LTC # LETTER TO COMMISSION
TO: Mayor Dan Gelber and Members o the City C/?/ mission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager -1,
DATE: September 12, 2019
SUBJECT: Informational Report on Capital or Infrastructure Projects Awarded Pursuant to the
Sourcewell (previously National Joint Powers Alliance(NJPA)) Competitively Solicited
Contract for Construction Services
Section 255.20, Florida Statutes exempts construction projects under $300,000 from formal
competitive solicitation requirements. Nonetheless, the Administration believes it is prudent to
establish a process,which includes assuring that qualified contractors are performing the work and
competitive pricing, when awarding projects under the threshold established in Florida Statutes,
while still expediting the award and completion of these projects. With these goals in mind, the
Administration has pursued utilizing a process known as indefinite quantity contract (IQC) for
construction services. The IQC process is used extensively by the local, state and federal
governmental agencies throughout the United States to expedite the delivery of construction
projects. The City Commission, at its April 23, 2014, meeting approved a recommendation by the
Administration to utilize the IQC process to expedite the delivery of construction projects under
$250,000 or for emergency projects as approved by the City Manager.
The City, as a governmental agency member, is authorized to utilize the IQC contract for
construction services competitively awarded by Sourcewell.Additional information on the Sourcewell
IQC contract is included in the attached Contract Award Memo which provides guidelines for using
the Sourcewell contract. Following is a list of projects awarded pursuant to the Sourcewell IQC
contract for construction services prior the City Commission meeting.
