CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:The Honorable Mayor, Vice Mayor, and Members of the City Commission
FROM:Genaro “Chip” Iglesias,City Manager
DATE:Tuesday, May 21, 2024
SUBJECT:Gym floor refinishing improvements at the Gibson-Bethel Community Center
($32,000).
RECOMMENDATION:Approval of floor refinishing improvements at the Gibson-Bethel
Community Center’s basketball gymnasium in the amount of $32,000.
BACKGROUND:The City desires to piggyback on the Sourcewell Contract #031022-GER to
procure professional hardwood floor refinishing improvements under the
terms and conditions as set forth in the agreement.
The indoor hardwood basketball court at the Gibson-Bethel Community
Center requires refinishing and game line painting services. The last court
refinishing took place in 2018, and despite meticulous daily maintenance,
continuous use from youth leagues, open play, rentals, and afterschool
programming have worn away the surface topcoat.
This high level of usage necessitates detailed maintenance multiple times a
day, whereas a refinished court would not only improve users’ experience
and safety but also reduce maintenance to a few times a week.
It is recommended that hardwood athletic courts undergo full sanding and
complete refinishing every six (6)to ten (10) years.Regular refinishing of
the athletic hardwood floor extends its life expectancy,improves safety,and
restores its natural beauty.
This project is expected to commence in August 2024 following the
conclusion of summer camp.The estimated project duration is
approximately three (3)weeks.
VENDOR:Trident Surfacing, Inc.
EXPENSE:The total expenditure in the amount of $32,00 includes sanding down
existing wood, repainting lines, laying down topcoats, materials, and labor.
FUND ACCOUNT:Parks Impact Fund, account number 117-2000-572-6440, which has a
current fund balance of $609,118.

situations where Participating Entities possess the ability, either in-house or through local third-
party contractors, to properly install and bring to operation the equipment or products being
proposed.
Sourcewell prefers suppliers that provide a sole source of responsibility for the equipment,
products, and services provided under a resulting contract. If proposer is including the
equipment, products, and services of its subsidiary entities, the proposer must also identify all
included subsidiaries in its proposal. If proposer requires the use of distributors, dealers,
resellers, or subcontractors to provide the equipment, products, or services, the proposal must
address how the equipment, products or services will be provided to Participating Entities, and
describe the network of distributors, dealers, resellers, and/or subcontractors that will be
available to serve Participating Entities under a resulting contract.
Sourcewell desires the broadest possible selection of equipment, products, and services being
proposed over the largest possible geographic area and to the largest possible cross-section of
Sourcewell current and future Participating Entities.
C. REQUIREMENTS
It is expected that proposers have knowledge of all applicable industry standards, laws, and
regulations and possess an ability to market and distribute the equipment, products, or services
to Participating Entities.
1. Safety Requirements. All items proposed must comply with current applicable safety or
regulatory standards or codes.
2. Deviation from Industry Standard. Deviations from industry standards must be
identified with an explanation of how the equipment, products, and services will provide
equivalent function, coverage, performance, and/or related services.
3. New Equipment and Products. Proposed equipment and products must be for new,
current model; however, proposer may offer certain close-out equipment or products if
it is specifically noted in the Pricing proposal.

products must be delivered to the Participating Entity as operational.
5. Warranty. All equipment, products, supplies, and services must be covered by a
warranty that is the industry standard or better.
D. ANTICIPATED CONTRACT TERM
Sourcewell anticipates that the term of any resulting contract(s) will be four years, with an
optional one-year extension that may be offered based on the best interests of Sourcewell and
its Participating Entities.
E. ESTIMATED CONTRACT VALUE AND USAGE
Based on past volume of similar contracts, the estimated annual value of all transactions from
contracts resulting from this RFP are anticipated to be USD $10 Million; therefore, proposers
are expected to propose volume pricing. Sourcewell anticipates considerable activity under the
contract(s) awarded from this RFP; however, sales and sales volume from any resulting contract
are not guaranteed.
F. MARKETING PLAN
Proposer’s sales force will be the primary source of communication with Participating Entities.
The proposer’s Marketing Plan should demonstrate proposer’s ability to deploy a sales force or
dealer network to Participating Entities, as well as proposer’s sales and service capabilities. It is
expected that proposer will promote and market any contract award.
G. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

Entities. Proposers should submit their complete line of equipment, products, or
services that are applicable to the scope of this RFP.

cannot consider information that is not included in the proposal. Sourcewell reserves
the right to verify proposer’s information and may request clarification from a proposer,
including samples of the proposed equipment or products.
3. Depending upon the responses received in a given category, Sourcewell may need to
organize responses into subcategories in order to provide the broadest coverage of the
requested equipment, products, or services to Participating Entities. Awards may be
based on a subcategory.
4. A proposer’s documented negative past performance with Sourcewell or its
Participating Entities occurring under a previously awarded Sourcewell contract may be
considered in the evaluation of a proposal.

III. PRICING
A. REQUIREMENTS
All proposed pricing must be:
1. Either Line-Item Pricing or Percentage Discount from Catalog Pricing, or a combination of
these:
a. Line-item Pricing is pricing based on each individual product or services. Each line must
indicate the proposer’s published “List Price,” as well as the “Contract Price.”
b. Percentage Discount from Catalog or Category is based on a percentage discount from
a catalog or list price, defined as a published Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price
(MSRP) for the products or services. Individualized percentage discounts can be
applied to any number of defined product groupings. Proposers will be responsible
for providing and maintaining current published MSRP with Sourcewell, and this
pricing must be included in its proposal and provided throughout the term of any
Contract resulting from this RFP.
2. The proposer’s not to exceed price. A not to exceed price is the highest price for which
equipment, products, or services may be billed to a Participating Entity. However, it is
permissible for suppliers to sell at a price that is lower than the contracted price.
3. Stated in U.S. and Canadian dollars (as applicable).
4. Clearly understandable, complete, and fully describe the total cost of acquisition (e.g., the
cost of the proposed equipment, products, and services delivered and operational for its
intended purpose in the Participating Entity’s location).
Proposers should clearly identify any costs that are NOT included in the proposed product or
service pricing. This may include items such as installation, set up, mandatory training, or initial
inspection. Include identification of any parties that impose such costs and their relationship to
the proposer. Additionally, proposers should clearly describe any unique distribution and/or
delivery methods or options offered in the proposal.
B. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
Proposers are expected to pay to Sourcewell an administrative fee in exchange for Sourcewell
facilitating the resulting contracts. The administrative fee is normally calculated as a percentage
of the total sales to Participating Entities for all contracted equipment, products, or services made
during a calendar quarter, and is typically one percent (1%) to two percent (2%). In some
categories, a flat fee may be an acceptable alternative.
IV. CONTRACT
Proposers awarded a contract will be required to execute a contract with Sourcewell (see
attached template). Only those modifications the proposer indicates in its proposal will be
24
Rev. 3/2021 Sourcewell RFP #031022
Athletic Surfaces with Installation, Related Equipment, Materials, and Services
Page 8
available for discussion. Much of the language in the Contract reflects Minnesota legal
requirements and cannot be altered. Numerous and/or onerous exceptions that contradict
Minnesota law may result in the proposal being disqualified from further review and
evaluation.
To request a modification to the template Contract, a proposer must submit the Exceptions to
Terms, Conditions, or Specifications table with its proposal. Only those exceptions noted at the
time of the proposal submission will be considered.
Exceptions must:

The benefits of this Contract should be available to all Participating Entities that can legally
access the Equipment, Products, or Services under this Contract. A Participating Entity’s
authority to access this Contract is determined through its cooperative purchasing, interlocal,
or joint powers laws. Any entity accessing benefits of this Contract will be considered a Service
Member of Sourcewell during such time of access. Supplier understands that a Participating
Entity’s use of this Contract is at the Participating Entity’s sole convenience and Participating
Entities reserve the right to obtain like Equipment, Products, or Services from any other source.
Supplier is responsible for familiarizing its sales and service forces with Sourcewell contract use
eligibility requirements and documentation and will encourage potential participating entities

A. ORDERS AND PAYMENT. To access the contracted Equipment, Products, or Services under

Contract; however, order flow and procedure will be developed jointly between Sourcewell and
Supplier. Typically, a Participating Entity will issue an order directly to Supplier or its authorized
subsidiary, distributor, dealer, or reseller. If a Participating Entity issues a purchase order, it
may use its own forms, but the purchase order should clearly note the applicable Sourcewell
37

Supplier’s acceptable forms of payment are included in its attached Proposal. Participating
Entities will be solely responsible for payment and Sourcewell will have no liability for any
unpaid invoice of any Participating Entity.

conditions to a purchase order, or other required transaction documentation, may be
negotiated between a Participating Entity and Supplier, such as job or industry-specific
requirements, legal requirements (e.g., affirmative action or immigration status requirements),
or specific local policy requirements. Some Participating Entities may require the use of a
Participating Addendum; the terms of which will be negotiated directly between the
Participating Entity and the Supplier. Any negotiated additional terms and conditions must
never be less favorable to the Participating Entity than what is contained in this Contract.
C. SPECIALIZED SERVICE REQUIREMENTS. In the event that the Participating Entity requires
service or specialized performance requirements not addressed in this Contract (such as e-
commerce specifications, specialized delivery requirements, or other specifications and
requirements), the Participating Entity and the Supplier may enter into a separate, standalone
agreement, apart from this Contract. Sourcewell, including its agents and employees, will not
be made a party to a claim for breach of such agreement.
