ITEM BACKGROUND: Since 2008, Monroe County has contracted with pre-qualified marine salvage contractors for the removal, refloating and/or demolition and disposal of derelict vessel and marine debris. In 2009, the Board approved Resolution 242-2009 (attached)to streamline and expedite the administrative procedures for this time-sensitive work by clarifying procurement methods and purchasing level authorization to award individual service jobs. At the expiration of these contracts in 2018, the Board directed the Marine Resource Office to solicit a new proposal for these services as well as services for the installation and maintenance of aids to navigation and regulatory markers. The Board subsequently approved contracts with twelve (12) marine contractors to perform these services. Upon execution, these new contracts nullified Resolution No. 242-2009 that was specific to the previous solicitation and does not cover procedures for waterway marker work. As a result, this has prompted the need for a new resolution (attached)to continue the administrative procedures for this work in order to expedite these contracted services. In addition, Chapter 2.(D.)(7.) of the Purchasing Policy was recently created and outlines that"all Task Orders must be reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office prior to execution." The Marine Resources Office processes a minimum of fifty (50) Task Orders annually for these services, using standardized templates for awards of individual jobs associated with these contracts, and consults with the County Attorney's Office if/when a job involves an atypical deviation from the Marine Resources Office's standardized template. Therefore, staff is requesting a waiver of this requirement in the attached resolution. Packet Pg. 2363 K.2 In summary, the attached Resolution: (1) Authorizes the Marine Resources Office staff to award individual jobs to pre-qualified marine contractors under contract with Monroe County through the issuance of such task orders through use of its standardized template without the necessity of obtaining legal approval of the standardized task order format; (2) Continues the authorization of a purchasing level of$0.01-$49,999.99 to the Senior Director of the Planning & Environmental Resources Office and to the Senior Administrator of the Marine Resources Office which waives Chapter 2.(F.)(1.) of the Monroe County Purchasing Policy; and(3) Continues to provide that in the event of an emergency of an environmental or life/safety nature, the County Administrator or the Assistant County Administrator for the Planning and Environmental Resources Department may approve task orders over $50,000 and up to $100,000 in connection with the above-referenced work which waives Chapter 2.(F.)(1.) and 2.(G.) of the Monroe County Purchasing Policy for these purposes.
