BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: March 4, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Ed Schroeder
SUBJECT: Emergency Agreement for Beach Cleaning Services
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT: ALL
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: This agenda item requests Board ratification of the Emergency
Agreement for Beach Cleaning Services (#C14-___-TDD) entered into by and between the
County and Sandman, LLC.
BACKGROUND: The County’s Public Works Department has been cleaning approximately 9
miles of beach on Okaloosa Island and in Destin since November of 2013. These services have
been provided during the “off season.” However, with Spring Break beginning on March 1st the
County does not currently have the ability to adequately perform these services without
acquiring additional labor and equipment. There is an immediate need to provide the necessary
resources to make certain that the beaches are adequately cleaned and maintained for our
visitors. Otherwise, the County runs the risk of alienating our visitors with the likelihood that
they will not return to our tourist destination, which could result in great economic loss to the
County.
At its February 18th meeting, the Board voted to enter into an emergency agreement with
Sandman, LLC for the emergency provision of beach cleaning services. Pursuant to Section H of
the County’s Purchasing Manual, the County entered into the attached Agreement through the
emergency procurement process. The Agreement is for a 60-day term ending on April 30, 2014.
Total compensation is $86,388.25 plus reimbursable disposal costs not to exceed $6,500, for a
grand total of $92,888.25.
OPTIONS: Ratify the emergency agreement. Do not ratify the emergency agreement.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Ratify the emergency agreement.
