The City of Miami Beach is seeking applications from marine salvage contractors who wish to participate in a prequalification pool that will be used to solicit removal and disposal of derelict or abandoned vessels from public waters, on an "as needed" basis as specified herein. Interested contractors may submit an application indicating their intent to become prequalified. All contractors who meet or exceed the criteria established in this solicitation shall be placed on a prequalification list that various City departments may access to obtain price quotations for removal and disposal of derelict vessels as the result of damage caused by accidents, storms, and/or owner neglect/abandonment, which may include sunken and partially sunken vessels, and/or other debris that may impede navigation and affect the safety of public waters; removal and disposal of damaged vessels by a major natural disaster event, which may include sunken and partially sunken vessels and other debris that may impede the navigation of public waters, wherein Code of Federal Regulations (“CFR”) and FEMA Recovery Policy shall apply.
The specific scope of work shall be determined in advance and in writing between the City and the awarded vendor. The City may provide a general scope; however the awarded vendor shall provide a written scope of work to the City as part of its proposal. Once the scope of the project is agreed to, the City will issue a purchase order with the estimate referenced as an attachment along with bond and any other special provisions agreed to. If special terms and conditions other than those covered within this solicitation and awarded contract are required, they will be included in the specific scope of work, and will be attached to the purchase order; and further, the purchase order shall take precedence over those in the base contract. CFR shall apply only to those projects meeting the specific federal requirements, as noted herein under Appendix C, 2CFR Appendix II to Part 200. The City will endeavor to advise the Contractor(s) of any applicable CFR requirements at the time the specific scope of work is determined.
