RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami
Beach, Florida approve the City Manager's recommendation pertaining to bids received,
pursuant to 1TB 2020-129-JC, for the prequalification pool of bidders for window washing
services citywide.
BACKGROUND/HI STORY
lt is common for governmental organizations to establish prequalification programs in various
service areas to assure only qualified contractors are engaged and to expedite the selection of
a contractor when a need for service arises. The City has a number of prequalified pools for
service areas such as painting services, recovery of derelict vessels, Microsoft professional
services, and others.
Typically, a solicitation or call for applications is issued by organizations seeking to prequalify
contractors. The initial batch of applications received are evaluated and contractors are
prequalified as warranted. Most agencies will keep the call for applications open to continue to
allow interested contractors to submit applications after the initial batch of prequalified
contractors has been approved in order to add additional contractors to the prequalified pool

DocuSign Envelope ID: E7303023-5666-4B12-9B3 1-B70E4 40255B 8
and incentivize competition.
In keeping with the foregoing, the City's practice with prequalification pools to date has been to
issue an 1TB inviting contrac tors to submit applications for the City's consideration. The City
Commission approves the initial batch of applications, authorizes the 1TB or call for applications
to remain open and delegates to the City Manager the authority to approve additional qualified
co ntractors or remove any contractor from the prequalified list whe n necessary to do so
because of perform ance failures.
In this case, the prequalified pool established will create a source of viable contractors from
wh ich the City may issue requests for quotes for periodic window cleaning services to various
sing le and multi-story City facilities, including City parking garages, public safety buildings,
parks, and administrative buildings, as needed.
A N AL Y SI S
The I TB inviting contractors to submit applications wa s issued on September 24, 2020, with an
initial application deadline of October 23, 2020. The Procurement Department issued bid
notices to 1,443 companies utilizing www.bidsync.com website. 28 prospective bidders
accessed the advertised solicitation. Howe ver, only one (1) response was received from
People's Choice Pressure Cleaning, Inc.
The Procurement and Property Management Departments have determ ined that the bid
received from People's Choice Pressure Cleaning, Inc. meets the requirements of the 1TB
and, therefore, the firm should be prequalified for future work. While only one response was
received by the initial deadline, the period for submitting applications will remain open and
ad ditional contractors, with the approval of the City Manager, may be added to the list of
pre qualified firm s. Furthe r, the Administration will not request quotes pursuant to this
prequalification until there are a minimum of three (3) prequalified contractors in the pool.
FINAN CIAL IN FOR MATION
Grant funding will no t be utilized for this project.
CON CL U SI O N
I concur with staff that it is in the best interest of the City to have a pool of prequalified
contractors for the purposes of window wa shing services citywi de. Otherwi se, redundant and
time-consuming efforts would be required to seek proposals and qualify contra ctors each time a
need wa s identified. Further, I recommend that the period for submitting applications be
continued consistent with the terms of the 1TB. New applicants that meet the 1TB requirements
will be added to the prequalified pool. Doing so will help to maximize competition. Contractors
that do no t perform we ll will be removed from the pool.
Therefore, I recommend that the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach,
Florida, approve the Resolution, accepting the recommendation of the City Manager, pursuant
to Invitation to Bid (1TB) No. 2020-129-JC, to establish a pool of contractors for window
washing services citywi de on an "as-needed" basis, and approve the initial pool of qualified
contractors, as set forth in Exhibit" A" to the Commission Memorandum; further, authorizing the
City Manager to keep the I TB open for the purpose of prequalifying additional contractors, and
delegating to the City Manager the auth ority to add contractors to the pool, provided such
contractors meet the requirements of the 1TB; and furthe r providing that any purchase in excess
