AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to enter into a no-cost Amendment No. 1 to the contract
with Adventure Environmental, Inc. for marine debris removal services for plugged and non-
plugged canals, to lower the bonding limits to reflect the contract amount.
ITEM BACKGROUND: F.S. 255.05 requires contractors on public works projects to furnish
performance and payment bonds in the amount of the contract. The contract in this case has a
maximum not-to-exceed amount of $200,000. The RFP that was issued for this work, and the
resulting contract, called for a performance bond and a payment bond in the amount of $1 million.
However, the proposal turned in by this contract came in much lower than the original estimate.
This amendment lowers the amount of each bond (or one combined bond) to equal the contract
price.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
03/21/19: Approval to advertise a Request for Proposals (RFP) for marine debris removal and related
services, funded by grant funds from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, for
removal of marine debris created by Hurricane Irma from plugged canals in unincorporated Monroe
County.
05/08/19: Approval to enter into a contract with Adventure Environmental, Inc. the top ranked
vendor for marine debris removal services for plugged and non-plugged canals in an amount of
$200,000; funded by grants LP44073, LP44074 and SDO05 from the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection.
