City of North Miami Beach, Police and Utilities Departments requires the purchase of unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel for city fleet, generators, and police vehicles.
In line with the North Miami Beach Strategic Plan’s mission of providing excellent municipal services and being financially responsible, the City routinely participates with the Southeast Florida Governmental Cooperative Purchasing Group (COOP.) The COOP is comprised of government entities from the Southeast region of Florida and provides cost savings and cost avoidances to member entities by utilizing the buying power of combined requirements for common basic items.
The City is an active member of the CO-OP which, with the City of Pompano Beach acting as the lead agency, issued RFP E-13-17 “Unleaded Gasoline and Diesel Fuel”. The COOP awarded the RFP to Port Consolidated, Inc., for a three (3) year term with one (1) two (2) year renewal
Section 3-2.2 of the City’s Code of Ordinances provides that the Chief Procurement Officer has the authority to join with other governmental entities in cooperative purchasing plans, when the best interests of the City would be served. The City has estimated an annual expenditure of $250,000 in the 2017 Fiscal Year Budget and thereafter an estimated annual expenditure of $500,000.00 for the purchase of unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel, as approved through the budget appropriation process and Section 3-3.14 of the City’s Code of Ordinances provides that contracts in excess of fifty thousand ($50,000.00) dollars shall be awarded by City Commission. |
