Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the Attached Resolution.
Explanation:
For Fiscal Year 2019, the City Commission approved approximately $1,000,000.00 for the Department of Public Works to oversee, design, construct and implement a variety of citywide landscape improvement capital projects within the City
The Department of Public Works, Urban Forestry Division requires immediate additional services for the installation, repair and renovation of City-wide irrigation systems to include the purchase of necessary parts and accessories. The projected increased need for irrigation maintenance assistance and installation of additional irrigation systems have changed the scope of the current blanket purchase order agreements with the existing vendors substantially.
These existing irrigation vendors continues to provide satisfactory services. Therefore, the Department of Public Works and Procurement Services are recommending the issuance of new purchase orders to be issued to each of the irrigation companies for a period of 24 months from the approval date of this resolution and not to exceed $300,000 for irrigation maintenance and repair services. It’s of time urgency and of high importance that these irrigation companies begin providing required irrigation services immediately.
Section 38.40(C)(8) of the Code of Ordinances exempts from competitive bidding and competitive proposals purchases of, and contracts for, supplies or contractual services, when the City Commission declares, by a five-sevenths (5/7ths) affirmative vote, that competitive bidding and competitive proposals are in the best interest of the City.
Funding for the new Blanket Purchase Orders has been appropriated and exists in account numbers 334.509901.51900.563040.000209.000.000 and 334.509901.54100.563010.001119.000.000.
