A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Authorizing <br />the Award of RFP No. 08-07-01 to and Entering into an Agreement, in Substantially the <br />Same Form, with Ashbritt, Inc. for Emergency Debris Clearing and Removal <br />Operations, Attached Hereto as Exhibit "A"; Authorizing the Mayor to Execute Said <br />Agreement; Authorizing the City Manager to Do All Things Necessary to Effectuate the <br />Terms of the Agreement; Providing for an Effective Date. <br /> <br />Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and Assistant City Manager Vera reported. <br /> <br />Public Speakers: none <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Thaler asked if we are reimbursed by FEMA dollar for dollar, and Mr. Vera said <br />yes. Mayor Edelcup asked what assurances we have in the contract that would get us a quick <br />response if there is a wide area of destruction from a storm.

Ashbritt must show up <br />within 2-hours ofthe storm, our resources are to be located within the City 24-hours prior to <br />landfall ofthe storm, and so there are tight constraints and specifications contained within the <br />contract. He said that we have a quick action Performance Bond, they are FEMA certified, <br />and they are one ofthe top-tiered contractors that performed well in Hurricane Katrina. Vice <br />Mayor Thaler asked the amount ofthe bond, and City Attorney Ottinot said $100,000. Mayor <br />Edelcup felt that a $100,000 bond is not sufficient, and Vice Mayor Thaler asked if we could <br />get a price on what each $100,000 would cost us. Mayor Edelcup said to check with our <br />insurance agent and get his input on what other cities have done. City Attorney Ottinot said <br />that Ashbritt has numerous municipalities under contract and we will compare with them. <br /> <br />Mayor Edelcup said maybe we should defer this item, and City Manager Szerlag said because <br />we are in hurricane season, he would prefer to follow City Attorney Ottinot's <br />recommendation to approve this agreement and give staff authority to obtain a higher bond of <br />perhaps $500,000 and to see what the cost would be. Commissioner Scholl recommended to <br /> <br />II <br />
