1To: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: BACKGROUND: CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission Hector Mirabile, PhD, City Manager 2001 January 13, 2012 Agenda Item No.:L An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami, Florida, authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with the company Ocaquatics 2, Inc., a company wholly owned and managed by Miren Oca, for advising and consulting services concerning the design/build of the Murray Park Community Pool and for its operation and management thereof, after completion of all construction, inclusive of all operating and maintenance costs, and requiring no fee from the City for the duration of the agreement's initial ten (10) year term. The City and Mrs. Oca concluded negotiation and you will find the proposed contract attached. The proposed agreement is presented with certain concerns that the City Attorney along with management currently have and which should considered before moving forward with a final decision. Ocaquatics 2, Inc. rejected proposed contractual language that would have required it to deliver a security bond or a security deposit within 10 days of the signing of the pool operator's franchise contract. Ocaquatics 2, Inc. insisted that it should not be required to provide the security until ten (10) days after she was given notice that the master building permit had been issued. Furthermore, the City proposed that Mrs. Oca personally guarantee that the security, required by the terms of the franchise contract, would in fact be timely provided by Ocaquatics 2, Inc. Mrs. Oca refused to personally guarantee performance of this contractual provision. Previous the Commission indicated that it was concerned about having a pool operator before it enters into a contract with the design/build firm, if this continues to be a concern of the Commission, then the City has reservations concerning the following contractual provisions, or lack thereof: (I) the provision that allows Mrs. Oca to wait until the City has committed itself to a design/build firm and incurred the cost of designing the pool before any security bond or deposit has been posted by the pool operator; and • (2) the failure of Mrs. Oca to agree to personally guarantee that lihe security will timely be deposited or bond delivered. In addition to the above concern, the City would like to mention a few other items which we believe should be understood before the final decision is made. • Mrs. Oca has insisted on a provision that limited the use of the indoor heated pool so that it would be used predominately for swim instruction. • The contract does not provide for specific hours of operation. Mrs. Oca insisted that she needed flexibility in the hours and would only guarantee that the pool would be in operation for 40 hours per week, at a minimum. City Management presents the final negotiated DRAFT agreement for your review. At this point it is up to the Commission to decide whether to accept or reject the contract. Mrs. Oca has requested that the following language be added to the Escrow Agreement. The City Attorney has no objection to the addition of this language: "City acknowledges and agrees that Escrow Agent is counsel to Ocaquatics in this matter. In the event of any dispute hereunder, Escrow Agent may continue to represent Ocaquatics in such dispute by resigning as Escrow Agent and by delivery of the Escrow Deposit to a substitute escrow agent. Escrow Agent shall thereafter be relieved of any further liability hereunder and Escrow Agent may continue to represent Ocaquatics in this Franchise Agreement and in all matters related thereto."
