow Sky Coffee the use of the Premises for the Project
and waive procurement requirements at this time. Approving the use of the Premises for the Project
will allow employees and visitors to obtain these services as soon as possible with no added time
for the procurement process, which is in the City's and the 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.
