INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: Emergency purchases related to Hurricane Irma

Department of Procurement ENCLOSURES:
The Department of Procurement is respectfully requesting your approval for emergency purchases made
during the activation of the City's Emergency Operating Center (EOC) for Hurricane Irma.
In September of 2017 in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, and during the EOC activation, the City had to
procure as an emergency, catering services for City employees working at the EOC and out in the field. The
Police Department made several calls to local catering companies and due to the lack of electricity and food
supplies, it was very difficult to find an operable catering company with enough food supplies to provide
hundreds of meals a day. The company the City selected, Lean Culinary Services LLC d/b/a DeliverLean, had
both electricity and access to plentiful food supplies to meet the City's needs.
Additionally, during this EOC activation and immediately after Hurricane Irma, other emergency purchases
were made for supplies, food and beverages, public safety equipment and required immediate repairs to City
owned facilities impacted and damaged by Hurricane Irma.
Per the emergency procurement procedures as defined in Section 18-90 of the City Code, authorization to
waive the competitive bid process, albeit it is a retroactive authorization, is requested for these emergency
purchases made during the EOC Activation and post Hurricane Irma.
Upon your approval, and pursuant to Section 18-90 of the City Code, an item will be prepared for ratification
of these emergency procurements for the December 13, 2018 City Commission meeting.
