PUBLIC REMARKS COMMISSION REMARKS REGULAR CITY COMMISSION [� AGENDA - December 15, 1998 CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Commission DATE: December 15, 1998 RE: Agenda Item # _ Approval of expenditure for the purchase of a parking management hardware and software — Duncan Industries The attached resolution seeks approval of a $6,625.00 expenditure for the purchase of computer hardware and software equipment. The equipment is necessary to update our parking management program in terms of flexibility and user convenience. The equipment's functional description, benefits and cost breakdown are summarized below: Cashkey System The "cash keys" are a highly efficient and convenient way to provide metered parking for regular or frequent drivers. Meter time is "bought" by the user by paying for and acquiring a cash key with a given amount of "meter time" in its memory chip. The key is used at the parking meter to obtain time on the dial (same as when using coins). It may be purchased at City Hall initially, and "re- loaded" with additional meter time on subsequent purchases. This system offers the following advantages: • Convenience to metered parking users, since no coins need to be carried to pay the meter. • Decrease in the workload associated with meter coin collection. • Decrease in coin jams, meter malfunctions, and general meter wear. The cashkey system is in use at a Coral Gables. Miami Beach uses a similar card -based system. \continued... MAYOR AND COMMISSION DECEMBER 15,1998 Cashkey System Cost Software, interfaces, and miscellaneous components: 100 at cash keys at $10.50 ea. SUBTOTAL: MeterTrax System PAGE TWO $875.00 $1,050.00 $1,925.00 This system lets us interface with our new electronic parking meters, enabling parking personnel to program the meters. MeterTrax truly modernizes metered parking management by allowing the City to monitor meter revenues, audit meters or meter zones, and keeping maintenance files in memory. This type of data will enable us to forecast, budget, and plan the maintenance and revenue aspects of the parking operation. A frequently used feature of the system is that it allows us change meter rates and meter time limits. This is a very important tool in on- street and off - street parking management. This feature alone yields large time savings when rate or time limit changes are required on meter zones. MeterTrax System Cost MSI Data Terminal — handheld computer $1,850.00 MeterTrax software $ 650.00 Training (2 days on -site) $2,250.00 SUBTOTAL: $4,750.00 TOTAL PARKING SYSTEM EXPENDITURE Cashkey System and MeterTrax System: $6,625.00 Both systems are available on a sole source basis from Duncan Industries. This manufacturer's product is the only one that interfaces with the City's Duncan meters. Duncan Industries is the one of the oldest parking meter companies in the country, and generally regarded as the leading manufacturer of standalone meters. Funding for this expenditure is included in account no. 001 - 2100 -519 -6435, "Acquisition of Parking Meters ". The balance of this account will be $400 after the purchase. Approval of this expenditure is recommended.

CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor & City Commission DATE: December 4, 1998 FROM:Charles Scurr SUBJECT: Agenda # or City Manager Commission Meeting December 15, 1998 f644.10 Emergency Repair and Setup Correction for IBM AS400 Server and HTE Finance and Community Development Software Approval is sought through the attached resolution to release funds to pay for the emergency repair of the printing problems and correction of the AS400 setup. Printing problem and correction of AS400 setup was caused by a refusal of support and maintenance by HTE, which has been debated since January 8, 1997. The HTE's refusal of support has been in response to the City's limitation of payments for maintenance, which was implemented as the system was not installed as contracted. Consequently, we solicited for other means of support. Turbo Tech International, Inc., was the only company that responded to the request for support and was able to provide on -site service. The problem was solved by them implementing some configuration changes. During the process, it also became apparent that the system will need a maintenance service. The already performed work amounted to $1,800 (22.5 hours x $80 /hour). In addition, it has been estimated that additional $2,400 (30 hours) will be needed to bring the system to reliable and consistent operation by performing a system maintenance service. The disbursement of $4,200 will be drawn from account number 001 - 2100 - 519.4633 Maintenance — Computer Network, Budget FY 1998 -99. The current balance on this account is $13,000. I recommend approval. v CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI To: Charles D. Scurr Date: August 20, 1998 City Manager From: Slaven Kobola, AICP Re: Repair of the AS400 Printing Problem ISIGIS Coordinator The HTE applications stopped printing documents generated by the applications used in the Building Department. As HTE has rejected the support for hardware and networking issues, I have already solicited for the AS400 support over the Internet BBS, comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc. I received only two responses: one was from a company in New Orleans, which was eliminated due to the incapability to provide on -site service. The other response was made by Turbo Tech International, Inc., from Hollywood, Florida, which was accepted. When the problem occurred, Turbo Tech has sent their engineer to examine the system, which was followed by Mr. Gremaf Reyes, who is a specialist for AS400 and connectivity to the Windows NT networks. He corrected the network addressing and identification problems, which resulted in that building permits and inspection tickets started printing. However, at that time, it was found that the whole system is dangerously low on resources, which was a result of a lack of maintenance by HTE. Consequently, there has been a number of system disturbances that prohibited the system to work properly and consistently. Proposed was that the maintenance service be performed. Mr. Reyes was not capable to render a firm estimate of how much time (and cost) it will take to perform this operation due to the peculiarities of the system's setup. The rough estimate is that 30 engineer -hours will be needed. Turbo Tech charges $80 per hour.

The attached resolution seeks approval to allow the City Manager to enter into a contract with Buade Construction Company, Inc., to construct the Multipurpose Facility Building, Phase I, at Murray Park. Detailed project specification and an Invitation to Bid was put forth for a general contractor to construct the Multipurpose Building in accordance with the plans prepared by Architectural Design Consortium, Inc., dated August 4, 1998. The Bid documents stipulated that the contract was to be awarded "to the lowest responsive, and most responsible bidder whose bid conforming to the specifications is the most advantageous to the City, considering priced bid, the experience, the qualifications of the bidder, and the bidder's current and immediate available resources." The City received seven bids on November 23, 1998. The Public Works Department reviewed the bids and found the lowest bid, submitted by Parallel Builders, Inc., to be non - responsive and incomplete. The bid submitted by Parallel Builders, Inc., lacked required information on the company's past performances and documentation of necessary licenses of the major sub- contractors. The City was unable to complete its verification of the lowest bidder's qualifications and experience due to the non - responsive bid document. The Public Works Department verified information regarding past performances and references for Buade Construction Company, Inc., and such information was determined to be satisfactory. Baude also appears to have extensive experience constructing similar facilities such as Ruben Dario Park Building Facility, The Oaks Adult Care Facility, Castellow Hammock Park Nature Center & Shelter and Custom Residence. It should also be noted that the difference between the lowest bidder and the second lowest bidder is $2,103, a negligible one half of one percent. It is, therefore, recommended that the City Commission reject the lowest bid submitted by Parallel Builders, Inc., as non - responsive and incomplete and award the contract to Baude Construction Company, Inc., in the amount of $399,500 and set aside a contingency fund of $30,000 for any unforeseen conditions and /or any necessary revisions to the scope of work. The disbursement of the contract amount of $399,500 and the contingency amount of $30, 000 would come from account No. 114 - 2020 -572 -6560, " OCD General Construction.

Scurr RE: Agenda Item # _ City Manager 0AIV, RENEWAL OF PARKING MANAGEMENT CONTRACT WITH STROYNE BROS. INC. BACKGROUND The attached resolution seeks Commission authorization to amend and renew the agreement for parking management services between the City of South Miami and Stroyne Bros., Inc. The original agreement was approved by the City Commission via resolution on February 6, 1996. The contract was executed for a four -year period with an effective date starting on October 1, 1995. It gives the City the option to renegotiate and renew the agreement for four (4) one -year terms. ANALYSIS A number of factors combine to necessitate renegotiation of the parking contract. These include the expanded nature of the city's parking program including the longer hours of enforcement due to the Shops at Sunset Place and the new Valet Parking program. Additionally, the existing contract does not have sufficient productivity measures, performance requirements and monitoring mechanisms. The annual compensation to Stroyne has been increased to $194,987 from the previous amount of $139,800. The majority of the increase is due to the increased hours of parking enforcement. The current contract includes 2 enforcement officers. Presuming a 40 hour work week this includes 80 enforcement hour. Actual enforcement hours are currently less than 80 hours due to court time and other factors. The new contract calls for a total of 135.5 hours of enforcement, including 105 hours of single coverage and 30.5 hours of two officer coverage. The new contract also requires additional administrative and field responsibilities including expanded enforcement coverage supervision, valet compliance patrols, and a wider scope of maintenance. These require additional field staffing and supervision, thereby increasing the contractor's cost of doing business. The cost of the contract is offset against the parking revenues and enforcement revenues received by the City. The additional costs of this contract are more than offset by the additional revenues received by the City. The new contract also includes detailed reporting requirements and performance expectations. Details, including reporting forms, are included as attachments to the contract. The effective date of the contract is December 1, 1998. Approval is recommended.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA: Section 1. The City Commission approves and authorizes the City Manager to execute a contract with Stroyne Bros., Inc. for Parking Management Services in the amount of $16,249.00 monthly or $194,987.00 on an annual basis.

To: Mayor and City Commission Date: December 10, 1998 From: Charles D. Scurr Re: AGENDA ITEM # City Manager fa4o Commission Mtng. 12/14/98. Selection of Financial Auditor The attached resolution is seeking the City Commission's authorization for the City Manager to award a three -year contract to the firm of Rachlin, Cohen & Holtz, CPA, PA, for the purpose of providing financial audit services for the City, effective in the fiscal year ending September 30, 1998. This contract will have a renewal option for additional year, if so desired by the City. As requested by the City Commission, the City Administration solicited proposals for financial audit services by means of advertisement in the Miami Herald. Four firms submitted proposals to the City in response to the ad. They are as follows: Rodriguez, Trueba & Co., C.P.A., P.A. Rachlin Cohen & Holtz. C.P.A. Sharpton, Brunson & Co., P.A. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP The proposals were reviewed by a three - member panel including Hakeem Oshikoya, S. Miami Finance Director, Greg Feldman, S. Miami Police Captain, and Don Nelson, City of Coral Gables Finance Director. They heard presentations from representatives of these firms, and interviewed each of them on the various aspects of their proposals. After careful and extensive consideration of all the proposals, the panel unanimously recommends Rachlin, Cohen & Holtz CPA, PA, for the following reasons: a) The exceptional quality demonstrated by the firm with its experience level in municipal audit services. Presently, the company has about thirty -five (35) municipal audit and /or consulting clients. Most of them are in the South Florida region, with nearly the same size as our City. b) The quoted fee for 1998 audit is within our budget. C) Good understanding of the overall setup of the City, most especially the accounting structure. The firm once performed audit services for the City for about six years. In light of the limited amount of time left to conduct the audit work before the state - imposed deadline of March 31, it is imperative that we select a firm that has a general knowledge of our accounting setup. Rachlin, Cohen & Holtz CPA possesses this knowledge. d) General ability to provide additional services, if needed by the City, beyond the regular financial audit work. Selected of Financial Auditor Page 2 The recommended firm has quoted a fee of $28,000 in the first year of the contract, $30,000 in the second year, and $31,500 for the third year. The 1998/99 fiscal year's budget includes $28,000 in account number 001- 1100 -511 -3210, earmarked to pay for the first year fee. In the very near future, we will be making selection for another firm to perform the audit work on our CRA financial transactions. It is our intent to recommend one of the other three firms to do this work. We will bring our recommendation before you for approval, once the selection is made. I recommend approval of the resolution. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 RESOLUTION NO.

ATTEST: APPROVED: CITY CLERK MAYOR CITY ATTORNEY CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI INTER- OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Commission DATE: December 15, 1998 FROM: Charles D. Scurr RE: Agenda Item # — City Manager CHANGE IN DOWNTOWN PARKING DECAL PROGRAM The attached resolution seeks Commission authorization to change the monthly rate and location of the downtown district parking decal program. f1XT* {lYZ11 _ E The decal program has been in place for over 13 years. Its purpose is to facilitate parking at a reasonable cost for downtown merchants and employees. The holder of a valid decal can legally park in designated metered or non - metered areas from 7AM to 12 midnight, seven days a week. Non -decal holders are not allowed to park in the non - metered sections and must pay the meter when parking in the metered zones. Since its inception, the rate for the parking decal has remained at $20.00 per month. This fee results in less than $0.70 per day (assuming a 30 day month). By contrast„ the parking meter rate (as of October 1, 1998) is $0.75 per hour. Therefore, the daily cost of a parking decal is less than the cost of one hour at a parking meter. ANALYSIS For over ten years, the downtown meter rates were $0.40 per hour. Meter operating hours during this time were set at 7AM to 6PM. Under that scenario, the $20.00 monthly fee for parking decal provided a very reasonable discount. However, the new meter rates and the expanded operating hours of 7AM to 12:00 Midnight do not correlate with the present decal rate. This becomes clear when the parking meter cost for a typical 10 -hour day is applied to a one -month period and compared to the monthly cost of the decal. The following chart illustrates this point. \continued... MAYOR AND COMMISSION PAGE TWO DECEMBER 15, 1998 Monthly Cost Comparison — parking meter vs. decal parking Parking Meter Rate (new) $0.40 /hour $0.75 /hour (A) Monthly cost applying meter rate (10 hrs /day) $120 $225 (B) Present Decal Fee: $20 /month $50 /month (C) Amount of decal discount: $100 /month $1751month f (B) minus (A) ) As the figures above show, the recommended rate of $50 per month provides an even better discount than the prior decal permit fee. In order to accommodate the projected on- street parking demand within the core area of Sunset Drive and SW 73`d Street, it is proposed that the decal parking zones be shifted to the south by approximately one block. This change increases parking capacity near the core area while continuing to provide convenient on- street parking for business owners and their employees. The attached diagram shows the recommended shift. RECOMMENDATION The proposed changes to the downtown parking decal program are necessary to bring the program in line with the new parking fee structure and meet capacity requirements of the downtown district. Approval is recommended. Attachments
