ITEM K-7) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION P.O. to Jerry's Custom Landscaping Inc. 1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 The Code Compliance Division identified approximately 110 abandoned/vacant properties and nearly 30 occupied properties where property maintenance violations, specifically overgrown lots, exist. As a result, these properties cause blight and deterioration, decrease property values and expose the City’s neighborhoods to health and safety hazards. Lot clearing and mowing services enable the City to abate these eyesores as soon as the City’s Special Master deems these properties a public nuisance via the Special Master process.

The bids were opened on March 17, 2011. Seven (7) bids were received and publicly read. A copy of the solicitation document and proposals submitted are available at the Assistant to the Mayor and Council’s office for review. The initial term of the contract is for a one year period, with an option for the City to renew for two (2) additional years, on a year to year basis. The apparent low bidder Lawn Wizard USA Inc. of Oakland Park, Florida, was found to be not responsible due to inferior past performance with the City. Reasons include billing errors as well as damage to residential property while performing duties. After verifying qualifications and references City staff recommends the second low bidder Jerry’s Custom Landscaping Inc. of Miramar, Florida. The solicitation included language encouraging bidders to hire unemployed City residents as part of their workforce to complete projects for the City.
