ENCLOSURES*
BACKGROUND
Gort — Four Fifth Waiver
Little Havana Activities and Nutrition Centers of Dade County, Inc., (LHANC) (the organization), provides
a wide range of social services to socially isolated and economically disadvantaged seniors in the South
Florida area. The organization works in collaboration with local municipalities to provide their services
to the elderly. The organization will utilize the allocated funds to provide meals to low-income,
homebound elderly residents, nutrition counseling services, nutritional risk assessments, and health
promotion and education services.
As the Organization is familiar with the needs of the community in this district, it would be advantageous
for the City to expedite the allocation and waive procurement requirements at this time. Providing these
funds to the Organization will allow local businesses to obtain these services immediately, with no added
time for the procurement process, which could take over 30-40 days.
RECOMMENDATION
In light of the above stated, approval of a waiver of the formal requirements of competitive sealed bidding
methods as not being practicable or advantageous to the City as set forth in the City Code of Ordinances,
as amended, specifically Section 18-85 (A), and the affirmation of these written findings and the
forwarding of the same to the City Commission for ratification by a four-fifths vote is respectfully
requested.
