FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: July 25, 2018
Date
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY
MANAGER, PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) NO. 2018-002 -
JC, DISASTER RECOVERY SERVICES.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
FUNDING
Grant funding will not be utilized for this project.
BACKGROUND
In the event of an emergency, such as a hurricane, the City lacks sufficient resources to
undertake debris recovery operations. While assistance may be available from the County,
State and Federal government, these are not sufficient to restore a community that has
suffered a catastrophic disaster. Also, the resources of the various governments are spread
thin over the affected areas necessitating contracted private sector assistance.
Disaster recovery services include, but are not limited to the following: vegetative debris
removal, construction and demolition removal (C &D), road clearance, staging, disposal,
hazardous waste removal, labor, supervision, equipment, materials, facilities, power,
communications, and other services and supplies necessary for, or incidental to, the
performance of the debris removal and disposal services. Because disaster events often result
in significant quantities of disaster debris, which can pose a threat to life and property, the City
has decided to procure, in advance of any disaster, a standby, pre -event contract for the
removal, management, and disposal of disaster debris under the eligibility guidelines
developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
It is in the City's best interest to enter into agreements with firms that have the capability and
flexibility to provide disaster recovery services in the event of a declared emergency that is of
a magnitude that would require professional services to supplement City resources.
FEMA provides public assistance funds for debris clearance, removal and disposal operations.
Eligible applicants include State and local governments. On September 5, 2017, FEMA
determined that the damage in certain areas of the State of Florida resulting from Hurricane
Irma beginning on September 4, 2017, was sufficient in severity and magnitude to warrant a
major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 5121 -5206 (the Stafford Act).
Currently, under Contract No. 27- 11/12, the City has coverage to provide for disaster recovery
services. The existing contract has been extended through August 27, 2018. In consideration
of the above, the Administration prepared Request for Proposals (RFP) 2018- 002 -JC to seek
proposals from qualified contractors to provide disaster recovery services to the City in order
to replace the expiring City contract. The RFP was developed with the assistance of the City's
disaster recovery consultant, Tidal Basin.
RFP PROCESS
On March 7, 2018, the City Commission approved the issuance of the RFP No. 2018- 002 -JC,
Disaster Recovery Services, which was issued on March 12, 2018. The Procurement
Department issued solicitation notices to 340 firms utilizing www.publicpurchase.com. 107
prospective proposers accessed the advertised solicitation. A voluntary pre- proposal
conference to provide information to the proposers submitting a response was held on April 4,
2018. RFP responses were due and received on May 11, 2018. The City received a total of
eight (8) proposals from the following firms:
• Arbor Tree & Land, Inc.
• Ashbritt, Inc.
• Ceres Environmental Services, Inc.
• CrowderGulf Joint Ventures, Inc.
• D &J Enterprises, Inc.
• DRC Emergency Services, LLC
• RAS Investments, Corporation d /b /a RAS Construction
• TFR Enterprises, Inc.
On May 7, 2018, the City Manager appointed the Evaluation Committee via LTC # 250 -2018.
The Evaluation Committee convened on June 13, 2018 to consider proposals received. The
Committee was comprised of the following: Jay Fink, Assistant Director, Public Works
Department; Omar Leon, Urban Forester, Environment and Sustainability Department; Juan
Mestas, Assistant Fire Chief, Fire Department; Adrian Morales, Director, Property
Management Department; and Albert Zamora, Sanitation Director, Sanitation Division.
The Committee was provided an overview of the project, information relative to the City's Cone
of Silence Ordinance and the Government Sunshine Law. The Committee was also provided
with general information on the scope of services and a copy of each proposal. The
Committee was instructed to score each proposal pursuant to the qualitative evaluation criteria
established in the RFP. The RFP stipulated that points for cost would be added to the
qualitative scores established by the Evaluation Committee to determine an overall ranking for
all proposals evaluated. The evaluation process (qualitative and initial costs as stipulated in
the RFP) resulted in the ranking of proposers as indicated in Attachment A, in the following
order:
1St Ceres Environmental Services, Inc.
2nd - DRC Emergency Services, LLC
3rd - CrowderGulf Joint Ventures, Inc.
4th - Arbor Tree & Land, Inc.
5th — Ashbritt, Inc.
6th — D &J Enterprises, Inc.
7th — TFR Enterprises, Inc.
8th — RAS Investments, Corporation d /b /a RAS Construction
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
have reviewed the proposals received and the results of the Evaluation Committee process.
have also considered the recommendations of Tidal Basin, the City's disaster recovery
consultant. Tidal Basin was requested to provide its analysis and recommendation based on
the proposals received in response to the RFP. Tidal Basin's expertise is critical as the firm
acts as consultant to many municipalities around the country and, in that regard, is well aware
of all relevant industry issues regarding the contracting of disaster recovery consultants,
including the ability of contractors to deploy resources, regulatory or compliance issues,
pricing trends, as well as FEMA expectations and requirements in contracting for these
services. Considering FEMA expectations and requirements is critical in assuring that the City
is reimbursed to the furthest extent possible and in an expeditious manner. Tidal Basin's
analysis is attached hereto as Attachment B.
In my due diligence regarding the award of the RFP, I find as follows. I believe that the City is
fortunate to have received eight (8) responses to the RFP. All of the companies that
responded appear to have the qualifications and background to assist the City with recovery in
the event of a disaster. However, it is not feasible to retain eight (8) contractors as there is a
risk to the City that unless contractors believe they have a reasonable chance of being
deployed in the event of a disaster, they will not allocate the necessary resources. This is
especially true in times when a disaster affects multiple areas as contractors will likely deploy
resources to areas in which they serve as primary contractors and have some assurance of
being deployed. Selecting a smaller pool of primary contractors increases the likelihood that
the primary contractors will be ready to deploy resources to the City as soon as they are
needed.
In considering the qualifications and proposals (without considering costs) submitted by the
eight (8) respondents to the RFP, I find that the Evaluation Committee scored the respondents
in the following rank order.
1st Ranked - Ceres Environmental
2nd Ranked - Arbor Tree
3rd Ranked - Crowdergulf
4th Ranked - D &J Enterprises (tied)
4th Ranked - DRC (tied)
6th Ranked - Ashbritt
7th Ranked - TFR Enterprises
8th Ranked - RAS
The RFP requested unit prices from the proposers for various items and services that would
normally be required in the City's response to a storm or disaster, including debris removal,
removal of hazardous trees and stumps, and miscellaneous items such as ice. When only unit
prices are added to the Evaluation Committees scores for qualifications and proposals, the
ranking of proposers is modified as indicated below.
1st Ranked - Ceres Environmental
2nd Ranked - DRC
3rd Ranked - Crowdergulf
4th Ranked - Arbor Tree
5th Ranked - Ashbritt
6th Ranked - D &J Enterprises
7th Ranked - TFR Enterprises
8th Ranked - RAS
The RFP also contemplated that pricing be considered on the amount of debris to be collected
or services required resulting from the City being exposed to a Category 3 Hurricane. The
estimates resulting from a Category 3 Hurricane, estimated by Tidal Basin using an Army Corp
of Engineers model, are included in Attachment C. A consideration of costs based on
estimated or projected actual quantities is a much more realistic indicator of the costs that the
City could experience than just considering the sum of all unit costs. Accordingly, the RFP
specifically stated that a Category 3 Hurricane experience would be considered. When those
estimated or projected costs are taken into consideration, without altering the scores for
qualifications and proposals, the ranking of proposers is as indicated below.
1st Ranked -
2nd Ranked
3rd Ranked -
4th Ranked -
5th Ranked -
6th Ranked
7th Ranked -
8th Ranked -
Ceres Environmental
- Crowdergulf
D &J Enterprises
DRC
Arbor Tree
Ashbritt
TFR Enterprises
RAS
In considering the number of firms to be awarded, I agree with Tidal Basin and the
recommendations of the Public Works Department that it would be in the best interest of the
City to award to four firms to assure that the resources necessary are readily available when
needed. I also agree with Tidal Basin that identifying two co- primary contractors will be
important to provide the assurances that contractors are seeking so that they are willing to
deploy resources quickly to the City. Having two (2) co- primary contractors will allow the
deployment of services to multiple areas of the City simultaneously. During the negotiation
process, the City and the contractors can agree to the geographic responsibilities of each co-
primary contractor. I also agree that having two (2) secondary contractors will provide a back-
up in the event of a default by either or both co- primary contractors.
In the previous, most realistic scenario, I find that both Ceres Environmental and Crowdergulf
have the best overall combination of qualifications and costs, although there are some cost
outliers in all proposals that will need to be negotiated to determine fair market value. As a
result, I recommend that Ceres Environmental and Crowdergulf be awarded co- primary
contractor contracts upon successful negotiations of final costs by the Administration.
Additionally, I recommend that D &J Enterprises and DRC be awarded secondary contracts,
also upon successful negotiations by the Administration. A brief bio of each firm is included in
Attachment D.
Therefore, I recommend that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Resolution
authorizing the Administration to enter into negotiations with Ceres Environmental and
Crowdergulf, the 1st and 2nd ranked proposers, respectively, when the costs for a Category 3
Hurricane response is considered. Additionally, I recommend that the Administration be
authorized to negotiate secondary contracts with D &J Enterprises and DRC, the 3rd and 4th
ranked proposers, respectively, when the costs for a Category 3 Hurricane response is
considered. Finally, to expedite contracts given that the City is in hurricane season, I
recommend that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute contracts upon successful
negotiations by the Administration.

Re: Scoring the Cost Evaluation of Debris Contractor RFP and Recommendation
ATTACHMENT B
Memorandum
The City of Miami Beach Procurement Division requested an evaluation of the cost submittals of
eight contractors for RFP 2018-002-JC, Disaster Recovery Services, We were not requested and
did not evaluate the qualitative portion of the RFP which was done exclusively by the five
members of Proposal Selection Committee.
Method of Evaluation
The most objective and realistic method in which to evaluate the eight cost proposals is to
determine the amount of disaster related debris generated by a Category 3 Hurricane, as
contemplated in the RFP. We used U.S. Corps of Engineers Estimate Debris Generation Model
as a basis for determining the amount of vegetative and construction and demolition debris
generated in Miami Beach during a Category 3 storm. We also used current census data and
empirical information from City staff.
This modeling (attached) determined that approximately 330,895 cubic yards (CY) of vegetative
debris and 772,008 of mixed construction and demolition debris would be generated from a
Category 3 storm. In working with City staff, we determined a reasonable expectation of the
amount of debris which would be taken to TDSR sites, reduced by chipping, taken directly to
landfills or other final disposal sites, along with using the 70 hours push period for hourly line
items. Attached is the an excel spreadsheet with inputs for each line item bid by the contractors,
including their price and the quality used for evaluation.

Ranking of Proposers Pricing
In calculating the pricing of more than 90 line items per contractor, below is the total cost
estimate for each proposer in a Category 3 storm for removing debris in the City of Miami
Beach.
1. D &J Enterprise - $20,976,261.25
2. Ceres Environmental - $22,925,936.25
3. Crowder Gulf - $24,682,670.75
4. DRC - $25,403,933.17
5. TFR Enterprises - $26,559,609.00
6. AshBritt - $38,135,411.13
7. Arbor Tree - $46,354,359.75
8. RAS Investment - $49,079,809,38
Based on the RFP method of evaluation, the lowest calculated price would receive 25 points and
each subsequent proposer would receive points based on their pride in comparison with the
lowest bidder.

This methodology varies slightly with how the RFP Selection Committee evaluated the scoring
for price submissions. The RFP selection committee used the straight -line method of evaluating
the score in which they added each line item submitted by contractors together to get a total
price. While this is a valid method for evaluation, it does not consider quantities which may be
generated by debris in a Category 3 storm and or how single outlier line items by a proposer can
skew the total price. In this proposal this was the case with a few line items and outlier prices.
A more accurate method is to use the USACE model and calculate each line item based on
potential generated debris and quantities for cost. While this is never completely accurate, it will
give better representation of cost -from a disaster.
Total Ranking of Scores
We did not change the qualitative scores from the selection committee, and used their
spreadsheet of scoring to develop a new total ranking of qualitative and quantitative scores. The
spreadsheet is attached and the top rank team remained the same with Ceres Environmental
receiving the top score.
1. Ceres Environmental
2. Crowder Gulf
3. D &J Enterprises
4. DRC
5. Arbor Tree
6. AshBritt
7. TFR Enterprises
8. RAS Investment
Recommendation
Based on the total ranking of the qualitative and quantitative proposal evaluations, we
recommend, the City of Miami Beach award the first four ranked proposers a contract with the
City to ensure proper capacity in case of a Category 3 storm. In 2017, while only a Category 1
storm hit Florida, many contractors lacked proper capacity due to declared disasters in many
other areas of the United States. Having four contracts will not guarantee capacity, but it will
give the City of Miami Beach the proper expected capacity. Furthermore, The City should deem
co- primary contractors to ensure each contractor provides the necessary resources to plan and
prepare for an event in and with the City of Miami Beach. Lastly it is recommended that the City
of Miami Beach further negotiate cost line items and the contract of each awarded proposer to
decrease line items costs that may be unreasonable.
