HISTORY:
The City of Miami Beach entered into an agreement with Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. pursuant to RFP Np. 27-11/12 on August 28, 2014 for disaster recovery services and debris management.
On September 6, 2017, in advance of Hurricane Irma, the City of Miami Beach declared a State of Emergency, pursuant to Section 26-31 of the City Code. After Hurricane Irma made landfall, on September 13, 2017, and then again on September 18, 2017, the City Commission ratified and extended the State of Emergency. On November 3, 2017 the City Manager’s authority under the State of Emergency ended.
On September 7, 2017 the City issued a purchase order to Ceres Environmental for $91,200 for disaster recovery services for Hurricane Irma. Change order No. 1 was issued on September 28th, 2017 for $1 million dollars bringing the total purchase order to $1,091,200 as new rates were negotiated due to a change in scope as multiple passes were necessary to aid in the disaster recovery. Change order No. 2 was issued under the extended state of emergency for $50,000 for stump removals in City owned parks for billings that occurred under the state of emergency and change order No. 3 was issued for $900,000 to address additional billings due to Hurricane Irma disaster recovery. This brings the total amount of the purchase order to $2,041,200.
There are subsequent invoices totaling $64,569.58. The Administration is seeking the City Commission to approve the final payment of $64,569.58 as final payment for these services.
