Explanation:
The 2007 Water System Master Plan identified the need to replace aging water distribution system pipes throughout the City of Hollywood.
The existing water main along Hollywood Boulevard from City Hall to Dixie Highway is defined as necessary for replacement based on the age of the pipelines, repeated pipeline breaks in the areas, and water quality issues.
In order to take advantage of the FDOT project along Hollywood Boulevard from City Hall to Dixie Highway, the City of Hollywood entered into an agreement with FDOT to implement the construction as one project via the approval of Resolution No. R-2016-247.
Section 38.40(C)(8) of the Code of Ordinances exempts from the competitive bid and competitive proposal requirements of the Purchasing Ordinance purchases of, and contracts for, supplies or contractual services when the City Commission declares by a 5/7 vote that competitive bids and competitive proposals are not in the best interest of the City.
