ALLFFONSO, CITY MANAGER FROM: MIL RS, SENIOR ADVISOR TO THE CITY MANAGER TONICIE DATE: JUNE 30, 2016 RE: RECOMMENDATIONS AND FINDINGS TO WAIVE COMPETITIVE NEGOTIATION PROCEDURES PER CITY CODE FOR THE SUMMER READ PROGRAM AT BELAFONTE TA:COLCY PARK -THE BELAFONTE TACOLCY CENTER, INC. BACKGROUND The Department of Community Investment ("Department") initiated an eight-week, at - risk youth summer program through the Tacolcy Center ("Tacolcy"). The Tacolcy Center is a vital and unique partner in the delivery of community services in Liberty City. Due to an existing partnership with Tacolcy, the Department believed an agreement was not subject to competitive bidding requirements. Although no written contract has been perfected, Tacolcy agreed to perform the contract pending its execution. RECOMMENDATION Since the program is currently underway, it is impractical to do a request for proposals or utilize another method of soliciting competitions. In addition, approximately 50 children would be displaced for the summer, if the City does not continue this program. The Department respectfully requests the City Manager find competitive negotiation methods and procedures as not practicable or advantageous, pursuant to Section 18- 85(a) of the City Code. The total amount requested, including the $13,000.00 retroactive payment, is $53,000.00. APPROVE/DISAPPROVE DANIEL J. AL SO, I Y MANAGER
