Non-Competitive_Oversight_Committee_Justification_Form.docx

This is a Non-Competitive Oversight Committee Justification Form for Pinellas County Solid Waste Department's Artificial Reef Tire Removal Project. The form documents the justification and approval process for awarding a contract on a non-competitive basis for marine salvage and debris removal services. The project involves the removal of approximately 3,300 tires from five artificial reef areas located off the coast of Pinellas County, Florida, including the Clearwater Artificial Reef (2,900 tires), Rube Allyn Reef Area (160 tires), St. Pete Beach Artificial Reef (60 tires), Treasure Island Artificial Reef (70 tires), and Madeira Beach Artificial Reef (110 tires). Recovered materials must be transported via vessels capable of operating in coastal Gulf waters up to 50 feet depth and 20 nautical miles offshore and unloaded into County-provided containers at the Artificial Reef Program Staging Area at Sand Key Park in Clearwater, Florida. The form includes fields for the project name, total budget estimate, engagement duration, project manager, requisitioning department, and explanation of prior vendor utilization. The Non-Competitive Oversight Committee approval section includes sign-off from committee members Merry Celeste, Don Crowell, Chris Rose, and the Department ACA.

The form does not contain pricing information, set-asides, incumbent vendor details, or funding sources, as these details are reserved for the separate RFP documentation. The justification for the non-competitive procurement approach and the vendor's background information are to be completed on the form but are not filled in the provided document. The form is a procedural document designed to ensure proper oversight and approval of non-competitive contract awards by designated committee members prior to vendor selection.
