REQUEST
The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend the approval of the
attached resolution requesting toenter into a contract with Manolin &Pilar
Martinez,Inc.for After School Care transportation service from all South
Miami Elementary Schools and South Miami Middle School The children
would be picked up at 2:00 p.m.and 3:00 p.m.and be transported to Murray
Park where they have the option to participate in the Parks &Recreation After
SchoolCare Program.
BACKGROUND
Every day hundreds of children walk home from all South Miami schools
Parents are either working or have no means of transportation to pick up
children at school.In the past,the Magic Shuttle was used to provide
transportation to and from school.That service is no longer available.Last year
*98-'99,the South Miami Parks &Recreation Department began an After School
Care Program that incorporated transportation from schools to the park Over
30 kids participated and paid $7.50 per week for the program.Registration was
limited due to inadequate amount of transportation vehicles and staff Prior to
the beginning of the '99-2000 school year an outpour of concerned parents
contacted our office requesting transportation services.
Manolin &Pilar Martinez Inc.,is currently under an open purchase order (#
002132),for $2,500.00 that was assigned in December 1998.Manolin &Pilar
Inc.,have been providing transportation for the Parks &Recreation
Department's Football &Cheerleading program as well as,throughout the 1999
Summer Camp program.
Attached,please find a letter from Manolin &Pilar Martinez Inc.,agreeing to
provide after school pick ups at all South Miami Elementary Schools at 2:00
p.m.and 3:00 p.m.and transporting the children to Murray park for participation
in theAfterSchoolCare program.
A sixty-passenger bus would initially provide the service at a cost of $400.00 per
week.The proposed cost to parents would be $10.00 per week.This would
include after school pick ups plus transportation to Murray Park.Registration
also includes supervised after care program providing homework assistance,
arts&crafts anda variety of organized recreational activities.
The After School Care program would endat 6:00 p.m.The Parks &Recreation
Department would continue supervision of children until 8:00 p.m.
This bus service would pay for itself at $400.00 per week @ 40 participants
paying $10.00 per week.We anticipate much interest in this program as
parents and guardians of our South Miami youth have expressed a concern for
their children and an interest in the After School Care Program.
If there is an overwhelming demand for the latter,Manolin &Pilar Inc.would be
readily available to provide another bus.This company is a reputable local
company in existence for two decades providing local transportation to youth.
They also hold a one million-dollar insurance policy.(See attachment).Drivers
providing service for the City of South Miami would also receive a thorough
background investigation asweasa drug test.
Funds for this contract/agreement will be disbursed from account number 347-
2630,"Recreation Fees".
