Title

(FVS), the sole respondent to said Request for Proposal; authorizing the City Manager to negotiate a new contract with FVS; and further authorizing the City Manager to extend the current contract with FVS on a month-to-month basis at the current rate until an acceptable contract is negotiated.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
That a Resolution accepting the response to Request for Proposal No. 2007-10-04, Trolley Program Maintenance Services, from First Vehicle Services, Inc. (FVS), the sole respondent to said Request for Proposal; authorizing the City Manager to negotiate a new contract with FVS; and further authorizing the City Manager to extend the current contract with FVS on a month-to-month basis at the current rate until an acceptable contract is negotiated, be approved by the City Commission.
BRIEF HISTORY:
Upon duly following the requirements of the procurement code and after two solicitations for requests for proposal for trolley program maintenance services, a sole response to RFP No. 2007-10-04 was received by the City from First Vehicle Services, Inc. on November 15, 2007.
After extensive research in reviewing firms available to provide the services requested in said request for proposal, it has been determined that FVS is the best available vendor to perform these services.
The pricing included in said RFP response exceeds the current amount budgeted in the FY 2007-2008 budget and will need to be negotiated and adjusted prior to the preparation of a new acceptable contract. The current contract with FVS has expired and there is a need to extend this contract on a month-to-month basis at the current rate until an acceptable negotiated contract is executed.
