County Committee Meetings: Ugh! By Geniusofdespair

What do you make of the above? I am clueless but it is a lot MORE money being jumbled around and it will be decided July 19th.

I wish I had time to really go through these Committee Agendas. We award contract after contract through the County. I wonder about most of them, just not enough time to do more than wonder! Remember, RFP's can be written in such a way that only one vendor can get the bid.

July 19th the Miami Dade Airport and Tourism Committee is set to award a luggage cart concession to Smarte Carte, Inc.

The lobbyists for Smarte Carte, Inc.: Miguel DeGrandy and Nicholas Mazorra.

There is a resolution before this committee July 19th:

RESOLUTION REGARDING MIA MOVER AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER (“APM”) SYSTEM, PROJECT NO. RFP-MDAD-04-04/J104A AT MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, REJECTING ALL PROPOSALS, WAIVING COMPETITIVE BIDDING, AUTHORIZING NEGOTIATIONS WITH PARSONS ODEBRECHT, JOINT VENTURE, WITH BOMBARDIER-PCL, LLC AND WITH SLATTERY SKANSKA, INC., AND DIRECTING MAYOR OR DESIGNEE TO RECOMMEND A CONTRACT WITH ONE OF THEM TO THIS BOARD.)

Why waive the competitive bidding? And by the way, Lobbyist for Slattery Skanska: Miguel DeGrandy and Nicholas Mazorra. The Lobbyist for Parson/Odebrecht: Miguel again.

This is getting tiresome, let me do it the other way around. These are all Miguel’s current clients. (And where does he find the time to be on the Charter Review Committee?? Who put him on?)
