The Town has several park facilities and small projects that have ongoing fence installation and repair needs. For the past five years, the Town had utilized another piggyback contract with the recommended vendor, Ronald Gibbons, Corp. ("Gibbons"),for these services, however that contract recently expired in March of 2018. The City of Miami Beach issued a new competitive solicitation for these services and awarded a new contract to Gibbons.
Procurement conducted a market analysis to determine the best procurement methodology that would best suit the Town's needs.During its market research, Procurement examined three suitable contracts to piggyback from other governmental agencies. Of the contracts researched, a City of Miami Beach contract with Gibbons had the lowest pricing for all the fencing services the Town requires. The chart below contains the pricing for three (3) competitively bid contracts for vendors who provide fencing services in South Florida.

After researching the options available to the Town, Procurement recommends piggybacking the Miami Beach contract ITB 2018-034-ND under Section 7 of Ordinance 17-203, as it will satisfy our needs effectively, while minimizing administrative costs associated with issuing a separate solicitation. In addition, the Town was satisfied with the past performance of the vendor. Gibbons agreed to provide services to the Town in accordance with their contract with the City of Miami Beach. The referenced City of Miami Beach Contract ITB 2018-034-ND for Fencing Services is valid through March 21, 2021.
