The Department of Parks and Recreation respectfully requests your approval and action

hearing, ratifying, approving and confirming the City Manager's recommendation, and
finding that competitive negotiation methods are not practicable or advantageous
regarding the agreement for educational and park services and activities described below.
The long history of cooperation between the Liberty City Optimist Club of Florida Inc., a
State of Florida not -for profit corporation, and the City of Miami, combined with the
organization's professional ties with the Liberty City community, make it not practicable
or advantageous for the City to seek other vendors to provide the same service that the
Liberty City Optimist Club of Florida, Inc. has been successfully provided in the Liberty
City community for twenty - nine years.
The Department respectfully requests such recommendation, finding, and authorization in
order to proceed with executing a Program Partnership Agreement, with the Liberty City
Optimists for the provision of after-school literacy, social skills building classes, physical
fitness, and recreational sports, for at risk youth for at -risk youth at Hadley Park.
During the previous years, Liberty City Optimist Club of Florida, Inc. has demonstrated
its qualifications and capacity to serve the City of Miami through the following:
1. The After School program assists over 100 children monthly through the
provision of after school literacy, social skills building classes, physical
fitness, and recreational sports activities.
2. The provision of family involvement activities offers program participants
additional support and wrap around services.
3_ During the summer over 100 youth receive, educational, social and
recreational programming services daily.
For the reasons stated above, as required by Section 18-86(a)(3)(c) of the Code of

an agreement for the 2018-2038 contract term will be awarded to the Liberty City
Optimist Club of Florida, Inc. which is qualified and has been providing said
services described above for many years, and (2) finds that competitive negotiated
methods are not practicable or advantageous for obtaining a provider of said after
school literacy, social skills building classes, physical fitness, and recreational
sports activities and services in Hadley Park.
