ANALYSIS

On July 13, 2011, the Mayor and City Commission approved the award of a contract between the City of Miami Beach and Unify, Inc. (Unify), for Maintenance of the Telecommunications Systems at various City facilities.

 

On August 3, 2011, a certification of contract was executed and entered into by the City of Miami Beach and Unify, pursuant to the Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 28-10/11.

 

On, or about January, 2016 Atos IT Solutions & Services, Inc. (Atos), completed a transaction to acquire Unify, with Atos emerging as Unify's corporate parent entity, of which the City was notified on or about November 1, 2016.

 

Pursuant to the agreement, any assignment of the agreement requires the written consent of the Mayor and City Commission.

 

Consequently, Unify and Atos seek the City's consent to assign the Agreement from Unify to Atos, as successor-in-interest by acquisition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CONCLUSION

Administration has conducted its due diligence and recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Assignment and Assumption of the Agreement, and further authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Consent to Assignment and Assumption of the Agreement.
