 RE: Resolution No R2021-109 Citywide Grounds Maintenance Services


Description
 
BACKGROUND ANALYSIS:


 

In an effort to provide Excellent Municipal Services, in a financially responsible manner, consistent with our Strategic Plan, the City of North Miami Beach issued ITB-21-054-SG Citywide Grounds Maintenance Services, with electronic notices posted on the City’s website and BidSync, with electronic notification sent to over 8,659 vendors on August 4, 2021, in accordance with Florida Statutes and the City of North Miami Beach’s City Code.  

 

The Citywide Grounds Maintenance services agreement will encompass services at various sites throughout the City to include the City of North Miami Beach rights-of-way, State DOT rights-of-way, South Florida Water Management District rights-of-way, Water & Wastewater plants, lift stations, Community Recreation Centers, and Governmental Buildings and Facilities both in and outside of the City.

 

On September 13, 2021, the City received seven (7) total bids. The seven bids were opened from bidders:  South Eastern Landscaping Care, YRY Homes, Coco Tree Service Corp, Country Bill’s Lawn Maintenance Inc, SFM Services Inc, Superior Landscaping & Lawn Services Inc and BV Landscape Services Inc.  Procurement Management Division conducted an administrative review for responsiveness and responsibility of the seven (7) bids and found that two (2) firms did not meet the minimum qualifications, making them non-compliant with the State of Florida. See attached bid tabulation.

 

In addition to conducting state and local due diligence and reference verification, a responsibility review meeting was held (virtually) with the lowest, responsive bidder for a more extensive responsibility assessment. The Public Works, Parks and NMB Water Departments deemed Coco Tree Service Corp., responsible and capable of carrying out the scope as outlined in the solicitation. Thusly, the Public Works, Parks and NMB Water Department Directors have concurred that Coco Tree Service Corp., is the lowest responsive responsible bidder.

 RECOMMENDATION:


 

City Manager, after conducting his due diligence, concur with the recommendation to award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Coco Tree Service Corp., and recommend that the City Commission approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Coco Tree Service Corp., as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in a not to exceed the annual budget amount of $657,000, for three (3) year of service with two (2) one year renewals options.
