Title

A Resolution Of The City Commission Of The City Of Hollywood, Florida, Authorizing The Appropriate City Officials To Issue Purchase Orders To J.

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 city-wide landscape improvement capital projects within the City.

 

The Department of Public Works, Urban Forestry Division requires immediate additional services for the City-wide supply and installation of trees. The projected increased need for City-wide supply and installation of trees have changed the scope of the current blanket purchase order agreements with the existing vendors substantially.

 

These existing tree supply and installation vendors continue 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 tree supply and installation companies for a period of 24 months from the approval date of this resolution and not to exceed $300,000.00 for the supply and installation of trees. It is of time urgency and high importance that these tree supply and installation companies begin providing the required 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 not in the best interest of the City.

 

 

 

Funding for the new Blanket Purchase Orders have been appropriated and exists in account numbers 334.509901.51900.563040.000209.000.000 and 334.509901.54100.563010.001119.000.000.
