Title
A Resolution Of The City Commission Of The City Of Hollywood, Florida, Authorizing The Appropriate City Officials To Issue The Attached Blanket Purchase Order Between Mackay Meters, Inc And The City Of Hollywood For Master Parking Meter Parts And Repairs In An Annual Amount Not To Exceed $100,000.00 Per Year For A Three Year Term.
Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution
Explanation:
The Office of Parking & Intergovernmental Affairs has 129 Mackay Master Meters installed throughout the beach area on-street and in the garages.
These meters are between five and six years old with parts requiring repair or replacement.
Because Mackay Meters, Inc. is the manufacturer of these meters located on the beach, parts for the meters are proprietary, and the meter parts must either be repaired or replaced by Mackay to ensure that the meters operate in a reliable manner, therefore, Mackay Meters, Inc. is considered the sole source supplier of this product.
Section 38.40(C)(3) of the City's Purchasing Ordinance allows sole-source supplies and services, such as unique, patented or franchised supplies or services, to be exempt from the competitive bid requirements.
Since the continual use of Mackay Master Meters on the beach are expected for the next three years, the Director of the Office of Parking & Intergovernmental Affairs and the Director of Procurement Services recommends that the City Commission authorize the appropriate City Officials to issue the attached Blanket Purchase Order between Mackay Meters, Inc and the City of Hollywood for repair and replacement Mackay Meter parts in an annual amount not to exceed $100,000 contingent upon approved appropriation of such funding each year.
Funding for this services is provide in FY2015, account number 46.1150.00224.545.005214 Consumable Equipment and Tools and will be requested for years two (2) and three (3) contingent upon an annual appropriation by the City Commission.
