ANALYSIS
Miami Beach is surrounded by over 60 miles of waterways that provide environmental,
economic and recreational benefits and are one of the City's most valuable resources. These
waterways, which include Biscayne Bay, Indian Creek and Collins Canal, are highly visible from
abutting residential, commercial and recreational properties, as well as roadways. The
cleanliness of the waterways is vital to improving water quality, protecting aquatic habitat, and
maintaining quality of life. As such, the City requires waterway maintenance services for the
removal of submerged, floating and shoreline debris to maintain a certain level of cleanliness.
On November 14, 2014, the Mayor and City Commission approved the award of Invitation to
Bid No. 61-11/12, for Waterway Resource Maintenance (the "Agreement"), to Adventure
Environmental, Inc. ("Contractor").
Prior to expiration of Agreement, the Administration released Invitation to Bid (ITB) 2018-029-
ZD, with a bid opening date of February 5, 2018 to establish a replacement contract.
On June 6, 2018 the Mayor and City Commission, approved Resolution No. 2018-30324,
authorizing rejection of bids received pursuant to Invitation to Bid (ITB) 2018-029-ZD;

authorizing the reissuance of a subsequent RFP; and further authorizing the extension of the
current agreement with Adventure Environmental, Inc., the incumbent vendor, for a term not to
exceed one (1) year or until such time as a new contract can be awarded. The current
Agreement is scheduled to expire June 6, 2019.
RFP PROCESS
On February 12, 2019, RFP 2019-067-WG for Routine and Emergency Waterways Cleanup
and Debris Removal was issued. A voluntary pre-proposal conference to provide information to
proposers submitting a response was held on February 22, 2019. Three addenda were

Adventure Environmental Inc.
AEI was founded in July 1997 as a State of Florida Corporation and has been under continuous
operation by the same management team that stands today. For the past twenty years AEI has
successfully completed hundreds of marine environmental projects from Key West to Orlando
and all points in between for many local, state and federal clients.AEI has built a fleet of custom
designed equipment and has the qualified personnel to mobilize and perform water way clean
up and debris removal services.
Page 284 of 868
Adventure Environmental, Inc. (AEI) has successfully provided waterway cleanup services for
the City of Miami Beach since 2012. They operate with the specific purpose of positively
influencing the marine waters surrounding our community.
Aquatic Control Group. I nc.
Aquatic Control Group (ACG) specializes in aquatic maintenance of canals and water ways
throughout Miami Dade County and Florida. They are committed to a strong social
responsibility by providing ECO friendly solutions to the community. Their fleet of boats collect
floating debris and clean out clogged culverts along the waterways creating waterflow. Their
company uses state of the art equipment which allows them to have a smaller footprint on the
environment. They are trained and in compliance with all state and federal rules and regulations
in Water Marine Work and fully subscribe to the protection of threatened and endangered sea
creatures.
CONCLUSION
This month, the 2019 City of Miami Beach Resident Survey results were released. One of the
areas rated by residents in the survey is the cleanliness of canals/waterways. According to the
overall results, 49% of residents rated the cleanliness of canals/waterways as "Excellent" or
"Good". However, 19% rated their cleanliness as "Poor". Additionally, while the overall
"Excellent" or "Good" ratings for cleanliness of canals/waterways improved this year (49%) as
compared to the 2016 survey(40%), satisfaction in this area remains lower than in 2009 (61%),
2012 (57%), and 2014 (53%).
The City retained Adventure Environmental, Inc. in November 2012 to perform waterway
resources maintenance services two times per week. The initial term of the contract lasted for
two years and allowed three additional one year extensions. The contract was further extended
while the city competitively bids and executes a new contract. This means Adventure
Environmental Inc. has been responsible for canal/waterway cleanliness in Miami Beach from
the end of 2012 to present, which corresponds to the evaluation period for the resident surveys
conducted in 2014, 2016, and 2019.
The waterway resources maintenance contract uses the Miami Beach Public Area Cleanliness
Index to evaluate the contractor's performance. The cleanliness index is an objective
measurement of performance used to monitor the impacts of recently implemented initiatives to
target areas for future improves and assure the quality of a wide range of services across the
city. Cleanliness index scores range from 1.0 (Very Clean) to 6.0 (Very Dirty) and include
assessments of different types of debris. The waterway resources maintenance contract
requires Adventure Environmental, Inc. to maintain a score of 2 or lower on the cleanliness
index for litter. An analysis of cleanliness index data shows a downward trend in the cleanliness
index scores above 2, signifying an improvement of service over the last four years.Additionally,
the average cleanliness index score per year in 2018 was lower than in the three previous years.
The City strives to constantly improve the cleanliness of its canals and waterways and has
enhanced the waterway resources maintenance program since 2012. One key
enhancement was to increase the frequency of service from one time per week in the previous
contract (ending in 2012), to two times per week in Adventure Environmental, Inc.'s initial
Page 285 of 868
contract, to adding a third day of service in 2016. Each month,Adventure Environmental, Inc. is
required to provide logs with the dates, the areas visited, and the total pounds of debris
removed per date of service with photograph back-up. Before approving invoices, staff reviews
the monthly logs to ensure the contractor is meeting the provisions of their contract and
responding in a timely manner to resident requests. Staff also tracks the total pounds of debris
removed. While the amount of debris in our waterways varies with the seasons and tides,
Adventure Environmental, Inc. has removed approximately 100,000 pounds of debris per year
on average.
The City also made changes in the RFP language for the replacement contract based on
lessons learned with the current contract to further improve cleanliness. For example, the RFP
calls for GPS tracking of the waterway cleaning vessel to allow staff to track what areas have
been cleaned and better understand where there are "hotspots" that trap higher than normal
rates of debris. Additionally, the new contract requires that all resident requests be handled no
later than the next business day to ensure better customer service and quicker clean-up
turnaround times. Finally, the new contract will begin its initial term with three days of service.
Regarding the proposals received pursuant to the RFP, I note that the Evaluation Committee
process has resulted in a tie for top-ranking between Adventure Environmental, Inc. and Aquatic
Control Group. Both firms appear to be qualified to be successful in the execution of the work
required. Adventure Environmental is the City's incumbent. In attempting to solve the issue of
the tie between the two firms, I find the following differences between the two proposals. First, I
find Adventure Environmental's experience to be exceptional. The firm has performed similar
(routine and emergency response) projects that are significantly larger than the City's current
scope, including a major contract with the South Florida Water Management District with a value
of$35 million and a contract with Orange County with a value of nearly$3 million for emergency
response services, as well as already having experience performing routine services along the
City's waterways as the current incumbent. I find that its experience relating to emergency
response services is particularly valuable to the City should it face these needs in the future.As
such, I find that Adventure Environmental has demonstrated a level of experience in both routine
and emergency response that is unparalleled. While Aquatic Control Group also appears to
have performed work in response to Hurricane Irma, it appears to have done so as a sub-
contractor to another firm. Also, the routine services that Aquatic Control has performed appear
to be in areas that are further inland than the City's waterways. Second, the RFP required
bidders to provide a price for routine service and another price for emergency response
services. The RFP was clear that the City would consider the total cost for both routine and
emergency service in the analysis of bids received. In doing so, while I find that Aquatic Control
Group submitted a slightly lower cost proposal for routine services and Adventure
Environmental submitted a slightly lower cost proposal for emergency response services,
Adventure Environmental did submit the lowest overall cost proposal when both services are
considered as is stipulated in the RFP. Finally, Adventure Environmental, being the City's
incumbent contractor, has worked well with staff to improve the results and the resident's
perception of the cleanliness of the City's waterways over the last few years. Staff reports that
Adventure Environmental is very responsive to resolving any issues that staff reports. Given that
Adventure Environmental's prior experience in routine and emergency services and that it has
worked well with staff to increase resident satisfaction with the cleanliness of the waterways, I
believe it is prudent to continue to retain the services of Adventure Environmental, especially
since the cost differential between the two top-ranked vendors is minimal.
Further, staff contemplated the possibility of splitting the work between the two tied bidders to
Page 286 of 868
solve the tie issue. However, it is important to note that during the industry review meeting that
the Administration held prior to releasing the subject RFP, the matter of splitting a future contract
among more than one contractor was discussed. It seemed to be the consensus of the industry
at that time that splitting the work would result in a situation where it would be difficult for
contractors to be able to support the cost of the equipment and resources that must be
dedicated to this contract if the contract was to be split among more than one contractor.
Therefore, after reviewing all the submissions and the results of the evaluation process, I
recommend that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Resolution authorizing the
Administration to enter into negotiations with Adventure Environmental, Inc., as the primary
contractor, and Aquatic Control Group, Inc., as the secondary contractor; and authorizing the
Mayor and City Clerk to execute the final negotiated agreements; and further, in order to avoid
interruption of waterway cleanup services, approving the extension of the existing agreement
with Adventure Environmental Inc., for waterway cleanup services, on a month-to-month basis,
until such time as the new agreements can be executed.

vegetation, litter, and debris to concentrate throughout the City's waterways.
• Shoreline accumulation of trash, particularly along mangrove areas, is common
and includes palm fronds, discarded landscape cuttings, small floatables (i.e.,
plastic bottles, plastic bags, polystyrene), and large debris.
• Floating mats of vegetation and litter accumulate along docks, seawalls, and other
areas where water patterns and the shoreline configuration disrupt the flow of
suspended debris.

unwanted items continually find their way into and become submerged within the
City's waterways.

camps underneath City bridges and along shorelines; dilapidated docks and
seawalls in need of repair and piles of construction debris left at the water's edge.

assessments are conducted regularly to score these areas based on contributing factors.
For waterways, scores are based on the cleanliness of the waterway and shoreline as well
as presence of organic material. The departments responsible for managing each public
area use the data generated by this program to determine what factors affect the
cleanliness of an area and to direct cleanliness efforts where they are most needed.

APPENDIX II TO PART 200
CONTRACT PROVISIONS FOR NON-FEDERAL ENTITY CONTRACTS UNDER FEDERAL AWARDS
In addition to other provisions required by the Federal agency or non-Federal entity, all contracts made by the non-
Federal entity under the Federal award must contain provisions covering the following, as applicable.
(A) Contracts for more than the simplified acquisition threshold currently set at $150,000, which is the inflation
adjusted amount determined by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations
Council (Councils) as authorized by 41 U.S.C. 1908, must address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in
instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms, and provide for such sanctions and penalties as
appropriate.
(B) All contracts in excess of$10,000 must address termination for cause and for convenience by the non-Federal
entity including the manner by which it will be affected and the basis for settlement.
(C) Equal Employment Opportunity. Except as otherwise provided under 41 CFR Part 60, all contracts that meet
the definition of"federally assisted construction contract" in 41 CFR Part 601.3 must include the equal opportunity
clause provided under 41 CFR 60-1.4(b), in accordance with Executive Order 11246, "Equal Employment
Opportunity" (30 FR 12319, 12935, 3 CFR Part, 1964-1965 Comp., p. 339), as amended by Executive Order
11375, "Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating to Equal Employment Opportunity," and implementing
regulations at 41 CFR part 60, "Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity,
Department of Labor."
(D) Davis-Bacon Act, as amended (40 U.S.C. 3141-3148). When required by Federal program legislation, all prime
construction contracts in excess of$2,000 awarded by non-Federal entities must include a provision for compliance
with the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 3141-3144, and 3146-3148) as supplemented by Department of Labor
regulations (29 CFR Part 5, "Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and
Assisted Construction"). In accordance with the statute, contractors must be required to pay wages to laborers and
mechanics at a rate not less than the prevailing wages specified in a wage determination made by the Secretary of
Labor. In addition, contractors must be required to pay wages not less than once a week. The non-Federal entity
must place a copy of the current prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor in each
solicitation. The decision to award a contract or subcontract must be conditioned upon the acceptance of the wage
determination. The non-Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding
agency. The contracts must also include a provision for compliance with the Copeland "Anti-Kickback" Act (40
U.S.C. 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 3, "Contractors and
Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United
States"). The Act provides that each contractor or subrecipient must be prohibited from inducing, by any means,
any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the
compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled. The non-Federal entity must report all suspected or reported
violations to the Federal awarding agency.
(E) Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3701-3708). Where applicable, all contracts
awarded by the non-Federal entity in excess of $100,000 that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers
must include a provision for compliance with 40 U.S.C. 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor
regulations (29 CFR Part 5). Under 40 U.S.C. 3702 of the Act, each contractor must be required to compute the
wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the
standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a
half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week.The requirements of 40
U.S.C. 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work
48
RFP 2019-067-WG
in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do
not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts
for transportation or transmission of intelligence.
(F) Rights to Inventions Made Under a Contract or Agreement. If the Federal award meets the definition of"funding
agreement" under 37 CFR §401.2 (a) and the recipient or subrecipient wishes to enter into a contract with a small

programs;
• Serve as an operating manual for AEI operating units that do not currently have a health
and safety program;
• Set forth the minimum health, safety, and emergency response requirements for activities
that involve employee exposures or the reasonable possibility for employee exposure to safety
or health hazards associated with hazardous waste site operations and any other field
projects;and
• Meet the requirements for a written health and safety program of specific federal and state
health and safety regulations.

2.0 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
To ensure the effectiveness of this program,all enterprise wide policies and procedures pertaining to
employee health and safety will be issued at the Adventure Environmental corporate level and
implemented through the operating units. Each operating unit within Adventure Environmental has the
ultimate responsibility for implementing the corporate Health and Safety Program and is free to
augment the corporate Health and Safety Program as necessary or relevant,as long as the minimum
corporate standards are attained.
Adventure Environmental's corporate Health and Safety Program recognizes the unique position of
HSMs who have dual responsibilities to their own operational unit and to the CHSD.The vice
president of administration will work with each HSM and his or her corresponding management to
ensure that lines of authority and required reporting procedures are clearly defined and
communicated.
When personnel from two or more Adventure Environmental operating units are working together on
the same contract,the lead for health and safety program management will be taken by the HSM of
the operating unit that holds the contract unless the lead health and safety representative is otherwise
specifically identified.
When large field programs have unique requirements and specialized formats have already been
developed (such as under the Comprehensive Long-term Environmental Action Navy[CLEAN]
program or a unique subsidiary program),these existing field programs and procedures will require
no modification as long as the minimum corporate requirements for health and safety, as defined in
this manual, are satisfied.
The health and safety organizational structure for Adventure Environmental is depicted in Figure 1.
Corporate, operating unit and office management of the health and safety program are discussed
below.

OHSR for that immediate office.These OHSRs are responsible for the implementation of all health
and safety policies and procedures pertaining to their respective offices.These individuals may also
serve dual functions as project managers. Project managers are responsible for implementing health
and safety procedures at work sites in accordance with site-specific plans and permits, including
HASPs, C-HASPs, and JSAs. Project managers appoint SSCs for field work to ensure compliance with
project health and safety requirements.The SSC functions as an interface between Adventure
Environmental, subcontractors, and the client to ensure the integration of the Adventure
Environmental HASP with other site-specific plans.
